tintin : Hi there! Thanks for leaving a comment! that’s great cuz you left a link to your blog w/c I’ll visit too! “Bloom where you are planted” is a beautiful motivator. I do hope you get to bloom and share your blossoms with your bosses who I hope finally take notice of how beautiful they are!

justice : Hehehe!

delish : Oh no! I’m so out of it! Is she here? Waaaaaaah.

Dinna : A double bailey’s coming up. My, that was a huge beginning. It takes guts to adjust to a beginning like that. Good for you!

sha : Okay one gin tonic for you!

eye : We’re more similar than we think haha! Good luck with your new job!

What’s good about new beginnings is that we can move on… and on that note I’m patiently waiting for a new post! I’m starting to have toni withdrawal symptoms. When will I read a new post? Waaaaahhhhh!!!

it was great reading your memoirs, it felt i was the one who wrote it
i rarely say yes to parties now, it was indeed a phase that i’m glad is over now.
i guess my beginning for 2006 is my (relatively) new job, i hope to forget all the frustrations i had with my previous company and just carry on with the experience i gained from it.

My new beginning isn’t all that new but it was the biggest shift I undertook — way back in 2000 when I moved to the US, settled down (translated: no more boys! I got hitched and stuck to one..LOL), shifted gears careerwise and ta-dah– became a mom almost 2 years ago. That was my new beginning because it helped me discover so many things about myself, about the world in general, and it made me appreciate what I went through and have become when I finally sat down to take it all in. Now I’m settled in my new world and trying to make the most of it. Can you make mine a double bailey’s?

hi toni. nice site you got here. i’ve been a regular visitor to your site but this is the first time i’m posting a comment. i think your topic is so timely. i’m stuck in a company with officers who don’t appreciate my contributions and a boss who couldn’t care less if i show up at work or not. but since i can’t just switch jobs because of the lack of opportunities (i’m stuck in the province where jobs are scarce), i have no choice but to make the most out of it. and so, at the start of this year, i promised myself that i will do my utmost to get the job done, even if i am unappreciated, even if my boss has absolutely no plans of where we are going, even if our heads are not results-oriented. i owe it to no one but myself to bloom where i am planted. i just hope i can stay intrinsically motivated throughout the rest of the year.

barbara : Girl power! Your sharing calls for another cosmo. It takes a lot of maturity to learn those things; I’m glad that these beginnings are making you stronger and happier with yourself.

JMom : Thank you! I enjoyed this topic.

justice : One M word: MATANDA! O sige another M word: MATURE. Pili ka nalang kung alin tayo diyan haha!

jey : Realizing one’s independence is always a turning point in one’s life. I’m glad you found yours!

Rose DesRochers : Ready to listen!

mare : I couldn’t have said it better.

What a great entry Toni! I suppose it’s a matter of time that everyone go through changes. With that said one lifestyles isn’t necessarily better than the other, just that’s what’s right for us at the moment. At this point, I look fondly at my “wild” days – which weren’t even that wild – and welcome a different fun!
