Becoming A Mother - How wonderful it is
Mother – The word which doesn’t have comparisons. I became so much excited when I came to know that I am getting ready to be a mom. I go for routine check-ups and my doctor really explained me the dos and don’ts at this stage. I had 2 scanning already and in the 5th month scanning, I could see my baby clearly. Baby moved his hands to the forehead as if giving me a salute. Now I listen to music, as I wish my kid to be interested in music. It is told that all feelings and moods of the mom during pregnancy affect the baby’s character. So I always try to be happy to make my kid happy. I started to collect dresses for him and it is just wonderful to imagine the baby wearing those frocks. I am eagerly waiting for that day, the day my baby is expected. What will I do when I see my baby for the first time? Surely, I will kiss him on his forehead to make him know that I love him that much.

Trip to God’s Own Country
During last Christmas vacation, we went to Kerala in India, which is famous for its rich culture, tradition and natural beauty. In Kerala, we went to a place called Kumarakom which is famous for rivers. We felt very much relaxed when we sailed through the calm waters in a houseboat made of bamboo. We could also taste the famous Kerala food.  Even though we planned to go to some other places in Kerala, we did not feel like leaving such a calm and nice place. So all the 4 days we spent there. Altogether we had a very nice and unforgettable experience over there.

Fountains: Perfect for the Office
Who says that fountains are only for the home turf? Well, you got it wrong then. Modern office structures now involve office water fountains as part of the architecture. This, I think, is a classy style for offices. It is also important to adorn offices so as to invite good vibes in it. It would be indeed wonderful to work in a lovely setting. This would somehow help employees to perform better and be competent at work. Who would like to work in an uncomfortable environment? So, it would be best to adorn the office to the best of what contemporary architecture can offer.

My High School Graduation
One of the biggest moments of my life was when I was able to graduate from high school. Graduation from high school was a big turning point for me. It meant I was finally able to go off on my own and start my life. It was the gateway to endless opportunities and exciting adventures. For 4 years, I worked hard and earned good grades in order to offer myself many options in life. The proudest person to see me graduate, other than myself, was my mother. She had high hopes for me and knew that I could succeed in anything that I put myself into. To make her proud and achieve my goals, graduation was a major part of my life.

Doing Wonders for the Outdoors
The fountain is a symbol of abundance. Thus, it would really be perfect to place a fountain on your turf. This can also be placed indoors if you have enough space. Truly, it would be nice to hear the water dripping. This has a soothing effect. I even would like to study when it's raining and water seems to be dripping from the window pane. Oh, what a lovely feeling! So, if you would like to get that cool ambiance, there are now many locally sold copper waterfall fountain at the home depot. Try to grab some changes for the New Year!

My Favorite Season is Autumn
My favorite season is autumn, because it is one of the seasons when the weather is tolerable where I live. It usually rains all winter and is sweltering in the summer, so I enjoy spending as much time as I can outdoors for the few months that the air is crisp and perfect. I also like fall because there are no major holidays (except for Halloween) to celebrate. My parents recently remarried and it’s really difficult to see everyone I’m supposed to when there’s a holiday. I know it’s strange, but I always think of Thanksgiving as a winter holiday, since it’s usually pretty cold here by the end of November. Autumn is the best.

Lesson Learned
I looked online as well as in my current city of residence. I’ve found that I am too poor for just about anything, which was depressing. Then I thought about my good fortune of being incredibly healthy as well as being in a great relationship, so the day didn’t seem like a total loss.  After looking for a car and feeling disheartened, I watched television for a while, then I searched online databases for jobs. I found a pretty decent opportunity for a corporate position, so I wrote a cover letter and submitted my resume.

On Being Vain
My husband and I just got married two weeks ago and now I am starting to discover new things about him. Well, don’t get me wrong here, I am talking about the cute and funny things about him. When we were just dating, I knew that he’s very particular with his looks. He is always looking fresh and fragrant which I find really great about him. Now that we are living under the same roof, I am beginning to see how really vain he is. He has lots of bath vanities items which I find really amazing and he’s really O.C too in terms of his things. Well I guess I just married a real vain man which is absolutely fine with me.

Love and Friendship
There are two important things that mean a lot to me in my whole life! That is love and friendship… I choose love because without love, there will never be a senseless and enjoyable life. All things around the world will definitely be quiet because no love in them. I can’t imagine how life would be without people loving with each other. It’s absolutely useless! The second important thing is friendship. Through it, I can feel the enjoyment of meeting new friends on my own and mingling with each other especially talking things which makes us enjoy talking to. I am a friendly person so I find myself inspiring when I collect many friends. Being friendly means being loved. I don’t want to hurt people. I don’t want to have enemies. So I love, love and love!

First Day in the Office
Honestly, I was not able to sleep last night because I was so nervous with my work. However, lucky for me that everything went just right and smooth in my work and in fact I was able to have fun. I met my boss who is very cool in my own opinion. My other office mates were accommodating as well and I believe they are all nice. The office looks great, we have a very relaxing atmosphere plus I must say the office water fountains are really looking gorgeous and the powder room too. Well, these are small things about my new work, I guess I have to prepare myself for real work these coming days besides it is not always my first day in the office.
