I'm Becoming a Blogger!

I am jumping on the blogging bandwagon and will be writing about facets of my life that I find noteworthy and, hopefully, at least somewhat entertaining to others.  When I told my husband, Randy, about the concept and the title of my blog, he asked how this would be a blog about the Filipino-American lifestyle.  I told him just by virtue of the fact that I am Filipino-American, and these are my life experiences, this is a blog about the Filipino-American lifestyle.

I asked myself why I would take on such a project when literally almost every single minute of my life is filled with activity -- I work full time, have a husband who works very long hours, a five year old, an 8 month old, a dog, and a house to manage.  I love to write, but don't have the time or stamina to write a novel, and while some (namely, those who have insufficient regard for the concept of Constitutional rights -- you know who you are ; - )) might say that writing my legal briefs is an exercise in "creative writing," it's just not the same thing.  I also want to have a written account of how I'm spending my time these days.  I am busier than I have ever been in my whole life.  Randy and I ask ourselves what the hell we used to do with all our time before we had kids, and wonder how we could have ever complained back then about being busy.  But I know this rather insane time in my life will be over before I know it, and then I really will have more time on my hands, and I will need to be reminded what being busy really means.  Finally, I'm doing this because I am not a crafty type of person, and this allows me to make an electronic scrapbook of sorts. 

These are the days I'll remember.
