My Work and Me

My work is very demanding. At the end of the day, I often realize that even 24 hours are never enough to finish my work. Because of this, I am always stressed and tired. It must be crazy on my part to join this international swapping community, but I would like to develop some form of responsibility to make some time to be happy on my own. It is all about time-management. Reaching out and sharing wonderful stuff to whoever my partners will be, can be a great opportunity to win many new friends. That, I think, is one cool motivation for me to learn how to manage my hectic schedules better!

Comment: It's a very good thing I'm going back to double check that I rated everyone - I know I wrote you a long note about the pretty card and cultural note, but it's not here anymore :( My guess is that I just exited the box instead of hitting "save ratings," because I'm a dip like that. So please accept a very late "thank you" and my sincerest apologies.

Comment: Thanks for the interesting menus! I am still trying to choose what to have, but my partner has decided on 'Lexington's Chuck Wagon' from Heaven 'n Eggs!! Some things are similar to English take-away, but lots of things are very different and sound much nicer!

Comment: You're right, some of your meals were awfully familiar, but with a Philippine twist. For example, in Japan, takoyaki have octopus in them but nothing else. Your version looks tastier, for sure. (And your food photos are beautiful, too!)

Hi, I've sent you a few messages regarding some past swaps(Lucky 7's and Take Out Menus)- I still haven't heard back from you.. if you could please let me know if you've received my swaps, I'd appreciate it.

Hi GentleGravy, I noticed a Greek word on your blog- Paraskevidekatriaphobia... literally Friday thirteen fear! Peeos leei then milate te ellinika; (who says you don't speak Greek?)!

No, my partner is from Ililo City! We don't have pet chickens anymore, though. They were fun.

Also, oh my gosh! Rittenhouse Square is one of the most beautiful parts of the city. You really had a great neighborhood!
