Time
I got an email from a very good friend of mine asking why I have been quiet lately. The simple explanation is that I have been very busy and it seems that 24 hours is not enough to juggle family, work, social obligations, etc. Sometimes I hardly even have time for myself. I really have to make more effort to respond to (personal) emails or even update my social network sites.
In two weeks time I will be in Manila again for a two day meeting for work. It will be a short visit as usual although my boss already suggested for me to work from "home" so I can stay a little bit longer. Times have changed indeed. Whenever I am out on a business trip, the prospect of me being away for more than a week from my husband and daughter is not very appealing. In fact, I can't stand it.
I can't deny however that these business trips are also an opportunity to "get away from it all" and re-charge without the demands of the daily chores of motherhood. I can't also really complain when work brings me an opportunity to travel "home". In fact, I am getting more and more prospects to manage projects in Asia which is pretty cool.
I am already dreading to be away again...
