Every Saturday morning, i make it a point to bring Lacey out for a stroll in the park. She is the apple of my eye, and she holds the title for being the indisputably most adorable brown poodle. ever. Lacey is more of an indoor poodle. She reigns supreme in the house. She consciously plops her soft brown head on the throw pillows, simply because she knows that its comfortable. Absolutely refuses to have a good night's sleep without the ac. She stays indoors 7 days a week. Her only adventures out are occasional car rides and the weekend trips to grandma's house. So you can understand when on saturday mornings, i ask her if she would like to go out for a walk with me her response is one of great bubbly excitement.

So off we go in our littel red car, the park a short distance away. The moment i put her on the leash and let her out. She's like a mini marathon runner. She makes a mad dash around the park. Much to my dismay, all i wanted was a leisurely stroll but I guess she's too preoccupied with the fresh air, muddy puddles & itchy grass to pay attention. So invariably i get dragged along in her frenzied pace. She sniffs at everything, and does it all in super fast forward. She keeps to the sidewalk at all times and seems to jump a little if her paws were to touch grass, as if surprised at this funny thing called grass. Lacey, you are truly meant for the great indoors! haha. After a while, i sorta get used to the idea of her mad dashes around the park. It takes a few rounds around the park before she can slow down. Its like a whole week of energy all saved up just so she can have her crazy run around the park.

So now i call it our Saturday morning jog. This way we both get our exercise.

Yes people! (whoever out there thats reading this.) I've finally succumbed to the masses and I've acquired a blog for myself. This is my very first post. I spent the whole morning crafting the 'look' that i want for this blog. I played with the colors...(god knows how many times i was trapped between ash blue and moss green!!) & finally I've settled with this clean white look instead. Like it? And i even dressed it up a bit too! pretty isn't it. ; ) So when i was all done with making my blog look all pretty and stuff, i was stumped. I have no idea what to write! What do people write about in their blogs, anyway? As a general rule, I refuse to talk about what a bore my life is. If its boring, i won't write about it. Deal? So if there are no new posts on this blog for a long time, then you'll know that i lead a SAD existence. Lets hope that doesn't happen. *cringe*

Anyways. I've got good news! I got my confirmation letter today. I've been working here 3 months already. Gosh. How time flies, and my boss remembers the date i started working here. (Feb 26) Even i don't remember the date. So yes, as of today I'm a permanent staff. Honestly, i don't get whats the big deal about whether I'm a confirmed staff or not, well... apart from the possibility of being let go (fired) i suppose. Well, the past 3 months has been pretty good to me. Work is fun. Not many people can say that now, can they? I can be myself and I don't have to worry about dressing up. I came to work today in my flip flops, 3/4 pants and t-shirt. Fridays are supposed to be casual, rite? So how cool is that! And i just love love my brand new iMac. Its so pretty. I absolutely love it!! And the best bit, there is NO such thing as working late nights here. So yea, that is enough points to make me love my job. Enough said.

Lets hope It'll be a good work year for me, with more interesting and challenging stuff to design! And lets hope this blog doesn't just die out on me. *fingers crossed*

Cheers!!
