Today we went to a presentation for the Children's Books Week at one of our local district's malls. My daughter, Abbygail was chosen as one of the finalists for this year's 'Just Books' poster competition. Everyone at her school was so proud of her and waited excitedly for the winner to be announced. Basically she was going against many finalists/participants from about 6 different schools in the district.

I was totally shocked when they announced the winner. Abbygail WAS the winner for the 2nd grade level of the whole district. OMG. So very proud of her. And she received many prizes, including her winning piece is all nicely framed for her. Awww. I guess, I shouldn't be that surprised since that she sees me drawing and designing every single day at home. Her piece was so beautiful. I will post a picture of it later. :)

Everyone was praising her work of how beautiful it was. She's all shy and blushing. *g*

I'm just so happy that she's got the talent in art just like me. I can't wait until I can get her a computer so she can start learning what I know since she's this young. If she does start soon, I know she'll be a great designer/artist by the time she's 12! *bounces* She'll probably going to be so much better than me and she and I can work together!

Well today started out to be fantastic, even that these past few days we've all been kind of sick from the flu. But today we're all happy! :D It feels so good to see your baby achieves something and get the fabulous recognitions for it. ;)

Today started really bad. Hubby was pissy, I got pissy and then everything just went totally awful. I walked away and stayed away for a bit in the garage to think. I decided, I'm not going to keep going like this. I've had enough with being quiet and being a follower. I've never really been a follower of another person since I'm pretty independent. But I haven't been myself at all since I got married.

Well, now I'm determined to give myself a chance to be alive again. I'm not going to sit here and just let things go the way it is. I have to make the changes. All this time I've been expecting others to change, but it never worked. I know now that I have to do it so everyone else can also see and change. I'm going to take charge of my life, my kids' lives. Others can just wait and see whether I'd fail or I'd succeed. I won't know unless I try, right? I have my talents and skills to be somewhere. To be someone. I have to use it or I will just die slowly.

I realised today that I've been declining job offers as of late. I've been stupid. so that won't happen again, I hope. I'll try my best to keep up with all the offers and take what's given to me. I won't be insecure anymore. People only offered because they knew I was capable of doing a good job on the projects. Right? That's why they offered them to me. I guess I've been second guessing myself when it comes to my work and my abilities. I really need to change that. :)

I'm a thinking positive girl today. And hope that it will stay like that for a long long time.

I will not get depressed and lazy to do what I love the most. I will make things, everyday. I won't waste my time doing stupid stuff anymore. ;)

Eee! I have Vox! *is happy* Thank you so much, Mena and the lovely Vox team, for selecting me to receive an invite! Now, if I have interesting things to say... hmm.

Nothing to say here yet right now. I have to go back to work now.
