What Superwoman really needs

Posted by Maia - Filed under , ,
I suddenly wish I was a Gremlin that multiplies in water or have the power to clone myself! ( KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU!) Maybe even having the locket that Hermione Granger had in Harry Potter ( I think it was called the Time Turner) so I can do everything I need in the time I need to do it and be in two - or more- places at the same time. I feel like I'm about to burst. I wish I can split myself into two and revolve around - 1, 2, 3, 4... four worlds.I'm first and foremost an Admin Asst in our Family...

My WANT list....

Posted by Maia - Filed under , , ,
It's exhausting and draining to start your own business from scratch. I honestly scrimped and saved each penny that I put in this business from my own pocket - none from the 'rents - and my pride tells me that it should stay that way. I want something my own and something that I know that I gave my all to. I really have changed a lot since I decided to start out on this new venture. I am putting so much of myself in it that it's almost starting to be an obsession.I have sacrificed so much for...

My Brand New Venture: SOUTHERN POINT REALTY

Posted by Maia - Filed under , , ,
I have been a proud holder of a Real Estate Broker's License for a few months already. Of course, I was excited to start to practice but I was honestly unsure and scared of where to start. I have asked my mentors, went to seminars, and started to build a network of friends, family, and other colleagues from which I could get listings, moral support, sales, and even honest opinions on what I am about to do. But then again, I still wasn't sure. I was still scared - I was still alone.I had a partner...

The Power of a Child

Posted by Maia -
Children are very powerful. Babies most especially. Their huge eyes, their tiny features, their innocence - everything about them is very powerful. With one look they can make us do things we aren't used to. My brother came home from Law School to be with the baby. He stopped going out and actually stayed home. I used to hate being home, now I rush home every time. I baby talk, I clean up dirty diapers, I even stop working to watch the baby. I even share precious beauty sleep to check on the kid....

Move over Energizer Bunny!

Posted by Maia - Filed under , ,
That bunny will be out of a job soon. I'm taking it's place because I am such a workaholic, or so they say. I keep going and going and going and going and going.... you get the picture.

Secreat Admirers

Posted by Maia - Filed under , , , ,
I guess there are still a few romantics in this world. Today, my friend, Ms. Jo got that humongous teddy bear, a bouquet of flowers, and that mini pillow from an anonymous benefactor. It came during Friday high. When everyone is seriously trying to get everything done, and get out of there to start their weekends. So it was a surprise when the cadets came in with flowers and that huge stuffed animal from Blue Magic.Of course, we were overwhelmed. There were teasings, cat calls and bets on who it...

In Woe of My Lost Parker Pen

Posted by Maia - Filed under
Have you ever had that moment where you feel that something is a miss because you are missing something? I am having that moment now. I think I just lost my Parker Pen. Of course, there are a gazillion pens out there, and I myself have a TON of pens in my case, but this pen in particular is the only one I use. It's the most efficient, the one I always write with. The only pen in the world that matters. And now, it's lost.I don't know if it's totally lost. I mean, I lost it in the car. I found my...

General Surgeon's Warning!

Posted by Maia - Filed under
Konbanchiwa! Irasshaimase!Welcome to littlemissmarikit!It's been a long time since I started blogging again. Long time for me means months of long, uninspired or too-busy- to-blog breaks that kill my bloglife. But being the certified blog-a-holic that I am, I could not live without a blog. So, here I am again, starting fresh for the 123456789th time and hoping it will stick.It's not that I am a fickle writer, in fact, I have my livejournal account which I kind of still update once in a while....
