only two days?
spent two whole days with my baby girl without encumbrances and interruptions, it's pure bliss. to say I long for the innocent heydays of maternity leave is utter understatement. if only i could take a year off and stage a more refreshing return to the job. but that isn't possible even to the very rich. to the heirs and heiresses, the trust fund kids, yes, they don't need to work, ever. but to those who are at the pinnacle, the denizens who run their own empires, it might not be possible to take a few months off.
now that the exchange rate between the philippine peso and other currencies is becoming negligible, it's not fiscally prudent to laze and stare into the abyss of nothingness. it's a point to ponder whether RP is really becoming the newest tiger of SE Asia -- fewer corruption, a lot less politics, very little gossip (?). if we flex our muscles, in addition to brainstorming innovative ideas perhaps it could ignite even more economic passion in our lives. but if we take the Juan T. way of waiting for the fruit to descend from the tree, we'll be staring for a long time. though for those of us in Western Europe, it's hoping for a tiny glimmer of gold.
