Whoosh... I Know, It's Been Awhile!
Life’s been busy, and I had to hit pause on blogging 😓. But guess what? I’m back and ready to dive back into one of my favourite things to do ever—blogging! Even though I’ve been away, I didn’t stop writing. I’ve been learning new things and documenting it all along the way.
What’s Been Keeping Me Busy?
While I wasn’t posting here, I started a new project—a tech blog all about front-end web development! From essential tools to tips and tricks for success, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned. It might be a bit technical if you're not familiar, but it’s where I’m documenting my journey. Curious? Check it out for a sneak peek 😉
Why I Took a Break
So, what’s been going on? Well, around six months into my maternity leave, I decided to jump into a fast-track program (emphasis on fast please). Imagine balancing school with a six-month-old baby. Yep, I was juggling late-night feedings, assignments, and tests—all while trying to keep my family life running smoothly. It was tough (and I definitely had my moments of self-doubt), but I kept pushing through, determined not to give up. Some days were harder than others, but I made it!

The Support System That Kept Me Going
A quick shoutout to my amazing husband, Dr. Baey (oh my darling husband). 🙌 He was a huge support during this whole experience. Whether it was debugging my code at midnight, coaching me through assignments, or just being my rock, he was there every step of the way. The key takeaway? A relationship is all about teamwork. No matter how challenging it gets, we push each other to do our best. 💪

Big News: A Job and a New Chapter
After all that hard work, it paid off! I graduated and got a new job (yes, your girl got the job—whoop whoop! 💃). It’s been a surreal, fulfilling year. There were definitely ups and downs, but I couldn’t have made it through without the support of my husband. We learned together, faced challenges together, and celebrated together. Now, I’m embracing this new phase and ready to see what comes next!

Reflecting on 2021
It’s hard to believe that it’s already November! This year has been a rollercoaster ride, but when I look back, I’m grateful. Sure, it wasn’t perfect (like losing a loved one (my Dad) was tough💔), but we made it through. Life teaches us that perfection is an illusion, and we need to appreciate every moment we have. So while we’re still here, let’s keep striving, keep loving, and keep living fully.
Celebrating My Son’s Big Milestone
Oh, and did I mention that my little man turned one?! I still can’t believe it. Time flies, right? I had a bit of mom guilt because I couldn’t write as much as I did with my daughter, but my son has been such a great support during this journey. He’s growing so fast, and although he doesn’t want to be held as much anymore (he’s too cool for that now 😂), he’ll always be my baby. 💖
Looking Ahead
And that’s a wrap on what’s been happening lately! I’m so happy to be back here. Life is still a mix of challenges and wins, but I’m embracing all of it. Thank you for stopping by in my little corner of the internet today, and remember, tough times don’t last, but tough people do. Until next time...💋

ReplyDeleteP.S. some of us discovered your hiding spot where you showcased your coding journey long time ago 😏 (well, what can I say I'm a stalker of everything wems 🤪).
Anyhoo, despite all of the challenges 🤕🥵, and with life happening 😔, your positivity and determination has been a good source of strength to draw from.
Love you my darling Wems, and I am so proud of the Beautiful Hips-ilicious Mrs-Dr-Bae Mama-bear Ms-Congeniality (and not to forget Wig-changing-everyday) girl you are. Cheers to this beautiful success story 🥂.
