no visitors

i was away from blogging for a good six months, and now it seems like nobody visits this site anymore. i really don't blog to attract visitors but it sure is nice to check your counter and see that people still visit. well, if there's no new entry then there's no reason to visit. i just hope i'll find more time now to start posting more frequently again.

so i'm permanently in Pomona now. i moved here in March to be here for the birth of my daughter. i found a new job doing the same thing I was doing in San Fran but in a bigger setting. unfortunately, i inherited a lot of problems left by the previous manager. it's hard coming to work every morning. i just know there'll be problems coming along from clients and staff. i also have a Regional director who i feel is always looking over my shoulder. she's not really micromanaging me but... i guess it's just different for me to be working for a corporation this time. and we have superiors in the corp office that have no clue as to what's going on in the field yet they still feel they know what's best for the local offices. anyway, let's see how long i'll stay with this company.

i'm a proud dad! but i'll refrain from talking too much about my daughter or about fatherhood. i don't want to turn CafeAmapola into a gushfest over my daughter. i love her and let's leave it at that. i'll just post about other insignificant occurences in my life...

12 Days

How will I cope?
12 days is such a long time. Everyday I come rushing home to be with her. And while at work I, time does not pass by without me thinking of her. And now she'll be away for 12 days? What is a father to do?
My daughter Neva is leaving on Tuesday to visit her grandparents in Canada. She will be there for the next twelve days. 12 days that I will not see her smile, hear her cry, nor change her diapers. These are things that have been part of my life for the last two and a half months. And now, it will be quite here at home. Quite when I leave for work. Quiet when I get back.
12 days. I miss my baby already!
