			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>it&#8217;s been almost two years since mia was born and yet i haven&#8217;t lost my jelly belly. oh, i&#8217;ve lost weight, even without any of those <a href="http://quickweightloss.org/">diets for quick weight loss</a>. all i need was portion control. i&#8217;m not sure, but i think i&#8217;m back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but sadly, i can&#8217;t say that i&#8217;m back in shape.</p>
<p>my jelly belly, which has never been firm anyways, now needs a lot of work. i&#8217;ve been procrastinating for so long, but i really need to do something about it now. although i was off to a good start with the <a href="http://about-ruth.com/2009/04/06/ommm/">power yoga</a> classes i took last year, the venue was just too far from my place and the commute was getting onerous. if i&#8217;m to stick to a fitness regimen, it has to be convenient. otherwise, i&#8217;ll just come up with all sorts of excuses, haha!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>on and off i&#8217;ve been entertaining the idea of going back to school. not a phd (i already gave up on that a long time ago) but something more technical, more skill-based. if one can earn an <a href="http://www.wgu.edu">online degree</a> on nursing, i would be interested, as i&#8217;m not keen on studying here in singapore. and much as i would have preferred to study in the philippines instead, i couldn&#8217;t very well leave the rest of the family here in singapore, huh? so distance learning would have been a good alternative, except that nursing isn&#8217;t exactly cut out for distance learning, eh?</p>
<p>oh well, perhaps i&#8217;m better off building on what i already have instead of pursuing something altogether different. i know i enjoyed teaching at the university, both in the philippines and in germany, so i could probably aim for an <a href="http://www.wgu.edu/education/online_teaching_degree">online teaching degree</a>. or i could build up on my laboratory research experience and attend a refresher course on the advances in biotechnology. or perhaps i could further my writing and specialize in scientific and medical writing? ahhhh, that&#8217;s the quandary of being a jill of too many trades. it&#8217;s a struggle to choose!</p>
