It&#8217;s DECEMBER. It felt like I just\u00a0squealed\u00a0last October, if you could remember, about our much-awaited\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/06\/destination-vietnam\">backpacking to Vietnam<\/a>. Sadly, due to husband&#8217;s work getting in the way, the trip had to be cancelled last week. Well, okay, not really cancelled, rather postponed. It sure did break my heart. But not for long. I believed\u00a0<em>when something is taken out of you, Life always has better reasons why<\/em>. Like when the day our trip got cancelled was the day Brian agreed to buy me, finally, my iPad. Hep hep! It felt timely having it on my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/22\/turning-2-and-the-top-5-entries-are\/#.TtgunnOzVAA\">2 year milestone<\/a>!\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Fine, I admit, I sulked like that lil kid again having her tantrums for not getting an ice cream coz really, I was still feeling down postponing our year ender trip. But looks like I got myself distracted with the new toy now. So days got lil brighter ahead. And when it used to feel like I could live without the iPad which almost every neighborhood had, well, now I can&#8217;t! Because I love being able to easily showcase my work during client meetings now\u00a0w\/o bringing a heavy laptop. And oooooh, play chess while on a train ride.
