And we call her ANDI

When I was still pregnant with my first baby, I have been quite insistent about the name Andrea (ganda naman, diba?). First, it's my Lolo's name if he was a girl hehehe (his name is Andres), it's also the middle name of my papa's ate, and I like it coz I can use Andi as the nickname. However, for a valid reason which I can't write, hubby doesn't want it. Oh well, so dawter became Althea.

On this second pregnancy, we wanted the baby's name to start with B (A-B-C e!) but couldn't find the right name (some B names are already used by our other friend's babies). So, when we found out we were having a girl, dawter and I started calling the new baby Andi. And, I asked hubby to look for a B name that can be shortened to Andi.

I don't want dawter #2 to get mad at me for calling her Brandi or Brenda. Hayyy, it's so hard to choose the right name!

One day, hubby called me, he was watching NBA (I can't remember if his team was winning but he was definitely in a good mood),

He asked me, "Gusto mo ba talaga na Andrea?".

Of course, I said "yes".

"O sige, Andrea na lang!"

Woohoo! The heavens opened and the angels started singing "Hallelujiah!" It's a miracle! It really is.

At last, I don't need to be generic when calling dawter #2. She has a name. You can call her Andi.

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
