Mind of a fickle

Pag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay! O kaya ilag na lang... Hayyy life

It's fairly easy to press the delete button, but so hard to undelete those we accidentally removed. One of our VIP users accidentlly deleted all her network drive files. She called me up. Being the good department that we are (and I am being sarcastic), there's no backup to recover these files from. So what we did was to search for a tool that can undelete files. We managed to find one and it was quite good. However, all we got was a demo version. And, it doesn't show all the deleted files thus we couldn't really recover everything. How I wish the files will magically appear. Still quite tired from last night's overtime. Aside from the problem above, our Taiwan server crashed and I had to reinstall from scratch --- hmp remotely! Boy, was it slow! There are really days when you are lucky to have all these CHALLENGES!

I was blog hopping and saw pictures of New York City. A childhood longing was again triggered. Oh well, it has been my dream to go to the US one day. So many attempts and still I haven't stepped in the land of milk and honey. Year 1997, I was all set to go on a vacation with daddy. So, I applied for a tourist visa. At 21, they only see one thing in me : TNT! So, my application was rejected. 3 months after that, my daddy died. How I wished that the consul had given me the chance to spend a special vacation with daddy. Same year, week after my daddy died, I got a call from a headhunter. I was to be interviewed for a possible job in the U.S. Still in mourning, I walked up there and braved the series of technical questions. Few days after, I was in and they asked me to pass necessary papers to process my H1-B visa. Early December, I received my NOA. Once again, woke up early to line up outside the U.S. embassy. This time, I was lucky to receive my working visa. I could have been in Chi...

It could be karma. Or a premonition. I was just telling Mader L that it was quite a breather that I only need to prepare for Bebi A's things as Dawter T is already self-sufficient. Way into Baby Fyji's party, Pre came with a wet dawter T. "Naihi sa slide!" Wahhhh... Kawawa naman pero honest wala akong dala kahit anong damit para sa kanya. In the end, Mader L had to give me Baby E's shorts (good thing is that Baby E is wearing 18 month old short pants). Hayyy lesson learned. Accidents happen.

I like imagining what my daughters will be when they grow up. And, the incident during the weekend made me think if it's a preview on Dawter A's life (or am I just being imaginative? --- again!) Around 8pm last Saturday, our family prepared for a trip to Plaza Singapura. We were not able to go to the wet market because someone came to fix our water heater. We decided to bring Dawter A along. It was a major production! The minute we stepped out of our house, Dawter A started to cry. She will stop for awhile but will continue where she left of. Natameme kami sa taxi coz she was belting it out in the taxi. Even as we reached Plaza Sing, she was still crying. Pre decided to let her be. Masasanay din daw. Di talaga namin alam if she was having stranger anxiety or if she was sleepy since she slept the whole afternoon. Oh well, tumigil din sya at nakatulog. We were actually scared to bring her to Baby Fyji's christerning the next day coz it might just be a repeat performance. Surp...

Dawter A had her christening last Sunday. It was godparents-studded (nyahahahaha) *sya kasi may pinakamaraming ninong/ninang dun sa binyagan*. Want to say THANK YOU to blogger ninangs lairofeilrig and chocnut ! My daughter is truly blessed with "idols" like you. Syempers, my sincerest THANK YOU also to non-blogger ninongs/ninang! Also want to say thanks to tita cichlyd for buying a secret ingredient to one of the foods served at the party. The christening was ok, more organized than Dawter T's. Yun nga lang, Dawter A kept crying but even if she did, we still took pictures. One funny moment came from no other than Dawter T. Her titas kept trying to catch her attention hanggang she said "Naka-heels ako!" Kikay girl talaga! When I told her I was wearing lipstick, she asked me to put some on her lips as well. Hayyy... Matatakot na ba ako? During the party, Dawter A was quite sleepy, and I think had colic. Iyak pa din ng iyak. Most of the guests didn't even see...

The Lord knows when our hearts need encouragement and enlightenment. Lord, thank you for all the blessings!

Dawter A had an adventure yesterday. Ate Ann was off yesterday thus we had no choice but bring Dawter A to the baptismal seminar. On our way to St. Francis Xavier's, nothing major happened. Even during the seminar, she didn't cry nor whimper. I thought we'll be able to go through the thing unscathed. I was wrong. On our way home, we rode a cab and Dawter A started to wail. I thought that the taxi driver will ask us to go down. We couldn't figure out why she was crying. Pre thought I mishandled her. Haha! What Ninang T and I noticed was that she cries when cab stops. So, we checked if our hunch was right. It was. Rotten of all lucks, the red traffic light was everywhere we go. The short ride seemed longer. We really couldn't do anything for her. Wawa naman.
