It had to end this way

I still find it hard to believe that in one and half weeks, I won't be stepping foot in my office at Basement 2. It has been a year here in this hole, but 2 and a half as a whole with the company.

Yes. I am moving on.

Eversince February, I had a series of downers at work. A lot of sleepless nights mulling over what happened to the network and the server. And, whole day at work where I try to dodge my boss so that there won't be a karaoke session (as my dear lola likes to put it).

It's all gonna end soon.

I am thinking positive about everything. My load as of the moment is so light that I have to put toothpick in my eyes to stay awake. I am trying to mend broken bridges and would like to leave with no hard feelings whatsoever to those people who have hurt me so much, may it be intentionally or not.

I am praying for more success to the company who has given me a lot of opportunities. Memories with people I've dealt with. And, friends whom I hope to keep forever. It's so heartwarming that there are people who valued my contribution. One specific lady whom I like so much gave me a farewell lunch last Monday. She's currently stationed in Beijing and was leaving last Tuesday thus the early treat.

One at a time.

With a little hop on my walk these days (especially if there's a new episode of GA), I am praying that the company I am about to join will be as welcoming as the one I am leaving. I fervently hope that I'll get along with my new boss and that I could get to make new friends.

I also hope that things won't be very tough that I have to sacrifice my time with my kids.

I am excited and scared as well. But, I just need to have faith.

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.
