Little Sister

I was not really given that much time before to get to know my younger sister D. When she was born, I was already in my 4th grade. When she started school, I was already in High School. The age gap was there and I didn't do anything about it.

When I came back to the Philippines for my wedding on 2001, she gave me a letter during Christmas which I kept inside my Bible til now. When I am down, I usually open and read it. It was a simple thank you letter but I held on to it because I felt so happy being appreciated by my kid sister. It never fails to lift me up.

She graduated this year. My parents wanted me to come home to see it but was not able to since there were a lot of work at the office then. I got to see her during our vacation though and boy, was she all grown up?! So pretty and thin hehe She worked at Seattle's Best for a while and when we were there, I was so proud of her because it was something I wanted to do before (worked in Jollibee or McDo) but never had the guts.

Her contract (I think) ended and she was persuaded to come to Singapore with my Mama for Bebi A's birthday. We asked them to stay until August so that they can also spend Dawter T's birthday with us. I was really surprised that my quiet little sister can now hold her own. I like our small talks, and how she was brainwashed her to like GA hehe It's such a joy to spend this time with her, talk to her about things (haven't really talked to her about lovelife yet though), see how she takes care of my daughters and to see that small sized Junior shirts can fit her without any bulge.

Another of life's simple pleasures that I am so grateful to the Lord for giving me.

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.
