Year of the Lost Handphones

(Two of my friends lost their handphones in 2006)

Pre has warned me that my pants pocket is not so deep to hold my handphone as it keeps sleeping off when I am seated. But, I didn't take heed. I was busy being excited because it's just a fewhours away from New Year and I am cooking Lasagna and Crispy Chicken for the first time.

We rode bus 64 from Clemenceau Avenue to Dhoby Gaut mrt because we need to pay our Citibank bills. I was holding on to my wallet, digital camera and Bebi A's towel which I wasn't able to put in Bebi A's bag.

Along the "3 bus stop" ride, I even thought of calling home to make sure my kids and Ate A has arrived there safely with Sister C. But, I was sidetracked by my chitchat with Pre that when we alighted at Dhoby Gaut and felt that I was one handphone lighter, the bus was slowly pulling away. I asked Pre if we could catch a cab and try to go after the bus but he said it was too late and we should just report it to SBS.

We managed to find out the where bus 64 will stop so we went there and we waited for an hour and a half for our bus to arrive. During that period, Pre and I managed to talk about silly things to almost serious stuffs and in between that, we kept calling my hp to make sure it was still on. Funny thing, whoever got it didn't turn it off. It kept on ringing and they kept on answering but they never spoke a word. We sms'd it but to no avail. They just don't want to return my 4 year old 7210.

Yes, guys, it's an ancient phone but it held too many memories. From Dawter T's first tooth eruption until Bebi A got hers as well. It also held a lot of friends' numbers who I will smsthat fateful day to greet a "Happy New Year".

Maybe whoever got it need to greet someone whom he haven't spoken in years. I hope that phone with so many memories will rekindle friendships, or maybe mend a broken relationship. Because it helped me do all that.

Note : Thanks Pre for waiting with me and for all the stories we shared. Really helped me forgetabout all the data inside my handphone. Hehe...

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!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

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.
