Bully

Dawter T told me that her classmate's cheche (older sister) was calling her names. I told her not to mind her when she told me she's thinking of what to call the other girl. I told her not to fight with other kids.

I didn't hear anything about it after that.

Well, until last night.

When Ate A told me that the girl called Dawter T crazy!

Crazy!

All because Dawter T was bringing home two water bottles. Because she left her usual bottle at school. And there were two water bottles straps around her neck (ok, I admit, it looks funny but it doesn't merit being called crazy!)

And that makes her crazy!

You might say I am too affected but really I am. I felt sorry for Dawter T because I saw how happy she was when I told her that I will tell Auntie Conductora to stop the other girl. It means she was affected by it .

I look ay my girl last night while she was sleeping. And, I wonder how many more bullies she will encounter in her lifetime. I have to let her fight these battles as early as now because she will face many more people whose happiness lies in other people's mishaps.

ako din affected pag nabu-bully mga anak ko. Sometimes si CK nagsasabi sa kin na... "Maybe I'm not pretty". Naisip nya kasi na pag pretty hindi binubully

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.
