Cross, Star and Circle

I almost didn't make it to the mass this evening. I gave up on the problem I was solving (bukas na lang hehehe) and rushed to Christ the King church at Ang Mo Kio.

I was so happy to see my family in church. Bebi A was her usual friendly (she was smiling at the Auntie on pew behind us) self and Dawter T was trying to behave and failing hehehe... I couldn't really concentrate, what with the constant "pssst", "shhhh", "Dawter T, stop it!" and "Bebi A, come here". I had to restrain myself and keep quiet also. Or I will be at the receiving end of Pre's notorious glares hehehe

Anyway, after the imposition of ashes. Dawter T was so excited about hers. She kept on telling us that hers was a star (she can see her reflection slightly at the glass behind us). We had to tell her many times that it's not, that it's a cross. Then, when she saw Bebi A's, she said. "Bat kay Bebi A circle?" (nawala na kasi yung form nung cross at nagmukha ng malaking dot). Dawter T is really inclined in arts hehehe

On a more serious note, may it be not the shape of the ashes that was formed on our foreheads but let the start of Lent help us to reminisce the suffering and the victory of Jesus over death. May it bring us to a closer and deeper relationship with God.

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.
