Bodega

One of our requirements when renting a flat is a big storeroom. My daughters have accumulated a lot of things over the past 4 years. There are 2 tubs, rocking chair, crib mobiles, and (hayyyy too many to mention). Dawter T's stuffs are kept in 6 boxes, four of them are full of toys, and they are kept at the back of the storeroom. Well, the back is the back of more boxes. So, when we need something, tempers will really flare up and we'll point fingers as to whom will unload the boxes. It's always Ate A though. She's so patient with those things. I don't dare because I will just mess it all up. Excuses.

So, you can imagine my panic when Dawter T asked me to get one of her toys. She kept on asking me about it until I have to tell that I will give it to her on her birthday (her birthday is 4 months away hee hee). I promised myself that I will take a day off to clean the storeroom and sort those things that we can send back home. Easier said than done when one is very sentimental.

my dear pamangkin...learn from the old folks...sometimes we really want to be so sentimental, but just think of it this way, there are other kids who are more in need of those toys......if it's in the storage for about a year, you will not use it again

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.
