Yi, Er, San (1, 2, 3)

I took a leave yesterday for Parent's Day at Dawter T's school. And, also to spend time with my two girls. I brought both of them plus Ate A at St. Francis. We were almost late because I had this last minute urge to trim my eyebrows (o di ba priorities!?)

We arrived with time to spare. I met with Teacher Liz who was so nice and who looks like my teacher in grade school (whom I was scared of). She showed me Dawter T's report card and activity book. She said that Dawter T copes well and that she's very independent. Then, we chit chat about her other class which has this "Dennis the Menace" boy hehehe (she's half-Pinay, by the way...) I browsed through Dawter T's report card and was so pleased with her grades, especially her grades for her Chinese class. After checking out their craft projects, we then walked to the far end of the school to talk to her Chinese teacher, Cindy. She told me the same thing as Teacher Liz. Awww, I am just so proud of Dawter T.

Well, I am equally proud of Bebi A. After the Parent's day, I asked them to accompany me to the Philippine Embassy because I needed to renew my passport. Dawter T started counting in Chinese and she asked me to count after her. But Bebi A beat me, she mimicked her ate and it came out really well. I mean, honest to goodness Chinese accent. Nakakatuwa marining!

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.
