Iskul Bukol

Before, I always hear from other parents that Primary school is tough, and it was! Dawter T seemed to have adapted well. Only the mommy seemed anxious everytime. I always tell friends that I want to cultivate a good study habit for Dawter T who is more into tv and games than studying her day's lessons.

I know I'm tough sometimes. And, there were days that Dawter T seemed realllly tired of my constant reminders. Bags and diary has to be checked everyday. There's spelling weekly! OMG! And, since Dawter T likes to stay up late, it's hard to wake her up everyday.

She's almost on her 6th week. She's on the Fusion Dance (hopefully, she'll master a bit of grace hehehe), she and her group in school seemed to be like haughty upper east siders (ok, enough Gossip Girls!) where they're friends one moment, enemies the next hehehe but they're great kids, I always hear how they're first or how they one in class games.

She loves Math and English. It's still tough studying Chinese. She has tutor and been asked to attend remedial classes, which she almost missed the first time coz she went home when she couldn't find her Chinese teacher. Oh well, good thing Sister C was at home then so I asked Ate A to bring her back to school.

They went to the zoo for their first field trip.

And, yesterday, she got an award. Hihi! Proud Mommy moment! She said she went up the stage to accept "Courtesy Pupil award"! How cool is that! She said she didn't know what to do until her Form teacher asked her to stand up.

more than being tough is being consistent and disciplining them in authoritative love. just my thought.

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.
