Sweet

Last night was totally blah that turned into something sweet. Those little moments makes my heart skip a bit.

I was supposed to have a web meeting at 10pm Singapore time (so that's around 9am in Austin and if I remember correctly, 4pm in Hungary) so it was a bummer waiting up for it especially when you're nursing a two-day headache (yes, I sleep and wake up with a headache for 3 days now) and I am having my itchy skin episode that turned to fear coz my mind is working overtime again and I was thinking if this could be HFMD hahaha (symptoms : headche, rashes, etc.) Ok ok, I know I am just overreacting. (Bebi A's school had an outbreak so that was on my mind)

I couldn't take my headache anymore so I quickly sent an email to my boss that I will not be able to make it. I hate doing that coz I don't want to seem irresponsible. But, really, the headache was just pulling me to bed. I got ready for bed at 8pm and lie down, setting my alarm for 950pm to catch my meeting. Anyway... (my thoughts are flying from one topic to another --- blame it on the headache --- and yes, I still have it) there was a quick email to the team which I received from my BB with subject : Team Meeting Cancelled ~~~~ my boss was at home waiting for his floor to be replaced or something so he took the opportunity that I couldn't make it. "Blame it on the SG gal, not me ~~~ I can be at the team meeting even if I am waiting for my flooring guys"! Wahahaha... But, really, I am just thankful! My boss was kinda sweet about it coz after that cancellation email, he sent me another email asking me if family and I are all ok. Sweet!

And, the icing on the cake last night ~~~ since my team meeting was cancelled... Kept telling my girls to lie down and sleep. But, Bebi A kept on singing with matching action. And, she's singing a song in Chinese. Over and over. Then, not to be outdone, Ate sang his school song. Riot, right! Then, suddenly, Bebi A asked, "Mommy, can I kiss you?" ~~~ Whoa, where did that come from? And who am I to say no? Bebi A kissed me tenderly on the lips then we embraced. Sweet!

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.
