Cocky

My eldest just became very cocky. I pity her mom (that's me!) and dad. Because now it's gonna be doubly hard to make her study.

Well, she has Chinese tuition every Friday. I overruled her dad and herself of course because I don't want to get heart palpitation every time there's an exam for her Chinese subject.

Here's what happened.

Thursday night, I told her to tell her Chinese tutor that she has an exam next week. She didn't inform her tutor. Grrrrr. And, we didn't study during the weekend. What will I teach her????

Anyway, Tuesday came, she got her result. She got 20/20 and she had the gall to call me and be smug about it. She even said "I didn't study yet I got a perfect score!" OMG!

That was not the end of it. I've been asking about her Math result because I was a bit nervous about it. Again, we didn't study. Haha. Because she was so sleepy so the exercises I made for her just became scratch papers.

I thought (yes, I did think about this) that she was hiding the result from me for fear of my *cough* anger *cough*. So, I asked the mom of one of her classmates and she told me that they have not gotten the results too. Anyways, again, I received a call around 4pm from my dear daughter. "Mom, I got 20/20 on my Math. Do you remember that I just slept and didn't study?" Huh! Ang yabang talaga! Gusto ko sana sabihin na "anak, term 1 pa lang, madali pa..." But of course, ayoko naman sirain tuwa nya at parati na lang sya nasesermonan. Yes, Kiasu mom! and dad na rin!

We're just happy with her accomplishments. I know that she's a bit (?) not happy with our nagging. But, as I always tell her, I just want to cultivate good study habits to her. I hope that when she grows older, she'd appreciate this.

I think this mom is cocky as well about her daughter's accomplishments that she has to blog about it. Huh! Hehehe...

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

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...
