Hey June!

I am totally mixing it up with the song and it'll probably stay on my mind the whole day. But, I wanted a catchy title so bear with me...

It's mid month and a lot of things needs to be ready by early July (*hint hint*) I already bought some of the goodies... But, wait... Why is it that June becomes a preparation for July and August? June should be special in itself, right?

We had two best weekends yet.

June 13th with Ninang C... We spent it at Sentosa (Universal Studios and Siloso beach) after a hearty lunch at Sakae Sushi. The girlsssssssssss loved sushi. And, I was amazed and wanted to cry with sheer joy. (That's a mom of picky eaters!) Maybe it's because of this cartoon they watched all the time --- Sushi Pack!

We took pictures outside US hehehe coz the tickets were sold out for the day. We ate popcorn, of course --- cheese and caramel, yum! We heard that there's a $2 entrance ticket at 7pm so I inquired and yep, there was! But, had to wait until it's 630pm to buy. Well, since we're there... We waited then we went to Siloso Beach which was a real treat to the girls. They played near the shore (huh!) while we, adults indulged to some R&R at Bikini Bar. Mixed emotions because in a week's time, Ninang C will be going home... Well, I have a feeling that it'll push through. We went back to US and the girls were disappointed that most of the sites were closed. As Bebi put it, "we didn't go anywhere!!!" Uh... We capped the night with Purefood Sisig at home.

June 20th Father's Day... After church, we have no idea where to go. We, the good parents that we are, threatened the two girls that we'll go home if they don't choose. Bebi A chirped in that she wanted to eat at Sakae Sushi again. So, off we trekked to Orchard Road. We saw the aftermath of the flash flood hehehe Wendy's was closed (sayang!) so we just ate at Sakae again, much to the delight of my girls. Then, we went to Lido to catch a movie. We were lucky that Toy Story 3 3d still have some seats left for the 430 showing... It was a good movie! I cried! Haha!

After the movie, we went to Toys R Us to use the voucher they sent us. I asked the girls to choose a toy worth $5. In the end, we had to pay more because we didn't ask how much Dawter T's purchase. I should have known it's worth more because of the packaging. Oh well... They were happy with their new toys.

Whew... Tiring but very happy moments shared with loved-ones. Wish all weekends were like these two. Carefree, fun, relaxed, fun...

Hey June!

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.
