Claim And Believe

Lately, I've been in a black mood. You can even read about it from my previous posts. Since April came in, it seemed like I am strugging to keep it together, at home, at work and even at "play".

It could be because of my long list of TO DOs... Which instead of getting shorter, it just seemed getting longer and longer. The "kiasu" in me wants to have to the list trimmed down so that I can breathe. And, it's not happening.

Anyway... I finally acknowledged to myself that I cannot do it --- ALONE. I uttered a simple prayer while I was in bus travelling to work. "Lord, turn my life around, even a tiny bit".

After that, I called Ate A and asked her to prepare. We're going to OZ embassy to get her visa. I was thinking that I haven't prayed enough, haven't asked the Lord enough for one wish to be granted. *insert smile here hehehe*

While at work, I printed all the necessary documents and asked for time-off. Rushed to OZ embassy, there were a few people... I commented to Ate A that at the US embassy, there are more people applying for visa. Anyway, we finished the form by 1130AM and queued. They called our number by around 1145 and we found ourselves in front of the immigration officer. The officer was very nice, when he asked how long Ate A has been with us, I had this feeling that everything will turn out fine. And it was, at around 1205, Ate A had her visa!

Oki, though we were very happy about the visa... We became worried at the minutes passed by. Bebi A will be coming in at 1230 and we don't think we'll be able to meet her. The bus uncle and aunty were not picking up the phone, our Pinoy neighbor was not around... We were really panicking!!! As soon as we saw our block, we rushed to our flat and saw Bebi A standing outside. All ALONE!!! My heart was beating fast! But she just smiled at me and greeted me with a sweet smile. She said she was fine but she was a bit sheepish when she told me "I had to pee, Mommy! I couldn't hold it. I peed near the trash chute!" Hahahaha... Anyway, we poured water over it but commended Bebi A for her presence of mind. I am just happy she's safe.

Thank you, Lord for yesterday... It did turn my day around... And, it also shortened my list by one... *wink*

I am off to work-packed weekend but I know that everything will turn out GOOD because GOD has already blessed me. I claim it and I believe it!

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.
