Christmas in our hearts

We welcomed Christmas with our real family. With Sister C, Ate A and bro in law's family. Pre's childhood barkada and his family were also present. It was the first time not spending it alone nor with our friends here.

I actually missed our traditional Christmas Eve party where we go to Ninang B's house and then going to mass at the church beside their condo. Hmmm... But being at home, hosting the small party was quite peaceful. It felt "home".

Before I came to Singapore, it's one holiday I was not really looking forward to eversince my mommy-lola died. When I was still in Binan, I would spend it quietly with daddy-lolo, coz Tita E's family goes to Tarlac for that holiday. There was even one Christmas, if I am not wrong, the year before my daddy-lolo died when we hopped in the car and drove to Tagaytay. It was very lonely.

Now, Christmas is something I look forward to because of my family. I want them to enjoy the day, I want it to be special for them. I want my daughters to look forward to it, not because of the presents they will receive, but because of Jesus and of course, the togetherness of the family.

With this, my family and I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

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!
