Two Oh Oh Six

What a way to start the New Year! I was feeling very tired during the eve. I was even thinking how come I feel so tired when I only cooked 2 dishes whereas during Christmas eve, I cooked 4. Sister C attributed it to the fact that Christmas has come and it left a lot of sleepless nights and gimiks to make you weary.

It was not because of dishes I cooked. I was nursing a high fever which I should have realized coz the symptoms were there (tired and achy legs --- yes, those are the surefire symptoms that I am sick).

What? I can't be sick. It's New Year's day.

Oh well, we can't have everything. After eating a late, late dinner on the 31st. We started our countdown. At the strike of 12, we hugged and kissed one another. It was a simple and quiet gathering. Actually, it was just us -- my whole family, sister C and Ate A. Bebi A even woke up to celebrate it with us. We didn't eat anymore as we are still full. We just prayed. We prayed for the year that has passed, the blessings that we have received, for forgiveness and for year 2006.

God bless us this year! May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen our lives.

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!

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!
