Birthday Gift

It's my birthday today. I want it simple. I didn't want a party. I just want to eat pancit bihon which I will cook, fried pork and maybe, if luck (ehem Sister C) is with me, another Lana cake.

All these came true. And, I wish to thank my family for it.

There's just this incident which touched my heart and melted it. Around 4pm, I got a call from Dawter T, she asked me to spell Bebi A's name. I asked why, she said, she's making a birthday card for me. And it's supposedly a surprise. Oh ok, so much for the surprise.

Around 5pm, I called home. I talked to her again. She said she's making a card with stars and that I shouldn't say it out loud coz it's a surprise. Haha. The difference it'll make to Dawter T.

Anyway, fast forward to my arrival at home. Ate A told me that Dawter T has another surprise for me. She cleaned our bathroom with ------ tissue! She said that Dawter T told her that "she worked, and she worked and she worked!" With matching pawis pa ha. I can only just imagine. She didn't even take her afternoon nap. And, she did all these for me.

I am still wondering how she figured out that the bathroom is the one place in the house which is very important to me. But she did. So with half of a tissue roll left, I am torn of wanting to keep it for memories. Or maybe just use it to show her that it doesn't take a roll of tissue to brighten someone's day.

I got the best birthday gift ever!

Nyamy Nyamy

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)

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!

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...
