Cocky

My eldest just became very cocky. I pity her mom (that's me!) and dad. Because now it's gonna be doubly hard to make her study.

Well, she has Chinese tuition every Friday. I overruled her dad and herself of course because I don't want to get heart palpitation every time there's an exam for her Chinese subject.

Here's what happened.

Thursday night, I told her to tell her Chinese tutor that she has an exam next week. She didn't inform her tutor. Grrrrr. And, we didn't study during the weekend. What will I teach her????

Anyway, Tuesday came, she got her result. She got 20/20 and she had the gall to call me and be smug about it. She even said "I didn't study yet I got a perfect score!" OMG!

That was not the end of it. I've been asking about her Math result because I was a bit nervous about it. Again, we didn't study. Haha. Because she was so sleepy so the exercises I made for her just became scratch papers.

I thought (yes, I did think about this) that she was hiding the result from me for fear of my *cough* anger *cough*. So, I asked the mom of one of her classmates and she told me that they have not gotten the results too. Anyways, again, I received a call around 4pm from my dear daughter. "Mom, I got 20/20 on my Math. Do you remember that I just slept and didn't study?" Huh! Ang yabang talaga! Gusto ko sana sabihin na "anak, term 1 pa lang, madali pa..." But of course, ayoko naman sirain tuwa nya at parati na lang sya nasesermonan. Yes, Kiasu mom! and dad na rin!

We're just happy with her accomplishments. I know that she's a bit (?) not happy with our nagging. But, as I always tell her, I just want to cultivate good study habits to her. I hope that when she grows older, she'd appreciate this.

I think this mom is cocky as well about her daughter's accomplishments that she has to blog about it. Huh! Hehehe...

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!
