Award in Chinese

Dawter T never fails to surprise me with her accomplishments at school. In fact, the mere thought that she answer her homework/exercises correctly has already made me so proud (I can remember that at 2nd grade, I was pasaway, who doesn't listen, who doesn't do her homework and was in the lowest group in the Math groupings! Ha!)

Dawter not only answers her work correctly, she even understands them. Hahaha. Ok, don't laugh but that's important to me. I like to write but correct grammar was not something I had when I was in second grade.

Anyway, only Chinese had us stumped. She got good grades in Chinese last year but I didn't really mind it much since she didn't have a tutor. Now that she has one, I am so happy that her Chinese has improved a lot. By that, I mean she's one of the best in her class (ok, ok, I admit it's the lowest class in Chinese where all the non-Chinese are grouped, still, right?)

And, yesterday... She got an award --- in Chinese!!! Woohoo! Though we don't understand it a bit. It's enough that we know that it's an award for Chinese calligraphy. They awarded it during the assembly. My cheeky daughter told me that her friends were giving her a thumbs down sign. Oh, peer pressure!


Somebody please translate? Hehe

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!
