Today is a very blessed day for me and for the people who have touched my life!

I am so happy for a colleague, a friend (kahit di nya ko friend at kung assuming lang ako na friend nya), for being an SSC Site Manager, her additional role in our company.  Itago natin sa pangalang Jeng (Nerissa Remo Aquino, CPA, CIA, MBA).  Little did she know that she taught me a lot, how to eat California maki..hehe, kidding aside, she taught me how to be discreet about your feelings/thoughts.  Not long time ago, I was so expressive of how I feel and whenever I get a chance to talk with other people, I tend to tell how I feel.  She taught me not to trust everybody easily, it's not that everyone has a bad intention but it's better to be careful in sharing your feelings/thoughts with others.

Congratulations! To the nth power ang happiness ko for you! I know you're looking forward to a better place in a corporate world! This is it pancit! :)

This morning, I was able to interview a candidate for a position of Accountant.  It was nice talking to him, a very young individual with a positive views in life.  I learned that you cannot only learn things from those older than you, it's good to know you learn from the young ones.  Their views are clear!  When your young with less stress (from other responsibilities like mom duties, wife duties etc etc), your energy is too high!  It's contagious! :)

Today is a very positive day! :)

I missed preparing birthday parties for my kids hehe (again, ang OA, parang last December lang naman nag 1st bday ang bunso namin...hehe) (ako ito kaya OA! ok??).  Our kuya Kiel's bday is almost 3 weeks from now and I'm so excited to think about the giveaways for his classmates.  By the way, he will have a bday celebration in school on Oct 2nd instead of Oct 1st.  His bday is on Oct 1st but their exam is scheduled from Sept 30 to Oct 2, so, I asked teacher if it's ok to hold a simple lunch bday celebration for Kiel on Oct 1st or after the exam.  Teacher Joy suggested to hold it on Oct 2nd since they will only take one exam on that day, then, they can party after! hehe (good timing! kids will have some relax time to spend with their classmates after their exam!)

Being a stagemom/OAmom that I am, I asked teacher for the list of Kiel's classmates' names for the giveaways.  I want it to be personalized again which I did last year..(see My Ben10)

Hmmmmmm, I'm thinking of the following giveaways:

1.  Kid's apron with their names on it.  They are using aprons during their art session.  I think it will be useful though they already have it.

2.  Tumbler with their names on it.

3.  Ninjago toy with a gift tag with their names on it.  Ninjago is Kuya Kiel's favorite toy nowadays.  He even carry his toy box with Ninjago wherever he goes, even within the house lang, ganun syang ka-OA parang nanay nya...hehehe

I still have 2-3 weeks to think about it.

We'll just order food from Jollibee and have it delivered to their school and of course! I will be on PTO (vacation leave) on that day to celebrate with them.  Then, I'll just order a bday cake from Goldilocks at Pavilion Mall.  I need to pick it up before lunch time and bring it to the school.

I'm so excited.

Writing this one makes me realized how blessed we are for we can afford to have this kind of celebration in school which my hubby and I never experience during our schooldays.  We are very thankful to our parents who exerted their best effort in sending us to school and did everything for us to finish our studies.  (MMK moment ito! again and again!)  They helped us to reach our dreams and enjoy the life that we have.  Thank you nanay, tatay, mama and papa. :) We love you!

Is it me or ako lang talaga? (gulo ba?)

Hey mommies, I missed blogging.  Lately, I always feel tired, sleepy but I need to be energetic as always (I have two (2) kids who are equally makulit and malikot, san ka pa? kelangan sabayan ang pagka hyper nila, otherwise, mapag iiwanan ako!).  I easily get tired and sometimes or most of the time rather, I have a little patience, I need to control it.  As much as possible, I don't want to be a monster mom again! So help me God!

Now, I really salute all mommies out there, I love my nanay even more when I became a nanay.  Ang hirap pala talaga maging nanay and wife at the same time.  All mommies must always be full of energy (bawal magkasakit!), if the father is the head of the family, I must say mother is the body of the family (the hands, the feet etc. etc.).  For working moms, it's hard to manage our time with our family, work, friends, parents and relatives.  Aside from managing your time on work, you need to manage everybody's businesses. (your wife duties do not stop when you become a mother; it's a never ending duty/obligation!;  you need to have a healthy body so you can do things easily like taking care of your babies, putting them to bed, washing their feeding bottles, assisting them during their study time and help them do their homework, playing with them etc. etc.)

Now that I am not getting any younger, I'm having a hard time dealing with my stress/esessssssss. (dati kasi ang bilis lang I-deal ng stress, lately, parang ang hirap, ang hirap hirap! ramdam nyo? hehe)  I tend not to follow the to do's that I have set.  I think I really deserve a bonggang bonggang me time, yung sobrang walang iniisip, yung ako lang muna talaga, though having "me" time gives me a guilt feeling.  Pero siguro naman I really deserve a very relaxing me time?

Now, is it me or ako lang talaga ang nakakafeel ng ganito? yung tipong, feeling walang time-out ang mommy and wife duties (syempre may iba pang duties....) and bawal magkasakit ang mga mommies kasi walang mag aasikaso sa family, yung feeling na lahat sila ikaw ang kailangan, pano naman yung pangangailangan ko? hehehe (ang drama pero super napapagod lang ako and really need time to relax!)  I can't focus even sa work!

Tomorrow is another day! :)
