it’s the forecast calls again.
I am not complaining. It is good to make my mind exercise a bit–i’ve had my share of slack time.

despite being tired—I can’t stop thinking of Chy’s cake. I hope I could talk to Anne tomorrow after my forecast call. Let me finish my work stuffs first and will most likely call her——cake concepts and the price. I hope i could afford it. Ano vaahhh..para namang debut ni Chy.

hehehhe….

She is turning 6 soon. parang kailan lang—-i know i need a new baby.

and I know am not dreaming.

I am living my dream!

Beautiful life!!! Now, I can forget my toothache and will work from home today!

make me go nuts………

Just over this weekend, she told me these, my gosh..my daughter doesn’t seemed to be a 5 year old.

i know what a butler is- a person who massage your butt

bwahahhaha….LOL!

ma, you are full right? yep, sweetheart ( while trying to start a slice of cream cake), then why are you still eating?

TOINKS…hULI ang katakawan ni mama!

Chy, can you pls press that button please? ( at the traffic light stop), oh, i can’t, that might be too hot!

Ang arte arte…hmmmppp!!!

Thanks to all who took the time to watch the long vid from Chy on her “decorator dream”. Am just in awe that it would be a waste not to share such an accomplishment. Chuck is not very expressive but I can certainly do that part!

One last thing–she wanted to have a movie entitled “Chy-chy in the fab lane!”

whaaaaaat????sabi nya bonggang bongga daw yun! bwahhahahhaha

Milestones from my pretty girl.

She initially wanted to become a teacher at 4, changed to becoming a ballerina teacher as she approached 5 and now, in less than a month, she will be 6 and she can’t stop changin’ her dreams. She wants to become a decorator ( read: interior designer)

My lovely daughter and her dreams.

In her time, she will look at this vid and can’t stop laugh at herself. I am so proud of you.

A gift. If this is not amazing- how would you call this? Thank you Lord!

Chy said last night : Jesus, thank you for keeping us safe in all our flights.

She relates this prayer to a certain show she watch on tv re: documenting plane incidents.

And yes, I thank God for all our safe trips recently. This year, we’ve been flying all over Asia and this August, I am flying back to Sydney. It was supposed to be June, then was moved to July and finally training dates were confirmed in August end.  Perfect timing - after my birthday celebration , my parents are coming to Singapore and I can’t stop thinking of my hair rebond! hahahhahha

For the second time, we watched the film at home and this time—Chy had so many unfathomable questions. I thank God that HE gave me such a wonderful , smart kid. But sometimes, it demands much of my brain. Hhahahhahha…Katakot takot na tanong and never ending. That she had to beg for one last one before I could finally close my eyes. Chuck and I were laughing at her last night when she said, ” One last Please??”. OMG! she has grown so fast, I couldn’t catch up to all the information she had put forth on her brain.
Hahhahaha…am stressed…And to the Mother Award goes to——Me!
Wala syang choice—ako ang nanay nya….

” When I see you smile, I can face the world! ”

I should at least not stress out myself. I have been multitasking these past days wanting to do much in such a short time.

example:
1. Yesterday, I was working from home while doing the laundry. I intended to iron the clothes but I had so much at my hand at work, so , I ended up cleaning & rearranging stuffs. So, instead of a cigar break ( w/c I don’t do anymore for the last 3 years maybe?) , I felt I was efficient. No offence to smoking, my time to quit came early.

2. This morning, i was doing my make up while Chy asked me this - ” Ma, where are you? I have so many questions to you?” and I answered back …” ok, shoot, am doing my make up but am listening to you” and I was smiling at myself. ” What other planets are orbiting EARTH? Why EARTH moves so slow? ” Toinks….why is she complicated?

3. This morning, while opening my outlook- which kinda slow with 260 unread mails stuck in there, I was checking my payslip and my bank account if my salary went in. I have this odd feeling that they will hold my salary this month. Am a lucky girl. And because, I have been very good, i gave myself this special gift of scent.

This I did while I was out for lunch today. Yay!!! On top of this , I stopped by at FOX and got some good deals from FOX kids for Cheyenne.

4. And while doing some transactional work for the second to the last day before the quarter end, I was blogging.

Am such a pathetic multitasker.

Pending on my list;

1. the living room rug- Maybe on 3rd of May.
2. the wii from Joan - pending her decision to approve or disapprove. Pls approve.
3. The Batam view Resort this weekend
4. Magtaud ug kurtina sa among sala
5. Mamalantsa
6. And yeah..an electric oven for the bake bonding Ethel and myself is planning to do
6. i can stop..they’re running on my mind..but have to focus on my job now..Over and Out!

Fresh from the mailbox.

My Advance Mother’s Day Card from Chy.

No amount of job promotion, salary increase, bonus and etc…is equivalent to the joy of getting a card from Chy. I am indeed a very special creation for I am a Mom!

To my mama- I am proud of how you raised me & I love you.

I can’t open the card just yet- I will have to wait for Chy and we open this together. It is good I worked from home today.

ang 1st of May- and my stomach is still bulging. I am yet 52 kgs and there ain’t hope to pull this down. Di bale, there is a way to hide the bel bel off.

So what I have been praying for?

- That God give me the patience to focus on the good things and give other people the benefit of the doubt. Masakit ni sa dughan. But then, there are a lot of wonderful things happening around me that is worth focusing on.
- That God will grant Pem’s desire to work in SG
- That I will make sense to my new job and will enjoy it.
- That Toni’s health will improve.

The guilt feeling doesn’t wears off.
I apologized to Chy for being a bitchy mom to her. I am not supposed to flare up that way. She is just a kid. My God, I apologize. I was too much.

She reminded me that it is almost Mother’s Day and that she is preparing a card for me ( hahahha..it was supposed to be a class secret)

I love you my daughter….I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

on my late posts. Everything is running on my mind, shouting at me —for these events to be written down.

Easter Sunday pool event . Luckily, our place is very close to the public pool and so….nagkasinabot nga manglakaw inag ka alas 5! Here you go! No sun burns. Yahoo…Baon is only chichiria…kay wala naplano…

On another note, Chy is into Science lately. She luvvv her new Science book and got bantam questions over it. Am stressed. Until now, Mathematics is her least priority.

We finally got her photos developed. This is from her Barbie Cam she got from Tita Gracy while we were in Sydney. At nag demand talaga si Chy from tita Gracy. The photos reminded me of lomo photography. I bought her new set of 36 films —-I realized developing films are much pricey than that of digital photos.

She is feeling “Princess” again. She made me promised——-a Cinderella cake on her birthday. Can’t refuse.

Anak, you are so payatot na…We need to revive it Chy. This is the result from her fever 2 weeks ago. Haaayyzzz….
But am fat. And I have finally trimmed my permed hair. It looks healthier now. Am not annoyed of the dry ends any longer.

I suddenly feel that…I needed more facial moisturizer ….ahihihi…

so grown up now. Last night, she became very quirky on the story of Solar System. Fascinated at how other planets have more than 1 moon and the ability to move around the sun. That Earth’s moon is called Luna. We should visit the library one of these days.

She told me - ” Ma, when you look at the map trying to find a treasure and you are able to find it, it is called BRILLIANT”

Thanks to very informative sites to keep her learning new things everyday and Chy thank you for sharing to me your new learnings, am going through my refresher course. Oh yeah, how can I forget, that I wanted to become a pre-school teacher

My cuz Janice is confirmed preggy and got a first glimpse of her baby with a heartbeat. I am so amazed of the miracle of procreation. I can’t stop but get mystified of the magic behind pregnancy and the joy and pains of being a first time mom. Yes, it ain’t easy and it won’t make your life comfortable but there is peace in;

1. feeling a little creature in your tummy. I could still remember how surprised I am seeing my tummy deformed of her movements. It was crazy and beautiful.

2. The first time you see her actually staring at you ( it will take a while after birth)

3. The first time you hold hands

4. the list goes on and on.

I still feel so elated each time my daughter longing to embrace me and cuddle her to bed. Same feeling I share each time I hear she exchanges ” I love you” with her dad. Because I know that in few years time, she won’t be frequently changing I love yous with us.

I still feel astounded of her never-ending queries of the facts of life and sharing the joy with her each time she learns a new skill, a new plant, a dance, a song.

I still feel that I don’t deserve the merit to be her parent.

I still feel that I am not going to be a perfect mom to her.

and I love her so much.

Despite being stubbornly Chy, she is such a wonder girl.

She told me consistently that she wanted to become a ballerina dancer when she grows up.

She is not into ballet now but she really is into dancing. She is my provocative, funny little Chy.

Ang kulit mo!

Am totally surprised of your developments. As Charlene would say , she is btw a 16-year old based in Aussie. ” She is too loud for a 5-year old ”

For some developments.
It is cool to be happy. I am looking forward to something NEW.
wink wink…

NEW means…
need to jog back.
need to work on my waking up time- why is it sooo hard to wake up in the morning.
need to do crunches to get rid of this bulging horrible tummy

Last night, we were viewing our Sydney vids and we laughed over it—especially the part where Chy acted like a dance instructor to the adults to the “Nobody” dance steps. I should be posting that one day so that my friends in Aussie will have a good laugh over it.

I am smiling now. She is such a unique creature—yeah..my daughter.
She has my giggles, laughters, moods , stubbornness, —-
She got my husband’s facial features I believe so.

Chy posed this 1-million worth query. It is hard to answer.

How old is Jesus?
I said I don’t know. Dad said, 2010. Hahhaha…We are all too tired to entertain her and she is too active at 10:30 in the evening.

The other day, she is very curious to know where those small particles came from. Apparently, she watched the evolution of a baby in her Chinese class at school. And she described these small stuffs racing to swim to go to mother’s tummy. Huh…Could I explain to her sexual intercourse? No, so ….I put it very simply.

That small swimming babies came from dada and mama ——and the expected came, ” but how? ” . Alright, it is through marriage that the union come about. Oh..okey, kaya pala may kasal.

The END.
