Janel's Barbie Notebook

Yesterday I asked Janel if I could have her Barbie notebook because I wanted to use it for my expenses notes. She refused. I said it's okay and that I'll just buy a notebook outside. Before going out, my husband asked me to buy spaghetti for her. When I got back home, I was surprised when Janel asked me if I bought a notebook already and I said yes. I told her it's okay if she didn't give me hers because I thought the notebook was her favorite. She started crying and saying "Sorry na mommy." I was confused and didn't exactly know what she was crying about. I just assumed that she wanted to give me her notebook now in exchange for the small one I bought. So I started explaining to her that the small one is not intended for kids her age. We started preparing for bed and she took the Barbie notebook with her upstairs and she didn't stop crying. I told her I wasn't angry . I started pretending to accept the notebook so she would stop crying. I asked her again then ang sabi nya, "Gusto ko lang ibigay sayo yung notebook eh, niloloko lang kita kanina." All that time pala she was worried about not giving the notebook to me. Nakakatuwa lang. So, I just accepted the notebook for real. Sabi ko sa kanya gagamiting ko na lang.

My Chronicles #6

Got a blistering cold from Wednesday until Friday while we were doing Total Solutions during our Training in Dell arrrrgggh. I had a really hard time trying to digest the discussion while experiencing a headache associated with the cold. The next day I just drank a lot of water and took Dolfenal for the headache. Didn't get rid of the cold but it did get rid of the headache which was a big help. Saturday morning after work, I just went straight to the nap room to sleep there for a while. Woke up at about 9:15am. Felt so hungry so I decided to drop in Lifehomes and eat in Mang Inasal however they said that it will take 20 minutes to cook the chicken. Disappointed, I just went to Ever Gotesco instead. Good thing they have Mang Inasal there. After eating, went to shop for a laundry hamper, doll for janel, and drinking containers (for me and janel) then of course bought lunch for my dearies. Went to bed at about 1:30PM, woke up at 7:00pm, ate my dinner then watched Pirates of the Carr...

A Letter for Janel

From the moment I knew you came to life inside my womb until now that you are three I have been loving you unconditionally and will continue to love you until the rest of my life. You are the best thing that ever happened in my life. Without you it is a dull world for me. You became my strength to go on with life. In return, I will be your strength as you grow older, I will protect you, I will be your shoulder to cry on, and most of all your best friend! I just hope and pray that God will give me a life long enough to see you finish your studies, have good friends, fulfill your dreams, fall in or out of love until you see the one for you, to see you marry and finally having kids of your own. I am not the perfect mother, or I may not even be close to perfection as others might say, but God knows how much I try to be perfect in so many ways that I can. I love you so much my little angel! You are my life.. (Just reposting from my website, this was first posted March 28,2009)

My Chronicles #11

So far I'm getting the hang of our tools at work. Still trying to figure out though how I'm gonna lay out my windows. I was able to make a sale this morning at about 3am almost before getting off work. It's true, the sale would just come to you. I was almost thinking of giving up because it seemed that the work can be too challenging considering you still have to callback a customer after a few days to check if they have received what they bought or to update them of the delivery status of an order. Then there is setting up dispatches, arrrgh, but when I did it again it seemed simpler when I already knew what to do. So hopefully I can bear this up to at least 1 year. I also document one my calls that made my day less stressful . A lady at the onset of the call was too happy just by hearing my name. It went like this: Me: Thank you for calling. {},My name is Nellie...How may I help you today? Caller: What? your name is Nellie!? (laughing) That is my favorite name in the worl...
