Lazarus tagged me. 15 whatever facts about jho...Not in exact order...

1. On newspapers: I never read the sports section of a newspaper. Philippine Daily Inquirer is the only newspaper that I like to read.

2. I have this habit of touching-pinching my nose.

3. I am not good at remembering birthdates and names. Most of the time, (kind of embarrassing, really) minutes after a person is introduced to me I already forgot his/her name.

4. I’m good at remembering car features and plate numbers.

5. Back in High School, I was mistaken by some schoolmates as Beth Tamayo.

6. I don’t like horror or those action movies. It scares me to watch horror films. Sometimes, I would even dream about it. I don’t like the sight of fight scenes wherein you will see blood being splattered. Ewwww!

7. In contradiction with # 6, I am the family “nurse-doctor”. Even when I am still single. I remember when my younger brother was involved in a motorbike accident. My mother asked me to look at it. I cleaned his wounds (as in wounds) and told them to bring him to the hospital because a cut in his chin needs stitches.

8. I play World of Warcraft. Blame it on my sister and BIL who brought the installer.

9. I am not really good in math. Then how come I graduated with a BSA degree? Matiyaga lang ako sa numbers.

10. The only “make-up” that I put on my face when I’m at the office are the following: Baby powder (J&J) and Lipstick (lip balm, lipstick, lip gloss).

11. I’m afraid of going to any facial care centers. Parang naiiritate yung face ko sa mga pinapahid nila. That of instead of making my face blemish-free, I would suddenly have pimples or would make my facial skin feels rough.

12. I’m not a movie-goer. I would rather buy DVD copies of the movie and watch it for the nth time at home.

13. I walk fast and they say I walk like a duck. My hips sway “that” much.

14. I envy girls with straight, frizz-free hair. I don’t want to go to salon and have my hair relaxed. I did that once and I NEVER wanted to do that again.

15. I am a homebody.

Let the games begin...

Yesterday marks the start of the company's bowling tournament. Every Friday until August 3 will be a very ecstatic day for all of us.

Ten teams, 9 - 10 players each. 7 players will be allowed to play per game (3 games per competition day), only the highest 5 scores will be counted including the score of the female (female score is important... hehehe). Default score is 80 (for those whose score is below 80 and those who were not able to play).

As they always say about our team...The Future Champions!!!!!

I have been assigned to tally the scores and prepare the bulletin and statistics of each player and team. It's a good start for my team. We beat our opponent 5-0.

First day high!

I really got high with my kids' first day at school.



I woke up at around 4:30 am and haven't slept since then. Flag ceremony for my eldest daughter and only son is at 7:00... I have to accompany them first to their respective rooms. Then I went home. AT a little past 12 noon. I then accompanied my youngest to the same school. Since its her first time to attend school, she cried and her adviser allowed me to accompany her for today inside the room.

Now my problem will be the dismissal time. My son (Grade 1) will be dismissed at 2:10, then my eldest (Grade 3) at 2:50. Finally my youngest at 3:20. Supposedly I could pick them all up at 2:00, but a sudden change in the Kinder schedule made me asked for reinforcement from my Mom.

It's a good thing the school is just a stone's throw away from our house. Now we all need to adjust our time. My kids having to wake up early... and I have to wake up earlier... Masasanay din ako.

Drained

As of this writing, I am totally drained. For two straight days I am physically and mentally challenged. All i wanted to do is to lay in my bed and go to sleep. Our yaya went home last Thursday. My mom made plans on the last minute of Thursday evening leaving me no choice but to be on leave from work.

I have to wake up early to prepare breakfast and clean the house. Then while I wait for the meat to get tender, I bathe and clothe the kids. Multi-tasking. Then they ask you the same questions over and over. Or they bug me on what I am reading, on what I am doing. Kakakpagod.

I am not complaining about me taking care of my kids. It's just that when I am at home lahat ng palabas ng mga anak ko, ginagawa nila. I always ask my mom and yaya if they (my kids) are like that when I am at work. They would answer - NO. I guess they are testing my string of patience when it comes to their being pilyo at pilya... They just have to try harder. When it comes to my kids, my patience never runs out.
