365 Awesome Moment #2

While most companies (like Daddy’s) started their year today, the big boss was nice enough to give us a time to do little errands or make last minute “family bonding time.”  Since daddy had to go to work early today, I promised him last night that I’m going to prepare his brekky this time. He laughed as I had a lot of days to do this but I always end up waking up late.  This morning, I managed to wake up Sofi, too.  While, I prepare our coffees and Milo, I glanced at them sitting beside each other blankly staring at the wall *Kyooot!* I know they’re both sleepy but are trying to make most of the time left.

Dad bought the salad he was fantasizing a few months back at the grocery after Church.  To make his meal complete, I packed him Christmas ham slices and 5 “Pinoy Tasty” slices.  I forgot about the cheese but I hoped it’s ok with him.  I inserted a short note inside his lunch box 

After he left, Sofi and I spent time together.  She was getting cranky by 11.30 so I brought her back to the room so she can catch up some sleep.  Right now, Sofi and I are having movie time while blogging.

Life is Awesome!

Awesome Moment #12

there's much to write about recently but i couldn't find time to blog about them. in days like this when you've had too much sleep in the afternoon, you find the perfect opportunity to blog only to realize you've forgot most of them.

Sofi wore her PE shirt and jogging pants today.  The sight of her in PE outfit is so cute. I saw her when they fetched me this afternoon and she haven't change to her home clothes.  Even if her shirt was smeared with chocolate and her face was all covered with brown stuff, she still looked like a baby pretending to be an adult.

But the most awesome thing for me today is realizing:

how much my daughter loves me

i was in crying in pain this afternoon.  I'm having my hyperacidity attack alongside a splitting, fast-beating headache.   Jaims left today but he reminded Sofi to take care of mommy.  Anyway I cued Mr. Bean in YouTube and for two hours Sofia did her best not to bother me.  I only remember her curling up to me after hearing a thunder roar.  When I started to talk she told me that Missy doesn't have battery anymore.  I plugged Missy and slept again.  When I woke up, I went to the washroom to vomit.  I was crying right after because the pain doesn't want to go away.  She went beside me and gave me a hug.  Afterwhich she asked me why i was asked crying.

That instant, I felt a hundred times better.

And then she opened her milkbox and found an old medicine, she said: "ay kaya, di mo kse nidri-drink yung medicine mo, uminom ka nga!"

Awesome Moment #9

I was asked to read one line from the Prayers of the Faithful part of our missioning mass this afternoon.  I thought that was cool, since not all has the chance to become a reader.  I think the last time I read a line for a mass was 5 years ago. But after the mass I receive an extremely Awesome News.

P5,000.00 SM gift checque for all those present during that mass.

Working for XS has really been a blessing since Day 1.  I know I'm pitted most of the time to hungry crocs but the way XS pays me back is incomparable.  Father Johnny has surprised us several times with extra something and giving something today is uber way out of what was expected. I love XS. I love Father Johnny.

Awesome Moment #7 and #8

no sense in splitting the articles. i'm too tired to create two separate articles today.  thursday seemed like two fridays put together, it's just so tiring.

AM #7 Krispy Kreme

who wouldn't like Krispy Kreme's original glazed -- the slight melting of each crumb inside your mouth is heaven in itself.  Pair it with hot coffee in a rainy afternoon is a bliss.  never mind if Sofi didn't even have a bite :( Krispy Kreme deserves a spot in my 365 Awesome Moments.

AM#8: Bulletin boards put up in an hour when you have the entire summer to do it.

Most of the time, anything finished in the nick of time turns better than what was actually planned.  I have put up several BBs in the past, most of which where done in haste during last minute preps, but needless to say, have turned heads.  i love how my first GS library bulletin board ended up today.  Who would have thought that book jackets will work as a nice BB backdrop.  I even placed more on my glassed panel.  We're still putting up 2 more tomorrow, and I just wish they'll end up perfect.

Awesome Moment #6

Since schools have started this week for some, traffic is horrible. My usual 30-45 minute travel is now converted to 60+ minutes. I sometimes go home hungry and that's okay but with the new travel time i have to grab something before going home, less i want my intestines to fight with each other. Today, it's exciting to find out

that the leftover food you feasted on a few days back is still inside the refrigerator and still has its same good ol' taste you enjoyed.

Jaims brought home chicken lasagna from the wedding he attended last Saturday. I got to taste it last Sunday and it was really good. Yesterday, I ate Spaghetti when I got home but i remember seeing the lasagna still inside the fridge. When I got home I made Sofi milk, and prayed hard that the leftover is still there. And it was there, as if waiting for me all along. I heated it using our microwave oven, sniffed it if it smells funny and gobbled it up. While I was thinking of my Awesome Moment and I was on my last spoonful (forkful?), I realized the leftover needs to be captured.

Awesome Moment #4

finding that another store has the stuff you wanted all along

last thursday, i went straight to Megamall after work (see June 3 post) while roaming I saw a nice bag. i've been looking for a handbag this past few days to kick off a new school year but i always end up not finding what i really like.  More than the style, it's the price that hinders me from buying something.  Last time, I saw a Secosana bag on a sale but i felt that the 600 php is too expensive for a bag.  I didn't buy it.  But when I got home I realized I like it.  The following week, just 3 days apart, I went back to get it but it was no longer there.  I was hoping it's still there but with a regular price but i failed to see it.  I told neri and MC about it and they were laughing at my stinginess.  They advised me that if i find something i like i should get it.  P600.00 isn't bad a price for a nice handbag.

So when I saw the bag last thursday, I went back to Jaims to ask for our leftover GC who was in Building A.  He kept it since he was the last one who purchased something from hypermart.  He said he left it at home. I thought what the heck I'll just come back for it.  When I got hold of my GC I waited for Saturday to come.  Tracking back to Saturday's post, we all know we didn't get the bag.  Since it wasn't there anymore.  I texted Neri and she was laughing at me big time.  she advised me to get another bag even if it's expensive already but when you have that feeling of not getting what you wanted, everything else does not appeal to your liking.  Good thing Awesome Moment#3 happened or I would have cried over a "lost" bag.

when Jaims and I were planning our Sunday, going to the mall was part of it.  He initially wanted to go to Market! MArket! but since I have GC and I have a plan of using it to buy my bag, I insisted on going to another SM -- SM Marikina.  When I got there I went straight to the bag section and found what I was looking for.  I told the saleslady to hold it for a while so I can go around (in search for a cheaper bag) and ended up buying that exact bag I wanted 3 days ago.  The brand is Jovanni (not too familiar as it's my first time to see the brand in SM also).  In a way, I told the saleslady my story and she said that they only hold 2 stocks for each style in each store.  I felt lucky that I still found one.  My plan was to look for another bag/style/brand.  To me finding that same bag is near impossible, but I did.

*NOTE: this entry was delayed in posting because I couldn't resist family time. I tried continuing the post when I woke up but I might get late for work so I stopped.  Thank God for lunch breaks :) picture to follow

Awesome Moment #2

Before I  completely forget, have you ever experienced arriving in a meeting really late but still being able to answer a question as if you've been there the first second of the meeting? today i felt that way.  although there was no question literally thrown at me, everyone was surprised when i was able to tell them the name of the form they were talking about even if i have just arrived. i know it's very shallow but i felt triumphant at that instant.  even if people were looking at you because you came in late, that whole instant justifies your lateness.  that's my awesome moment #2 :

able to answer an instant question despite being late for that meeting

Awesome Moment #1

That instant feeling of having hope.

Despite not being able to finish what was on my to-do-list last week because of the several parent orientations i have attended and one newbie orientation i have conducted, top that with subordinates who love "to make your day",  Papa Jesus made me smile today.

Jaims made me go straight to Megamall afterwork because he needed to do something for his boss and Sofi was with him.  When I got to where they are, he pointed to me his friend way-way back 90s.  So i went across to say hi and so did Jaims.  The conversation led to houses and how lucky their brother was to have acquired a 3-floor-property somewhere Proj.4 for 2M only.  It's a good catch considering Proj.4 is somewhat commercial.  Then Mylene told us that she has an aunt who's selling her house in Antipolo.  The lot is big and the house is in placed already.  The old lady is selling her house because no one lives there anymore.

I had that instant feeling of happiness and giddiness when I heard of it.  We were thinking that maybe Kiko and Mylene are the answers to our prayers. And that God sent them our way today to bring us good news.  Of course nothing is final yet but that feeling was surely awesome.

365 Awesome Moments

Inspired by the blog 1000 Awesome Things as posted in Wordpress success story, I'm committed to finding God each day in my life.  Been having terrible downing experience lately and that post made me realize how many little things are left backstage.  I decided that however bad my day is there is at least one thing good that happen to me everyday -- thus, I am making an effort to create a daily entry called 365 Awesome Moments.

Launching this took a while since I'm not sure how committed I can be in creating a daily entry.  I originally intended to blog about this when the post came out but I'm kinda skeptic in my ability to blog each day of the year.  So I told myself, I'll blog about it starting June 1 but i failed again.  Now I'm  making sure this project get launched tonight.  Forgive me, if I happen to forget one entry, I'll try to make up for it the soonest I can -- that is if i can remember everything that happened to me.

oops, can i just launch tonight and declare tomorrow as day 1?
