Manners Matters

I know I am not a neat freak, but I know its rude to cut nails in public places. Whenever I hear the clipping sounds of a nail cutter, I really look for the person responsible for the disgust on my face. And I've encountered this several times-- in a jeep, inside the MRT, and most shockingly of all, in a restaurant. Can you just imagine, nails flying over the places, jumping to your lap, or worst, the food that you ordered? I remember the one time I experienced it at Wendy's. Mind you, it was one of their staff who was on a break that's been clipping nails.

Sure, sure you were busy all day you forgot to clip your nails, but that's not enough reason. I am a busy person myself and I juggle work and motherhood all day everyday, but I don't cut my nails in public places. If I forget to go have my mani-pedi on weekends, I cut my nails in the bathroom while sitting in my white throne. So, please don't hide your manners. Flaunt it. It's something to be proud of.

kissed for a reason

"Mommy", Lucas whispered.

He kissed my lips. "Mommy"..

I peeked over my phone, it was only 5:30 am.. An hour earlier before my usual wake up time...

Lucas kissed me on my lips and whispered, for the third time, "Mommy"..

So i asked, still with my eyes closed "Yes, baby?" and he said "Mommy, milk."

This is the first time he woke me for milk... and in a manner which seemed like he doesn't really wanna disturb me in my sleep (how thoughtful). Well i prefer this more than being awakened with cries/wails of hunger (HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA), although he really isn't the type. Very fortunate of me. =)

over a cup of coffee and choco sandwich

So, here i am... waiting for another 2 and a half working hours to end. And it feels like a year to get there. Working on saturdays is, needless to say, a bummer. But here's a confession. I started dreading coming to the office on sats since i had Lucas. I have been working on sats, whole day, for 5 years, prior to giving birth, without any complaints. And now, i really am complaining! Because I feel, a day with him is not enough. I want to spend more time with him. I want to be with him often. See him grow. Witness his every milestone. I usually say, working is where i belong. But that was before. And when Lucas came, everything changed. He became my priority. My passion. My reason for living. And every turn of the clock feels like a lifetime. Sigh. I would love to, but I just can't quit my job. Not yet. Someday, I hope... 

..Two and a quarter of an hour more.... =( 

thought for the day

"Sometimes you have to walk away to prove you are worth more"

I can relate. I had experienced this a few weeks ago. I nearly left the company i am working for because i thought i am being taken for granted. That was until my boss and I had a little chat. So I stayed. =)

BUT, be 101% sure that when you plan to walk away, you're ready in case your boss decided you're worthless and just a waste of paycheck at all. =(
