Another Name Error

About 3 years ago, when my daughter started going to school as Pre-Nursery at St. Joseph School, I was given a gate pass and when I checked my name, it was Junelle C. Teodosio. Now, that my son is going in the same school, same error was made.

Manila Trip

Fast track on what has happened to me since my last post. I am now actually office free!

It was good while it lasted. Goodbye office folks. Adios la oficina.

I was in Manila for WordCamp Philippines 2009 as a WordPress fanatic. I had a great time with my cousin while I was there. Though, I was only there for 3 days, it was a full 3 days! I remembered, it was my second time traveling to Manila alone.

First day, I arrived in our apartment by 1pm but my home buddies are not yet home. Our neighbors did welcome me, but I am not close to them so I decided to go out and kill time by having a manicure and pedicure. After my nails done, one of my home buddy is already home. He cooked the food I brought for dinner and we ate. My other home buddy arrived at 9pm and we watched a horror movie which I haven’t finished. She laughed at me because she wasn’t scared at all. She thought it was a comedy. DAMN that “Drag Me To Hell.” Why does everyone else thinks it is funny and I thought it was really scary!

Second day, me and my cousin Bevelyn went to the WordCamp Philippines 2009.

After the event, we ate at Teriyaki Boy.

I couldn’t find that here in Iloilo. So, here’s our craziness:

The food was fulfilling.

This was at Greenbelt.

Third day, we went to SM Mall of Asia (MOA) to buy “pasalubong.”

Our favorite, FLOSS at Bread Talk.

After roaming around the mall, we ate at the French Baker.

While waiting for the FLOSS we ordered, we had a Banana Split from Haagen Dazs.

So, after we got our Floss from Bread Talk. My cousin dropped me off at the Airport.

I am now back in Iloilo. A day after my arrival, I had a meeting with Iloilo Bloggers. I always have a good time with those people with great minds.

So busy!

Yesterday, during the IBM V demo, I was able to meet a few bloggers and to mention our Provincial Advisor Mr. Manuel Mejorada, who is updated when it comes to tech than I am.

Today, I will be joining Claire in a meeting with SM.

On the 28th and 29th special IT events.

If you are in Iloilo and wants to know more about SEO, you should attend the Digital Filipino SEO Workshop on September 28, 2009 at Netopia SM City Iloilo, 6 pm to 9 pm.

So, I wonder, if I am still in the office … I don’t know how to manage things in my life. I am so busy and expect more to pile up. I haven’t mentioned some of the events on my schedule, but if you want to be updated on IT events here in Iloilo or events that you could blog, add me on Plurk, Twitter or Facebook, if not then better check for an updated post on Iloilo Bloggers Blog.

Invitation to Jun Hannah’s 5th Birthday

The party theme was supposed to be BRATZ, but recently I let her watch Hannah Montana and she really liked it. So, I made an invitation that is like a concert ticket and attached my daughter’s face to Hannah Montana’s.

I was soo busy for the past few weeks that I ran out of money and wasn’t able to prepare much for the party. Anyway, my Mom did all of that; she bought souvinirs already though I could have picked one that is related to the theme like guitar or microphones for the kids, but she chose stuffed toys. Well, beggars can’t be choosers.

I won’t be able to attend the party of my daughter because I have work that day. I hope she enjoys her day. I’ll be making it up to her when I come back from Manila.

Tired but it has been a fruitful day so far

I went to the City together with my Mom and my daughter but I went back home alone.

What happened? You might ask. 

Simple, we arrived late at a voice lesson of my daughter and it was raining, to add up to that, there is no more parking space close to the area. So, I decided to let my Mom and my daughter go to the school and I’ll just pick them up after 30 minutes. I went back after 30 minutes, but my Mom and my daughter is nowhere to be found, this time I have an area to park, so I went to the school. One of the teachers told me that because they were late, they didn’t continue with the class, so they exit early. I didn’t bring my mobile phone (I do this often), so I have no means of contacting my mother of their whereabouts. For me to not waste my precious time, I went to Robinsons mall and looked for them there, but to no luck. I just headed to CDR King to buy 2 new headsets; one for the office and one at home. I then had my lunch at KFC then went home.

About 5 minutes upon my arrival, my Mom and daughter also arrived.

We weren’t that tired, so we are not pissed at each other. We talked peacefully of what had happened and then proceeded to our daily tasks.

I am currently finishing up some things for my beloved client, so far so good. I think I am gonna do this from now on, rather than waste my time watching TV, I’ll watch TV and do some online tasks as much as I could. 

I enjoy working now, good thing I am in the mood for work.

Retainers and Report Card Day

Hey! I am wearing my retainers again. See:

Today was report card day. So, I went to my Alma Matter in where my daughter studies now. She would be going to the same school next year and hopefully have better grades than what she have now.

See me in my old school:

You’re Fired!

I have been fired more than I should have been today. Regardless, I will still continue to do my duty.

You may ask who fired me? The boss of all the bosses in my house – my daughter. As you may all know, during day time, I am a professional driver, yaya, financer, etc; in short a full time single Mom.

This morning, my daughter had her voice lesson, so I waited for her at the canteen of her school. Her teacher called me because she said, “Nature’s calling.” I got up and assisted my Hannah (my daughter) to the CR. While in the CR, she doesn’t seem to act like she wants to poo or wee, but she was playing with the water. So, I assumed she just wants to play with the water, so I took her out of the CR to go back to her class again. While going out she shouted, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!” I didn’t know where she heard that one, but mostly its a line from the TV, because like me, she loves watching TV. When she got back to her class, she started acting up and told her teacher (She speaks in english better than I do, so she uses it most of the time.), “I can’t do this anymore. I could not sing and dance!” Since it was nearing her time anyway, we got off early.

After her voice class, we then went to her other school that corrects her bad behavior. While in the car, I corrected her because while me and my Mom were talking, she keeps on disturbing. Upon correcting her, she shouted again, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!”

After her behavioral class, we then went to a mall to buy some things needed at home. At the shopping store, there was an ice cream kiosk that sells Php 5.00 for every scoop, which is quite cheap, so I bought one. Hannah was asking for one as well. I said, “You are not allowed to eat ice cream because the doctor prohibits you. You have ashtma, you are hyperactive and you are now caughing, it’s not good for you.” I was eating my ice cream in front of her, so she got angry again and shouted, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!”

There, I got fired more than I think I should have been, and that’s just the story I could remember, but I heard those words more than that today. As I have mentioned, regardless, I will still do my duty as a full time single Mom. I guess my daughter couldn’t fire me. I am the best she could have. That is why God chooses me to have her. Who could top that decission? No one else

To Hannah, if you read this one day, I know you will laugh so hard. You can’t fire me baby, and I won’t ever quit! I love you and your baby brother. Mommy has never been so proud for having the two of you.

My Schedule for the Whole Week

I have mentioned that I am now working on a night shift and so far I am loving it.

I just want to share to you my schedule for the week.  That is just the schedule of the sure things that will happen, however there are times that I would need to adjust because there are things needed to be taken care of that is somehow unplanned.

Things would probably change when classes are over. It’s gonna be summer time and we are planning to go to the beach. We also planned to let Hannah rest from ballet for the summer and enroll her to swimming – this will be good for her ashtma.

Seen my sched? What do you think?

Hannah’s Firt Ballet Show in School

Even though she  became the clown of the show. I am proud of my daughter. She makes people happy

This is what I sacrificed my sleep for. To be with her and her brother. It is all worth it. What’s a sleep if you can’t find happiness in your heart

I used to think I am a bad Momma, but now … I know I am on the right track.

You may be wondering who my daughter is on that video because it is not clear. My daughter is the reason why you could hear the laughter from the audience; the one who’s hair-do went disaster, got angry with the audience and stayed to give an angry face, and the one who told the audience to keep quiet because they were too noisy laughing at her.

Updates on People in My Life

My Mom is shockingly good to me. This morning she told me she bought me 3 shirts, and I am currently wearing one of it. For a week, it is too much goodness from my Mom; First the Tattoo approval and then this? I wonder what has gotten into her.

My daughter was injured yesterday. I fetched her from school after her ballet class and she showed me her middle finger and it was swollen and her nail turned black. I asked my Mom what happened and she told me it happened in the school during her class hours (the morning) and she doesn’t know exactly the details but the teacher told her that Hannah (my daughter) closed the door and her hands was squashed. My poor little girl. The school security told my Mom that the nurses on the clinic had a hard time healing Hannah’s hands because she was crying so hard and they don’t have the strength to make her still. My Mom, would have her hands check by our Pediatrician today, just to be sure everything is okay.

My son had a cough this morning and so my Mom would be bringing him to our Pedia together with his sister. Hopefully when I get home this afternoon, I would receive good news.

My cousins husband won the STL. It was about time since they really need money and he won on the day of his birthday. What are his winning numbers? Simple, his birthdate!

Lastly, I was blog hopping when I saw the blog of a person that I have once argued. (I would name this person “P” and give female sexuality, so that I could explain the situation better.) I was reading the latest post of P when I noticed that she seems to be angry with someone. I read the next post and still, hatred. Read the post after that, and so on. Yes, still filled with hatred. I don’t know what is wrong with her, but she seems to be having problems with people who have higher position than her. May she find peace! I understand her griefs, because she seem to feel that she is better than her manager yet she is not one. Yes, indeed she is intelligent, she could even see grammar errors from her managers note. Maybe she was thinking, how could she be a manager when she cant even write proper english? Well, some just have skills to be one. My thoughts on this? If you think you are better than your manager, then show her what you’ve got. Don’t look at the negative side of things. Always see things possitively. You will always be rewarded for the actions you’ve done. Being bitchy and saying bad things about your manager wont do you any good professionally. Learn to be patient and kind. Say sorry if needed and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be honest in everything you do, and do the best you can. For doing so, you’ll save yourself and would bring you in the path that you wanted. Good Luck!

Emotional Abuse and Driving Lessons

This morning, we had a meeting at Assumption; my alma matter and currently the school of my daughter. The topic is about emotional abuse. I was really touched during the meeting and learned a lot. Sister Fidelis Estrada showed us the story of Antwone Fisher, which made me realize that in every action of a person, there is a deep explanation.

The afternoon, I teach my mother how to drive, because currently we have no driver and I lost my drivers license. My mother have a drivers license but she doesn’t know how to drive. Today, I taught her more on maneuvering; going straight, backing and turning.

Evening, my daughter wanted me to tutor her with the lessons they have in school. As I started teaching her, I noticed she is not listening. I just lost my patience because I just had my MacBook broken again and there she was, asking me to teach her but she does not listen. I throw all the things I could get my hands on, then continue to watch TV. My daughter was in silence. I noticed that she was shaking in fear then eventually cried. I didn’t mind, I was so stoned. I continued watching TV.

I am a Monster Mom and I could be the worst Mom ever. Even though I am like this, I know my kids love me.

I think I needed to straighten up my life, before I could be able to handle this emotions properly.
