Domestic Day

Remember my post about my houseband? He is still a houseband until now. He takes care of the little girl on weekdays and works when she’s asleep. I on the otherhand take care of everything else on weekends. Today is another domestic day for me.

Contrary to what we usually do on weekends, which is to sleep as long as we want to, I woke up at 7am. I tried my best to sneak out of the bed to keep the little girl sleeping with Mon so I can take care of the over-flowing dirty clothes in our hamper. I wasn’t successful. Before I opened the door, she shouted Mommy, dede!. I had to go back and tell her that it is time for mommy to wash the clothes. She kept on saying washing? washing?. We ended up having her with me in our dirty kitchen, playing with water and bubbles.

I juggle between baby-sitting Ayex, feeding her and doing the laundry. I got several calls from my parents asking me what time we’ll be in their place for my sister’s birthday. I was already feeling exhausted and irritated at the same time. I wanted to finish the laundry early but there are too many distractions.

By 12 noon, I’m finally done. My back hurts really badly and my head is spinning a bit. We still had to get some diaper stocks from my supplier before heading to Las Pinas because apparently, we had to restock some items. Whew!

It was late afternoon when I thought of calling a home service massage. Good thing everyone was home and Ayex has a lot of playmates. I was able to get the reward I badly needed for months!

A Greeting for Mommies

On this special day for us, let me greet you through this.

Old Stuff

I admit, I used to be a pack rat. Ok, let me correct that, I still am but at a different level and perspective.

When I was in the later years of grade schooling, I started keeping little notes my friends write me in those nice scented stationery. When I entered high school, I collected test papers, notes and retreat letters. The test papers, I kept them because my siblings also went to the same school. Chances are, the teachers will be the same and so the exams. By the way, I only kept the test papers for quarterly exams and not all the test papers I have. For the retreat letters, i have tons of them! Imagine, in 4 years, there will be 4 retreats per class. Per class, there is a maximum of 50 students. Per retreat, I receive about 40-60 letters, from my classmates and from my friends. Compute that! Hahaha!

Now that I’m a grown up and is already working, my collection also evolved. From clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, other big and small things, and even text messages, I collect them all!

I recall, there was one time Mon is playing games on my phone. He probably checked its Inbox and found too many old messages, mostly conversations and quotes. He started complaining that the reason why mobile phone is so slow because it has too many messages in it. That’s the way I am. I always keep a number of quotes in my Inbox because when I’m bored and can’t do anything else to do to ease my boredom, I read my messages over and over again. Other than that, I personally believe in those quotes, they have an impact on me, something like that. Now, the oldest message in my phone is a quote and it goes like this:

“If there is one mistake in your whole lifetime that you can tolerate, it is when you are kind even to those who are undeserved.”

My friend, Dhang, is the one who sent that to me on 10/21/07 7:47am.
