Mommy’s fear

This post is actually a sequel to another post that I have yet to type. I just had to let it out now so I can stop thinking about it. Not really sure about that, but at least I’m sure writing about it will help.

My morning yesterday was somewhat disastrous: I left my mobile phone at home then my ID with all my keys in the car. I managed to move on a little by indulging with McDonald’s breakfast, which I haven’t done for how long, I can’t remember. (The price that I pay for the food seemed too high for me).

It was Therese and I who went to Mcdo for breakfast. On our way, our topic is my drama queen in the making. Yep, you’re right, I’m talking about Ayex. She’s really a bright and talented little girl that at 17 months, she’s so good at acting up every time she doesn’t get what she wants. No, don’t put all the blame to me if she’s becoming a spoiled brat. Blame me partially because I’m not there to raise her with my own parenting style. What are my choices?

I told Therese that my fear is, what if one day Ayex will no longer be as clingy to me as she is now because she know that MIL is always by side as her kakampi. Therese said that it’s a good thing I am breastfeeding Ayex or else, my fear could have happened long before. She has a point in that. The only thing that differentiates MIL and me is that, I’m the own breastfeeding her. That’s the only thing MIL CAN’T DO.

Fast forwarding this entry.

We arrived home early. As soon as we stopped by our gate, I heard Ayex’s loud cry. I immediately went off the car and see what happened. I saw my brother handing Ayex to MIL. It turned out that she just woke up from sleep. She should still be sleeping but the sound of the car and the barking dogs woke her up.

I tried getting her from MIL and it all started from there. She refused to go to me. She looked at me and then she rested her head again to MIL’s shoulder. If I was emotional that time, I could have cried and left the house off to nowhere. I tried again to get her for the second time, she still refused but I insisted to get her to give her a ride in the car. She still cried even in my arms. She only stopped crying when we’re already outside the house, ready to ride the car.

Fast forwarding this entry once more.

This morning, when she woke up, we went outside our room. Guess to whom she went. You got it right, DARN IT!

If you’re thinking that I’m just a jealous mom, maybe you’re right. Besides, isn’t your daughter should be closer to you than anybody else?

Celebrating 110 years of independence

Today, we are celebrating 110 years of independence from being a Spaniards’ colony. Congrats to my fellow Filipinos! How come it seems that this day is so ordinary?

For one, I think because it’s not a holiday, unlike the previous years. Next, do you really feel the independence?

I know, I have lots of time because this work of mine don’t seem to fit me right, so here I am again, ready to rant! Hahahaha! Kidding aside. It’s just that there are times that I still feel that we are slaves, by whom or by what, I don’t really know. Perhaps we are slaves of poverty and corrupt government officials.

I, myself, is a slave of my lack of guts to pursue what I really want to do in this so-called career. (I’ll blog about that in a separate entry). Maybe because I’m not really sure what I want. Let me try to justify this post by defining what slave is.

From google:

a person who is owned by someone
someone who works as hard as a slave
work very hard, like a slave
someone entirely dominated by some influence or person; “a slave to fashion”; “a slave to cocaine”; “his mother was his abject slave”

From the definitions above, I think I’m partially right. What do you think?

On Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad

Last Satuday on our way home from the mall, my dad and my brother were talking about how talkative the Filipino anchors who were covering the NBA finals namely: Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad. They said that these two were so talkative during the game 1 of the series that they somewhat narrated the whole game! I commented that I agree with them about Quinito because as far as I’m concerned, he’s just so talkative for a guy. However, I disagreed with them about Chino because I think he is not as talkative as Quinito. I was wrong!

I was able to watch the second game of the best of seven finals series and I must say, the entire was just too lame that it made me so bored! The referees’ calls were either inappropriate or delayed. The players of LA Lakers seemed to be not in the proper condition specially Kobe Bryant. And to top it all, Quinito and Chino were so noisy at the background! Their comments on the game are never ending! That’s not all, they even said things on air that to me are very improper like things about Chino’s wife’s birthday that he wasn’t able to attend because he covering the series and a mention of his Americanas’ (American style coat) sponsors! Yuck! Publicity! The worst comment I heard from these two came from I think Quinito (please correct me if I’m wrong). He joked about Leon Powe and something about the Poe clan (yes, the late Fernando Poe’s family)! Such a corny joke that even Chino Trinidad wasn’t able to get! Ugggghh!
