World Pyro 2008

last saturday, we were in MOA. my mom was able to reserve really good seats for us at the highland steakhouse. and they were really good seats coz it was outside directly facing where the fireworks are. imagine? eating your steak while looking at the fireworks. it was awesome! felt like a kid again just looking up at the fireworks with ooohhs-ahhhs. that day, it was france and japan and that day, it rained! complete with lightning and thunder! see? ayaw magpatalo ni God. he also wanted to join in the fun of fireworks and made one Himself.

another milestone

bebe said his first words... you know i'm not really sure now if it's really his first words coz i'm not at home all the time. who knows?? he might have already said mama without me or his yaya hearing it. but i heard it yesterday! he said memem. hahaha!! close enough!

and he's starting to crawl! he pushes his butt out to move forward. imagine a moving worm. hehehe... it's just so amazing! he just learns this all by himself coz we don't really teach him that. babies really have instinct.

2 front teeth

hehehe... my bebe is growing his 2 front teeth but it's on the lower part. so cute! that's why he gets so cranky easily. we're trying to get him to slurp on some soup or fruit extract, and he really seems to like it. his expression is so priceless! he looks like he's liking but but he'll grimace in the end. hehehe... tapos he knows na when to cry!!! aba! when i take away his toys, he cries out loud like he's hungry! kaya marunong na talaga ang bebeko. i just laugh at him... poor baby. cries his head out while mom is laughing. hehehe! just such a joy! he loves to stand up (stretches out his body and cries out when we don't push him up), he loves to be surprised (can giggle out loud na! especially to his yaya), loves different sounds - vroom-vroom, WAH, he giggles out loud when i tickle him on his tummy sides and his underarms, he loves to play with my cellphone and the remote control (hmmm... may kalaban na kami sa remote! hehehe), he loves his pagong, he gets easily bored with his teethers, he can now be left in his stroller (before he doesn't want to be left there instead he wants to be carried while malling), according to yaya, he already knows what "labas" means and gets super excited when he hears it coz he knows he's going outside with yaya. you know he's excited when he jumps up and down (yes, he jumps... but not on his own)...

hay.. i can drone on and on. but i need to get back to work. later uli, bebe!

unmotivation

Feel so unmotivated. I want to give her feedback to learn how to completely delegate. I mean here she is giving me all that speech that I need to step up to my PSG level here in EBS, that she's gonna give me some coordinating roles so that I could have that opportunity. So I get all excited and riled up with it… somehow giving me motivation and confirmationt that I did the right thing of transferring. But then where's the follow through?? I did what I had to do.. I was ready to present what I found out… but she didn't even give me the chance… then she goes off throwing all sorts of instructions on what to do next??? What the hell was the assignment for?? Even ana who I think is equally competent can't even make her own strategy on what to do??? Hello??? I'm just so mad and disappointed! It's so unstructured! I'm not used to this. I used to be a TL for goodness sake and I definitely was doing better than her in handling people…. To think that I'm reporting to her. That's why I feel so unutilized here. I can do so much but I'm stuck waiting and waiting for tickets, for users to have error, for "further instructions". Hay naku, I don't want to live like this. Let me just wait for R3 so that I'll get challenged again then I'm outta here! AARRGG! I want to give her that feedback but I just feel that it's gonna create some sort of tension between us? But oh well, I'll certainly try!

small things that make the day :)

Just saw Jeff, my old customer in Finance. Well, I felt more like he was my boss coz he was so well-versed with what is happening to the team. I guess he just has that aura that makes me so glad to see him again. :) hmm come to think of it, he's more of a grandpa image… hehehe, I'm sure he's not really gonna like this image I've conjured up for him. He kept saying how proud he was of me, of what I have accomplished in intercompany. See?? How nice. Someone who truly and sincerely appreciates the good job I did in intercompany. I've gotten some positive feedback before on this but coming from Jeff, it really means a lot. I have really been proud of what I did with intercompany, but it gets compounded more when someone like Jeff still remembers it until now… months-months after it. It was so weird coz I kept touching his arm and saying how great it was to see him again. Hmmm.. Now I'm beginning to think if he was thinking "sexual harassment, sexual harassment" during that time! Hehehe… you know how americans are such big on that. But I feel that he's such a filipino at heart. :)
