Madness

Dana's recognition got moved to the 31st. My daughter as expected was bummed about it. She was anticipating that moment of receiving her honors. Well...just a few days of waiting time won't hurt. Told her I would just be treating her out....she wants the works.  Like men, if you give an inch they'd want the whole 9 yards...lol.

Leila's recognition in any case went well. Aside from the speaker who I might say is a stupid bloke. The speaker is an alumni holding a high position in the John Hay Corporation. He was comparing the prices of tuitions of my kids school to other schools in our city. One of his sentences goes: "YMCA is a school that harbors good competition with regards to prices because it gives out quality education at a less costly cost."  Hungggh!! That physically hurt my ears not only my intellect.

The hubby and I were laughing our asses off when he tried to compare teachers to talent managers. Not satisfied with that he compared them to turtles and frog too.  Not a good analogy....even with kindergartens as his audience. Are we so hard up with intelligent speakers that we have to just bear with the ignorance and stupidity of our said leaders?

My mom would have a heart attack if she finds out her beloved granddaughter is studying in that school.

My daughter got her just reward for being good. She got honors and a best in math ribbon. I went up for the first...pinned the ribbon on her and smiled with eyes abnormally squinting (I just got from a graveyard shift again). My daughter signalled to me that she wants her "tatay"  to come up for her next ribbon which was surprisingly on the math thingy. Onell went up posed like a hunkie on the ramp and proudly pinned that ribbon on our daughter.

Both of us seemed dazed. Me with lack of sleep and him with his daughter getting an award for Math.

Looking forward to my eldests' recognition rites.

Dana is my eldest daughter. She was the littlest angel when she entered this world. She weighed 4.2 lbs. My friends had a fun time joking me about the experience that I had when I gave birth to this little one.

Not knowing that I was in labor, I climbed up the steep steps going up to Lourdes Grotto in Baguio City. For a weird moment I just wanted to count the stairs...dont ask me why. While walking up I was pigging out on sweet corn and pepsi....or pipse as the local vendor pronounce it.

Early into the evening body pains assailed me....no specific area...the pain was numbing. I was rushed into the hospital by my husbands bestfriend. Doctors was asking him lotsa questions...first was if he was my husband....terrified...the idiot answered that he was just a concerned citizen.

I remembered people wearing green masks and green robes. Stupidly mumbling to my mom that I know that the Ninja Turtles are only four and asking why I am seeing double. My mom laughed and said all of em were just attendants....none of which are members of the infamous Ninja turtles. DARN!!! And I so wanted autographs.

After 30 minutes of giving birth I was up and checking my kids' fingers toes and the rest of her body. Wondering how a tiny baby full of life came from me. I checked for abnormalities....there was none. Thankfully the Lord has blessed me....and blessed me well.

Right now Dana, my little angel is a seven year old active child. Wonders of wonders...she is also gifted with intelligence and independence beyond her years.

My kid could spell out rendezvous (is that right?) without batting an eyelash and would anticipate an exam with a fervor not on my genes. lolzzzz.

Right now I could not believe that a life and personality like she has now has been molded into shape by me. I just hope that I am doing the right thing in rearing her up. Hopefully she will grow up to be a self-reliant, independent and successful lady who will also have a wonderful family life.
