Sana Nga Pahinga Lang...

Time check 10:39 PM. I am still waiting for Daddy A to arrive from work. He had an audit to attend to and right now he's on his way home. Hinatid pa nya kasi mga auditors sa drop point nila. Actually, 4:30 AM palang umalis na sya dito sa bahay so he can fetch them at 7:00AM. Kaya ako nagcommute na lang to work.

Honestly, I hate commuting. Ang dami kasing sakay from here to work. 4 na sakay lang naman and approximate travel time is 1-2 hours. Umaga palang pagod ka na. Mabuti na lang may kumare ako na pwedeng masabayan para makatawid sa kabilang side at makaless ng isang sakay.

Times like this, I wish our home is just near our work place. This way, we don't need to wake up early and we don't need to hire a helper . We can just get a school service for Matthew to drop and fetch him to school. 

Just thinking of this daily routine napapagod na ko. Nakakasawa na din. How I wish Marcelo Santos III is right. Sana nga pahinga lang ang katapat.

Ang dami ko din pending post and photos to edit. I feel really exhausted right now. Naghahalo na kasi emosyon ko. Nagtatalo na utak at puso ko. I am pressured. In short, I am full of negative feelings. I don't know if taking a rest or break is the answer. Pero sana nga pahinga lang ang katapat nito.

But I know in the end, God will guide and help us decide. And come what may, I'll trust Him with all my heart. Teka, I will not end this post negatively because I had this funny conversation with Matthew again just this morning.

Since I had to commute to work, I had to leave our home much earlier than usual. I was rushing and told Matthew I will be late na, nakakahiya kasi makikisabay lang ako. Then he replied, "Mommy bakit ka po mahihiya e Maam ka naman nila."

Aw! Kahit nagmamadali I had to explain to him na hindi porke ikaw ang boss you have the right to make people wait. You have to be a good example being a leader not just a boss.

Ayun lang, funny but meaningful conversation. I just hope he understand what I want to teach him. o sha, I have to take a rest. Hoping tomorrow I will feel better.

Our Smart and Funny Boy

Our little boy will turn 7 in 3 days. As he grows older, this little boy grows smarter as well.

He's very smart and funny. There's no dull moment when you're with him. Like one time when we were about to sleep. We were conversing about parents who beats their children.

Matt: Mommy, kapag po nagmamaltrato ng anak mga magulang hindi po ba dinidisplina lang sila?
Me: Hindi naman anak maltrato. Yung nagmamaltrato madalas wala sila sa sarili o nakadroga,
Matt: E dati po ba nakadroga kayo?
Me: (Nagulat at nanlaki mata) Anak, hindi kita minamaltrato ha. Ang pagmamaltrato yun hindi pinapakain, sinasaktan ng walang dahilan. Ganun...
Matt: A ganun po ba. Dinisiplina nyo lang po ako hindi ba?

Whew! Tumango na lang ako baka kung saan pa umabot usapan namin e. Hehe. Seriously, this boy is very smart that he equates everything he sees. He tries to find reasons e. I admit, we hurt him several times because he did something very very wrong. But he thinks pala minamaltrato sya that's why I always tell him, hurting him is always the last thing we want to do. He's smart so I think he understands.

Next naman since malapit na birthday nya we were talking about cakes one morning.

Me: Naku wala ka pang cake sa birthday party mo sa McDo a.
Matt: Bili na lang tayo sa Red Ribbon mommy,
Me: Okay na syo sa Red Ribbon ha?
Matt: Opo.
Me: Dapat lang kasi kami noon wala naman kaming cake. Kaya dapat thankful ka lagi at nakakapagcelebrate ka ng birthday na may handa at cake pa.
Matt: Ah... Kaya po kayo noon hindi kayo nag-te-thank you kasi wala naman kayong cake noon at handa e.

Haha. Dad and I were at awe. See he always equates things e. That's why we always need to explain things to him. He's very  good in reasoning e. Hehe. Actually, marami pa yang funny conversation namin. Minsan gusto ko na himatayin sa mga sinasabi nya.

Next time isusulat ko na agad-agad tiyak maaliw din kayo. Oh, I'll be posting the first of his three birthday celebrations that happened at McDonald's last Sunday. Edit-edit muna ng mga pictures.

Have a great week ahead.

Matthew ang Batang Madaldal

Everyday I am surprise with how Matt become so talkative and he will repeat all your words and he will respond to your questions na.

Like one night, I asked him:

Mom: Matt loves mommy?

Matt: Loves

Then he hugged me tight. So sweet right.

---

One late afternoon naman...

Ate Salie: Matt ano expression ni Daddy? (Matt, what is the expression of Daddy?)

Matt: Ngik! (then laugh)

Ate Salie: Si Mommy?

Matt: Ano ba yan! (What is that????Lol)

Ate Salie: Si Tita

Matt: My God!

Ate Salie: Si Matt Matt?

Matt: My God!

Haha. Ate Salie even told us that our neighbors were amazed how this 23-month old can speak and memorize all of these. Matt is easy to be taught as in, you can teach him once then he will remember that na. I am thinking of enrolling him to play class but the schools near us is not offering that yet so I have to wait until he is 3. Anyways, he is still young and we are already teaching him naman.

More of funny kwento about Matt next time.
