Growth

I was giving my daughter a Bath the other day and I was surprised by what I found out!
She is much taller now, I don't know why is it that I didn't notice her growth, but the last time I gave her a bath that was 5 days ago she was just halfway through my belly, now she levels up to my breasts, isn't it weird or I just didn't take notice of her growth? or mostly because I seldom gave her a bath, She was so independent that she takes a bath herself.

I was so amazed how tall she grew for the last few days, she is way taller than most kids her age.
I hope she continues to grow, because I am afraid that her growth would slow down during the growth gap years, I guess that's between 6-10 years old, and she is 5 now so that's only a year away, I only have a year to maximize her growth before the growth gap years..but I am glad that she is growing the way I wanted her to be...AMAZING!!

Election Day...

A very tiring day that was...Yesterday was our first automated election day,people all over the country were so excited to vote since this is the first time that we would experience the automated election.It would be faster this time, thus they call it automated...
We went to the polling precinct around noon and we look for our designated precinct numbers, only to be surprised that the line was too long...way too loooooong!
I went in to get a priority number that was 746, can you imagine that?.. I was #746 and they are calling 250!.., anyways I am thinking and hoping that it would just take maybe 2 hours or less, I am fine with that since I was there about noon and others were there early morning, so that should be, since it is on a first come first serve basis...
So I waited there, waiting for my turn..but it is almost 3 hours and I am still waiting...I am thinking of not voting anymore, but I said to myself, I wanted change so I have to vote...My one vote would bring a big change in my country..(hoping it does).To summarize it all I was able to vote at around 7pm in the evening..

If I have a choice I would prefer the old way of voting, in this new process, votes are automatically counted but as a voter it was very tiring....whew! glad it was over...

I was a little bit disappointed by the way it was implemented...hoping that it will be much faster and more systematic next time...see you next time!

Mother's Day gift

When I went home from work yesterday, I am so tired that even I am still on my way I am thinking of my bed..sooo sleepy..but I am so disappointed to see the house so cluttered and the floor is so dirty...
I need to clean the house and I only have 3 hours before dinner time and i had to prepare dinner, so there is no room for sleeping(sigh!)..plus I need to put maye to sleep, she needs it for her growth, event though she is now 5years old.
To make the story short, I end up cleaning the house and did a little laundry..
I was washing the dishes when maye asked me "Ma , is today Mother's Day?"..
I said, "no it will be a few days from now..
"Ah, okay" she replied...
I was wondering how did she hear about that, I guess from the television....
After a few minutes, she went back to me and said
"Ma, Happy Mother's Day in Advance" and hugged me...
I was speechless, I was so touched, tears fell from my eyes and I hugged her tight,and I whispered "thank you"...
when she saw the tears, she was asking if I am crying and I said
"No, there is just something in my eyes"..she said "I'll blow it away for you because it's mothers day".. Oh,my sweet little one
That is the most wonderful gift I have for mother's day..A greeting full of love from my 5 year old daughter.

I was so tired when I went home but with that simple greeting, I felt like there is so much energy in me that I can do all the household chores...^_^

It is a Wonder how my child makes me happy in such a simple gesture of LOVE!!

Thank GOD for her!
