She is B-A-C-K!!

Yes, she came back!!

Due to the past memory of an ex-helper who did not turn up at the airport, most of the people whom I answered to when guardian angel is coming back asks me if I am sure that she will come back.

Evident as it is - she is back - solidly. :)

And when I saw how Thea and her connect once again, it brought tears to my eyes, as much as I am sure did theirs.

She looked tired, and I hope she didn't find it funny that the house is not as clean as she left it! Lols!

Appreciating and loving her deeply...

Less than 14 hours...

In less than 14 hours, she will arrive... and we all can't wait to welcome her back!! Getting back to the old routine is one thing, but to have her presence back in our lives is superb!!

After which, I am going to a massage, for facial, for karaoke, for movie, for dates, for what-ever!!!

Muahahahahahahhahahahaahahhahahaha......

New 'Job'

I've recently taken up a new 'job', as in a function to the centre that I used to volunteer for. What is the difference? More administrative functions, as in more involved in the inner and outter matters of the centre; and that I am somewhat officially financially appreciated monthly.

Initially I was pretty stressed up in wanting to familiarise myself with the various functions the description of the 'job' entails but now that I am getting more and more familiar with what my functions are, it does get easier and somewhat 'serious' also.

Despite that, I observed that I strive on a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. I began to wonder if I could ever stop since hubby has commented that I can be quite a workaholic, despite not having officially worked for years. Workaholic or not, I seem to know when to stop to take a break and that is good news; also thankful to reminders I've received through my emails to pace myself out; I am able to catch a breather, enjoy and appreciate the rainbow created from the sunlight as I water my garden. This reminds me, how unreal everything is - only that I've taken it as real. It is a warm feeling that tickles the heart. :)

Last night when I was watching AOD, the princess mentioned something in the likes that life is a dream. I began to wonder if the people long time ago knew that we were all in the dream, hence the poetic poems of how life is exactly a dream, and that along the way, people forget - hence the drama, the taking of life so so seriously.

Anyway, I am just writing because I feel like it. No message here. Just sharing the little bits of my joy.

Love.

Missing Her

Sighs.. I really miss guardian angel.

I miss her not because of the house chores. I miss her cooking, her walking about, her smile, her grumpiness, her playing with Thea's ipod, her asking me to buy top-up for her... sighs...

Yesterday and today is her wedding day. I don't know why they celebrate weddings over a spread of 2 days. We did ask if we could be there, but I am guessing out of shy-ness and out of consideration for the little one, she said no. She said it would be too far for Thea to travel and the conditions may not be condusive for us knowing how pampered we are! lols!

Sighs.. All of us really do miss her presence. If only she could stay with us, forever... She has brought so much more joy and happiness to our family. I really do appreciate and love her.

Blessing her for the wonderful soul that she is... :)

Finally Bored

I am finally bored of doing housework.

So I texted my SIL and asked her for her maid.

The maid came over.

I am so blessed. :D

Keeping Up!

I've just recently joined the bandwagon and many friends and relatives teased me about it. To be honest, I just wanted one so that I could play Plants Vs Zombies. It is a darn cool game! lols!

But today, I tried out the Maps App and my oh my... it is damn good... I had to go to 2 places of which I didn't know the directions and I arrived there like a pro, with the help of the new, new toy... what a joyous experience!

So grateful for the advancement of technology... so grateful to the evolution of the mind...

But may I not forget still, of Whom is the ultimate Creator of this and all.... :)

Sweet Hubby

He is truly sweet.

Yesterday we both had an early dinner, just me and him while Thea was at painting class, and he said, "Guardian angel coming back on xxx right? hmm... yyy days left before she comes back..."

I laughed at his statement and asked, "why... you miss her already meh.. it has only been 5 days wor..."

And he replied, "no.. I miss you..."

I was stunned. Now, how more romantic could that moment be? Me and him, in a chap-fan (economy rice) shop, each drinking barley ice, each holding a ciggie in the hand... sighs.. romantic, really really romantic...

Of course I understood what he meant. He commented how we hare both been busy with the house chores or taking turns to attend to Thea, work and ourselves since guardian angel's absence. I will have to add that since 5 days ago, I observed that since the notion to wake up to 'do' something, the rest of the day is 'do', 'do', and 'do'. It's like a neverending list of things to do - water the garden, wash the clothes, iron the clothes, wash the dishes, wipe the table, tidy up the table... nothing gets left out. And when left with a moment to rest, it is to the showers, and a little with the tv, in silence...

So the time we really talk is when we get out of the house, especially when Thea is not around.. lols! Now I understand why some housewives find it difficult to relax at home, it is because the mind has recognised home = work. lols!

Having said that, I noticed a difference in both hubby and my approach in this experience while the maid is away. The last time we experienced this was 2 years ago, where the ex-maid went back and never came back. It's like we grew up. There is much maturity, love, wisdom, peace and calmness in our experience. It is truly a blessing. :)

While many others did ask me, if my maid don't come back on the designated date - HOW?? Well, it's fine. I just either move house, or get another maid! Simple as that! I would be blessed with options to choose again, what type of maids I want to experience - cambodian (heard that are darn good cooks), philipinos, taiwanese, sri lankan.. or maybe, just ME! Lols.
