Ako ba si superwoman?







Ako ba si superwoman?

Kung ako nga si Superwoman, bakit walang nakakaalam?



Bakit walang nakakaramdam?
Kulang and bente-kuwatro oras sa akin.
Isipin mo kung paano ko nakakaya ang lahat ng ito:
Trabaho mula alas onse ng umaga hanggang ala-sais ng gabi.
Trabaho uli sa iba mula ala-sais hanggang alas-nuebe ng gabi.
Halos alas-diyes na pagdating ko sa bahay.
Gising pa si Dani.
Karga.
Laro.
Pagngiti kasabay ng matamis na ngiti ng anghel na si Dani.
Hapunan kapag di na umiiyak at kung may ibang kakarga kay Dani.
Karga uli.
Hugas ng mga bote, linis nang konti, at laba ng isusuot ko at ni Stef sa paaralan.
Bago matapos ang lahat, alas dos na ng madaling-araw.
Maliligo.
Kapag tulog na si Dani, suwerte, makakatulog na rin ako.
Kung gising pa, kailangan karga ulit.
Aabutin ng hanggang alas-tres.
Ala-singko, magugutom si Dani.
Gatas ulit.
Ala-sais naman, gigisingin ko na si Stef para makapaghanda pagpasok sa eskwela.
Init ng tubig pampaligo, maghahanda ng almusal.
Plantsa ng isusuot.
Aayusan ng buhok si Stef.
Alas-siyete darating ang traysikel na maghahatid kay stef sa eskwela.
Si Dani, gising pa rin.
Ang totoo, umiiyak si Dani habang namamalantsa ako. Nagpapakarga siya.
Tinitiis ko lang at minamadali ang pagplantsa dahil ayoko siyang umiyak nang matagal.
Maliligo si Dani.
Matutulog.
Kailangan ihele hanggang makatulog nang mahimbing.
Maliligo si Charles.
Kapag als-diyes y media na, maliligo na ako at maghahanda sa pagpasok.
Habang nagbibihis o minsan habang naghehele ako kay Dani, tunog nang tunog and cell phone.
May nagte-text.
May nagtatanong, may nakikiusap, may sinasabing importante raw.
ANO BA 'TO?
Pagdating ko sa opisina ko, may limang taong naghihintay sa akin.
Isa-isa ko silang kakausapin kahit hindi pa ako nakapagpahid ng lipstick man lang.
Hindi ko alam kung paano matatapos ang araw na ito.
Ang alam ko lang, maraming naghihintay na trabaho sa akin ngayon.
Alam ko rin, gusto kong makasama lagi ang mahal kong anghel na si DANI.
Walang duda:
Mahirap maging ina, guro, asawa, at estudyante.
Pero naisip ko rin, hindi naman laging ganito.
Lalaki rin si Dani. Sanggol pa siya ngayon pero matatapos rin ang pagka-sanggol niya.
Doon na lang ako babawi.
Kung totoo ngang may superwoman, sigurado akong hindi ako iyon.
Higit pa kay superwoman ang aking kakayahan.
Kathang-isip lang si superwoman.
Ako ang tunay.
Tunay na ina.
Tunay na guro sa isang eskwela.
Tunay na asawa.
Tunay na nagmamahal sa pamilya

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl...

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o...

My SHAIYA battle for a week

A duo with -kamikaze- MMORPG. Online games. Virtual world. SHAIYA. The past holy week signaled the beginning and end of my battle in the virtual world. I started playing an MMORPG for a week -- trying to level up my character named SexySteffi in an online game known to players as SHAIYA . It wasn't as sophisticated as Wow but most things are basically the same. The best parts would be killing monsters to level up and killing darkies to get higher ranks. Another good thing about online games like SHAIYA is the opportunity to talk to people or gamers from different parts of the world. I've met gamers from Columbia, Chile, Texas, Australia, Canada, etc. Gamers really come from different walks of life. Some are young, some old, some married, some single, some just fooling around, some serious about leveling up. As a priest, SexySteffi is in demand in the game :-) Some players would always invite her to a party so that they could conquer the monsters without getting killed a...
