Where was Momma? Part1 (WAHMnabee that is me)
I know. It's been quite a while.
Well a BIG while. (Have 3 kiddies running around. Btw, they're all under 7.)
So here's what this Momma has been up to lately ---
(AHDOOGAHPAAAK! that's my Diko's interpretation of Kuya's drum rolls!)
[#1] The WAHMderful Life Workshop spearheaded by the beautiful moms Martine de Luna of the Dainty Mom and Ginger Arboleda of Manila Workshops
2012 has been a year of big shifts in my life. For one, I have decided to homeschool my Kuya and Diko, and of course our salingkitty Naya. But I've been finding myself wanting to work again. Once in a while, I miss the classroom, the papers and lesson plans, the messy kids -- oh my exceptional students -- and earning mullah. Yep, you got that right. If you know me, you know I've been doing a lot of labor for love, not much for the monetary returns, but for the sheer pleasure of serving.
But hey, I realized I want/need pesos to support my sanity-savers (crafting, salon+spa trips, ukayhunts, inkies, outside-coffee adventures, etc). Then this workshop happened. :)
What a lovely day that was! I sat with Teacher/Mama Tina Rodriguez of Truly Rich Mom who I met at one of the CFA gatherings, who I so admire (I'm such a fangirl). Boy was I starstruck with all of the mombloggers I stalk, errr read, whenever I need validation and inspiration. Speakers included Toni Tiu of Wifely Steps and Marge Aberasturi of The Happy Wahm. Apart from the words of wisdom, my favorite was the loot from Celeteque, my brand for gel moisturizer (always been). I have been using the ultralift serum for a month now and it's been doing a wonderful job on my face. Not as pore-y and blush-y anymore! :)
More than the learning of new terms and acronyms (Odesk, Elance, SEO, VA, if you don't know them too, well, GIYF=Google is your friend!), I've discovered how moms have been stepping up. My seatmate was a yoga teacher/golfer. She was encouraging me to study yoga so I can help my special needs students, in the future that is, if I continue with the long overdue learning center. I also met Jennyfer who has an aspie son (that's a nick for Asperger's syndrome), a personal favorite "superpower" of this sped teacher.
Man, the workshop was positively overwhelming! My creativity juice once again runneth over. The little hamster inside my head was almost on fire! I didn't get to wait for the group photo ops; had to commute back home to Bulacan, since our driver had a previous appointment. But hooray for raffles, I won a Xend GC! {By the way, food was awesome too from Almost Gourmet. Titania gave out a nifty nail clipper, and a Howard Storage baggie}
Next on this Momma's kwentos, the [#2] Craft MNL's 2nd Etsy Craft Party! Stay tuned I just have to pee, ALONE! (Kids, yes you may play under the table!)
