e-cube

this blog is a chronicle of me and my 2 daughters - elise and eliza. why did i choose "e-cube"? cos their father's name is exxxx! so exxxx, elise and eliza = e-cube! so clever! it is about my experience .... as a father, guardian, counsellor to my girls. their mommy is the most beautiful angel with strength of heart and character to boot...but this is about ME - the daddy!

Happiness is....

in nomine patri, et filii,et spiritui sancto,amen

am happy the weekend is here as my job is getting very intense and pressured and this is the time i have with mommy,elise and eliza.

went for novena today and the priest was fr simon perreira, a favourite of mine with his "real" sermons as well as non-judgemental look at the problems of today. somehow he made me realise i have lost touch with Mother Mary for a while..... time for me to wake up!

let me tell you a secret... you wanna know where heaven on earth is? it's at TOYS'R'US! brought elise and eliza to forum galleria after elise's class and man ... there was nothing but PURE UNADULTERATED JOY!

so much laughter... so much running around... so much screaming.... so much..EVERYTHING! this place has the magic to to make the world beautiful, as everyone, including adults, become kids again ...

every adult became a kid again, looking and playing with the toys there ... in fact, mom-in-law was so tickled by a toy baby that would cry when you pulled out the pacifier and shut up when you shoved it back in that she was doing that repeatedly and laughing her head off and saying ... this is eliza when she was a baby!

even i was not spared from the infectious happiness as i saw a pogo stick laying by the corner and i surprised elise and eliza by shouting "look at daddy!".... boing boing boing boing..... hehehe

that 1 hour we spent there makes up for all the stress i have to face at work!

i also learnt 2 things today:

1. puddles and kids have an imaginary magnetic force
whenever there is a puddle of water, despite your advance warning not to step on it or to watch out for it, kids will inevitably develop selective hearing and go ahead to step onto the puddle. i have long accepted this but mommy is still fighting this inherent "gift" from nature.

2. never let your kid ride her bicycle around the house while you take a dump or always have a tag team to watch the kids.
mommy was busy with her chores when i needed to take a dump and eliza decided to ride her bike when suddenly i heard a long bang and eliza crying loudly that rushed to wipe me arse and run out
to find that she had toppled over from the bicycle while riding in the kitchen. she has a bump on her cheek and man ... me mom is gonna give it to me when i go back for lunch after Mass tomorrow morning

all in all ... i wouldnt expect any less from a saturday!

in nomine patri, et filii, et spiritui sancto, amen
