Saturday night...what am I doing still up? Maybe taking a breather, after putting Suraya to sleep and updating my blog. Somewhere in this neighborhood, there's a party going on...and I mean party like you see in the movies, loud music so that the whole block could hear. But this party is a latino party. I can hear the 'bunny hop' tempo blasting. How to sleep like this???
Last week was a short week for us. Cos it was the Memorial long weekend. Wasn't as crazy busy as before as one of our co workers came back from vacation (as I do not have to cover her underwriting task). But in turn, one more co worker went on vacation and another broke her leg. For a small office of 9 people, not having 2 can turn into a disaster...but everything turned out okay.
Remember my last posting wishing that I would go back to my old office and handle the management's projects and I am not enjoying managing an office? Well, the boss called and said that he is trying to figure out how to bring me back to the office to work with him again. Hmmm...seems like I am truly indispensable to him eh? But then, he will have to find someone to manage that office to take over me, which is hard cos again, noone's as smart as me hahahahaha!!! Anyway, I told him to please make it work, I can help pick the right candidate on who could do my job so that I could go back to my old office.
You guys might think why I am passing up this opportunity of managing an office? Hmmmm...you know, I know that I am a leader and can be a good one too, but sometimes I do not like the idea of acting as a manager (who gets paid $30k more than me per year...we have 3 managers, my boss is the Head of Manager) but not paid like one. Not that I would want to be a manager. I am not power hungry. With just being a new mother again, I cannot, I repeat, cannot take as much pressure like when before I had my baby.
Who knows, someday, when Suraya is maybe a few more years older, I might be a 'go getter' again.
In the meantime, Suraya is learning new tricks now. Besides weighing close to 18lbs, she can flip like coin many times over, can 'tripod' sit and now is beginning to flip one of her legs, sitting like a frog. Maybe she's learning to crawl? I don't know, this little girl is full of surprises.
Here's me and her, taken today.

Suraya is EXACT photocopy of David, eh?
Priorities change when one becomes a parent, doesn't it? And things like personal ambition just kind of takes a back seat for a while.
But don't let that stop you from reaching for the stars! When you're ready, go for it, Ely! :)
