mommy me

being a hostess for almost two weeks will tire you out. it includes entertaining, accompanying and treating your guests wherever daily. i wasn't able to do my gym regimen for a week and i'm now resting from fatigue. i had no me-time.

for those past weeks, i became an instant mommy of 4 equally playful nieces and nephew. you have to feed, play and talk a lot to them. adolescent is the formative years so i learned to share wisdom even if questions of a 7 and a 9 yr old are endless that you would want to give up. i sleep beside a 4 yr old or a 2 yr old which cries at night. it's really fulfilling when they appreciate the stuff that you do for them and tells you that 'you're the coolest aunt ever.' 

i now understand even if i only experienced it for just a week. i don't have to give birth to realize the hardships of a mother. i salute the moms because it's the real hard work. i used to think that career and money are IT. or being able to purchase a vuitton or a louboutin will get me to ecstasy. i saw a glimpse of a different perspective in life that i didn't really bothered to look at. i'm glad i did coz it's now another option. :)
