Sandier Pastures

Someone is in my house right now to entertain my mom. Now my mother can have a ‘proper’ conversation using her own language and without cutesy baby talks.

My aunt (my mom’s younger sister)  just arrived from the Philippines this morning after an uneventful flight. The plane departed Manila at the exact time and arrived in Dubai at 4:40 a.m. sharp, just like in the itinerary! Very surprising for a plane to arrive on time especially if the country of origin is the Philippines…

Aunt is in Dubai in the hope of finding a nanny job. She comes with my high recommendation as she loves kids and has lots of experience in childcare. We will miss her when she goes to live with her employer soon as Pristine is starting to really like her just a few minutes after they met.

So there are 5 people in my house - male population is down to 20%. We are getting merrier.
