Ever since we got Mateo a yaya, I realized how extremely difficult it is to find a good one. His first yaya was really good with him. She knows how to play with him and even teaches him a lot of things. She’s not too motherly though, more like a playmate to Mateo. Unfortunately, she’s [...]

One of the things I am planning to get for Ramil and me are life insurance coverage, even if we only get term life insurance. Having worked in the insurance industry before, I know how important it is to have yourself covered. Now that we have Mateo with us, I feel the importance all the [...]

back to work

We’re back to the grueling everyday life of teachers. After midterms week where students only take the exam and then go home at lunch time, and the no classes announcement yesterday, I had extremely difficulty getting my groove back. I had difficulty waking up this morning because there was still this cold, rainy atmosphere and [...]

looking for junk

My mom did some cleaning at their house last week. She found a lot of unused items at the back of our house and asked me to look at them before she disposes of them. I was pleasantly surprised to find my old books from my teenage years like Christopher Pike, RL Stine, Sweet Valley [...]

no kids = bliss

There are no classes tomorrow!!! Yipee!!! I don’t think any number of exclamation marks can accurately express my giddy happiness upon learning of this great piece of news. Although teachers are still required to report for work, our official time tomorrow is from 8am to 2pm which is still so much better than a regular [...]

stem cells technology

One of the most controversial issues in the field of science and medicine is the issue of stem cells and their promising use in curing serious illnesses and life-threatening diseases. I first heard about this a few years ago and it got me researching about what stem cells are and what it is about them [...]

woe to the red car

Posted on July 26, 2008 - Filed Under Ramblings, Ramil, Red Car Adventures | Leave a Comment

For months now, we’ve barely used our beloved red car. At first, the car’s electrical system seems to be malfunctioning because we’d often find the battery drained of electricity even though it’s just a year old. Because of that, the car refused to start several times. So we didn’t use our red car for a [...]

The school where I teach is very popular for its football program. Everyone plays football in that school, even preschoolers. We have students who are really great football players and as early as now, I can foresee their very bright future in this sport. Some of our grade 3 students can kick a ball really [...]

medicine safety

Posted on July 25, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

One of my many apprehensions whenever I need to take some medication is whether the medicine is totally safe for me or not. I know a lot of people who’ve had one too many adverse or allergic reactions to some medicines. These could have been prevented if the prescribing physician knows about the patient’s medical [...]

This week is crunch time for my students because it’s midterm week in our school. Ramil and I had our own crunch time last week when we were rushing to finish the midterm exams for our respective classes. For two weeks, we had to stay up late. I’ve had to use my acne cream once [...]
