the 2nd time around

Posted on November 27, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Even before Ramil and I got together, I knew I wanted to have at least three children. The key word is ‘at least’ because four is the magic number for me. This was back when I was still living with my parents, when I had no idea of the average monthly expenses of a household, [...]

computer upgrade

Posted on November 24, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Last April, Ramil upgraded his laptop’s system memory for his birthday. Now that he’s thinking of selling it, it’s the only thing that’s keeping him from going through with selling it. It’s a shame that his laptop and mine have different specifications for the memory. It would have been a good option to just transfer [...]

when I grow up…

Posted on November 24, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I’ve always wondered what my ‘children’ (my students) will be when they grow up. I always feel overwhelmed whenever I think of them as future lawyers, doctors, engineers, teachers, or even a president! It’s so exciting knowing that they can be anything they want to be and that they have their whole future ahead of [...]

singing carols

The other day, on our way to school, we saw a giant inflatable Snowman. It immediately caught Mateo’s attention and I told him it’s Frosty the Snowman. I proceeded to sing the song and he smilingly watched me and tried to do the same. That started his fancy for Christmas songs.
The next day, I went [...]

shot put

Earlier today is the sportsfest of the Preschool department in our school and every year, the grade school and high school departments are asked to help out. I brought Mateo along so he can watch children, some just slightly bigger than him, play around in the mud. While waiting for the activities to start, Mateo [...]

who is Santa?

Posted on November 23, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Earlier, I asked Ramil whether we will bring up Mateo believing in Santa Claus. He answered by saying that we will bring up Mateo in a realistic way. Of course, that prompted protests from me. Even though I never totally believed in Santa Claus, I grew up with the illusion of him. My sister, brother, [...]

caregiving for the old

Posted on November 23, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Working as a caregiver is very popular nowadays. I know someone who took a short course on caregiving and willingly left her family to work somewhere else as a caregiver. She’d tell me stories about the old people she’d take care of. She works for a service similar to the Fort Lauderdale Home Health Care. [...]

wanted: cooking help

Posted on November 19, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Cooking has never been my forte. When I was still living with my parents, even though my mom let me cook sometimes, I’ve always preferred eating rather than preparing the food. I’m one of those who’d sometimes lose appetite over food I’ve cooked or prepared so I’d often steer clear of cooking so that I [...]

making a list

Posted on November 16, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

It’s halfway through November and I’m only making my Christmas list. I’ve started listing the people to whom we’re going to give gifts to and the possible gifts we could give them. It’s very easy to buy gifts for some people on my list but others would be a real challenge. My brother might prove [...]

the never-ending test hurdle

Posted on November 16, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Again, we are two weeks away from our school’s second trimestral exams. I’ve blogged time and again to rant about the stress brought about by deadlines like these that comes with our work. I have four more test to make before tomorrow. Whew! It’s a blessing that I have a wonderful husband who’s also going [...]
