Ramil is a very musical person. He has a great voice and he can play the guitars really well. Blame it on him that Mateo learned the word ‘tar’ even before he learned most words. He’d often cajole his Dada into playing the guitar for him while he sings along. Sometimes he’d also try to [...]

I’m lucky that Mateo has never been afraid of taking a bath. Ever since he was just months old, he wasn’t a crybaby whenever it’s time to take a bath. That’s why bath time is such a fun time for both of us. I use it as an opportunity to play some more with him. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last week, there was a power interruption in our area amidst the strong rains, thunder, and lightning. Naturally, we had to bring out the candles that we rarely use. Mateo initially enjoyed looking at the flames of the candles especially since those were our only lights that night. He then got interested in blowing them [...]

Just a few weeks ago, I made one of the biggest decision I’ve ever made as a mother. It was a decision that I’m sure many mothers out there had to make. It was a decision that made my heart break into a million pieces. Looking back, it was a decision that was necessary and [...]

We’re now entering the second week of school and already, we missed a day because of typhoon Frank. I would have expected myself to be ecstatic about it. Even though I was grateful for the extra day that Ramil and I get to stay home and spend more time with Mateo, I was surprisingly a [...]

Classes has officially started last Friday. Tomorrow will mark the end of the first week of classes and I am still alive, thank you. Mateo, on the other hand, had cough for more than a week. He’s been very choosy with his food lately. He’d prefer to socialize with the many people around him. I’m [...]

I haven’t updated my blog in quite awhile. Blame it on my decision to go back to teaching full-time! Hehe! I’ve been so busy the past week trying to prepare for the opening of classes tomorrow. Mateo has had two yayas in a span of a week. Ramil and I have resorted to getting one [...]

When I was still pregnant with Mateo, I was sure I wanted to be the one to take care of him. I left the decision of resigning up in the air and thought of not making a decision until things settle down and everything is clearer. I gave birth on a January, which actually leaves [...]
