A lot of people in school are having colds, cough, or worse, the flu. The crazy weather the past few days has wreaked havoc on everyone’s health. Lately, it would be unbearably hot during the afternoons but then it would rain on late afternoons or evenings. An NC health insurance would be ideal right now. [...]

Ever since I started blogging on my own domain last year, I didn’t upgrade my wordpress install. Last week though, something crazy happened… my blog got hacked.
My initial reaction was, why? Is my blog worth hacking? I found out that the wordpress version I was running (2.2, yep that old!) had many security issues and [...]
on growing

I’m so amazed with how fast children grow. Before I experienced this with Mateo, I witnessed this with my students. On my first year of teaching, I was the math teacher for the grade four class. They were a bunch of boisterous, gregarious kids. Some of them were so small, they look like first graders. [...]

Ramil and I attended one of my former officemate’s wedding last April 19. Both the bride (my former officemate) and the groom are Chinese so it was a church-full and ballroom-full of Chinese or at least Chinese-speaking people. There were even parts of the wedding when we could only guess what it was being said [...]

My sister has been transporting her things little by little to our house in Antipolo. She’s already getting tired and wishing that there’s something like a New York Moving Company to make things easier for her. We try to help whenever we visit my mom so that she’ll have a car to help her bring [...]

Ramil was supposed to take up medicine. His was a family who have been frustrated at producing one and they had high hopes for him. However, circumstances prevented him from pursuing this after finishing his BS Biology degree. All his batchmates who pursued medicine are all doctors now. Whenever we talk about them, we always [...]

My mom’s friend would finally graduate from college next year. She’s been working on her media coursework for several months now and she’s dying to finally finish it. Another batchmate of hers who will also be graduating decided to make a RE coursework, a piece of writing disclosing the problems of religion, ethics, and philosophy. [...]

Once again, Mateo’s yaya went home. This time though, she told us way ahead of time that she wants to visit her mom in the province. Initially, she told me she’ll be back after two weeks but after several days, she told me that she’s not sure if she’ll be coming back. It would have [...]

Ramil and I have been so frustrated with our dreams of a new/newer car. A few months before Mateo was born, we almost bought ourselves a brand new Aveo Sedan. Our bank loan got approved without a hitch, and the car guy was almost to the point of driving the car right to the front [...]

Mateo is such a handful lately. He could barely sit still for ten minutes. It’s such a hassle now to bring him whenever we eat out because he could make such a ruckus. He’d cry with such vigor, worthy of Bantay-Bata. He has a lot of toys but he’ll be interested in them for only [...]
