Mommy and Me Monday # 3 - Community Day at School

Saturday, Oct. 2, was the Community Day at my sons' school. They had Fun Run, Family Games and the Community Breakfast which we attended. My eldest, JM, took a picture of me with his younger siblings.

It was while we are having breakfast, its a potluck affair. We brought salted eggs with tomatoes. The kids had so much fun. I had fun too while meeting other mommies! It's really a fun day!

Friday's Fave Five #2

Friday once again, time to recap the whole week. And it is also the 1st of October! It is our favorite month because three of us in the family will be celebrating our birthdays this month.

1. I'M BACK! After almost 2 weeks of no internet connection due to the defective power supply of our broadband, I'm sooo glad I'm back! The side of the village where we transfered doesnt have telephone line connection yet so we rely soley on our broadband. It's more of a blessing when it broke down because a carpenter is schedule to do some work in the house and I got to watch over his work more. Now, the carpentry job was done, the internet connection was fixed and I'm back.

2. TUTOR. My two sons decided to attend a tutoring class! I'm proud of my "JM" (11 y.o.) and my "KEVIN" (10 y.o.) for deciding for themselves and attend a review class twice a week. JM's goal was to get an ACHIEVER AWARD at the end of the school year and requested that I send him to a tutor. Kevin, on the other hand, wants to get the highest Award - The GENERAL SCHOLASTIC AWARD! Its something I don't impose on my kids but I'm so proud of them to have a goal set on their own. I just love them so!

3. CABINETS. About the carpentry job I mentioned, it's the cabinets we ask the carpenter to build. The kitchen cabinets, the walk-in-closet, the kids' cabinet, our living room divider, the center table and our version of console table. Its already built but still need some painting and varnishing job. I'm excited about it because I design all of it! I'll post them as soon as it is finished. :>

4. NO CLASS FRIDAY. Its a "no class" day at my son's school today. It's Lacasa Teacher's Day that's why they don't have classes. I'm not sure what it means but what's important for me and my kids is that we have time to rest the whole day! Tomorrow, Oct. 2, is their schools' Family Fun Day. There will be a community breakfast, fun run, family games and more activities at the school tomorrow. Looking forward to it!

5. T-SHIRTS. Just this morning, my husband gave me these two t-shirts with the pink ribbon designs, as a support for breast cancer awareness.

Mommy Moments: Wacky!

When I saw we had "wacky" as our theme for MM, I got so excited to show you the wacky moments we had. Though I wasn't in the picture, my boys truly had lots of fun posing and pretending! It was way past bedtime when their aunt ask them to pose and these is the outcome...




Just lately, on my sister's wedding (the same one who took my kids wackiest photo), we pose for a wacky family photo and whenever I look at it, it brings me happy memories...



Here's more wacky photos of my kids which makes their moments with me memorable and exciting and...(can't find words to describe)



Have a great weekend!

Mommy and Me Monday #2

A picture with my eldest son, JM. He is 11 years old and tries to be an independent young man already but is still such a baby when he is sick. He was sick the whole weekend and I have to take care of him. I miss taking care of him...

Card-Giving Day

Friday, Sept. 3, 2010, was the 1st card-giving day for this school year in my sons' school. Of course, parents are more excited that their kids! It's "the day" we are going to find some fruits for our labor. "The day" we are going to be rated (in my own opinion).

It's my job to get all my kids report cards and have a talk with their school advisers.

I'm just soooo happy to know that all of my three (3) boys have a "CONDUCT AWARD" each for having a good behavior in school!





And to top it all, Kevin and Phoebo got an "ACADEMIC AWARD" for showing exemplary performance academically!




I would like to make mention of my Kevin. He's the only one who got a perfect score in their 1st quarter exam in Math and got the bonus question correctly among all grade 5 students. With that, he got a 98% in his report card in Math. Congrats, Kev!

We are so proud of you, kids!

Another quarter has just started. There will be more work to do, more monitorings, more supervisions, more motivations, etc. But we will pass it all - in God's grace!

Thank you, Lord!

Friday's Fave Five # 1

This is my very first entry on Friday's Fave Five.

1. Thanks to mommy Chris' Mommy Moments because I found mommy Hazel's entry on Friday's Fave Five and I got interested. What a better way to recap the happenings for the whole week than see them as blessings instead of trials. Many thanks!

2. Poem. I'm a trying hard poet. I try to write poems whenever I get inspired. Just lately, I started documenting the things that I've written. One of which is "I Love You" because I'm just happy...happy.

3. Flu! My sons, Kevin and Phoebo, catches flu this week. Both are now well and I'm just glad its just a Flu than the scary Dengue Fever! Thank God!

4. AWARDs. It's card-giving time in my sons' school. I'm so happy that all the three (3) boys got a "CONDUCT AWARD" each for showing good behavior in school. While Kevin and Phoebo got an "ACADEMIC AWARD" for their exemplary performance academically. Good work, guys! Mama is sooooo proud of you!!!(http://mommy-divine.blogspot.com/2010/09/card-giving-day.html)

5. Quote that caught my attention as I read the Daily Bible Reflection of The Kerygma Family: "One cannot give without loving, but one cannot love without giving."

I hope I did alright. Thanks for this site, Susanne! And I hope I can join again next week.

Mommy Moments: This I give to you (Pamana)

What's mine when I was a child were mostly hand-me-downs from my sister. And after I used them, I hand them down to my younger sisters.

So, I just couldn't think of anything to post when lo and behold, as I search for some "treasure" in the house, I found this old Webster Dictionary! I remember my father bought it for us at "Alemar's Bookstore" (an old bookstore in the 70's). We treasured this dictionary so much because we know it came out of my father's Christmas bonus.



Now, my mother gave it to me for my boys to use. It help them a lot like it did me. A true "Pamana" from my parents to me and now for my kids...


P.S.: my eldest son says my "pamana" to him is my near-sightedness. LOL!
