Congratulations Nicole! Thursday, April 05, 2012

Congratulations Nicole for successfully finishing Kindergarten! We're all proud of you. :)

Back to School??? Friday, March 23, 2012

I am now seriously considering thoughts about going to law school. Seriously.

I finished a pre-law course, Economics, and it will take me another 5 years to complete law school. From there, I'll have to take the bar exam in order to become a real, licensed lawyer.

Part of me is inspired by the impeachment proceedings I watch every Monday-Thursday. I admire the lawyers for having so much knowledge of what to do and what not to do, and how legal proceedings work.

There is also a part of me that wants to take up law for necessity. I'll keep this to myself for the meantime. Lol.

Go Henry!!! Saturday, October 08, 2011

Yesterday, Henry and I were at the kids' school for their respective Feast Days. During Nicole's program, all the dads were called to play a game similar to what the kids' played, and they were funny and great at the same time. Henry's group won, yay!

Just Like Yesterday Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Today is starting to be just like yesterday. While I wait for my eldest daughter Keisha who takes forever to eat breakfast, I sit on my computer and check my emails, log into Facebook as well, and do some other stuff while I enjoy a hot cup of coffee. She's eating Koko Krunch, the same as always, her favorite breakfast meal with fresh milk. I just wish she could start eating it faster so that it doesn't take us a whole hour just to prepare for school.

Keisha's First Day in First Grade Wednesday, June 16, 2010

Yesterday, June 15, was Keisha's first day in school as a first grader. Her schedule is really early and long - her classes start at 6:45AM and ends at 12:15PM. I was worried about how she would adjust to staying that long in school as her previous schedules only took about 3 hours at the most.

On her very first day, Keisha came home with a star on her hand and another one today. She said today's star was for finishing what her teacher asked her to write the fastest, and her star for today was for behaving really well.

I'm glad Keisha's adjusting to being in the first grade really well, and I'm looking forward to more stories about the new teachers she will meet in the coming days.

It's June! Tuesday, June 01, 2010

June marks two very important events for me. First, in a few days or weeks, my eldest child Keisha is now in first grade! Yipee! I'm very proud of her, not to mention the fact that I seriously can't help but feel like I'm getting a whole lot older, hahaha!

Second, my second daughter Nicole will be having her third birthday, and I'm really looking forward to it. Time truly flies so fast, and my youngest daughter is growing up so fast. I wonder if our planned trip to Tagaytay will push through, or if we should just go to the mall and watch a movie or something.

Another Blast from the Past Picture Thursday, March 18, 2010

That's me standing with the green shoulder bag...I honestly did not recognize myself but I recognized that Lacoste bag of mine. Sob, I guess it's time I accepted how much weight I put on after 2 cesarian sections plus staying at home in front of the PC all day. I wonder how my friends managed to keep all of these old pictures with them when I don't even have a single one?

A Blast from the Past Wednesday, March 17, 2010

A college friend of mine posted this in FaceBook...and all I can say is OMG! I was so thin back then...and that shirt does not fit me anymore!!! I think it would fit my eldest daughter though...so I was that freaking thin back then? Whoa!

I Cried Monday, June 15, 2009

I was making Keisha her name plate for school and I just couldn't help but cry. I could have easily printed her name off of the computer and glue it to a piece of cardboard but I didn't. I chose to writer her name on a piece of bond paper over and over again until I got all the letters of her name the same size. The slightest error or smudge also made me start over.

When I finally got her name done, I cut her name and glued it to a piece of green cardboard, covered it with clear plastic like the one used for books, and then punched a hole in it to put her old ID lace. When I looked at what I've done, I cried. I remembered my dad and how he made me a name tag every school year. I imagined how tired he was from work and I'd impatiently bug him to make me a name tag. He'd cover everything with scotch tape to make the cardboard stiff. He could have printed my name off of the computer, but he didn't.

I remember what my mom always says how I'll understand her and dad better when I have kids of my own, and as always she was right. I just realized my dad's efforts when I made Keisha her name plate. Thanks dad, for everything.

June is Here! Sunday, May 31, 2009

Tomorrow is the first day of a new month. June usually marks the start of classes here, and my eldest daughter Keisha is starting her Kinder 2 school on the 3rd. Kinda weird that her school will start on a Wednesday.

With the H1N1 scare, students who have recently gone abroad will not be allowed to go to her school for the first 10 days. Those with fever need to wait as well, until they get better. Some parents think this is an overreaction, but for me, precaution is always better than cure.

Of course, June also marks the rainy season and as expected, today is a pretty rainy day. I wonder how I can finish laundry tomorrow. Tomorrow is also going to be a pretty busy day for me. I have to go to the post office to mail my mom in law's documents and pay the light bill. When I think of all the things I need to do in the following days, I can't help but sigh. But I'm glad that I get to spend the day with my kids.

Ang Kaibigang Tunay - Keisha Zacharie B. Macapagal Thursday, September 04, 2008

I finally retrieved the video of Keisha performing at school. Well, it may have been accidentally deleted, but I'm glad that we finally have it. The video ends abruptly though, and there's one more line Keisha has to say but the video ends. But all's well. I'm just glad I have a video of hers at her very first contest.

The -Ber Months are Here! Monday, September 01, 2008

It's just a few winks away until the -ber months are here. I'm referring to September, October, November, and December. I think it was my mom that had the idea of calling these months the -ber months or something, I don't remember exactly.

I recall feeling this exact same feeling a year ago when I wrote a post about September already being near. This month also means that Keisha is turning 5. *sigh* Time flies really fast. Henry and I better start preparing early for Keisha's 5th birthday as she plans on having the party at school.

Keisha's First Contest at School Thursday, August 28, 2008

Here's a video of my daughter rehearsing for her poem recital contest a few hours before the actual contest. Hope you like this one and hopefully we'll be able to retrieve the video of the actual contest as soon as the digicam is fixed.

Keisha's First Contest at School Thursday, August 28, 2008

Here's some pictures of Keisha's first contest at school. I'll embed her rehearsal video as soon as I'm finished uploading it. I didn't know 24mb could take forever, lol.

My Eldest at School Friday, June 27, 2008

I just wanted to post some pictures of Keisha in school. Next time we'll upload pictures of her in her PE Uniform. The other girl on the right side is Keisha's classmate, Erisa Yamamoto. She's half Japanese and half Filipino. She's already 6, I think.

A Really Proud Parent Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Keisha's first day of school really went well, I should say. I am extremely proud of her as she could handle herself really well, and she didn't cry at all when we left the room. We were waiting for her just outside her classroom door as she danced, sang, and colored her artwork. I was so extremely proud of her when she got three stars for her artwork which was hung on their classroom wall.

When Henry followed us to Keisha's school and peeked on the door with me, I couldn't stop tears from welling down my eyes as I was extremely proud of Keisha. I felt as though time had somehow passed by and my baby was no longer a baby, but a grown up kid.

I am so happy that Keisha's first day at school went well. She played, danced, and made new friends. Best of all, Keisha had a really great time and is looking forward to another day at school tomorrow.

First Day of School Monday, June 09, 2008

Yipee!

I guess tomorrow is every parent's dream - to send their child off to their first day at preschool. Keisha's off to school tomorrow, from 1 in the afternoon up to 3:30. Her classes are just 2 and a half hours every day from Monday to Friday, and Henry and I intentionally chose the afternoon schedule as our eldest is really not a morning person, plus the fact that I would like to spare her the hassle of waking up really early.

My mother in law ironed her uniforms which she'll be wearing from Monday to Thursday, and on Fridays, she'll be wearing her P.E. uniform with rubber shoes. Henry and I took Keisha and Nicole out to SM earlier so that we could buy juices and snacks for Keisha to eat while in school.

Since Keisha didn't sleep this afternoon, she's already out for the night after her night bath. I'm glad she's getting an early rest as she's up for a big day tomorrow.
