Hi There!

How are you all doing?

I am just posting this quick one to let you know what I have been up to recently.

Well, I have been busy doing mommy duties and some errands to the city hall. I went to the city hall to fix our real property tax declaration. It is fixed now, thank God! The mommy duties, well, the usual stuff, plus more reviewing and assignments. Having a first grader who has new subjects is now starting to become challenging. It is like going back to my elementary days but this time, things are taught earilier. Alex was asked to memorize a four-stanza poem. She was able to memorize it perfectly in three days and was able to deliver it with little actions at school, in front of the class. After that poem, we tackled her first ever project, this time, for Science. It is a research project on the bad effects of certain scenarios to our body. I picked “lack of sleep” and “lack of healthy food in the body” because these are very applicable to her. I wanted her to take part in doing the project, instead of just getting every thing from the internet and just printing it. I made her draw pictures that depict the bad effects. Today, she reported her project at school and was given another commendation. Her story eased away all the stress we went through while doing her project. I am so proud of her!

Sorry for the post title, I cannot think of a more appropriate one. GTG!

He is risen! Come on and celebrate!

Happy Easter, everyone!

I had one of the most fruitful Holy Week and I hope you too. I pray to God, that the lessons I learned may stay with me as long as I live and may He help me practice these learnings in my everyday life.

The girls had two firsts this Easter celebration, they witnessed the Salubong rites and Ate Alex got to be an angel who threw flowers to Mary and Jesus. I am so proud of them! A full post on that will follow.

May we all feel in our lives that Christ is resurrected!

Those words are synonymous! Hahaha!

So maybe March is still not the start of my blogging year. It’s first week started with Alex’s final exams and yeah, we were really busy reviewing, thus no post. After her three day exams, they resumed to their regular schedule but had to undergo another change of shift yesterday. This whole week, Alex’s school schedule is 7:30am, as a preparation for their graduation on Saturday. OMG, by June, we already have a grade-schooler!!!! Can we pause the time for a while, please????

Ok, save the sentiments for now.

If you’ve been reading my posts, you would know by now that this is an extra challenge for us because we are not morning people, specially me. But I welcomed the change. And what do you know, for two days, we are not late for school. I did not have a hard time waking up Alex and preparing her. That makes me think now if I should transfer her to the morning class come next school year. But that would mean losing the chance to be part of the cream section. (I wish all school would just shuffle all students year after year and that there would be no cream section anymore.) Anyway, that is another post. I am kind of proud of myself and Alex.

After this week, it is officially vacation for us. Woot woot! Time to think of the girls’ summer activities!
