That is the best take away I have from the www.parenTIN.TV that I attended two Saturdays ago. If there is a sin we parents would commit as we raise our children, that is to compare them to other kids, even to their siblings. This is a lesson I am trying really hard to put into practice.
This is just a preview. Wait for my full account of the event tomorrow. 😉
ULY is our car. Hubby uses it everyday on his way to work and we use it on weekends or practically whenever we need to go somewhere. Hubby went on leave from his work since Monday because of our Boracay escapade and we did not us it that day. Come Tuesday, I was waiting for hubby to tell us that we are already leaving for the airport because he and Papa Bert are quite busy checking up on ULY. I can sense that something is wrong. Still we opted to use ULY. We are already at Fort Bonifacio when the temperature of the aircon increased and it was already hot inside. The light on the clock also died. I was praying really hard that we make it safe at the airport.
We did. Thank God! But right after hubby turned of the engine at the parking lot, it would not start again. We did not think of the problem yet as the car will be parked there while we are away.
When we came back, my dad, Papa Nollie thought ULY was already fixed as it started without any problem. But after a kilometers, the engine died. They had to park it in a nearby gas station as we are still in Kalibo, waiting in vain for our flight back to Manila. Hubby called Papa Bert so he could bring the FX to the airport to tow ULY. Good thing we have trailer hitches that we could use during an emergency like this. We were able to get home safe and sound.
Yesterday hubby and Papa Bert were so busy checking up ULY but they could not find what is wrong. All the electricals are ok. They went for a test drive and it starts without a problem and runs continuously. Hay ULY not now please, not now.
While we were keeping ourselves patient as we wait in vain for our flight back here in Manila from Kalibo last Thursday, TV5 kept us company. The evening news was on and I saw that Councilor Shalani Soledad is already engaged to a certain Congressman Romulo. Pardon my innocence as I am not really aware who he is.
Anyway, the showbiz news gave a peek to Shalani’s engagement ring. It was huge and looks really expensive. But they did not get its price as they said the beautiful piece was an heirloom. The congressman must be pretty relieved for he was spared from the hardship of choosing the ONE from a vast selection of diamond rings available in the market these days.
I am just glad Shalani will no longer be linked to Willie. Congratulations to her and I am looking forward to her big day.
