Big School or Small School

Less than a month from now, classes will officially start here in the Philippines. I should be cramming now because Ayex is not yet enrolled.

As you may know, she started schooling at the age of 2.8yo in our hopes to improve her social skills. We actually got more than that as she came home with new knowledge everyday. But after she graduated from pre-nursery, she did not want to enroll for the next school year. She said schooling makes her tired. So she was an out of school kid last year.

This year, she will be 4.5yo come school time. Our pediatrician recommended that we already send her to school so she will not be bored and left behind by her peers. Also, her boredom is already driving us nuts. I have narrowed down the schools near our area and she has picked her choice.

It is our first time to really send Ayex to school and we are clueless what to follow. The school Ayex wants to go is a big one. Mon wants to check the other nearby smaller schools. I am ok wherever she goes because from what I heard, these are reputable schools. But when Mon asked why Ayex should go to a big school, I was not able to answer him. I really do not know where should we base our decision.

How about you, are your children attending a big or small school? What made you decide to enroll your children in their current school?

Things I Am Thankful for Today

Today was pretty tiring and hectic but I just want to take some time before I sleep to say how grateful I am for some things.

  1. Hubby woke up early, drove us Celebrity Sports Plaza where the Ayex’s ballet dress rehearsal is, and stayed there to help me take care of the little ballerina. I was so prepared to commute via taxi and I am glad we did not have to because the traffic is crazy!
  2. Kind people such as Ms. Tere of TOTAL IMAGE DAY SPA. We left Maxyn here at home, which means I have to express milk while I am away to prevent engorgement. She lent me a room in their spa where I was able to make milk comfortably. It was so relaxing that I wanted to dose off a little!
  3. The dress rehearsal ended up being just a rehearsal. The ballerinas only changed costumes twice and they did not wear the costumes that we do not have yet. I was so worried that Ayex might get upset even if I have explained it to her earlier about it. The thing is, we do not have those costumes yet because we are not aware about these additional costumes. There is really a problem with logistics the past few weeks and I hope the studio owners/managers take care of it soon.

Thank God for this day. Tomorrow is a big day. Good night, everyone!

I Love My Family! ParenTIN.tv Love Month Event

Yesterday, I attended my first ever ParenTin.tv event. Thanks to hubby who came with us, we did not have to take the cab. It was also a blessing in disguise that he came along because the topic ParenTin.tv touched on involved the husband and the wife. I am really glad we attended because I learned a lot. There were several talks where married life, blood banking, and skin care were discussed to name a few. There were some booths also like Galileo, Baby Company and FunShots Photobooth.

Aside from my takeaways from the talks, I was also able to meet some mommy bloggers. Some of them I have already met before and the others are new faces to me. I forgot to bring Erin with me so I just grabbed the photo below from Mommy Pehpot.


I am super thankful for my new-found-friends and I cannot wait for our grand meet-up. I plan to post the details of each talk during the event on separate posts so watch out for that.

In the meantime, I will go back to our chika session in Pinay Mommy Blogger’s Facebook account and of course, this QA testing that I have to finish soon.

Hi there! I'm Nicquee and this is my little space in this world wide web. I'm a mom of two and is happily married. I started this blog as literally my online journal where I dump my emotions. Over the years, I realized that there is more to write about. Feel free to browse through and I hope you find a thing or two that is relatable to you. If that happens, give me a shout-out!
