My daughter loves to do puzzles of different kinds. Her favorite is the mini rubix cube, she masters that in no time! At 6 years old and knows how to play different puzzle games in the computer, I guess she is so advanced for her age. I have learned playing with the computer so late already.

Her favorite past time includes playing with her cousins but mostly she would spend time playing with different games on the cellphone and on the computer. Sometimes the games bore her already so it is one exciting news to share to her about sunsout! I guess we have to play together on the beginner version and see where the competition leads us both!

My eldest will be in Grade 1 this coming school year while my son will be in Kinder or Preparatory (that is depending on the Daycare Center’s decision since he finished Nursery this year but had the same curriculum as the Kinder students had). Now that it’s a few more days before June it’s enrollment time once again. I am grateful that my eldest daughter passes the scholarship that would help her secure a brighter future up to college.

My son on the other hand has minimal fees since he will be enrolled on the Day Care Center under the Department of Education. I would not have to worry about the enrollment fees if ever but have to keep a budget on their school supplies. I hope and pray I can get some advertisers coming to help me with the finances this coming school year. I am crossing my fingers on that one.

Summer time for the kids means playing the whole day! But one day, they will come to you and say – am bored mom! If that moment comes, here are some tips I’d like to share.

Consider having them enrolled on summer classes like swimming, karate class or gymnastics or ballets. It would make them preoccupied for weeks before the class starts in June.

If you can’t afford spending on summer class, get the kids to have a tutorial at home by reading some books, doing some coloring and activity books.

Let them accompany you on your meeting with liability insurance for marketing agency
if they would allow kids around. It would make them aware of the real world outside home.

Let them have some alone time too, it would make them miss you but most importantly independent to make them grow self sufficient individual.

I would only have stainless steel faucetss on my kitchen sink! Would have the elegant dining set, king size bed and comfortable sofa from Ikea! I would have a stair that leads to a four bedroom – 1 master bedroom, 2 kids room and 1 guest room. Would have a separate entertainment room for our big 52inches LED TV, that also house a billiards table for my husband. A study room and play area in one for my children.

I would have my children’s room designed on their favorite cartoon character – buttercup-inspired room for my daughter and spiderman-superman-inspired room for my son. The master’s bedroom would be all white like the kitchen and the living room would have an off-white theme. We would have a backyard for my little garden and a front porch for our morning coffee time. I would like to have an area for my husband’s basketball session at our huge plot and swimming pool for my children. There should have enough parking space for our 4 cars.

See how an empty stomach could make me wish so grand? Now I need to eat! Hihih

What sad of a life a worker has when her salary is on per day. I sometimes wish I got a monthly rate, seriously. No work, no pay, no food. Can you tell your children that? “Today, mama has no work, I have no pay so we have no food. Maybe we can eat tomorrow if I have work!” Of course not!

So even if it is sometimes draining and tiring you only have one reason to get up and show up at work – you work for the family to get by every single day!

Sometime ago my favorite music genre is RAP. I am a rapper. My favorites up to now are Andrew E, Gloc 9 and Salbakuta. Can you imagine a mother of two and a 25year old rapping? I can be just that!

If I was able to record all my rapping sessions in the past, I can put them all in one propellerhead and play them endlessly now to let my children know what my life was a few years ago. But I still enjoy rap songs now and would often play them and sing along with my children. I really enjoy rap songs and my love for that music genre would last for as long as I live.

My father, who hails from Aklan, always boasts on how beautiful the island of Boracay is. They have been there last year for a quick visit and as much as I would like to go with them, that isn’t possible considering I have two kids and a husband to bring along. They didn’t have to spend the night on one of the hotels in Boracay. They got a free lodging at my cousin’s place in Diniwid and treated like that of specials for Orlando hotels guests.

He said we can get there too one day if I would be able to book us a ticket. I can’t wait for the day I would step-foot at that famous white sand beach and experience my Boracay dream!
