Growing old yeyeviray, October 13, 2014May 21, 2015 Time is passing by so quickly don’t you think? I am starting to get scared whenever I look at our kids, they’ve grown so fast. Especially Marcus. I am just glad he doesn’t go out too often (compared to teens his age), but he’s starting to ask permission already. He… Continue Reading
Why enrol your kids to different schools? yeyeviray, August 4, 2014May 21, 2015 I always get this question. And every time, there is a lag between the question and my answer. I struggle for words to explain that I look for school that would meet each of my child’s needs and not the other way around. I’ve learned my lesson already and I… Continue Reading
Raising kids to be entrepreneurs yeyeviray, April 13, 2012April 5, 2015 I grew up believing that I have to study well so that I’ll be employed by a good company, take note, employed. Neither my papa nor mama brought up the idea that it is better if I come up with my own business. Of course there is nothing wrong with… Continue Reading
Mom to a 13 year old yeyeviray, March 1, 2012April 5, 2015 How does it feel and how is it like to have a 13 year old son? You can ask me now. Marcus celebrates his entry to teenage life today and I feel so blessed to have a handsome, healthy, smart, sweet and loving son. I am proud of him because… Continue Reading
Clumsy Smurf yeyeviray, September 21, 2011April 5, 2015 Have you seen the Smurfs Movie? If so, it would be difficult to miss Clumsy Smurf. And if you’ve spent time with my son, Zach, it would be equally difficult not to see their similaries. Haha! We’re not making fun of my little boy but it’s just really funny to… Continue Reading
In good hands yeyeviray, July 25, 2011April 5, 2015 I am slowly getting over the bad feeling I had with Colegio San Agustin and some of its educators. They recommended Marcus to be transferred to another school because of his behavior. It pains me because some students would repeat grade level several times or attend classes every summer while… Continue Reading
Accepting their uniqueness yeyeviray, March 25, 2011April 5, 2015 When my eldest son, Marcus, started schooling, I did not ask for him to be an honor student because I just wanted him to enjoy the whole learning experience. I know he belongs to the above average group (even superior), based on his teachers’ assessment, test results and my own… Continue Reading
To Kumon Or Not To Kumon yeyeviray, February 4, 2011April 5, 2015 Kumon is effective if you enrol your child for the right reasons. I used to think that Kumon is teaching Math the wrong way because its worksheets, as if, require the child to memorize the answer instead of doing the right calculation. But when someone told me that Kumon has… Continue Reading
What scares me yeyeviray, May 2, 2010April 5, 2015 Today as I was putting Lia to sleep, I was thinking, ‘Am I where I should be right now?’ Honestly, I felt unproductive having to spend so much time and effort dancing my baby to sleep. I love what I was doing but I thought maybe I should instead be… Continue Reading
Wake-up! yeyeviray, March 11, 2010April 5, 2015 It’s been a while since the last time I wrote a blog, an unpaid blog that is, and I guess I should start creating one now before its too late. It’s not because I don’t have anything to say. Actually, its either because I’m too busy with work and daily… Continue Reading
