Done With Tests, Now What?

-
Last weekend's 4-day break has come and gone. Jake has promptly forgotten about the Plants and Zombies musical which we actually watched not once but two times last week! He is now fixating on this weekend's (Saturday) soccer game for the Subangdaku Football Club in the morning and a kiddie party in the afternoon. Looks like a fun Saturday schedule for Jake.

After the recent long weekend, there followed three school days, during which time, Jake and Kyle's test results were given. 10th grader Kyle was happy with his, particularly in Advance Algebra where he got a 96, the highest in his class. Way to go! And the 2nd-grader, Jake, was not to be outdone in his test results. He had his share of bragging as well (hihi), and said he was one of the highest in Science. LOL

Well, I'm happy, as they are, with the test results after the hardwork they put in. This weekend is another long one (gotta love August!). They deserve to enjoy the break. Then next week is the start of a new grading period. Time for them to regroup and direct their energy to knowing about the new lessons. There are no grand plans to be like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or even timothy sykes in the future. For now, they only need to work hard in school and learn as much as they can.

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
