Learning English

I wanted to teach Z to speak English ever since he was little but Daddy said no. He said that we should learn to speak our native language first and foremost. It made a lot of sense so the matter was laid to rest. So we spoke to him in Tagalog for the first five years of his life. Now that he is five...

Being Mischievous

I was busy finishing my work when I noticed Z has been quiet for a long time already. He was in our bedroom doing something in front of my dresser. When I sneaked in to catch him here’s what I found: He had discovered how fun it was to play with baby powder and proceeded to dump it all in my dresser!...

In The Honor Roll

I’m so happy Z’s exams are finally over! It’s the final exams I’m talking about and Z was included in those who took the advance exams for students that are candidates for honors. I have no idea what his place in his class  is because the school has a policy of not giving out...

Class Picture

Z came home today and was excited to show me something. It was their very first ever class picture. I looked at it right away and was relieved he looked great! He was not frowning in the picture. He immediately told one of his classmate was a fake. It turned out she was absent when that picture was taken...

Overcoming Shyness

Z is a little bit on the shy side. I think he got it from me. When I was a little girl I would love going to my grandma’s school. She’s a teacher there. What I hate about it though was the students were always staring and pointing at me. I was a kid, about five years old I think and you know...

My Growing Boy

I can’t believe Z is already 5 years old! It seems not too long ago when he was still in my belly. He is so tall now but I remember he has always been tall. When he came out he was 9.6 lbs! I tell you, he was so big he definitely didn’t look like a newborn baby. At the rate he’s growing...

Z’s Brother

No, I don’t need to take prenatal vitamins. I’m not pregnant and sometimes I wish I am but other times I’m hoping I wouldn’t be for now. So in short, I’m confused but it’s better not to dwell on those things. It’s up to God if he wants Z to have a sibling or...

Goodnight Moon

That’s our favorite bedtime story. I had heard rave reviews about it so when I saw it being sold in a book sale I grabbed it right away. I was disappointed though when I first read it. I thought the story was too boring. Z was not interested either so we put it away for awhile. Then last night...

Tired But We Had a Blast!

I can’t begin to tell you how busy we were today. I have been telling you about Z’s first ever birthday party since last week and that moment has finally come and gone. I was so worried last night thinking if we can finish cooking the food on time using our single burner! Imagine, cooking...
