When Kate was 4 years old that time when she started to school at Colegio, she was on Level1 that time when she memorized their morning prayer before the class started. I am so grateful to hear those wonderful prayer that she knew. With her clear pronunciation, I am so happy that she able to learn those words exactly at her young age. Later I knew that it was the prayer of all students studied in their school.

I will share to you their wonderful morning prayer:

Dear God

What a loving and generous Father you are,

I thank you for giving me another day for sharing my love

To my teachers, classmates and friends

I offer you my thoughts, my actions today

Teach me to love you more,

Amen

My kids are too picky on the foods they eat. That’s maybe my problems now as to choosing the right food with them. I want them to eat more on nutritious foods found on vegetables and fruits but they were more choosy when it comes to their taste. Sometimes, I forced them to eat rice match with soup and it’s more effective .

With so many ads on televisions that says easy to cook and they are more eager to eat easy to ccok food like instant noodles, hotdogs, tocinos. Well, those foods are still good  sometimes but  I just want them to eat some fresh veggies and fruits  to be able to get all  the  nutrients on fresh foods.

Mothers always want the best for their kids and so I am finding ways on how to feed them the exact food which is right for them.

Kate is quite independent now. She is now in grade two and she can study her lessons very well. I always keep on reminding her to study her lessons very well to be able to maintain her good grades and be always a consistent honor. She knows to read well, be able to pronounce the word correctly and quite good to spell out words. She’s really a fast learner.

By this time, she was one as the chosen from her class to deliver a speech and I’m happy for her coz she was qualified for the elimination. Well, that’s a good chance for her to expose and experience on facing the crowd. I like the way she did of exposing herself in facing people. Even if she will not be the winner but exposure is the best for students like her. She also joined the Chinese speech. How I wish she can make it also.

I am just wishing her all the good things for my one and only daughter and aiming that she will gained more confidence to herself.

What a wonderful day with my kids today. They woke up this morning as early as 6 am then they go hurriedly to the park and running around. After 15 minutes, they took their breakfast and right after they watch their favourite cartoon movies Pokemon which was I bought recently.

Pokemon is one of the most fascinating game that they were hooked right now. They really rendered time to finished all the movies in one CD  but I limit their time coz I’m worried if they will take so much time on watching dvds to make their eyes rest for awhile by playing in the playground.





Here are some captured photos taken from Kate’s birthday.Her simple birthday party makes her so happy all day long.The party was informal and  well not prepared. I just amazed when more than 30 kids were there but so happy that they enjoyed the party and with a smile receiving Kate’s party bags.

Tomorrow will be the birthday celebration of my one and only unica hija. Kate is turning 8 years old tomorrow that’s June 14. It was a planned before to give her a birthday at Jolibee Bajada but since I am financially deficit coz I spend all the money with their costly books. The second option is to hold her birthday at the house. Well, I guess it’s more lively that all their neighboorhood friends, classmates can join the party since it’s unlimited. Kate prefer to hold her party in our residence with fun and games.Yesterday, I bought some toys already for parlor games give-aways. This afternoon, I’ll be going to the mall to buy another sets of toys and groceries for tomorrows party celebration.

The more kids at the party, the merrier!

My 2 kids are getting ready now for their school orientation for tomorrow. They sleep as early as 7:30pm but before that they are fixing their things. Their school things are very new which I bought last saturday that is the reason why they keep on touching all those school stuffs. I guess that is the attitude of a kid, when they have new things they are really eager to see it from time to time.

By tomorrow, they have to wear casual clothes first since it’s only an orientation day for all students but on the following day everything is in complete uniform.

Right this afternoon, Kate and Kon were very much to see their classmates, old friends and teachers as what they told me.

It’s time for me to sleep early and wake up early as early as 5:30am for me to prepare their meals, their school stuffs. So starting tomorrow, I’ll doing my task as a nanny to them hehe!!

Good luck to your studies kids!!

School opening is getting near. My 2 kids were already enrolled but I don’t still buy new schools stuffs for them. Lately, I am checking some of their old uniforms and repair some needed to patch up. Kate was getting fat at this time since she keeps on eating any kind food she loves to take in to her mouth. I can’t monitor it all since I am whole day at work. I guess old uniforms of Konkon is still okay since he is still slim like before. Because he’s so energetic, he can’t gained enough weight up to this time.

Maybe this weekend I will buy some of their school things since Kate keeps on reminding me to buy new things for her, The bag, pencil case, socks and everything.

June 10 is their orientation and it’s time for me to wake up early and be able to wake them up them as early as 530 a. m. and I have to prepare their meals, their things and the like.

School days are really costly . I have to pay their monthly tuitions, insurances, costly books. Thank God that I received 13 month pay the other day and it’s intended to their cost of books and other stuffs.

As a mother, I am always expecting the best education for my kids. Even it sounds costly , but real investment lies on the right education I can offer to my kids.
