let me out!
2008-02-27 04:27:00 Since Mateo loves going outside now, he has also learned how to use our house keys. While we were outside our house a week ago, he got the keys from me and proceeded to use it on our padlock. I was amazed he knew how to use it because nobody taught him how. I guess ...
questions of the week
2008-02-27 04:04:00 I’ve been seeing this on Litzie’s blog. Just thought of answering it too. 1. Can you write with both hands? No. 2. Are you superstitious? No, I’m actually a big skeptic when it comes to superstitions. 3. What would be your dream job? A Lonely Planet travel writer because I’d get to travel a lot but to ... More About: Questions , Week
moving needs
2008-02-27 03:47:00 After moving to a house closer to our workplace, I realized that moving can be so difficult. I even had a bit of trouble looking for a moving truck we could hire. I tried several moving companies because of course, we wanted a reliable one. In a month or so, my sister would be moving ... More About: Moving
no to shades and hats
2008-02-27 03:45:00 Mateo looks absolutely adorable whenever he’s wearing his pair of shades and his hat. I have a problem though, he’d often wear it for about five seconds - long enough for people around him to appreciate and say ‘wow, gwapo’ and then he’d go about removing the shades and then the hat. Does anyone have ... More About: Hats , Mateo

our little gardener
2008-02-27 03:30:00 Mateo loves playing outside. I’d usually accompany him and even if he’s just walking around in our garage and front area, he’s happy already. He’d tinker with everything he can get his hands on while I just let him explore to his heart’s content. A few days ago, he was so taken by the small ... More About: Gardener , Mateo

For the just concluded three-day weekend, we were there last Saturday and Monday. Ramil and I used pass by the mall when we were still bf-gf. We’d meet every day from ...

home schooling
2008-02-27 02:19:00 We’ve had several students who’ve had home schooling before entering formal school.

This made me think of ... More About: Home

all things silver
2008-02-20 17:31:00 I had this penchant for anything silver before. I had lots of silver stuff - rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. It was heaven for me whenever we’d go to Baguio where there are a lot of silver things that can be bought for cheaper prices. I have a lot of mismatched earrings that I plan ...

getting Barney-fied
2008-02-19 09:04:00 I grew up watching Sesame Street and Batibot. Although I’ve heard of Barney , I never really knew him until I started teaching and met English-speaking (complete with a twang) grade-schoolers who grew up loving Barney. It seems that Barney has reached a kiddie star status close to that of Jollibee’s. Really, what’s with big butts ... More About: Motherhood , Mateo

a post-Valentine prom date
2008-02-15 06:12:00 Ramil and I were never the type of couple to celebrate Valentine s Day. Somehow, I never got all kilig with this particular day.

my first stint as a hairdresser
2008-02-05 17:19:00 For the longest time, Ramil and I have been nudging each other about what to do with Mateo ’s hair. When our little boy was about ten months old, I started seeing scratches inside his ear. It seems that he made them whenever his hair would go inside his ears and tickle him. So even before ...
