Home Schooling
2008-01-10 08:20:00
Minnie forwarded me a link about 10 Principles of Schooling written by Bo Sanchez. Naisip ko na yan eh pero hindi ko pa lang masyadong sineseryoso. Napagusapan na rin yan ng mga Misis sometime ago. First of, I'm currently employed so masyado yatang challenging sakin ang time management pag nagkataon. Eh I'm planning to work pa naman until I'm 35yo so that's five years from now eh di 6yo na si Dani non, gusto ko sana pag 4yo na sya start na kami.I'm actually planning to enroll Dani in TLG Alabang this year (kelly yan po sana yung tatanungin ko sayo hehe) pero i've yet to discuss it with Hubby. Akala nya yata as in sa school ko sya ie-enroll :D Also, kelangan magbudget-budget muna heheIn any case, I'll do more research on home schooling. I have an inkling this is something for me and Dani. We'll see baka naman ako lang ang may gusto haha

Boo to Zoo
2008-01-09 01:08:00
I hate to see them caged but there's no other way I can see the animals lest my family and I go on a safari ;p goodluck kung makita namin lahat ng animals dun diba :p i fancy the thought sometimes, it would be a great adventure but the chances of that trip happening is far fro possible. now don't go telling me to go to zoobic ;p its quite close to the real thing but not quite the same thing. if you know what i mean ;)anyways, i wont go into animal rights and how we humans violate them or go rallying for shutting down of zoos or shows. personally, its ok to put up a zoo for business but with consideration to the animals' welfare. now as for shows, i can manage not to see animals doing their human-like tricks ;)on to the ark avilon snake biting issue. an email has be forwarded to n@w group warning the members of the incident. I haven't really researched on the details yet. Was it an albino snake that did the biting or the red, black & white thin stripped snake shown in GMA new...

Yesterday I tried sorting out photos for printing hopefully within the week. Wasn't able to finish and now I have these to add: Hubby's tita gave this snowman chair among with other pasalubong. At first dani was hesitant to sit down on it pero ayan, kita mo naman enjoy na sya :DThis photo naman was taken sunday late morning. She's wearing her one and only shades she's worn here.Di nagtagal, eto na itsura nya..ayaw na magpapicture hehe :D bilib ako sa anak ko, ang galing um-acting! ;)Saturday afternoon, we just went to SM Dasma to buy some groceries. We passed by San Jose Cabinets and bought this dish organizer (P5k+). They said it was originally priced at P10K :D Pagbalik sa bahay hubby got excited dinispose na agad ang lumang dish dispenser at naglinis ng hindi oras. Ako? Ano naman ang ginawa ko? E di ba nga nagsort ng photos for printing ;)

Carpool
2008-01-07 15:32:00
Are you aware that the terminal at park square fronting landmark is already close? Another upper class hotel will soon rise on the said area. These my dear has a great impact on pitiful commuters like me. So hubby and I got to thinking maybe we ought to buy a bigger vehicle and use it for car pooling or as a transport service instead. Our route would be Dasma-Ayala-Dasma twice a day, one in the morning and after office hours. Practically we prefer Used Cars but in very good condition. Almost all local forums have buy and sell thread so it will not be hard to search for potential cars online. There is a huge collection of used cars at BuyYourCar. The site has a simple searching facility where one can enter the preferred make and model of the car as well as color, price, price range and target location to derive the desired shortlisted cars. Results can be sorted by Latest Offers, Distance, Lowest or Highest Price.I find their Buying Advise section quite useful. It provides a...

Yaya Concerns
2007-12-29 15:22:00
I'm writing this because 1) she's asleep already and 2) just so i wont forget about these concerns.randomly:natutuwa ako kasi she adores dani and i let her hug and kiss my baby. i've read some mommies doesn't allow their yayas to do so. anyway, she even makes harot with her which is a good thing kasi maharot talaga anak ko. kaso sometimes i worry kasi parang mabigat kamay nya, baka pag kinikiliti nya si dani masyadong madiin or masyado na yung rough-housing nila. sometimes kasi she doesn't stop immediatey pag sinabi na ni dani na ayaw na nya.nung nasa nova kami, she'll sometimes update me and make kwento about dani and gerah na kesyo nagaaway gnun. like one time nakakandong si dani kay mil and dani doesn't want gerah to make lambing to mil at the same time. but of course gerah being her naughty self (and i also understand she also wants mil attention) she insisted to share mil's lap. so according to yaya, paglumalapit si gerah, sinasabunutan daw ni dani si gerah. now...

Last working day for 2008

I cancelled my VL since I thought I will be able to accomplish some stuffs before the year ends. Morning i was able to catch up with some mails. Had a saisaki lunch buffet, a despidida of sorts for our of our BAs. Thanks to my dear friend, Olgs. We chatted the whole afternoon. Not much luck.I've read about this planner in paultoni's blog and eventually after office went to powerbooks greenbelt to buy one. Already I'm looking forward to try something different and use the free special waxing service coupon next year ;) Pray I'll be able to maximize whatever this planner has to offer ;)Afterwards, we went to Rustans to look for something to buy for Dani. I have sodexho GCs which I can use there. Yun talaga intention ko, ang magamit na yung mga GCs bago ko pa makalimutan at magexpire (though dec08 pa expiration hihi). Can't wait for Dani to see her new stuffs. Will post photos soon once we're back home na. We'll be leaving tomorrow. I miss na rin our house and our...

First Communion
2007-12-28 00:24:00
I am a bit to surprised that there is such a thing as first communion invitations. I could barely remember my first communion. I was seven then, the usual age where one gets to finally have a piece of christ’s body. I do remember feeling more adult-like afterwards. Dressed in my white gala, we just attended the mass and went home.

Cold December
2007-12-28 00:15:00
I don’t think I could ever live in Alaska or any place where one would need volcom clothing. I would surely love to experience snow and see an iceberg or stand on miles and miles of ice, still living on extremely cold temperature is another thing. For now, I relish every cold breeze coming our way for the first quarter of 2008.

Ark of Avilon: Kwento Galore
2007-12-27 14:14:00
Can we agree to call it Avilon’s Ark? heheAnyways, I’ve been itching to pay the place a visit since I’ve read about it at Anton’s blog. Dec. 25, we went to my parents place to celebrate Christmas as we’ve already spent our Noche Buena at my in laws.While having lunch, my mom told us she wants us to visit our uncle in pasig. Aha, perfect chance for us to go to the zoo, lapit lang kasi yun dun. So I immediately told my siblings about it and they too agreed that it might be a good family pasyalan. For one, it’s a great family photo opp since we have perfect attendance. Also, we’re pretty sure that Dani and her cousin Zack, who both love animals, will be able to have fun and enjoy the said place.Though we left our uncle with slightly a heavy heart, by 4pm we decided to head on to the zoo. I was quite worried they might be closed already by the time we arrived. Diba nakakahinayang naman yun. We got there by 4:30pm and had no difficulty finding a parking space. Sa l...

RnB at HardRock Cafe
2007-12-21 18:03:00
Hubby’s Company Christmas party was held tonight at Hard Rock Café. They had an RnB theme. Even before I was already thinking of his costume despite his lack of enthusiasm about wearing one. After office, I didn’t bother looking at men's jewelry section as I know cheap bling blings and ear studs can be found in women’s. I was able to hand it over to hubby just in time. Still, he didn’t win as best in costume. Good thing people had a good laugh at their group presentation and eventually won.

Six days to go..
2007-12-19 01:18:00
I'm still not done with my list. I'm not even half way through :( kahapon kasi nasa e-pldt kami for our BCP testing. Monday I was on leave naman kasi Dani had fever. Sunday afternoon, nahulog kasi sya sa sofa and I just saw her on her tummy crying. We suspect she was hurt in a way, baka may naipit na ugat or something. That night, she had chills grabe.Monday morning, pumunta kami sa pedia ni gerah since nasa nova kami ngayon. She just prescribed anti-biotic (man! a 30ml costs P500+). We were supposed to provide urine sample for urinalysis, pero ang hirap pala. Kahit anong encourage gawin namin kay dani to wiwi, hindi pa talaga sya marunong eh. So we went home and decided to collect the sample at home na lang tapos bring it back to the clinic later. Hapon, dumating yung maghihilot and after that parang guminhawa na pakiramdam ni dani. She was her old self na unlike earlier she's so clingy and wants to be carried only by me. After that hindi na kami nagpaurinalysis. L...

For the past years, we weren't able to go to Star City . My SIL and BIL promised my niece, gerah, a fun trip at the said theme park for her birthday. So off we went Saturday night, braced the traffic and queued for tickets. We just bought entrance tickets (P60) since we're with Dani and I don't think I'll have fun just yet. I can't wait til she can appreciate kiddie rides :D Meanwhile, gerah and her dad barely made use of their ride-all-you-can tickets (P450+SnowWorld). Gerah got scared from dimly lit shows, sayang nga. They were able to peek at snow world, silip lang kasi sobrang lamig daw talaga hindi nila natagalan. We didn't get tickets kasi it's not advisable daw for 1yr old toddlers.Dani naman doesn't want to be near any props whether be it a giant ant or dwarves or the mummy haha tindi ng kapit. Ayaw din nya sa mga rides with tokens. She did enjoy the "metro train" turning the stirring wheel over and over provided na hindi sya gumagalaw. Hmm.. matipid ang ana...

nothing beats that right?! So I went by Apple's blog to bite a bit (hehe) and found out about an opportunity for free food and good company c/o Yehey and the Ayala Malls. Of course golf course, I did register even if I know I will end up at the bottom of the list, which suffice it to say is already at 150. The said event has been rescheduled on January 9, next year.So why am I even bothering to tell you guys about it if only 100pax will get in. Just so you know that pinoy blogsphere is getting interesting by the day. Free bies are thrown here and there in exchange of word of mouth. its a win-win situation :D like i always say, there's no harm in benefiting from blogging naman diba? :D Kakatuwa lang din :D

Kaya nga nakapili na ang videocam sa projects next year kasi syempre iba pa rin if you can see your child doing her thing diba :DNga pala, since hindi kami nakasama sa EK with hubby, pupunta na lang dapat kami kay Dra for Dani's monthly checkup and meningo shot. Usually pumupunta kami dun by 11am. Kaso nakatulog si Dani at nagising ng mga 1pm na. I texted Dra asking her how much yung shot (P2K daw) kaso she's not in her clinic na daw so next week na lang kami punta ulit. So ang siste, nagpunta na lang kami ni dani, kasama si yaya rosel, sa SM Dasma at nag-malling :D Before going, I even made a list which mostly consists of Dani's stuffs heheNasa SM kami ng 2pm and was there until 10pm.
