She makes me smile proudly again. (grinning)
Friday was “getting of cards” day and the teacher told me that she saw her grades ahead of me and that she was so happy and excited. When i checked it out, i discovered that all her grades have increased several places except for her English subject.
The subjects are as follows:
- Bible – 94 – 98
- English – 95 – 95
- Filipino – 96 – 97
- Mathematics – 96 – 97
- Science and Health – 94 – 97
- Heograpia – 95 – 96
- MSEP – 93 – 95
- EPP – 90 – 93
- GMRC – 90 – 93
She was happy herself because for the past years instead of increasing, her grades goes 1 step down and that will go on until the last grading. Seeing the difference now, i told her that i hope she will increase it by the third grading. If not increase, at least maintain the current grade.
I fed her all that as a treat for her good work daw. lol! I was salivating watching her eat. I was on a diet ya know so i was just watching. hahaha (just kidding)
Most of the times, people at home stay up late until the last teleserye on TV is aired. But during weekends the programs are different. Since my daughter was killing her time on TV – i told her that we do her laundry together. She does the soaping and i do the rinsing. AT 11 pm that evening, with the water flowing much and freely, i asked her that we do the laundry together. And we did! It was fun. We finished her laundry around 2 am. I was too tired to get up at 5 am to play badminton yet i have a satisfying feeling in my heart. Maybe i will do it again in the coming weeks. 
For Dimple, she had the luxury of sleeping until 8 am.
A sharing of photos right out of the camera. No alteration color and hues.
I wish they gonna stay small forever. My baby is now almost a lady but will always be a baby in my heart.
I did not have any exciting weekend photos for the past weeks. My activities happens during the week and the week-end is mostly spent at home. But for the last 2 Sundays, i was at work since the Doctoral class started already.
The photo shared here is of my daughter. The two photos were taken same place, same day, and i think almost same time. hehehe. This was taken last Sunday when they went for an afternoon swim. She loves swimming. And she loves to stay endless hours in the beach. If i enjoyed being at home inside my bedroom, that’s how much she enjoys the outdoors especially the beach or any swimming activity. I am pretty sure she had really a lot of fun because when she arrives home, she sleeps so quick.
This is my sister feeling so mommy in this photo. This is just one of the many pics we took yesterday.
I was getting ready for church when my sis called that they she and her baby are coming for a visit. She meant for me to be at home when they arrived so my church plans were canceled. So that is my sis and her few-days off to be 1 month old baby Gab. I ended being a nanny from 10 am until almost 7 pm. It was like a full time nanny coz my sis had the chance to get online to check her mails and roam around the friendster world.
Weekly Round-up
Sunday was full of activities. It was the graduation day at my daughter’s school and i have to be there though she is not graduating because it was also the awarding ceremony. I was one proud mommy that moment as she got 2 silver medals. I feel she is a bit disappointed of one of the medals but she promised me that next year she hopes to have more medals and hopefully golds. 
I am glad she realized that she was laxed in her studies.
After Sunday, I was looking forward to Monday because of the enrolment. All was just easy not until Thursday when it was time to enroll the third year level and the second year. I feel so proud feeling i the hang of working front line in an office in charge for enrollment. I will forever remember this experience because i think it might be my only experience serving the students during enrolment time. Last Thursday i discovered or was told that i will be moved back to the office where i came from because am still needed in that office. Actually when i left, they never put a permanent replacement in there so for the past 2 months there were times when i have to work matters for the old office at the same time performing task for my current one.
Oh well, i feel some of my workmates are not yet used to my current post then soon they gonna find me sitting back at my desk at the Admin Office so i would understand their confused stare. lol
I feel it was a quick week for me…and am so thankful to God for so many blessings.
I hope everyone had fabulous week!

NOVEMBER 7 -Do you celebrate anniversaries? How? In all my relationships (i think except the man i married) anniversaries are special dates. If time does can’t let us have a celebration, special greetings will do like anniv cards and maybe a candy or two will go along with it. In my current LO, for our first 2 years, i was still in China, the anniversary is being celebrated with cakes and wine and pasta. And i buy lots of flowers too and we celebrate it together – he inside the pc screen and me on the table, tasting the wine and eating some of the cakes. I eat half of the cake and put away in the ref half of it and freeze them til he makes it to China. Sadly he did not, so that frozen cake was thrown away from some months. lol! Now that am back in my homeland and he is still out there, we just greet each other and when we have the chance to meet in real – we celebrate all the special dates in our relationship (pakyawan).

If there’s one greatest gift that you ever received in your life, what is that? My mom. The mom i have. She may not be perfect, but i am so proud and thankful that she is my mom or else i won’t be here blogging and answering this meme question and having children that calls me mommy because am “really” their mom.
OCTOBER 24
Were you taught and trained to do the household chores at a very young age? If yes, would you implement the same to your children? Yes, we were or I am. Am the eldest i have to learn earlier that in my elementary years, i can be a doting mom to my siblings because my mom is a working mom. hehehe. I can remember we have house-hold assignment list pasted in one of the corners of the kitchen that we have to do it before going to school in the morning and beofre eating dinner in the evening. I thought that time i got a devil mom because she let us work hard while other kids in the neighborhood play and play. But later at 14 when me and my sister were off to a boarding school and we have to cook our food, i did well. I have to fed my sister for 4 years in boarding school and my bro for 2 years. Would i implement to my children? I do want to but my kid is now at a situation where almost everyone will do things for her, especially the grandma. I even mused to myself how come my mom was not able to train my child well when it comes to household chores, when she had done her best when me myself and my siblings were still young. oh well, i’d like to blame it on grandmahood. hehehe. Dimple is still not good in washing clothes even her undies and socks. She can’t arranged her clothes well nor fold them very well like i want to. But for cooking rice, as long as she measures water and rice well, she goes along fine. She can sweep the floor too.

Do you practice a time-out corner way to discipline your kids?
I have never tried that “time-out corner” as one of the ways in disciplining my kids because i’ve never seen my mom doing that to me and my siblings. But the procedure i think is good and can be very effective especially in controlling tantrum behaviors. I have known friends who make this time out corner and all they can say is that this is effective.
Since she did not have fever again last night, she was back to school today so that she won’t miss any quizzes. At 6 am, i find myself alone with her. I really wish for a set-up like this, just me and her in an everday life. I would wonder how will we get along with the household chores, but i think we would be doing ok.
My mom left for a meeting in CDO early today that is why at 6 I have to get up to check what we will have for breakfast. She was up too bt not before her grandma left so she was left wondering if her grandma carried some bottle of water or any food to really make her alright along the way. At 7:15 we both left the house.
IN the afternoon at 5, i tried to call home no one answered. So either of them are not yet home. I came home late because there was some farewell get together held at the “Admin” kitchen, so i have to stay back to overlook the place especially the after care so i just can’t go home at 5:30. Since i can’t get home late, i was wondering if she was home and what she will do home being alone. I got so many thoughts in mind that makes me at times tag myself as a no good mom. But i kept that thought aside instead strive hard to really become a good mom.
When i arrived home, she’s already in, reading, and my mom taking a shower. I carried some slices of choc cake and 2 pcs of cheesy puto (one for her and one for my mom) and she was happy.
It was good to be home!
Last tuesday as i was posting my entry, i was also learning at the same time a new thing with PS. I really like to share this because never had I imagine i could do this. But now i realized that with a little tutoring and a determination to learn, one can really learn.
Thanks to Rhoen for the patience in teaching me the steps to make these picture frames.
–am really happy that i was able to learn this kind of framing. these were what ive done after the tutorial. it’s a week ago today. from time to time, i tried to frame more pics. i have not yet memorized the steps, so i still look at my notes.
Another thing to make me a happy momma is that last Friday, i picked my daughter’s first grading card in school. It was not really the high of my standards but still better off then others. She got the highest grade of 95 and the lowest of 91. I have some doubts if that will still increase or not, but i hope it won’t go down anymore.
It was a good week, TT’s moms. Hope you too out there!

SEPTEMBER 5 – How would you rate yourself being a mother, 10 being the highest.
Wow thats’ a tough one and really i can’t rate myself as mom all in all because it’s often i would say am not a good mother being a mom on the go at that. I was not there for my children especially in their toddler years. Though i was there when they were born but not so long after that they were left to the care of my mother and my son to the care of my ex-hubs. It was a choice i can’t avoid. It’s should be my mom who will answer this question. hehehee. But if it calls for financial support, i surely got the highest rating. That’s the only reason why i was a mom on the go, why i missed those moments when i should be with my children.

Would you tell your children that they should only enter a relationship at a certain age {like most parents do}?
MY ANSWER:
- my parent’s did not tell me the exact age that i should start dating or go into a relationship but all i know is that it was not yet allowed during my highschool (especially for my father) but then sinuway ko yong kagustuhan nya, only him because i told mom everything if ever am into one. so with that experience i don’t have any plans of telling Dimple at what age she can go dating, but will not stop guiding her. although i can remember telling her one time that if “possible” she won’t get married unless she have a stable job already and got a house of her own. at least no matter what happens she got a home to go home to. i told her not to mind about me because i will also try to have a life of my own. and if she ever do that, i will be the most satisfied mom in this world. when i told her that, she just nodded her head.
