Getting Ready for School

My daughter Lanchiel, who will turn two this coming November, wants to go school. We just saw her holding a bag, had interest in books, pen and paper. She thinks she will go to school then. But ooopss.. it's not yet time to go to school baby. According to studies, proper age for a child should go to school is 4 to 5 years old because the child then is ready physically, mentally and emotionally. 2 to 4 years old is the time the child needs to play. That is why you will go first to Mommy's house and play with Ate Yesha and Kuya Drei. Play with them and enjoy your being child with them. We should not rush things baby.

Problems with Group Work

I am a bit stressed with group work. Why? Because of their overconfidence that you can make it, it seems that they became dependent on you. I think the observation of our professor is right.

They can't even give their time, and they don't want to spend a penny from their pocket.What to expect with such nuisance!! I don't want to get mad to their action, but I am frank about my feelings. I am frank to say that they can't rely everything to 3 people, to think that we are 7 in a group. They are even telling, "Oh, I am busy with work", "I don't have time to open my email/facebook", "I have to go now, I am in a hurry, I don't have time for the meeting&quo

Back to School Nanay

I experienced someone (close to my heart) who discouraged me to go back to school and not to take a vocational course. I think she can't recall it, maybe she forgot it already. But on my part, the memory and emotions are still clear. I really want to be a Pastry Chef. There is something in me, pushing me to study again. That person is, by looking at the positive side, might be God's way for me not to become a Pastry Chef. Years after that incident, I decided to become a Back to School Nanay. I want to go to school again, there is something inside me that is always hungry, seeking for knowledge. But that drive gets weaker when I am in pain, in trouble, and in worry. I am in pain when I am leaving my daughter crying. I am in trouble when I want to read my notes but I can't make time. I am in worry if there is conflict of schedule, when I don't have enough money to spend. You might be thinking, you're full of worries, why did you continue that path? Maybe those
