Mamu

It was David's first day in school. I went home early so that I can come with him. He is a transfer student so I want to make sure that he knows where to go. It is also the first time the school service will go to our place. The service arrived early and we also pick up one more student. I was told that my son has a different service, he is not available so they are just told to pick my son up. 

After making sure that he is alright I went home and take a nap. I woke up around 2pm because I know he will be out by 2:30pm. I received a text message from my husband saying that the school service already left and is asking me if my son is with me. The service said there are no student left in the room when they left. I got worried and called the school immediately. A lady answered the line and give me a different number for preschool. Thank God, he is with the preschool teachers. I asked the school service to go back to school and pick my son. David arrived home as if nothing happen. When I asked him how's school, he said he liked it there. He said he likes the fishing toy that he is playing while waiting. 

Tomorrow it will be another day for him and this time it is his not a substitute who will pick him up. I hope everything will go well. 

This show is my son's favorite. His cousin actually has a DVD of Tom and Jerry which he used to watch the whole day every time he visits Mamu (his grandma). He never get tired watching the same story over and over again. My mom let me borrow the DVD when we moved since our antenna is not yet installed. At least David would have something to do if he wanted to watch. His slippers is actually Tom and Jerry.

I received a text message from Harrell Horne Integrated School that school will start this coming June 8. I went there last Monday to pick up my son's books and also to buy school uniform. We also went to National bookstore to buy some items that he need for school. I prepared his bag and also put plastic cover on all his books. I called the school to ask about the school service and I was told to call back on Monday. I don't see the excitement in David but I hope everything will be alright when the school starts.

Yesterday David went to me while he was crying. He cried because his dad got mad at him because he did not remove the plug of the computer after playing. Anyway he went to me not because of that. Out of the blue he said if he get 1st, 2nd or 3rd honor after the school year he would like to get a rechargeable toy car that we saw in toy kingdom. It looks like the picture on the left. I told him yes even though I am not sure yet if I will be able to afford it. It can cost from P5000-up. I also told him maybe he would like to get the manual pedal car which doesn't use battery. It is quite cheaper but still very expensive. The one I saw before I think is around P4000. It looks like the 2nd picture on the left. I am quite sad because when he got 2nd place in kindergarten I was not able to buy him something special. Something that he would like to get. As much as I wanted to, my budget would not allow me. I hope this coming school year he would get good grades again and hope this time I could buy him something special.

Spring is just around the corner and it is a great idea to have outdoor furniture. Since our space outside is small, I guess this Outdoor Perched Bird Bench from Pier 1 would be a good waiting bench for our visitor. Since it is made of metal it is really good for outdoor use. I really like its design and currently they are giving a discount on this. Price is down to $229.99 from $249.95.

I would like to accent that with this green cushion. Its green color is so vibrant and I am really a fan of green. This cushion is only $60 and I think it would also fit on our rattan chair inside our living room. 

 

If you love bargain just like me here are some items that you can consider to get. These items are really good either outside or inside your house. If I have extra money I would definitely buy them.

 

I would like to have this wooden coat rack. Its original price is $139.95 and now its only $99.99. I would like to put this just outside our door. 

For those of you who have small space this would be a good corner shelf. Now its only $99.98 from its original price of 129.95

This decorative umbrella stand is not on sale but I really find it attractive. This only cost $49.95.

Recently due to lots of problem I easily became irate specially with my child. I feel sorry about it but I was not able to say sorry to him. I am planning to give him a hug and say sorry for being too hot tempered. I thank God for my child's love to me never change. I was able to see in him how a child obeys his parents. Even if he is busy playing and I asked him to get something, he would run and get that for me. No matter what he is doing he would go to us if we call him even if he is crying because he is watching a cartoon show. Sometimes I see in him how disobedient I am and how an adult don't have the love of a child. An adult used to keep hate and anger and I don't see that in him. Truly the love of a child is pure and unconditional. 

Last Sunday was my nephew's birthday celebration. We went to Circle Island Resort which is very near our place. The resort is really crowded but it looks like everybody are having fun. I did not join them in the pool because I don't want to fall in line in the bathroom afterwards hehehe. I even saw my officemate Zosi along with his two kids. 

David who always stays on the stairs of the pool every time we went to a swimming now is having fun moving around the pool. Good thing there is a pool there just for kids. His cousin is not afraid of the pool, at first David doesnt want to have a splash at all. His dad try convince him and after a while olah! He now goes up and down the pool by himself. Good job to you my son, I hope next time we have another splash you will still have the courage to go back to the pool just like what you did.

I am quite sad that I was not able to enroll David to the VBS (Vacation Bible School) in CCF Alabang. The fee is affordable for only P350 for 6 days. However, the expense of travelling back and forth, bringing him in the church and going back home would cost me around P1200, which is no longer on my budget. Haaaysss.... Good thing he have his cousins as his playmates which makes his vacation fun. I hope by next year he would be able to join VBS or maybe enroll in a summer sport activity. 

Last March 31, 2011 my son David graduated in Kindergarten. He was 2nd honor in class and also got Most Active Award, Best in Math and Best in Language award. Mommy and Daddy is very proud of you.
