Mamu

Just got a letter from my son's diary about RCBC offering a saving account for kids starting at P100. Well not bad for my little boy to start and learn how to save money. I want him to understand the value of money. I think they will have a visit at their school on Thursday and I would ask my husband to be there to open account for David.

My kids was not able to attend the trick or treat last year in our subdivision so this year I made sure they are able to participate. The registration is only P20. My little Rhaine wore peter pan's costume which her kuya used when he was 3yrs old. Her Kuya David wore his Taiwanese costume he used in school before. I bought them pumpkin basket to collect candies. I was surprised to see lots of kids in our subdivision. To my estimate its around 100 who participated. Its fun to see little children with different costumes. I though its gonna be less than 50 so we only prepared 40 packs of assorted candies. I even asked my husband to unpack it to be able to give everyone. Not everyone in the subdivision participated in giving candies but my kids was able to have their pumpkin basket almost half full. For sure next year they will join again, I just hope that the program would be more organized and in a bigger place.

Last year Rhaine undergone operation due to multiple stye. I thought everything is ok now but to my surprise she had another one again on her right eye. This time it is much bigger compare before. She was given oral antibiotic (Cloxacillin) due to the puss and an eye ointment (Erythromycin). She will take this medicines for a week and we will visit the doctor again this coming Monday.

We've been through 3 or 4 different opthalmologist but no one give us a remedy on how to avoid stye. They just keep on telling us what causes stye which is blockage of the pores on the eye. It is somewhat similar to having acne or pimple. If the pores got block and bacteria was able to come in then the stye forms. Haaays.... my husband is thinking that her hair is one of the cause; he even mention of cutting her hair which I don't like. She's only 3 years old and I hope and I pray that as she grow up she would overcome this stye problem.

ZZ top will have a show this October until December 2012, hurry grab your ZZ top concert tickets before it runs out. Also April of next year you can watch Coachella Music Festival, so reserve a seat now. And for those who is fan of Jack Johnson wait for jack johnson tickets. Music makes our life colorful.

Last week we noticed that the right eye of my 3 years old baby girl is reddish. After 3 days we decided to bring her to an ophthalmology. She had a history of multiple "kuliti" before and she even had a surgery. I was surprised that the doctor recommended an x-ray since it can be a lung problem. I checked what the diagnosis and I read phlyctenular disease. I started searching online and it looks like around 70% of patient diagnosed is related to tubercolosis. That gives me a little nervous even though I know it can be treated. The doctor also give her Tobramycin eye drop, we are advised to use it every 3 hours whenever she is awake. The first day we started using it, her red eye got cleared. We went back to the doctor yesterday and thank God, she doesn't have any issue with her lungs and it is just an eye irritation. Thank you Lord for protecting my kids and my whole family.

It was my son's field trip last August 28. Originally it was scheduled last August 16 but due to bad weather it was moved, good thing I was able also to move my vacation leave. Last year we went to Ayala Museum and Ocean Park in Manila. This year its another Ocean Adventure but this time in Pampanga. Its a long travel but its fun and exciting. We left Harrell Horne I think around 6:00 am. Our first visit was in Nayong Pilipino sa Clark. There we saw the replica of Barasoin Church, Emilio Aguinaldo's house and also the houses of our "ninuno", the aetas. There we bought a small magic spring toy, Davids cap a red shawl for me.

Next stop over is Ocean Adventure where we spent the whole day. We had our free lunch there which is pork adobo and chicken with sweet sauce plus iced tea. We are able to watch tree shows, first is how to survive in the jungle and they feature some animals like snake, bat, rat etc. Next is the dolphin show followed by the sea lion show. There we are able to buy a dolphin and a fish ref magnet as souvenir, also a snake toy and a frog stuff toy for my little girl. Last stop was at duty free but we just stayed on the bus to take a rest. We arrive at home around 11pm. It was a tiring day but really fun and educational.

I enrolled David for 6 Saturday session for Math tutorial. Unfortunately this Saturday he was absent due to cough and fever. I remember when he was still a toddler he always get confined in the hospital due to cough and fever too. I wonder if he really has poor lungs. I did not bring him to the doctor and we just bought Calpol for his fever and phlemex for his cough. I hope he gets well before the class resume this coming Wednesday. We still need to study for his up coming periodical test.

I'm a little disappointed with my sons first monthly exam result. Though he doesnt have a failing grade most of his exams are in line of 8 (ex. 83,85, 89). Before when he was in preschool his exams are always in 90's if not perfect. I don't know if he is having a hard or just losing focus. I remember when I was in grade 1 then I study on my own and make my home work without any help from my parents. 

When I review him it looks like he understand everything but when I check his exams he forgets little things and sometimes mixed things up. I guess he needs more nutritious food, not sure. He no longer milk and most of the meal that he eat are processed food like hotdogs, luncheon meat, tocino, longganisa etc. 

While doing assignments for the past week. I noticed that David doesn't enjoy much reading and writing. Due to this sometimes he don't finish their school activity on time and mostly he have low score when it comes to answering questions on short story. I think he got it from me, me too I don't love reading. I wonder what do I do to help him improve on this. We are now in computer world and what he enjoys doing are playing games online and on his Ipad.
