Mamu

Last Saturday I decided to watch The Avengers with my son, David and my hubby, Robin. It was after my graveyard shift we decided to wait for the first show at SM Molino. The mall opens at 10:00am and we arrived there maybe around 10:10am. All the four cinemas is showing The Avengers with different schedule, I think they have one hour interval. We watched the first show which starts at 10:20am. Good thing I asked the cashier to check my advantage points, the three of us was able to watch the movie for free. David requested for a big pack of cheese popcorn. I bought instead a package of large cheese popcorn + footlong sandwhich with two softdrinks. I also have with me a pack of 10pcs of small siopao which I bought from work. 

I haven't read the comics of Avengers but I am familiar with some of the heroes. I find the start of the movie quite slow but in the long run its very exciting. The effects are so great, maybe it would have been better if we watch it in 3D. Anyways I asked my husband to watch the 2nd show but then we are asked to go out because they have one screening policy. Nyek... I wonder why they have that since the theater is not even full. I remember we watch "Enteng ng Ina Mo" last December and they don't have that policy. Anyway... I enjoyed the movie but would like to see it again.

David is counting days before his birthday. He is really excited for his new gadget, maybe an itouch or an ipad. For the mean time he keeps on playing my iphone and this time he got hooked with the smurfs. Those cute little blue creatures, how lovely. 

My son will be in elementary this coming school year and just wanted to share how much the tuition is specially to those who are hunting for school. This is actually for grades 1 to 3. The books for grade 1 cost P5055 not sure with grades 2 and 3. Harrel Horne is in Pag-asa just beside the Maluto Medical Clinic.

My son David will turn seven this coming June. Commonly, people here in the Philippines will throw a party when the child is 1, 7 and 18 (for girls), 21 (for boys). I still remember when David turns one. We really don't have money even to cook spaghetti. Thanks to my mom and Tita Weng who prepared some food on two separate days to celebrate. That's a different story.... 

Recently I was able to buy a 2nd hand Iphone and David is enjoying playing games with it. Almost everyday, he and Rhaine would have a fight over it.  On his birthday I told him I would buy him an Itouch as a gift and he said "I want an Ipad." (hehe). We checked out some stores and find out that Ipad is about 19k and Itouch is around 12k. I told him that Ipad is too expensive and he agreed to have an Itouch. Few more months and I am looking forward to buy this for my little boy.

Last Saturday (March 24, 20212) was David's Graduation Day in Pre-school along with the Kinder accelerated to Grade 1. There are 66 total graduates for Pred and Kinder accelerated. I learned from the speaker that as parent we should at least spend few minutes of playtime and story time with our kids when they are small. She mention that our world today modern that communication can be everywhere but there are still lots of families with no communication. I know I am not a perfect mom but I do love my kids. Even David was not able to get honor this time I am still very proud of him. He was able to get one medal and one ribbon, Academic Achiever and Most Cooperative. After the event we eat dinner at Pizza Hut. Congrats David! and Thanks to Harrell Horne Integrated School for teaching and making my kid ready for grade 1.

It was David's last day of school yesterday. They were even asked to bring food for the farewell party. He brought pansit for the said event. He said there were lots of foods specially cakes. This would be his last graduation in pre-school and next year he would be in elementary. I am not sure yet if he has any award or honor this coming graduation since they just took their last exam before the farewell party. Anyway with honor or not I am proud of my son moving in to elementary. Love you, son.

Two weeks ago we celebrated my mom's birthday at Circle Island Resort. This is the first time David was able to use the life vest that he purchased from the money that he got last Christmas. He spend most of his time in the pool the whole day which caused him to be dark, hehe. With his life vest with no fear he would jump in the 6ft pool and enjoy swimming  much better. Before he would only spend his time at the stairs of the pool. But since he is only wearing sando he got rashes in his armpit I guess due to the life vest that keeps on rubbing into his armpit. My brother suggested to me to buy rash guard for David. I am thinking of enrolling him to swimming lesson this summer and I am thinking of buying him rash guard swim wear. I wonder how much it is.

David just had their exam last week. It was called CGAT. I wonder what it means. I think the AT means achievement test but I don't know what CG stands for. There exam was from their 3rd quarter lesson up to the latest topic. One more month and its going to be their graduation day. I am excited for him to enter the elementary level. Really school are advanced now a days and I am  happy that he is learning how to speak in english well too. I did not train him in english but I noticed recently that he uses english more frequent than before. Thanks to all his teachers, the school and the director of the school. I am looking forward of more fruitful years as we work as partners.

Its third grading period and I asked my husband to go to school to get my son's class card. He was told the school doesn't give out class card during the 3rd quarter but instead oblige the parents to go to school and talk to the adviser to have update about their kids. His teacher, Teacher Rose, says Ron was moved to advanced students since he is coping very well. However after that he started to lose his focus. He become noisy and lose attention with their school activities. Before he can  finish all activities the teacher ask him to do but now he doesnt. Teacher Rose also mention there was a time wherein he switch plus from minus and vise versa so the teacher asked him to do the test again and he was able to answer it well. Teacher decided to put David back to his previous seat. We need to help David focus on his studies whoever he seat with.  I guess that's what you call peer influence.
