when miggy was a baby, we used to call him miggy boy ... we still do but with two younger siblings, more often he's referred to as kuya now ... anyway, this afternoon, while waiting for the bus, i was teasing him and was singing "miggy boy, ba-boy!" ...

miggy's sick for 3 days now ... he didn't eat anything yesterday so i had to skip work today to make sure he rehydrate and recover ...in the afternoon, the kids and i were in bed and we were just chatting ... i asked them if they know where jesus lives ... gabie said he's "far away" ... miggy said, in a very hoarse voice =( "no, he's in our hearts" ... impressive ... i said, "yes, kuya is right.

yesterday, while i was resting in my room, miggy came to me with a very serious and worried look ...miggy: mama, there's a letter missing in the alphabet song!me: what??? what missing letter?

earlier, at the dinner table, gabie was eating using only his right hand ... he's not using the fork, as usual ...since he is making a lot of mess, i reminded him, "gabie, use your 2 hands when eating."and he did ... he used his two hands to hold the spoon!i was hoping he'd use his left hand for the fork ... lol ...lesson learned: when dealing with kids, be specific ... be very specific ...^_^

i was playing with yoville in facebook earlier when mikee came to me and told me she also wants to play with the bunny ... it didn't take much for me to understand what she meant ... i knew right away that she meant pet society ... miggy's been playing with it a lot this past weekend ...and since i don't have a pet society account, i asked miggy to lend mikee his pet for a while until i've

last friday, i had a good bargain when i bought 3 books for the kids for only $10. i got miggy a special 50th year edition of the guinness book of world records, i got gabie a pokemon template book, and mikee a classic children's bible. and it was a really good bargain coz the kids simply love the books.yesterday, miggy was reading the children's bible when suddenly, he asked me ...

we started about 30 minutes late but just the same, we voted! and not just lights, we turned off all the electricity at home for an hour. as i said, we didn't start at 8:30, but we made sure it lasted for an hour.so how do you make 3 kids (aged 8, 5, and 3) vote for mother earth?after turning off the lights, i brought the kids into the bedroom and i started telling them about earth hour. i began

yesterday, i went for a parent-teacher-meeting in miggy's school to know how he's been doing so far in primary 2. generally, the feedback is quite good. academically, he's doing well. i even learned from his form teacher (philippine counterpart: class adviser) that he had the best marks in class for his english exams. i'd say, wow! considering that around this time last year, i learned that he

when mikee started in pre-school, i bought her this really cute hello kitty bag. she liked it so much coz she's at a stage where she's starting to appreciate everything pink and hello kitty.after a month in pre-school, her teacher talked to me and told me to replace mikee's bag. i was like, what the?!?!?! of course, i didn't say that out loud to the teacher, but i surely asked her, "what's wrong

last week, miggy asked me to sign his school work. it was an english composition that he wrote. the title was my pet migz, the puffle.i would say that miggy is definitely improving with his writing. i think for an eight-year-old, he's doing really good in writing. even his teacher agrees that with just a little more effort, his writing would be perfect. you can read about his composition in his

mikee's been having some chinese lessons in her nursery class. i can tell that she's really interested in the language. at home, she would often recite the phrases that she learned in school. sometimes, she would even attempt to teach me some of the phrases and would even correct me when my pronunciations are wrong. oh and do i have to mention that i have absolutely no idea whether the phrases

yesterday morning, when miggy woke up, he had a fever. i'm not sure what happened to him. i don't think it could be viral 'coz if it was, then he would have passed it to one of us by now. and no one else was sick at home. and he never went out the house during the weekend.anyway, he was sick in bed all day. i spent most of last night awake to monitor his condition. luckily, it's a public holiday

(punching sounds here)later in the afternoon, i saw mikee playing with the same two action figures. and here's her own monologue ...ultraman tiga:

over the weekend, gabie was telling me what he wanted for his birthday (next week). all the while miggy was busy with something else. but at the mention of the word birthday, he suddenly perked up and asked me about his birthday.having had too much of miggy's birthday last week, gabie exclaimed, "kuya, you're birthday is soooooo over!"and to this miggy replied, "gabie, stop talking like a girl!"

one of the reasons we prefer singapore to be our home away from home is the quality of education here. i always say that in singapore, my kids can have world class education for just a few dollars every month. and to us, that means a lot.however, one of the challenges that the kids face in studying here is mandarin. kids here are required to study a mother tongue language. and the only languages

last night, espn was showing a classic chicago bulls vs. utah jazz finals game. i cannot remember from which season/year it was. although, i do remember watching it when i was in college which was uhmm about uhmm xx years ago hahaha.anyway, i thought it was a great opportunity for me to introduce to my 2 boys the greatest basketball player ever, at least for me. so, i called the boys and told

for this week's photohunt, i'm introducing ... jollibee!if the world has mcdonald's, the philippines have jollibee. jollibee is the philippines' answer to mcdonald's. and in the philippines, it's even bigger than mcdonald's. especially to the kids. you ask a filipino child what he/she prefers, jollibee or mcdonald's. i bet the answer would be jollibee. i guess it's because it caters well to the

this week's litratong pinoy theme is mahalagang regalo. regalo is gift in english. depending on how it is used, mahalaga could have a number of translations. it could be important or valuable or expensive. so for my take on this week's theme, mahalagang regalo is an expensive gift.last christmas, i gave gabie a nintendo ds lite with about 50 different games. he loved it so much that it would

when gabie was about 2 years old, he was a big fan of bob the builder. on his 2nd birthday, the theme was, you guessed it, bob the builder. but i kind of tweaked it a bit and made it gab the builder. that was a fun party for him.now, almost 2 years later, thomas and friends has already replaced bob the builder in his heart. but, i think gab the builder still fits gabie very well. he simply loves

what do you think about mikee's clothes? nothing fancy, right? really nothing to rave about. but, do you see that pink ribbon tied around her waist? that doesn't really come with this sundress.you see, when i came home from work today, that little ribbon caught my attention. when i saw it, i thought "oh dear. it seems i do have a little fashionista!"i can imagine her finding that ribbon and

last week, i learned from miggy that the lady cleaner of our building gave mikee a hello kitty tin box and a small stuffed duck toy. i thought, wow she's really nice to give mikee those things.then, i learned that my mom won't let mikee touch those things. my mom said that, yes, this lady is very fond of mikee. but she is concerned that those stuff may not be clean. I mean they are clean, but not

for this week's litratong pinoy theme, i will have to re-post about miggy's award in school. i know it's becoming quite redundant now and i maybe sounding like a broken record. but this week's theme is victory/success and let me share to you why this is victory for miggy and me. first, let me warn you that this could be a long one.when the schoolyear began, miggy got sick on the second day of the

it's already past midnight and my little mikee is still awake. i told her to go to sleep but she said she can't because her sunglasses are missing.oh yes, you read it right. my little girl can't go to sleep without her sunglasses. she loves her sunglasses so much she'd wear it all day. and she doesn't really wear it to cover her eyes. oh no. she wears it just like a headband.as my hubby puts it,

i haven't posted on this blog because of these.and because of these, i am a bit late in posting about miggy's award in school. anyway, as i mentioned in a previous post, miggy received an award in school. he was given the best in progress award.i was so proud of him as he was walking on the stage. as i've written before, academics is very tough here in singapore. so for a student to receive an

this week's theme for litratong pinoy is maalaala mo kaya? (will you remember?). and the photo below is a photo of the kids taken during their first trip to the philippines early this year. well, it was a first for the gabie and mikee. miggy's last visit to the prior to this was in 2003 when he was only 2 years old. hence, the trip was really memorable for them as it meant a lot of firsts for

i have some grammar issues here ... what do you call an award for someone who made the most progress, say, in a given schoolyear? is it best progress or best in progress? i remember when i was in elementary and high school, awards were given for the student who's best in science, best in mathematics, best in english, etc. so, should it be best in progress? it sure sounds wrong to me. but, best

j here's an update about miggy. his cast was already removed last wednesday. thank god! though he is still limping a bit. according to him it doesn't hurt anymore when he walks, but it does when he moves around. hmmm i wonder what he means. anyway, we have an open appointment with the children's hospital so we can take him back when necessary.j i'll be on leave this coming week!!! yippeeee!!!
