I just wanted to insert this post in. This is about Luigi's summer class at Kindermusik by Teacher Jeannie and Company.




We had enrolled Luigi in this class last summer before he started preschool and we were very happy on how it had helped Luigi become more inclined to music, dance and crafts.

This class has really brought out the talent in him and we really hope to see this further in the coming years. Who knows, Luigi might just be a future "Voice of the Philippines" or a rock star. Hahaha!

Here is proof of Luigi as a pre-schooler. He has been going to school since June and we are so impressed with the great improvement he has shown in terms of sociability and speech.



On top of this, he is such a cutie in his school uniform. :-)

Like last year, the monsoon rains have visited us this August and we have experienced flooding again. Really, I had wanted the weather to change as soon as possible because the floods and rains are draining us with the repairs that need to be done caused by the leaking roof and gutters in the house.

I'm actually happy that it's already September and we are somewhat close to leaving the rainy season. Hopefully, there will be no more big storm or huddles in the coming weeks.

Speaking of September, this month is birthday month in the family. Zoe and Luigi will turn 7 and 4 years old, respectively. We are planning a simple Jollibee birthday to celebrate their birthdays. :-)

Strictly speaking, we would have wanted to give them a "bigger" birthday but then we have to keep in mind that we need to be prepared to tighten our belts some more for the coming of the new baby in January.

Well, maybe when Zoe turns 18 (in 11 years!) we can give her a big debut in a grand place with modern chandeliers and fancy food. Well, that's definitely a long time from now and something to aspire for in the coming years. :-)

Hi there blog! Long time no post. I wanted so much to do an update over this mini online space of mine but lately has been pretty busy (and what else is new).

I was browsing thru my camera photos and realized that I have not really been that "active" in using my cam for the past months. Blame it I guess on Instagram for changing avenues for photo-creativity. :-)

Anyway, even with my addiction to Instagram, I realize that there are still so many other stuff that needs to be officially documented here and not just thru the usual mobile apps.

Here is one picture that I'd like to share with you ----


Taken during Zoe's Grade 1 Recognition Day. She got a Gold Award and we are so proud of her. Keep it up, Zoe!

My mother in law had sufferred a stroke last, last week and she is slowly trying to recover from the effects of this. Although she can now talk, she lost control of her left hand and cannot stand up or walk for now. I really wish she will be able to fully recuperate and return to her old jolly self soon. Please include her always in your prayers.

As many of you know, it's never easy to have someone sick in the family. Aside from the time and effort needed to take care of a loved one, the family also needs to cope with the expenses on medicine and hospitalization. You are lucky if you have health coverage but for those who do not have that kind of benefit, we need to dig deep into our pockets to sustain the health of our family. For instances like these, some even need to use their precious property and resort to sites buying silver to get the money needed for the expenses. At any rate, hope we all can cope well soon. God will provide.

This 3rd pregnancy has been quite a rollercoaster ride.

I've gone for ultrasound for 6x in 2 months and I've been going full blast with medications and required rest.

So when the doctor told me last night that she wants to take it easy with me and just see her in two weeks instead of every week as in the past months, I was so glad. Hopefully, all other findings will clear up and everything will be just fine.

Anyway, with all that set aside, I am mostly geared up for growing this tummy and seeing a healthy bouncing (!) baby in January.

This one is the baby's picture at 7 weeks.

My son is officially a preschooler!

We enrolled Luigi in a progressive school near our home and he has had a blast so far. He is so happy to go to school and is very eager to meet new people and learn new things. I see this since he evidently looks so giddy coming going and coming home from school. He proudly shows me his "happy face" stamp which he always gets from his teacher and gives me too his wonderful artworks from school. One day, I asked him what he learned from school that day. He said in a recognizable tune - "Mom! My toes, my knees, my shoulders, my head!" I am so proud of him! Hopefully, he will be able to maintain that same interest in school and in learning for years to come. I'll be so happy as a singing mother goose!

Well, something or should I say SOMEONE has come up lately...

Luigi had already finished his first semester of Kindermusik and is eager to learn more! So we decided to enroll him for the Summer Classes under Our Time and he is really excited.



By the way, did I tell you guys that Luigi seems to be pitch-perfect? Sans his twisted 3-year old tongue (a.k.a. "bulol") he really sings pretty well, hitting the high and low notes to a tee. Heehee! I'm a happy mom! It looks like I have a budding professional musician for a son!

Lovely kids, right?

A cute snapshot of what happened yesterday during Election Day-Birthday celebration. Oooopps! Now you all know how old I am. :-)

Hoping for more years of blessings and happiness to come for me and my whole family.

We finally pushed through with our Tagaytay trip last May 1, Labor Holiday. Although the day trip was so tiring, it was well worth it.

Next time ulit, guys!
