He's 10 na...

My son turned 10 last month. And we're able celebrate it with simple menus and with in-laws who travelled pa from Bulacan all the way to Laguna. Although gifts is not that too many, an all out smile on his face during the celebrations is priceless. He was overwhelmed with the ice creams, cake, monay bread and spaghetti. He is also happy because of the guests we have, his lolo, lola, cousins and tita’s.

Of course, we parents do like to have a big party for our kids. But we also check our budget and the priorities that needs to settle first. We opt to a simple and small celebration wherein kids will surely enjoy. 

And now, big boy na si kuya.

Thank God for everything.

Enrolled atlast !

The budget for the tuition fees and books are already in our hands two days ago. And yesterday, we were able to enrolled them as early as 8am, at baka kung saan pa mapunta and maglahong parang bula. We were dressed in our office uniforms kasi we will report pa rin sa office afterwards. As we enter the school, only a few people are there. Siguro mga six lang. I’m thinking na baka late na lang kaming magpa enroll. The new process on how to register new comers and old students are clearly printed on a white sheet of paper and posted on each widows where anybody can see it. Good job.

I don’t know in public schools ha pero in a private school its so easy na to enroll the kids. Naka system na ang computers nila kaya no long lines that will irritate you. Ang hassle lang is syempre ang bayaran mode na, waaaaaah!

Si Mister gulat na gulat sa tuition fee. Hehehe buti na lang pala sinama ko para aware sya sa gastos, ayos! 

Ayun si Mister, waiting for me, na high blood ata sa cost, ha ha ha!

The ladies in front of the window are also settling the tuition fees of their kiddos. I hear pa nga dun sa isang nanay na me balance pa siya last school year kaya need muna nyang i-settle before mag proceed sa next step. While yung isang nanay naman na naging katabi ko, half lang ang kayang i-pay dun sa amount ng upon enrollment amount. Haaay, mga kids, ganyan kahirap ang buhay, you should study hard and pay attention sa gastos na need i-settle ng mga parents. Hindi madali ang mag earn ng limpak limpak na salapi, we need to shred more sweats and blood sa work just to give you a bright future.

Not only that, yung books! Bakit nuong time namin, private school pa kami ni Mister nag aaral ha?, the books used by the higher year eh pwede pang gamitin ng next year level. Of course, di kasama yung work book dun. And now, every year na lang bibili ng BAGONG BOOKS cost ranging from 5k-6k per level! Teka ano bang ginagawa ng mga mambabatas natin, dapat gawing batas na rin na hindi papalit palit ng books ang mga estudyante, di ba? Bakit, pinapalitan ba nila everytime lahat ng contents ng books? Mostly yung cover page lang ang nababago di ba? And now, this is the time na ipasa sa congreso ang ganyang batas, laking tulong nyan sa mga magulang. Calling all the senators, paki review nga po.

We always tried to think the best way to save everything but apparently the situations of a daily living is getting worst nowadays. Palaki ng palaki ang gastos.

Haaay buheeey…

After that, we dropby at a small tapsilogan eatery. Parang nahilo kami sa bayarin and totally nagutom na rin. We also talked about the kids, school and their upcoming college years. We’re excited naman but still the nervous are still nasa katawan pa rin. Syempre, we parents want the best school and course for their kids, if the budget allows. Wish lang namin school for them are Ateneo, La Salle or UP. Libre namang mangarap di ba? Sagarin na.

So while it is still early, save save na and need maging healthy para continous ang work work work…

And lastly, happy pa rin kami kasi we were able to settle the obligations at school.

Tomorrow is Mothers day…

The dark cloud is engulfing the sky and a loud thunder was heard while I was typing this. Yeah, still at the office and working on some papers that needs next week. My kids are in the house with their yaya while the Mister is miles away from home with his buddies, exploring the town of Sorsogon since yesterday afternoon. He’ll be back on Monday.

And tomorrow is Mothers day.

Will celebrate it with my kids alone. I promised them to treat a breakfast at Jollibee tomorrow morning then go home after.

Ever since I experienced being a mom, and this kind of event once a year passed by, I wasn’t able to treat myself with a reward that I like. And now, I am making a list for myself on how to treat it with a delight.

·        Massage, spa, hot bath and facial treatment

·        Shopping clothes

·        Buy new things for the  house

·        Eat in a fancy resto with loved ones

·        Long day in bed, sleeping

·        Lunch date with siblings

·        Making a new dish

Some of it is magastos, while others just need time and space for myself. It’s just a one day request from a mommy like me who happened to work 24/7 for my loved ones.

And the best gift that I will surely treasure all my life are the smile and hugs from my kids.

To all mommies out there, lemme great you in advance…

Happy Mothers Day!

Hooray to us, mommies!

A : Mommy, sexy ka kahit malusog ka hihihi!
