Milestones and Memories.

When you become a parent, life is sort of split into two parts: milestones and road blocks. While the road blocks can make you hate everything, the milestones are there to remind you that it is all worth it.

Javier started school this year as a Nursery student. I couldn't find a budget-friendly playhouse/eduplay so I opted for a pre-school. There is singing, dancing, writing and lots and lots of colors. I could say for now he is enjoying school. He now knows how to play well with other kids and can understand simple instructions.

I could say it's one of the things added to my plate that made me a tad more busy. It's full of exciting firsts, as well as scary challenges. Do all parents share the same sentiment?

Apparently, this year, Javier's school is on its 10th year. They celebrated the foundation day yesterday. All the kids, staff and even parents prepared short presentations. It was fun though.

I could go on and on about Javier and his first four months in school but that's another story. I'm just too giddy and proud about Javier not being afraid of the stage. (We'll work on actually performing on stage later. Playshop summer na ito! Calling Chevy and Teacher Robi. Lol.) Videos are below. Enjoy. :)

Nostalgia and #Squadgoals.

When you're starting to feel old, you can't help but look back at what happened in your life. You smile when you come across good memories and even at some that reminds you how young and carefree you were then. Then you remember the bad times and how you got through them, telling yourself that you know better today.

The rain probably gave me the nostalgic feels tonight. Plus seeing my News Feed flooded with batch reunion pictures (which I failed to attend) sort of made me look back at what life was like ten years ago.

Ten years ago, I struggled to make new friends in college. I was like a fish out of water trying to figure out how to get by. I started a new chapter of life and along the way met people I could find comfort in.

I don't want to write a sappy post. Haha. (Hindi na ako 17 year old online emotera.) I'm a grown up, dude!

To people who made life interesting when I was 17, thanks. Life's full of drama when you're a teenager. But most importantly, life's better when you've got friends you can trust your life with. Hell, you'd even trust them with your child's life. Oo, ikaw yun, Carmina Mones.




Happy birthday, Mina! :)

When You See It.

From one mother to another mother:


"Mabait ang anak mo. Madali alagaan. Mabuti kang ina."






Life ironically brings you the best things in life when you least expect it.
