School Day Jitters

Posted on June 5, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

June 15, 2010 is the first day of school for my three children. As of now we are slowly purchasing the things they need. Next week is the week they starting to bed early again and that will probably have to be enforced with me too since I have to wake up early to prepare their packed lunch.

This school year is probably the start of a very busy one for us since the homeschoolers will be going to school. We will be dealing with a lot of projects, homeworks, school programs and other school-related issues not excluding financial matters.

Maybe I should start getting wrinkle removers supply for myself in anticipation for all these things 😀

Oh, and maybe this is THE time to start on that time management schedule. For me.

C5-Mindanao Avenue-NLEX

Posted on June 2, 2010 by greenbucks| 11 Comments

Noong isang taon ay naging larawan at post ko sa temang simula ang ginagawang Phase 2 Project Segment 8.1 connecting Mindanao Avenue to NLEX.

Heto na ngayon ang malapit nang makumpletong modernong kalsada ng C5 – Mindanao Avenue – NLEX na alam ko ay isang malaking pagbabago hindi lamang sa mga mananakay kundi para din sa mga nakatira malapit dito:

Ang nasa kaliwa ay patungong NLEX at ang nasa kanan ay patungong Mindanao Avenue.

Ito pa ang isang larawan sa ibang lugar (mula sa unang larawan) na malapit sa bagong kalsada: ang tollgate.

Malaking pagbabago din ito sa amin dahil ilang bloke mula sa aming tinitirhan ay nakagugulat na makakita ng bubong ng toll gate. Maaaring hindi malaking bagay ito sa ilan ngunit hindi sa isang iang katulad ko na nag-aalala para sa kalusugan ng mga anak ko lalo pa ang isa sa kanila ay may asthma.

Hindi ko tuloy alam kung ako ba ay matutuwa sa pagbabagong ito o hindi. Malamang ang sagot ay hindi.

Thinking Ahead

Posted on June 1, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Uncertainty lurks at every corner and people who have planned well has made steps ahead of time that will not make them vulnerable to unseen changes.

We made such step when the children were young and we got them plans that will somehow ensure something waiting for them when the time is right.

Yes, I am talking about life insurance lead.

We pay for what we can afford and not what we want to have at the end of everything. That was what the agent told me and it  made sense 🙂

Messy Room

Posted on May 27, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

The inflatable swimming pool of the kids is inside the house, right smack in the middle of the living room, among the contemporary furniture.

Good thing no one comes over for a visit or they would be shocked to see some litter in the pool. We have been doing some inventory of the school supplies and some of the discarded items are placed there for disposal once the yard-cleaning lady comes in. She gets some books and school supplies from us.

I really hope to clear the living room up this week, if only I have the time and energy (the heat is so unbearable at 38 degrees C) to do so.

Magic Tree House Series

Posted on May 26, 2010 by greenbucks| 9 Comments

Ito ang aking unico hijo, nagbabasa ng isa sa mga aklat ng Magic Tree House series. Gustung-gusto niya ang mga aklat na ito at katunayan, isang araw niya lang binabasa ang isang aklat. Me konting problema nga lang, dahil mahilig siya sa numero, gusto niya dapat sunud-sunod ang mga book na babasahin niya 😉

Magic Tree House

Meron ding siyang ilang series na kinahiligan kagaya ng Geronimo Stilton at Top Gear (hehe, iba na to) na dapat sunud-sunod din ang pagbasa at pagpanood sa season.

Ang mga numero tungkol sa Formula One: standing, scores, speed, haba ng race tracks, at number of turns nito  (dinikta niya itong mga ito) ay kanyang gino-Google. Dati ang hilig niya ay size ng smallest at biggest countries at mga population nito 😀

Numero, bow. Yan ang hilig ng anak kong lalaki.
