I am passing on the Lamp of Luck to Weng, Tin and Meeya

We have just discussed about that EXTRA HOUR and most of the answers were to be spent this hour for themselves.

Now, since this is my birthday week, I would like to focus my question on thoughts related to birthday celebrations. So the Weekly Question for this week would be…

WEEKLY QUESTION # 8

How would you like to spend your special day, your birthday?

My answer:

This is the eve of my birthday. I am celebrating this special day with my only son Julian who was born seven years ago. Julian asked me the other day if I am going to work on our birthday. My answer was a resounding “YES”.

My reasons? I would not be doing anything at home so why bother being cooped up there, even if its my birthday. Hubby has work and doesn’t usually come home around 8pm. So yes, we will go to work.

By we I mean us since they go with me to my workplace.

We usually celebrate birthdays with mass offerings. We will still have a mass offered but we won’t be able to make on the specific day of my birthday.

Instead, we would celebrate our birthdays on the day after the said date where our schedules would allow us to go to mass and have dinner after that.

It is usually customary to have a big celebration on the 7th birthday but we decided to forego that since Julian doesn’t like to have a celebration. He will instead have a small celebration with the other children in his Work Behavior group on Wednesday in the center where I teach.

His choice. If it makes him happy, fine with me

What about you?

Tin AKA StrawberryGurl tagged me to do the Marital Scale test. Here is my result:

64 As a 1930s wife, I am Superior Take the test!

I enjoyed doing this and had a laugh with several questions :DI am not friendly with the neighbors, fails to sew on buttons (my eldest daughter does that) and not a neat housekeeper alright but I don’t keep up with the Jones and have a good sense of humor.

I am not tagging anyone in particular but feel free to grab this tag and see how you would fare as a wife during 1930s.

It was a hot and sunny Sunday. We went to mass earlier so that we can go back home and rest earlier too.

Below is a photo of the church’s roof. The church is named Parish of the Holy Sacrifice and can be found inside the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. This was designed by National Artist Leandro Locsin.

I took the photo while the younger children and I stayed outside in the garden during the mass. My hubby and eldest daughter stayed in the church.

I have used this quote in a post I made with Photo Hunters Time theme in my special education blog. This gave me the inspiration to write the question for this week.

_______________________________________________________________

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.” -Rabindranath Tagore

In this busy world we live in, we do two or three things simultaneously. We cut back on our sleep. We clean the house while the food is simmering in the stove. We rush here and there. There never seem enough time to do all the things that have to be done. We never seem to have enough time.

Now I ask you this Weekly Question #7:

If we set aside an extra hour each day to do what we would rather do and not what we should be doing, what would you choose to do?

My answer:

If I have an extra hour each day, I would spend it with my husband and the children and for myself. My two younger children and I spend our days together because they home school but we spend this doing school work and learning.

With my husband, I will spend this time alone with him, just like when it was just the two of us. We spend time together daily, during breakfast or dinner and the whole three meals during weekends, watching a movie or TV series at home, working side by side, but most of the time, one or two kids are hovering around.

With my children, I would spend this time talking with them, exchanging jokes, listening to their thoughts and their dreams. We could probably spend this hour doing something creative, a project that we will enjoy doing.

With myself, I would spend this time, even just a few minutes, to reflect, to talk to God and to just “listen to my thoughts”.

Time is probably one of the greatest gifts we can ever give to anyone. How long does it take to express your love? To call your parents and asking how their day was? To send a text message to friends, greeting them?

Of course, the greatest gift we can ever give is love.

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing. - Brian Tracy
