Those who have been participating in the Weekly Questions are women. So I decided to post a question that will have them answer if they can do man jobs.
Man jobs are those that require individuals, be they women or men, to do man jobs, as professionals or as odd jobs or as emergency jobs.
So the Weekly Question will attempt to answer :
What man jobs can you do?
My answer:

Who remembers the song of Tropical Depression “Bilog na Naman ang Buwan? You know, that reggae band who can make you sing and dance alongside their upbeat songs?
Oh, sige na nga, sa mga kunwari hindi alam 😉 heto ang lyrics: “Bilog na naman ang buwan, ilabas nyo na ang kalokohan. Huwag nyo na pipigilan pa, ang toyo nyo lalabas din lamang. Pag bilog na bilog na bilog na naman ang buwan”
Why did I ask If you know this song? Its because of my entry, the photo of the moon, a nice black and white combination. I love looking at the moon though if I do that for a long time, I might end up either with a stiff neck or end up looking like I’m nuts. This is one of my family’s favorite thing to look at the sky, the full moon. The photo below is not of good quality since I didn’t use a tripod.
Bakit ko naitanong kung alam nyo ang kantang ito? Dahil sa aking lahok, ang litrato ng buwan ay isang magandang combinasyon ng itim at puti. Gustung-gusto ko tignan ang buwan pero kung gagawin ko yun ng matagalan, baka magka-stiff neck ako o kaya mapagkamalang loka-loka 😀 kaligayahan naming mag-anak ang makita ang full moon kapag meron ito. Pasensiya na po, di gaanong malinaw, hindi kasi ako nagtripod.
Happy Thursday everyone! 🙂

The norm in most homes in the urban places here in the Philippines is to have a maid or a house helper.
We don’t have one. We have been without a maid for what, five years now, almost six years.
People ask me always, how do we cope?
It takes a lot of time management to be able to cope, especially to a part-time working mom, part-time stay-at-home mom and full time homeschooling mom like me.
Here are some ways:

A few weeks from now, semestral break will be here. I am sure a lot of families with school age children as well as college students looking forward to having a break are making their early plans.
So what are the things to prepare for a hassle-free semestral break?
Hmm…what have I forgotten?

The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is golden.
Ang tema para sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy ay ginintuan.
I thought about doing something different with this entry and related this to age. Yes, the golden age which we probably do not want to celebrate yet.
Naisip kong ibahin ang aking lahok at ang edad ang aking naging ideya. Oo, ang gintong taong kapanganakan, o ang ikalimampung taon na malamang hindi pa natin gustong maranasan.
My idea was to post photos of people well into their 50’s who still work hard to support their families. Nothing bad here but to those who are older? How many times have we heard about a grandpa or a grandma with their frail bodies and brittle bones working not just to support their able-bodied children but also their grandchildren? We sympathize with them, sometimes we seethe with anger why they allow this to happen.
Ang aking ideya ay maglagay ng larawan ng mga matatandang lampas na sa kanilang ika-limampung taon ngunit nagtra-trabaho pa para suportahan ang kanilang pamilya. Wala namang masama dun pero kung mas matanda pa dun? Ilang beses na ba tayo nakarining ng ganitong kwento tungkol sa isang lolo o lola na bukod sa mahina na eh nagtatrabaho pa para suportahan hindi lamang ang kanilang mga anak na ayaw magbanat ng buto kungdi pati anak ng mga ito? Naaawa tayo sa kanila, kung minsan nang-gagalaiti tayo sa galit bakit ganito ang kanilang sitwasyon.
