Homeschoolers No More

Posted on May 11, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

My kids are first-timers as school children. We have reached a consensus that they will go to school this school year. I have high hopes that they will have an easier time shifting from homeschooling to regular schooling since they are familiar with the school and big sis is also enrolled there.

For sure they will have to adjust to different things and some are:

  1. wake up schedule since they will have to wake up real early to catch the school bus
  2. school furniture since they will have to use desks and not sit on the sofa when they read their books or do seatworks on the dining table
  3. uniforms since they can’t go to school in their jammies
  4. eating packed lunches

I’m sure there are a whole lot more they will need to adjust to but I am hopeful that they will pull through 🙂

Weight Management in Children

Posted on March 30, 2009 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

Last night over the radio, I heard one of the hosts say something about appetite suppressant and of course my interest was piqued so I asked hubby to turn the volume up.

Alas, the topic shifted to thrombosis so I was not able to listen to what they have to say about the first topic.

Why do I need to listen to that topic?

Because one mother of a student was thinking about getting these for the child since at four years old, the child is (very much) overweight. A discussion with the child’s other therapists and doctors will be scheduled for the weight management of this child.

I hope the management plans would be successful.

Piko o Hopscotch

Posted on January 15, 2009 by greenbucks| 22 Comments

Asul ang tema sa Litratong Pinoy. Paboritong kulay ko ito, karamihan sa aking mga kamiseta ay ganito ang kulay.

The color blue is the theme for Litratong Pinoy. This is my favorite color and most of shirts are blue.

Heto ang larawan ng aking mga anak (yung dalawang naka-asul na pantalon at maliit na nakapulang kamiseta) naglalaro ng piko kasama ang kanilang mga pinsan.

Here is a photo of my children, (both in blue denim pants and the small one in red shirt) playing hopscotch with their cousins.

Ano ang konek nito sa asul? Wala yata, gusto ko lang ipakita na meron pang mga batang masayang naglalaro ng mga larong hindi kelangan ng remote o kaya buttons na pinipindot.

What’s with the blue you ask? Nothing I guess, I just wanted to show that there are still children who enjoy outdoors games and not glued to things that have remote controls and buttons to push.

Yun lang, mga batang naka-asul na naglalaro ng piko. Hehehe, inistretch talaga ang tema di ba?Para di naman seryoso lagi ang entry ko 😉

SIge na nga, heto, iba pang entries ko na ASUL ang tema: Dagat sa Zambales, isa pang larawan ng dagat at  Rainy Day blues.

Jingle Bells

Posted on December 18, 2008 by greenbucks| 8 Comments

“Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…”

“Pasko na naman, o kay tulin ng araw…” (hindi po ito translation ng Jingle bells, lol)

These are what we usually hear the carolers sing. Happy songs, they almost invite the listeners to join in the fun, making us remember that Christmas is near.

Masaya, kaiga-igaya and nagpapa-alala sa atin na malapit na ang Pasko.

Last weekend when we went to The Fort, we saw several wonderfully dressed and happy people singing carols and greeting people “Merry Christmas” It sure felt great to see them.

Nung isang linggong napadpad kami sa The Fort nakakita kami ng mga taong me magagarang damit. Sila ay masasaya at nagbigay ng ngiti sa mga labi ng mga taong kanilang binabati ng kanilang American accent na “Merry Chirstmas!”

Ayan, medyo nahiya pa ang aking unico hijo, napilitan yatang ngumiti 😀

There are my two younger children with Julian a bit apprehensive.

But do you know that there is another face to this happy caroling?

Alam nyo ba na may ibang mukha ang pagkakaroling na ito?
