Someday…

This is in my bucket list! I want to explore and see the world with Ane…after exploring the Philippines of course. I wish we’d still have the energy to travel when we finally have the resources to actually do it. :p

A Blessed Weekend to All

Our weekend started pretty slow and it will probably stay that way for the rest of this long weekend (at least for QC peeps with kids because there will be no classes on Monday). I’m almost done with work and I’ll be off to spend QT with family in a while. Let me just share with you this quote, used a thousand times over, but still a good prayer to utter.

 

Happy weekend everyone!

Santino runs slow

I haven’t been using my old laptop Santino since Whitney arrived last year. I’ve assigned Santino to my daughter K but since we limit her gadget and TV use already, we don’t turn on that laptop anymore. Even before we weaned K from the laptop, I already noticed that Santino the pc runs slow. Just starting it up takes time. Maybe because he’s old and the system needs an upgrade? But whatever. Writing this post made me remember that I have files in there I need to backup soon.

Throwback Thursday

My future pianist, video screen cap from November 2011. 

I wanted to share a photo of me during my piano lessons but I couldn't find the picture in my files. This was the same piano my siblings and I used back when our house was still flood-free. Yes, we used to have a piano teacher coming to our house. Back then we shared Mommy’s dream. Alas, we’re all frustrated pianists, LOL. I really wish my girls will learn at least one instrument in the future.

Wimbledon 2013 Upset

Talk about a Tennis Grand Slam event that just lost most of the top-seeded players before round 3. Most of them were injured, others had to retire the match because of pain. This year is definitely one for the books in Wimbledon history. Nadal, Federed and Sharapova, I’m sure that they’re out. I haven’t watched any of the matches, so now I’m thinking if I should still watch until the Finals despite these upsetting developments.

Security compromised

Ane was telling me about his friend whose house got broken into last week. Quite scary if you ask me, because we once experienced that too. Since we were renting, I itched to leave and find a new place which we eventually did within a month after we were robbed. But imagine happening the same and you own your house? I think I will have a hard time getting over that. Ane said his friend immediately changed locks and all screws to square head set screws. That’s the first thing to do when an incident like this happens, after reporting to the police of course. And then pray it never happens again.

BGC Ampitheather

I want to bring the girls here for floor water fountains. The last time we were there to buy Jamba Juice, R wasn’t born yet and the fountains were still under construction. I’m sure K will be delighted to see it, she loves fountains! But I think she will hesitate to actually play with the water even if it’s allowed. She’d be content just looking.

On Car Bike Racks

We were on the road one day when we saw a car with bike racks similar to these thule ski racks. I told Ane, maybe we should install bike racks on Nicki. What for, he said? Nothing, I just find them errrr cute. LOL. That was a joke of course because Nicki is a compact car…and we don’t ride a bike to begin with. Oh, the conversations we have during boring drives. ;p

Busy for the next SY

Our school will be in it’s third year this coming June and as early as now we are preparing for the opening of classes. I’m not really hands-on when it comes to the daily operations but I try to be available as much as I can, even remotely. I also try to give inputs when necessary. For example, although we are not yet due to change classroom furniture, I would suggest virco school furniture when we replace the wooden ones, things like that. For now, we’re busy with enrollment and preparing the materials and the classrooms.
