Little Kulit @ Kumon

Kumon will be having a free trial from February 15-28, last Saturday I attended the Parent Orientation and we scheduled Little Kulit for his diagnostic test yesterday Wednesday 4pm.

I want Little Kulit to have a Kumon last year pa, pero he is not ready pa, super duper sa likot.

Yesterday I went home early para on time for his test when I got home eto ang naabutan ko 

Instead of 5pm schedule naging 6pm, when he woke up he has tantrums pahirapan pa. I convinced him that we are going to SMX and will buy his new set of bowling after his test. 

When we arrived at KUMON he doesn't want to sit, he just want to stay at the corner, 15 minutes lambingan and story telling before he cooperate with his teacher.

His teacher is so amazed that he already knew a lot of things and his span of memory. Yun nga lang he is so likot, ayaw umupo ng matagal. We are scheduled next week for his two weeks trial.

I like his Teacher, she is super matiyaga with my son she even extend her teaching method with Little Kulit kahit hindi na part ng Kumon style. Hope that my son will enjoy his classes only.

My only fear is kung magpapaiwan siya , part of the Kumon style is discipline and teaching method is one on one.

After his test, we are supposed to play his basketball at Puregold, but we ended up in Dunkin Donuts as usual he ordered one box of munchkins.

Royal Tee

Morning Tuesday Inspiration

What a morning??? I usually wake up at 630am on weekdays, as early as 4:45am My Little Kulit is already awake and smiling ayaw na matulog kahit ano pilit ko. When it's time for me to prepare for work mas lalo naging active, he wants to go with me sa office or maiwan daw ako sa house. Imagine how hirap as a mom when your child will beg you na "Mommy please don't leave", ang nasasagot ko lang "kung puwede lang baby". 

Before going to work, I changed his clothes and inikot ko muna sa subdivision when it's time to go down sa car, ayaw na and he keeps on crying. It's really hard for me to go to the office knowing that my son is left behind and crying, begging me not to leave him. That is the dilemma of being a working mom.

Well I have to move on now and finish my work, I saw this image while browsing my desktop and reminds me something again

My Little Kulit is my happiness, my life he is my everything

Weekend Full Time Mommy

As a working mom, weekend is very sacred for me, I really devote my time with my Little Kulit. This is the time that we can spend a lot of time in kulitan, bonding, chikahan.We can have all the time in bed, it also means that we can wake up at 9am.

Last Saturday his daddy needs to be at work at 7am, after wifey duties preparing my husband needs at work, sinamahan ko uli si Little Kulit to sleep, the weather is so good super lamig, we woke up at 9am. Little Kulit is so happy to see me, super dami ng kiss and he asked me if I will be with him the whole day and I said yes. Super happy ang anak ko, nakakalambot ng puso, kaya every time na I will go to work and he will say na "Mommy please don't leave" super naman nakakadurog ng puso.

We start our day at Shopwise Sucat, we had grocery with mom and dad, doon na din kami nag breakfast. When we got home, we watch TV while waiting for our lunch, me nagpaligo, put him into sleep, eat snacks as in lahat ako.

But everything is worth it lalo na pag may " I love you Mommy".

Sunday we went to MOA, we just went around at the bay side. 

  
Time really flies, please don't grow to fast Little Kulit.

God's Write Our Love Story

Do you believe that God write our Love Story?

Yes I do believe in that, God will give us a better man, He will give us the best not the one who your dreaming of. 

When I was a kid, I asked my Mom if someday I will get married, she said yes as long as you pray and God will give you. I asked God to give me a lifetime partner that I could talk too under the sun, who will love me unconditionally, who will accept who I am and for who I am not. I never ask God to give me a hunky handsome husband or super rich or anything material, I just asked someone who will love me and my family.

Of course, I also experience heartbreaks wala naman siguro tao na hindi na heart broken noh, but God is really good he really give us the best after all the heartaches.

Hubby is also not perfect we have petty quarrel, major arguments but that is normal and that make our relationship stronger, importante you must know how to handle the situation, just say sorry if you are wrong, and how to do make up after the quarrel.

How did God wrote my Love Story?
  I used my single years thinking what I want do in my life, study, working, going out with family and friends.
  Time come, when I realized that I need someone to be with me for a lifetime. Back  of my mind dreaming of a prince charming that everyone dreams, but I have to face the reality that there is no perfect prince charming.  I have to pray that God will give me a person that who will love me unconditionally. I keep on praying, I had several heart aches, I even questioned God, why?. 
In 2006 He gave me Sherwin, of course it's not easy to have a fairy tale love affair, we have been through a lot in our first year. But God is good He just let us experience the worst before the best come along.
In 2007 as we celebrate our first year anniversary in Tagaytay we come across the Tierra De Maria, we prayed that our relationship will last and to have a happy ending.
In 2008 I asked God if Sherwin is the one, please show me a sign and if puwede Sept 19,2009 ang wedding namin :-). Siyempre ang wedding sidedish lang yun he he he. 

But guess what after our Palawan trip to celebrate Valentines and our early celebration of our Third year anniversary, we finally agreed to have our wedding this year. Bahala na daw ako sa date and all the details. Since I prayed for Sept 19,2009 lahat okay, I tried to change the date for Oct 18,2009 pero lahat hindi puwede even the church. So finally set for 9.19.09.

February 2010 when I learned that I am 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant, Oct 10,2010 when we become official parents to our Little Kulit.

And now 2014 we are going to celebrate our 8 years together and 5 years as a married couple. God still give us trials to make our relationship stronger and we thanked Him for keeping us together and in all his blessings. 


I just want to share you this verse 
Ephesians 5:22-33

²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. ²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing^[a] her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. ²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— ³⁰ for we are members of his body. ³¹ “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”^{[b] 32} This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. ³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.



Let God write our Love story, just pray and have faith that He will give the best.
