An afternoon in Nuvali . . .

Last June 19, was a non-working holiday in Laguna as we celebrate Laguna Day which coincides with our National Hero's birthday. It was also the birthday of my eldest sister, Ate Jo. In the afternoon, we went to Nuvali to see the area as I always tell my hubby about our Conti's experiences. We were just leisurely strolling around the area when Mikaila saw the taxi boat. She kept on asking us to ride the boat so the daddy have to give in to her request. Here are some of our pictures taken in Nuvali :

And of course one big welcome pose . . .

The sound of the water refreshes the mind and soul . . .

Finally, we're back and safe!

The kids enjoyed the boat ride and I'm sure we'll be doing this over and over and over.

First day of school . . .

turned out pretty well. Ate Kaila went straight to her classroom just as she got off from the car. No more crying. No more good bye kiss with mommy and daddy. hu hu hu . . . Our little girl has grown up so fast. She's like a small lady in her uniform. But we are proud parents to our little girl as she has really transformed into a very confident and bright student. The teacher has only good words about her. :)

Our little boy on the otherhand, held my hand as he was about to enter the classroom. But once inside he was asked by Teacher liza to sit in the table with some of his classmates. He was behaved while waiting for his other classmates to come in. He grabbed a book and ran through the pages as if he was understanding what he was reading. He was looking for me once in a while. I stayed inside the classroom the whole time as I wanted to witness his first day in school.

During class, he was participating as his name was called several times and he would answer Teacher Liza's questions. During circle time, he participated in the activities as well though he was kinda playful at times. I hope he would behave most of the times though hubby and I are preparing ourselves for we might be called in the principal's office during the school year (still keeping my fingers crossed).

The kids enjoyed their first day in school as much as the mommy enjoyed it. If only I can do it more frequently. Who knows that might be soon. he he he . . .

Here are some of the photos I have taken :

Another love team in the making ? ? ?

The little boy saw me taking his picture behind the wall . . .

This is it . . .

Finally, school starts today for the two kids. Hubby and I are both on vacation leave today. We really make it a point to attend all the school activities of the kids. Kids will never be kids forever. They won't we needing us parents as much as they need us today. So, better make the most of it now than regret it in the future. It's important that we, as parents, spend quality time with our kids rather than spending quantitative time with them. Those quality time that we spend with them are those that they will remember and cherish as they grow up.

OMG, I'm been starting to write and write again! Writing is really addicting once you've started it. But I need to stop here for now since I need to prepare the things of the kids for school. I still have to cook pancakes as requested by Kaila.

Let's wait how the first day in school will turn out. :)

Random updates . . .

I haven't really blogged for the past months. I was so preoccupied with a lot of things. I'm still learning and adjusting with my new work. I still have to figure out how to do things more efficiently since my workload is actually for two positions. At home, I barely have time to blog since hubby is addicted to facebook and the kids are into PC games as well. I really have to find time to sneak out in between. he he he . . .

So, what are we up to lately? Well, we're still completing our documents for the submission of our complete application package to the embassy in Manila. We've been to San Beda already to get hubby's school records, been to BPI to get our employment certificates, been drafting letters and affidavits to support our documents.

School break is almost over for the two kids. JM will be going to school as well starting this Wednesday that's why hubby and I are so excited to see him in school. I wonder what he would be like as a student? Hopefully, we won't be called in the principal's office because of JM's naughtiness.

We had no major vacation this summer except for the two roadtrips that we had in Liliw. Weekends were mostly spent in malls for groceries and play time for the kids. I've also had several Friday night outs with my officemates wherein I've been struggling to improve my score in bowling. :) This weekend, we are heading off to Nasugbu for an overnight in Canyon Cove. At least habol pa rin sa summer. Summer pa nga ba? :)

Whew! It feels good to write again. Hopefully, this will be the start of my continous updates in this blog. For a more real time updates, just look for me in facebook. he he he . . .

The lazy me . . .

can't seem to find the urge to blog. It's not that I have nothing to blog but actually there's a lot of updates and even pictures to upload. It's just I'm not in the mood to blog. Should I blame it on facebook? he he he . . . I guess I'm just busy with a lot of things and I expect to become busier this month. The days are getting nearer . . . 120 days will be over soon. :)
