Blessings from our home…

We went to BIR office along Torres last Friday, Sep 11, 2009. We were in a hurry since it was past 4pm already. We took the tricycle that could squeeze in 10 or 12 passengers. I remember that same kind of tricycle which we usually took when my grandmother would bring me to Agdao in the 80’s. Anyway, back to our travel, it was just a minute or less travel to BIR office from the tricycle terminal. When we arrived at our destination, you made another smart surprise when you looked at the tricycle and asked me with amazement and seriousness in your eyes: ” Ay, mommy tricycle po pala yung sinakyan natin? Ginawa man nilang jeep!”. You made me laugh out loud. Your are very observant, very much like dad. Good job my dear little angel. Keep your observations coming and I’ll just be right here listening and ready to burst into laughter when needed. Hehehe…

And why is the title of the post never say never? Because when I made this post, we just finished viewing the speech of Michael Jordan after he was included in the Basketball’s Hall of Fame. And I just like what he said ” “One day you might look up and see me playing a game at 50,” he said. “Don’t laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.”

Again, Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. May you remember that when the time comes when you feel doubt or discourage.

Oh, today, September 13 2009 I also discovered the first homeschool in the Philippines since 1999. I am so excited that things are getting clearer and more precise now. Thanks God for this discovery. The school’s name is The Master’s Academy. And I learned that it’s okay to homeschool on our own without getting a curriculum (of course I have to make sure that you will learn the basics and the equivalent lessons for your stage) and then just take a PVT or Philippine Validation Test to see what level you will qualify once we decided to put you on a regular school later. It’s liberating indeed to know that there is nothing wrong with the lessons and information that I am currently teaching you.

Speaking of lessons, you just love to study the solar system recently. Earth and all there is are you latest lessons. But of course your all time favorite Airplanes and Trains are always part of our daily activities. We also had a kitchen time today. I brought you to the kitchen and cooked tinolang isda (maliliit na moro-moro or in tagalog galonggong). We had malunggay, kamatis and sibuyas dahon with it and a teaspoon of salt. Yummy lunch for a beautiful Sunday!

Back to Michael Jordan, here is the video of his talk that we both watched.
