There are different studies about kids behaviors, health, and educational style these days. Before, it was only traditional school. But now, we have progressive, Montessori, etc. -teaching styles that we parents can choose from according to the needs of our child. Before, if you got good grades, then you’re intelligent. In school, there are no other gauge but the numerical scores of your quizzes and tests. It doesn’t matter if you sing good in your church choir, or if you dance well in your ballet class. When I was still studying, I got good grades, but part of me wishes to do more. I wanted to have more friends not just in our batch but also in lower and higher levels but I’m too shy. Oh, and I really want to be a cheerleader when I was in high school, but again, I’m too shy and I don’t know how to dance gracefully :p.
Now that I have Gwen, I promise to let her be. I won’t put pressure on her grades too much. I will encourage her to enroll in dance classes, voice lessons, whatever she wants. I will let her friends have a slumber party in our house. I will ask Jeff to teach her how to ride a bike, to fix the tent up in the mountains, and to tie a knot. Haha, I sound like a stage mother here.

I told you I’m having another McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Kits giveaway courtesy of our friends from McDonald’s! Honestly, I really can’t wait for Gwen to turn 6 years old so that she can join this summer activity. It’s a unique and very enlightening experience for your child, aside from the usual summer activities like swimming.
Back in my childhood days, I spent my summer in my cousin’s house. They were 4 siblings and there’s a riot when we’re together. My older cousin had a mini-store and she sold mangoes with bagoong, gulaman, banana-que and other merienda just so they can save up for a brick game (Yes! Brick game pa uso non haha!)
My parents we’re not the outdoors type, Papa is a seaman so he’s out of the country most-of-the-time. That’s why we never go to beach trips when we were children. And this is the reason why my family now travels a lot, deprived kasi ako sa lakwatsa nung bata haha.
Boracay when Gwen was 2 years old
