Let her tell stories, and dance in the rain, somersault, tumble, and run

Kreativ 25
Because Candy tagged me for the Kreativ Blogger Award and I just made a Random 25 list on Facebook, I thought it be best to cover all bases and merge the lists as one.

Space rock
"I draw you a space rock! It's a giant one!" Matthew prods us to look at his creation on the Magic Sketcher. He erases the tablet and draws another "space rock." And again. And again.
I asked Armand, why does he know what a space rock is? I don't know, he says.

What I'm looking forward to next week
We’ve set the date for the movers. By next week, you can find me in my new home, in my new neighborhood.

On the Meaning of an Ateneo Education
Ateneo changed my life in many, many ways. Teachers like Gus really make a difference. He was my Philo 103 teacher, and I also used to talk to him a lot. Well, I talked to a lot of my teachers. I think this article hits home very well. For all the elitist education, Ateneo taught me how to be Filipino. And how to give my best.

The boobtube debate
Baby Einstein has stopped tagging themselves as "educational." Critics and experts have long been warning parents about the dangers of letting young children watch television. Is it really that bad? I still let my son watch his videos, though. Do you?

Riding in cars and more with my boy
Matthew embarks on a new toddler adventure as he enjoys the city’s different modes of public transport.
Having no car in the city can be a hassle a lot of times. It can get quite tedious and uncomfortable to get from one place to another. Add this mad summer blaze, and I’ve chosen to stay put at home and not move if I can help it.
But pressing ( Read more... )
