Bye Phone

Posted on by
Bye Phone

My sister just told me the other day that I need to take care of my things. So imagine my shock when I saw this. If I did this myself  I wouldn’t feel this bad but this is something else. I left the phone in our room inside my bag and well hidden because the resort had no signal and we were on a vacation so I was confident that it would be safe and sound in my bag.  Imagine my surprise when my phone looked like this. Did I feel bad about the incident? of course I did I felt bad because I really loved this phone and my sister made the play list.

I’ll make myself  believe that this is an accident  and somehow It might make me feel less sad but still would you feel happy about this incident? Would you keep quiet and keep your calm when you see your phone in that state. The money that I will use to buy a new phone could have gone towards my new camera or a wedding bands for men that Philbert would have liked for his birthday.

Here is a brief background on what Pinay Mommies Community is all about (got it from the PMC site)

Pinay Mommies Community (PMC) is a continuously growing community of Filipina mothers who consider blogging as a passion. We are dedicated to helping each other grow as bloggers through a multitude of fun activities. We also share common interests such as parenting, shopping and others.

PMC was created last January 21, 2008 by its founder Mommy Ruby. Not long after, a Facebook Group was made for more interactions between members last November 8, 2010.

I have been a PMC member for a while now and having the chance to finally meet our founder, Mommy Rubz {who flew in from CDO especially for the occasion}, along with 50-plus other mommy members, is really quite a pleasure and a memorable experience. It was a great time to catch up on each other, and although I did not have the chance to have small talks with everyone, I am glad and delighted to chitchat with those that I did!

Dubbed as the mommy bloggers’ event of the year, our much-awaited eyeball was also supported by generous sponsors that made the event even more exciting and colorful. Our major sponsors gave each mom a bag of goodies to bring home. A bagful of Smart Steps samples of Baby Detergent, Baby Bottle Cleanser and Baby Fabric Softener along with Holy Seat Disposable Toilet Seat Cover and Toilet Sanitizer was given out as soon as a mom registers. This was followed by a bagful of Unilab, Ceelin + Dolan containing Diatabs, Dolan, Enervon, RashFree, a Dolan pencil and tumbler and a huge bottle of Ceelin {perfect for my kiddos! :) } They also provided gift items that were raffled off to lucky moms in attendance.

Lucky moms also won prizes from our small sponsors: a pair of shoes from Grendha, Barbies + Hot Wheels from Richwell Trading, and a bag of wellness goodies from World of Wellness. Goldquest Biotechnologies also gave cash donations that went to the PMC funds. We also had fun taking our pictures at the KrazyPix Photobooth :)

And after the first part of the program was over, we were off to the second part which is the token-exchange. It was most exciting and fun as the moms riot around the room to give out little gifts to each other. Everyone was so excited and who would not if you will be taking home 50 plus lovely tokens at the end of the day? :D

Thanks to Mauie for the images :)

SPED School at Pio del Pilar

Posted on by
SPED School at Pio del Pilar

When people ask me about Joshwa’s school, I proudly say that he goes to Hen Pio Del Pilar Elementary School Main – SPED Building on Santuico St, Makati. This is a Special Education Class at a local public school. Most often, people ask why I send him there, somehow implying that I am being a cheapskate. But I proudly tell them that this not a typical public school. I am so glad that we found this school. My son loves going to school.

Joshwa’s school is different. There are 6 kids at the most in his class, and they all have autism. They are group according to their disability, and are taught academics according to their skill level. Joshwa, who is 10 years old, is now doing 2nd grade academics. I am so proud that he is doing so well. This is of course not without any struggle. Just like any other child Joshwa prefers not do his drills and just play with his toys. But we have to really instil discipline in him.I really do admire the teachers who took time out to Get the certification to help special needs children at and read up on a Guide to Career Education.

Josh is doing well in academics, as reflected in his report card, although he is struggling with his Filipino. Finally he is blending in and showing everyone that he can do it.

During last year’s Christmas party at the SPED, some of the kids performed song and dance numbers. It made me cry because I really hoped that someday I’ll see my son sing or dance on stage too.

I am so thankful to Joshwa’s school for being our valuable partner in moulding our son. Indeed, we are really blessed!!!

A friend is going through a tough time her husband is addicted to playing online casinos. I told her that there is only one answer. The computer modem is going with  her where ever she goes. If  she doesn’t do that, he will think up the ‘brilliant’ idea of gambling more to make up for his losses – this is what drags all gamblers back in. When they loose, they want to play more to make up for it. No more internet, no creditcard (only cash) and no lies! Read the rest of this entry →

10 Signs Your Child May Have Asperger’s Syndrome

10 Signs Your Child May Have Asperger’s Syndrome

What is Asperger Syndrome?

Asperger Syndrome is one of the autism spectrum disorders. What are autism spectrum disorders? They are also called pervasive developmental disorders in the DSM-IV. These conditions are characterized by challenges/deficits of social interaction and communication. Autism spectrum disorders begin in infancy or childhood. These conditions are not ‘cured’, as some might think. They are really just a different way of thinking and vieweing the world. However, the challenges that arise in communication and social interaction should not be minimized, either. Read the rest of this entry →
