My dear son and dear daughter on Monday morning before they head off to DS’ school for the family day. Too bad I wasn’t able to go with them as I can’t take a leave from work :(.
DH tag along the little girl to let her join in the fun and see her previous teachers too. They really enjoyed the family day and as always, were happy to bring home some party loots. Hope that next year,I will be present with them on the family day 🙂
I am suppose to make this entry last Friday night but I am to worried with the little boy’s condition, his fever went up and down and I was almost awake the whole bight looking after him. The whole Saturday was the same thing, on and off fever still, I am already getting paranoid since there are no signs of colds and coughs that often lead to asthma attack which are the usual health issues about him. We decided to head off early this morning to the ER on a nearby hospital to have him checked. We are so glad that the laboratory test on him are A-Ok. Platelet count normal and the others. Doctor said that it could be viral infection as his throat is a bit swollen. I am so proud of him too that the blood extraction was a breeze (he was near in tears, but cooperated well) considering that it was a first time experience for him.
Now I feel more at ease knowing that it’s nothing serious. Now going back to the photo updates of the little boy’s educational field trip, our first stop was at the Museong Pambata:
First theme room that we went to is all about Body Works:
kids were amazed seeing parts of the bodies in a humongous form. lol! It is a hands on exhibit were kids get to explore and touch them.
Next theme room is the Market Place:
I Love My Planet Earth Room, where kids gets entertained with the basic concepts of the climate change and other environmental concerns.
Old Manila-kids were acquainted with the old cultural things and places of manila. Like the miniature Binondo Cathedral, Galleon, Tranvia.
The little boy and I had fun yesterday during their Educational Field trip. It was his first time to go on field trip as he was still in nursery level. Her Ate experienced it four times already, so I made sure to take lots of pictures of him. I am yet to resize and upload the pictures hopefully later tonight and share it here and on my Facebook account. The places we visited are:
Photo updates next time 🙂
It’s examination week for the kids. DD is having their shortened period today to give way for a review session on their subjects. DD’s teacher Ms. A gave me ring and informed me that it has been an hour and my poor little girl is waiting for her Dad to pick her up. I told Teacher that I’ll call up on DH. I was bit worried that something bad might had happen hence the delay in picking up of DD. I’m starting to be in panic when no one’s answering the phone. After three sets of ring, my little boy finally picked up the phone and told me that his Daddy’s not around. I was giving him instructions when I heard DH on the background, I immediately asked the little boy to give the phone to his Dad and I told him about the teacher’s call and he was so shocked as he forgot that the little girl is on a shortened period. He FORGOT! Oh well, he’s forgiven. School is just stone’s throw away from us and and it wouldn’t take another hour but only five to ten minutes to get there. The important thing is that nothing bad happen to any of them. I just hope that DD were able to take her afternoon nap so that we can review some of her lessons tonight.
I know it’s been ten days since I did the first part of DD’s field trip, been caught up with offline activities, especially at work. But here it is…
First place that we visited was
Kulturang Pinoy
The place is located at Pasay City beside the Boom na Boom. Kids were able to try out different traditional Filipino games like, sipa, sungka, patintero, etc..
Then some kids were asked to perform, DD was very active and even volunteered to dance. lol They were asked to wear some costume, not some halloween costumes though. lol.
Then off we went to the second destination at
Nature’s Spring Mineral Water Plant
The place is located in Guiginto, Bulacan.. We were able to see how a plastic bottle were formed from resin up to these different sizes. We moved around the vicinity were we get to see different stages how a bottled water is made.
The bubble water
We were given a free drink after the tour, see how thirsty the little girl is?! lol! It was too hot inside the plant, that‘s why!
Third destination is at San Guillermo Parish Church in Pampanga
This is the Church were some scenes (monastery) in a teleserye “May Bukas pa” took place. Santino was the little boy and lead character in the show.
We had our lunch at the Clark Field Garden, then had some shopping at Duty Free.. We got a robot toy for the little boy as our pasalubong. Then off we went to the final destination at
Felicidades Theme Park
built by Globe Asiatique right in the heart of an exclusive subdivision at Mabalacat Pampanga were the kids enjoyed the rides. We arrived home safely at around 8:00 in the evening. Though we were not able to follow the original itinerary, It was indeed a learning experience for us.
Finally, DD’s educational field trip pushed through after being rescheduled due to a bad weather condition a couple of weeks ago. We were quite disappointed as there are few changes in the itinerary and was only informed when were already on our way then inside the bus. Instead of visiting Malabon zoo, we headed to “Kulturang Pinoy” beside the Boom na Boom in Pasay City, instead of Barasoain Church in Bulacan, it’s San Guillermo church in Pampanga (the church where the teleserye “May Bukas Pa” takes place, hence the famous “Santino”). we were not able to visit Tita’s meat shop too.But nevertheless the field trip went well and we were really thankful that we had a good weather condition that day. Here’s some pics taken inside the bus.. .
The tour guide keeping us informed of some important matters plus trivia’s and tidbits.
DD while praying for a safe travel
Smooth travel on an early morning travel…
More pictures of the places that we visited on my next posts..:)
DS in his usual “kulit” mood… We are really thankful that he really enjoys schooling. Never he did throw any tantrums at school and initially ok to him being left the first day of class. Happily shows his star signs on his hands and make sure it will last till I arrived early evening to show it to me.lol! Very eager to learn as he would always say that he will study his lessons and like to answers all the activity pages on their book. Ahaha. Guess I need to buy some other activity book for him to answer in advance. I hope he remains the same way for the rest of the school year. 😀
My mom has been asking me many times to contact my cousin who is now based in abroad to ask help if I can work there. Personally, I don’t have plans of leaving the country for work purposes but only for reasons of vacation and entertainment :). I am not yet ready to leave my family (DH and kids) and brave the long distance relationship with them. But I have a friend who has plans of studying in Cosmetology school in Louisiana, a fastest growing beauty school in the country, wherein it was one brave decision for her as she shifted a career because she used to work in a bank and now it’s gonna be a new and fresh environment for her. But I know she would be happy with it as she is very passionate when it comes to cosmetology as she really have the eye for it.
For the big school that is! As of this very moment, the little girl is taking her entrance examination for grade 1 at St. Therese Educational Private School, just a stone’s throw away from our house which is the main reason we chose it despite the high tuition fee, many have attesting to the good curriculum and way of teaching there. We noticed the good facilities of the school too as we went there to inquire. The husband is more than excited than the little girl as he is the one who process the requirements and other pertinent documents needed and since I cannot take a leave from work, he is the one with the little girl right now. Nicco on the other hand is already enrolled in Nursery since last year from her Ate’s previous school. He is also excited in going to school, he even tells us that that the teacher” allowed him to bring his toys to school. Oh my! he’s used to having his toys with him around that’s why. But he’ll enjoy school for sure 🙂
This year 2010, Gabby will be turning 6 and Nicco 4 cliche as it may sound but time really flies really fast! seems like yesterday when they were just too fragile in my arms… Now they are growing up too fast. I wish that they would always be in the best of health and good luck to me as I will be having two students this coming school year. yep, Nicco will be in his nursery by June and Gabby will be in Grade 1! We are still in search of school for Gabby, the ones we saw near the area are kinda pricey. Save, save is the key! As for Nicco, he’ll be going to her Ate’s school and we have already made the DP for his tuition so expenses won’t pile up high.
