When My Son Learns Most

Last week, I promised my son that I'll cook carbonara for him this weekend. Since it's payday, I set a budget for his request. But I had to bring him with me to the supermarket 'coz Dear Hubby wasn't available yesterday morning to look after him. Then I thought, it will also be a good opportunity for him to put into practice his lessons in kindergarten about reading, place value and greater than / less than. Before we left, I reminded him of our rule: no buying of toys since our primary purpose was just to buy groceries. Of course as a kid who's still into toys, " Ma, tingin lang po ng toys. Promise no buying." 

To Work Abroad Is Not For Me

Two months ago, I bumped into someone on my way to my son’s school. He was my seatmate in second year high school. I hardly recognized him ‘coz he gained much weight. His nephew also studies in the same school where my son is. Actually, I’m a bit hesitant to stop for a small talk ‘coz of the feeling that he might offer me a MLM business. I am off with networking since selling is not my forte plus I had a bad experience before with a MLM “guru”. I politely declined an offer but on the same night after the meet-up, I saw that person’s post at FB- “ dami talaga mga taong walang pangarap, ayaw umasenso…basta ako, GO POWER!” I have no time to deal with such egocentric person. That person’s red car really didn’t add appeal either. A sick kind of marketing blah-blah for me. If  that person’s mission was to help uplift the economic status of an average worker like me then thank you. However, it’s  unprofessional to say any dead duck remarks if you got a NO.
