Hey guys! I missed you all so much!!!
I had to check my blog when was the last time I wrote a new blog entry. Four days ago pa pala.
Kamote.
I’m so sorry for the lack of posts, mga kumares. I know pangit naiipon ang chikka. Nawawala ang momentum. But I can’t bring myself to blog na at night. Pagoda cold wave lotion na ang peg ko. Hindi na talaga ako mapakinabangan. And then I wake up at 4:30 am to prepare Anika’s baon. With that, I can’t blog na also during lunch time at the office. Nandun ako sa car ko natutulog. I feel so tired everyday.
Bakit kamo?
Lintek ang school work and homeworks ni Anika everyday! I know I have ranted about this already pero hindi pa talaga ako tapos! I can’t believe how busy kids are at school nowadays. I’m sure ganyan na ganyan din tayo nung nag-aaral pa pero, it all feels weird for me now.
I swear, exage. Sunod sunod ang short quizzes. Ang daming pinapa-memorize na prayers and songs. Naaawa tuloy ako sa bata. Though I pity her, I don’t show it. Baka gawin niya kasing excuse yun not to study. Instead, I encourage her to review. Pero hindi yung pressure levels. I had a change of heart when it comes to my strategy in reviewing Anika for her quizzes and exams.
I read this article kasi na nakapagpa-tagos sa puso ko.
There was this little girl daw. They had a test in school. After she answered, she went to the teacher to have it checked. Teacher marked one item wrong. The child got upset. She went back to her seat and changed her answer. She went back to her teacher. The teacher asked why she changed her answer. The little girl said that she is scared to bring home a test that doesn’t have a perfect score because her mom might get mad at her.
Ayoko naman maging ganyan si Anika.
Encouraging mudra na ang peg ko ngayon hindi na Tiger Mom. I assure Anika that as long as I saw that she studied hard, I will not mind mistakes in the test. Basta we know that she tried her best. Tama din naman talaga si Alvin eh. Though may weight talaga ang grades, hindi yan ang sole batayan ng success ng tao. When I look around, ang dami kong classmates before who didn’t excel in school pero ang bibig-time na ngayon. May factor pa din ang diskarte sa buhay and that is the thing that we should learn to teach our kids.
Anyway, everything I just does not matter last Sunday. We studied on a Sunday because it’s MT week. MT means Mastery Test. They have this twice in a term in Anika’s school.
We started studying at 9am after breakfast and ended at 10:30 am.
We worked hard so Alvin took us to the mall.
Lelz.
This is what I wore.
White Polo: UNIQLO; Shorts: FOREVER 21; Sandals: RENEGADE FOLK; Bag: TORY BURCH; Bracelets: CALL IT SPRING
Nice my new Tory Burch sling bag ano? 5k lang yan. Second hand kasi but it looks so new. Walang mga tama and it was well taken cared of by the first owner. It even came with the original dust bag.
Okay din to buy second hand high end bags especially if you are like me na nanghihinayang to spend limpak limpak for a bag. Tingin tingin din kayo sa paligid niyo especially diyan sa mga second hand bag stores and websites. You just have to be sure that the bags that they are selling are authentic.
I check The Bag Hub often. There are only three kinds of bags na inaabangan ko dun na ibenta ng mura: the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, Mulberry Alexa and the Givenchy Nightingale.
I use them as motivation to work harder.
I have been making abang for months kaso hindi talaga bumababa sa price na gusto ko. I need a miracle. But while waiting for that, life goes on.
Back to last weekend.
We missed the Ghostbusters movie showing time so we just had lunch and played at Timezone. I got addicted to the “Flappy Bird” type of game and the Crossy Road video game. Apart from being good at it, the machine spits out so many tickets in one game! Alvin and I eventually left me there because I didn’t want to leave.
I only stood up nung naubos yung load ng Timezone card ko. I reloaded it to play more kaso I passed by the photo booth. The three of us hammed it up for the camera. Please do not mind Alvin’s poses. Hindi kasi siya sanay magphoto booth so when I said scary face, scary talaga ang ginawa niya. Para siyang nasapian. See first photo on the right column. When I said naman funny face, yan naman ang ginawa niya. See second photo in the first column. Siya lang ang natawa sa ginawa niya. When I said naman pa-cute, nagpa-cute face siya. See third photo in the first column. Yan pala ang pa-cute fez niya. Nevertheless, ang pogi pa din talaga ng asawa ko. He is ageing well.
I also want to share that Call It Spring is on sale and there are so many flats and wedges there that are sooooo nice!
This was the pair that I got.
I was supposed to get a pair of wedges pero parang yun na lang kasi lagi ang suot ko. Maiba naman kaya I bought that. It was on sale for only Php 2,100. The original price was Php 2,995. I was satisfied with my purchase until my cousin-in-law from Canada told me that she saw the same pair in their mall for only around Php 1,800 when converted to peso. PLUS may additional pa daw na 40% off!
Shet. I wanna go to Canada. Wasakan ng wallet ang peg dun.
So there. Yan ang chikka ko for tonight. More to come pa. Standby lang ha?
Mwah! Mwah! Good night everyone!
