First Position

Are you a ballet mom? Do you spend your weekend with a ballet class inserted in your precious schedule? I do. So let's talk.

There are a lot of reasons to send your daughter, or son, to an esteemed school of dance. It could be that their school has a program to offer, or you felt that your offspring should learn basic gracefulness, or that you ultimately believe that your child has the talent – inherited or otherwise – that needs to be explored and nurtured for a possible future in the performing arts. Whatever your reasons are, it starts at an unholy weekend hour of 9:00 am, rain or shine.

Lost in the Cosmos

How are your kids doing in school? I bet their least favorite subject is Filipino or Sibika. Worry not! My kids struggled through it too. Or should I stick to the truth and ‘fess up that I was the one who barely survived the intricacies of our national language? The mere mention of those grade school requisites gives me an instant headache! More so when my kids have a project or theme paper due!

Super Delayed Reaction

Okay, it took me more than a year to get down on this. Real life got in the way of my blogging aspirations. Though on the edge of the recesses of my muddled mind, I am aware that I have signed up for this. It still remains on my to-do list but got shoved down the priority ladder more often than not!

The point is I am RE-starting my blog today. I still hope it will grow to fifty or more entries by the end of 2011. I still pray that it will be relevant to at least 20 people in this earth. And I do wish they will let me know it too.

Live. Laugh. Let's get it on!

New Beginnings

A year has passed. It is best described as being caught in a limbo. I was too young to retire but kinda too old to start another job. I tried working in a call center but the unholy hours stressed me out! I lasted less than two months. I did seriously think about putting up a business. I've already bought equipment and initial inventory but never did get round to actually starting it. Maybe tomorrow I will.

Meanwhile I became a fulltime mom to my special 11 yr old boy and precocious girls, aged 7 and 2. It was a great experience of bonding with my kids and reacquainting myself with me. So while washing clothes - I thought: why not blog about it? Not the usual motherhood or parenting stuff. I am sure there are gazillions such sites leaving their carbon footprints in cyberspace. But none have Iloilo City as their setting. Or so I hope. It will be more like ramblings of a she-person, trying to get through another day in the suburbia Iloilo. With a mom's point of view. As much as possible. If we get lucky. Lol.

My point is I am starting a blog today. I hope it will grow to fifty or more entries by the end of 2010. I pray that it will be relevant to at least 20 people in this earth. And I wish they will let me know it too.

Live. Love. Lay off the calories!
