Happy Father's Day Pa!!!

Its father's day and I would like to say happy father's day to my husband, father, brother and brother-in-laws.

We have been brought up the traditional Filipino way and that we dont express ourselves openly to our parents. Though I am very grateful to my father since we (siblings) have been raised and disciplined well and am proud to say that we all graduated with a degree.

I would like to thank you very much for all the support you have given us. I dont say and express these to you often, I AM PROUD and thank GOD has given you to be my father and still with us now at the age of 77. Happy Father's Day!

Leyna's First Experience With School

     Leyna will start formal nursery school next week. We have tried to apply for a scholarship though we still do not know the result of the exam and hope she makes it.

     While we were waiting for her name to be called to take the exam, she has observed that some of the kids have not finished the test, others peed on their pants, others were crying, others want to …..ooooopps!  . She has commented on what other kids have been doing but it did not affect her and have not seen her being afraid. I think she is so much like her dad who likes to mingle with other people, confident and very talkative. Maybe traveling has helped her gain confidence and independence.

     We have enrolled her as nursery visitor last school year since before school started she has told us her interest in going to school. When she told us these, we asked her if she can get up early everyday like her dad to go to school and she has answered us confidently “YES”. On the first day of class, she has not shown us any “first day tantrums”. She walked confidently with her classmates inside the room and played with them. We thought that her liking of going to school would only last for a month or two but surprisingly we have not heard her complain in getting up early every day and has finished the school year. Since last month, she has been telling me that she would sleep early so she can attend class early the next day. I have explained to her that classes will start June 8.

     I hope that she will like going to school until she gets her degree. Thank you Lord for giving me such a wonderful and loving daughter.
