Friendship is Love. Full stop!

Having friends bring more joy into our lives. It has a large impact on your emotional, social and physical health. 
The friends we make in an adulthood can form an important part individually. Good friends improve our over-all well being. You see, life gets a little more complicated when you're an adult. You should try to make a point of connecting with new people. I'm fortunate now to have a handful of women here I call friends even though we have just met. Oh no, how's that? Well, making new friends as a parent with other parents doesnt really depends on kids ages. (on my point of view) as you see, we have both the same, we have school kids. Simply because we have one thing in common, 'parenthood'. There's something about parenthood that tether us all together. The first thing I know is that when you first move to a new place everyone you meet is going to be a stranger. Just like Arkhin, T'was kinda struggle for me since arkhin had to cry a lot on his first day of school. I saw the loneliness on his eyes and yet he was struggling too when i dropped him off at school.It gives me calmness and I am happy that Arkhin meet his new friends and was not hesitant and shy at all.

Finding the time to meet new friends can be struggle i know because i was an introvert. I'm really not the best at socializing. (now you know, lol) You should make an effort to connect with other people.  Whether your kids are little or big, you're new to a place or not, motherhood feels better with some close companions in our life. I am glad I found them, Meriam, t flor, t nelma, t hilda, t pabs and Jen. I am glad I met them. I may have only known them for a short time but I would honestly treasure our friendship. The one that bond us all together was the delicious palabok and special bihon of Jen. Hehe. Just know that no matter where we are or how far apart we may be, I will cherish our friendship. Thanks a lot for adding memories and times of happiness to my life. 
Thanks for truckloads of good times.
 See you around!

With love, respect and hopes for  brighter future for us and for our kids!

Arkhin at Kindergarten 1

Summer has just started and few months later Arkhin will be in preschool. On his first day of school at kindergarten 1, He had really a hard time with the adjustment . Me and hubby drops him off to school around 8:30 in the morning and pick him around 11 am.  He doesn't wanted me to go every time we dropped him at school and He is utterly exhausted and an emotional wreck by the time we get home.  He's been very stressed out and edgy since school began and I worried he wouldn’t make friends right away or that the curriculum would be too hard for him.

It hit me recently when I came to pick up him at his K1 classroom.  I looked around and took it all in—the centers filled with bins and categorized toys, the handmade art , the seasons and birthday calendars, the books and little tables and pint-sized chairs and all of the bold and vibrant colors and charts...
The class mostly focuses on reading, writing and math and other subjects like science and social studies, sariling wika are open on the blackboard learning. He was able to read and write and spelling number words. Reading only a few words like phrases and sentences. He also did great in addition and subtraction.  
It feels like yesterday that his tiny fingers wrapped around mine and I couldn’t stop smelling his baby skin, Oh my God... I thanked GOD everyday for giving me this little boy. 

Arkhin, Lian and Peter - The Achievers 

His Achievements  

Pinning of Ribbon (4th Honor)

We are the proud parents

Arkhin has always been on honor-roll and he is at 4th place out of 14.
Anyway, it's not for me, it's for him. He works hard and it's nice that the school can acknowledge that. So, I'm a proud parent because he's doing amazing! .  I can’t tell you how proud I am that Arkhin has overcome another year as the new student at school and not only that, he’s thriving! he has so much more confidence now and he does not get bossed around by anyone. whooa! this kid is finally right where he’s supposed to be. He’s finally able to shine! ,Keep working hard and keep shooting for the stars because you will go far as long as you put in the effort. I love you and God Bless...
