Exam Results Are Here!

Exam week was last week. I have been waiting for the results of the exam since Monday. I am excited to know how their exam went. Honestly, I am not contented with the “basta matuto” principle. I did not push them to study hard but I made an effort to make reviewing easier for them. More than from learning, I want them to excel. I am not expecting a perfect score. From my history and my hubby’s (although more on him.. I’m just an average), we never got a perfect score. We always miss and that’s because we are always on a hurry. Always missing a point or two. Seeing a plus sign instead of a minus sign. Putting b instead of a.

Back to my pre shcoolers exams, well the results was great. They both got good scores. Their lowest was 91 and the highest is 99 (see, told ya.. no perfect score for us). The exams were a 50 item type (not 100), so a 49 out of 50 is 99%. The older brother got a higher grades. This is a secret..so don’t tell anyone. I was happier to see my second child’s exam result. He is such a baby and seeing him got a grade of 91% and higher made me smile the whole day. For my first born, we were expecting for that kind of grades. He is witty and smart. Of course, I did not showed it to them that I was happier for Mico’s exam results.

I am happy and contented with it but it will never stop to strive harder and make reviewing session a lot more easier. Maybe I should practice reviewing them everyday about their recent lessons. I do that from time to time but was not religious on doing it. I guess I should be so it would be easier for me the next quarter.

How Old Is Old?

Chris at Inspirational Insights and Niko of Niko’s Blog asked me this question:

How old is old?

How? I really don’t know but I believe that it is not measured up by your age. A 90 year old man can go fishing and ball room dancing whilst a 20 year old guy cannot even do cha cah for 2 minutes. I think aside from one’s perspective on his true age, getting old is accompanied by physical limitation. To be young, keep your mind and body healthy.

Here are some Definition of Old:source

Not young; advanced far in years or life; having lived till toward the end of the ordinary term of living; as, an old man; an old age; an old horse; an old tree.

Not new or fresh; not recently made or produced; having existed for a long time; as, old wine; an old friendship.

Formerly existing; ancient; not modern; preceding; original; as, an old law; an old custom; an old promise.

Continued in life; advanced in the course of existence; having (a certain) length of existence; designating the age of a person or thing; as, an infant a few hours old; acathedral centuries old.

Long practiced; hence, skilled; experienced; cunning; as, an old offender; old in vice.

Long cultivated; as, an old farm; old land, as opposed to new land, that is, to land lately cleared.

Worn out; weakened or exhausted by use; past usefulness; as, old shoes; old clothes.

Aged; antiquated; hence, wanting in the mental vigor or other qualities belonging to youth; used disparagingly as a term of reproach.

LP: Meryenda

It has been a while since I last posted an entry on Litratong Pinoy. Now That I am sorta back on track and thinking of giving in to Kikamz Tuesday Meme, LP should be back on track too.

This week’s theme for Litratong Pinoy is Meryenda. This one I got is a meryenda from our first she bloggers meet up. That’s sweetened banana on top of brownies and caramel bar (not sure though). It was from the dessert buffet actually. I made it look like this to make it more appetizing.. LOL.. Turns out that sweetened banana and brownies compliments each other.

Ang tema ngayong Linggo sa Litratong Pinoy ay Meryenda. Ito ay kuha noon unang beses na nagkita kita ang mga babaeng bloggers. Ito po ay minatamis na saging sa ibabaw ng brownies at tinapay na hindi ko tanda ang pangalan. Sa totoo lang, ang mga iyan ay nanggaling sa dessert buffet. Inayos ko lang para mas kagana ganag kainin. At sa aking pagkakagulat, masarap pala ang saging at brownies ng magkahalo!
