Top Mommy Blogger Philippines- Super Mommy; Award Winning Mommy Blogger
We were browsing some old photo for my sister’s wedding on August 22 and saw this one.. Obviously at a very young age, I already have this thing they called motherly instinct. And it is not a surprise that at a very young age, I am already a mom of four.. LOL
The baby I was holding is my youngest brother…and here he is now (not now but here is the most recent I have.. taken last 2008)
Last Monday, ABS CBN had a coverage of the transfer of the Cory Aquino’s remains from La Salle Greenhills to Manila Cathedral. It was cut short to give way to Willie Revillame’s noon time show Wowowee. During the Wowowee show, there was a vidoe insert that shows the funeral march. In his own words Willie says:
“Di po maganda. Nagsasaya kami dito habang nagluluksa ang sambayanang Pilipino. ’Di ko magagampanan ang pagpapatawa habang ipinapakita ang libing ng dating presidente” source
The remarks made Willie contorversial again. A lot of furious and not so good remarks floats around the blog world, twitter world and face book world. As in almost every kind of world you can imagine. As for me, I have not seen it live as I don’t watch TV (I did not even watch any coverage that involved this past events). My initial reaction was he really is a very insensitive man. Then I think about it more and realized maybe it was not just him. Is Willie Revillame more powerful than ABS CBN? Instead of just inserting the coverage,they could have show it in full view, suspend the Wowowee or re schedule it. Or make it a back to back, Wowowee then coverage, no commercials in between.. Ah.. I get it.. it’s the popularity of Wowowee and the bucks it brings that won.
As I have said in my previous entry, nest week will be exam week for my kids. I don’t want this to be a traumatic experience to them so I am devising pans on how to make their review light and with lots of fun.
Ahead of them, I already studied their subjects and the topics that would be in the exam. From time to time and in between play, tickles and DS lite playing, I would ask them questions. I use their everyday toys and that includes DS lite. Who would have thought that DS lite can be a good tool for reviewing the kids. Like for example, in Language subject where they tackle polite expressions, I asked what will they say to mommy since mommy gave them DS lite? Answer comes naturally. I also incorporate Math in their playtime, like greater than and less than.
As much as possible I try to avoid the usual way of reviewing the kids. A long hours of sitting with so many books in front is not fun. Although I must admit that there are some courses that really needs this kind of reviewing, but of course I try to limit it.
When dealing with them you really have to be creative and is oozing with (not sex appeal) FUN.. That’s the only language kids understand, FUN and FUN.
more review methods coming up…
