What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

History Teaching

Sibika is a subject in most elementary classes. This deals with the history of the country. It is like social studies and culture for kids. And that subject is being taught in Filipino.

I find it really hard to teach him subjects in Filipino language, there are words that is hard to express in Filipino and most words used in their subjects were pure Filipino.. words like mapagkumbaba.. kirot sa puso.. ehh? who’s using those words anyway? I mean in their ordinary day? Of course, I have to try harder and explain him what are the meaning of those. I actually can’t imagine people who is into translation industry, there are words that is really hard to translate into Filipino, take fat burners, how will you say that in Filipino without losing it’s meaning?

It’s hard to explain the concept, when in fact there’s no concept at all. Unlike in Math, you just need to know the theories and you can solve all the problems. In subject like Sibika, the best way to teach them and make them understand the subject is repitition.

Blogging Today: I’m Levitating

This my official entry to LEVY’s contest: LEVYtate and wina total of $500.

Host: Hello everyone!!!! It’s been a while since my last episode. I wonder what happened to the management, but anyway, it’s not my job to talk about those things.. right?

So why are we here today? Again Pehpot asked me to interview her about Levitating. On what are the things or situations that would make her feel like levitating. So readers, welcome again to another episode of Blogging Today!

Pehpot: (waves and smiles) yeah it’s been a while.. you know how life it is. no helpers, 4 kids and so many blogs.. but anyway, Hello everyone and thank you once again for letting us be here and patronizing Blogging Today.

And also thank you my dear host for always answering my call..

Host: (blushes) I will do anything for you Miss Pehpot.. but before this discussion turns anywhere else, let me ask you the question: What are the things/situations that would make you feel like levitating?

Pehpot: Levitation (from Latin levitas “lightness”) is the process by which an object is suspended by a physical force against gravity, in a stable position without solid physical contact. OK that’s wikipedia talking there.. in layman’s term, LUTANG! as in para kang nasa ALAPAAP or SABOG (grins)

What makes me like I am floating? Like I am in the clouds? Them: (flashes photo)

Host: aww that boys are so cute! but why them? or why only them?

Pehpot: Actually not just them but all of them.. Kayil, Mico, Chico, Sati and of curse my two nephews Kieth and Dylan.

Every day I face the day with so many complains, my body is aching from too much house hold chores. My mind is aching from too much online gigs.. everything of me is aching. I feel like I have no right to rest, I feel like a horse driving a thousands carriage. The kids asking something for me is non stop. Kayil will ask for his eyeglasses, Mico will ask for food, Chico will ask for milk and Sati will ask to be fed..It’s very tiring and very energy draining..

That happens every single day.. makes you want to think where else I get the energy to wake up the next day. Well it is as if I have a short term memory loss, because every night those tiredness, those pain just simply melt away and I am again in clouds.

How?

The kids of course! every night when I check them before I sleep, my heart feels like ready to explode. The feeling is overwhelming. You know the feeling of being the luckiest person in the world? Yes, every night I tell that to myself, that I am the luckiest mom on earth.. and that makes me high.. high above anything else.

I have four adorable kids! four ADORABLE and LOVABLE kids! What more can I ask for? I feel so loved. Seeing them together makes me feel dizzy with happiness (yes more than the dizziness my vertigo gives). They are my everything. And every night I thank the Lord for giving me this kind of happiness, this kind of high, the very reason why I feel like levitating. Just a look at them makes me go against gravity and floats in the air.

Host: Ohh that is a very touching answer Miss Pehpot. I am sure when your kids are older and they read, they would also levitate because of this.

Pehpot: Oh I hope they will, I hope when they get older, they will also feel the same way I did to them, that they are lucky to have each other.. and I hope that as they grow older they would feel how much I love them and that they would share they love to each other.

Host: I am sure they would Pehpot.

Pehpot: And that’s how I end my day.. glimpse of heaven.

Host: It is heaven on Earth indeed.

Thank you Miss Pehpot and thank you everyone with us today.
