A Mom's Note

Well, I am kinda disappointed. I was expecting to have my driver's license yesterday but I didn't get it. It was raining and it's against the OMV policy to conduct road tests during bad weather. I woke up so early yesterday (with a lil hours of sleep) to be at the OMV on it's first office hours that I could take the written exam as well as the road test in the morning while the heavy downpour is at the other side of the county. I've waited for my turn only to be told that I got to undergo a 6-hour-class relating to driving  per OMV policy (for first time applicants) before I could take the tests. From then on, my day was ruined. Sitting in that room for 6 hours is not a joke. There was a lot in my mind - leaving my toddler for the whole day, catching up OMV's office hours and exams stress. So I did take the 6-hour-class that ended at 2:30 in the afternoon. I enjoyed the class, though. Headed to the OMV after a long period of sitting. Waited for my number to ...

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Woodrow Wilson . All opinions are 100% mine. Working in a private high school as an assistant Librarian and a part-time teacher is a huge privilege that molded me into a better person  as well as appreciate teaching even more. It was such a pleasure to be a part of a huge family and  a sister to the rest of the faculty and staff who are mostly holders of Masters in Education (lower ranked) and Doctors in Education (administrators). Meanwhile, I had a voice chat with an ex-colleague last week. She is here in America because of a teaching job in a public school. In two years of her stay, she has adjusted not fully to the culture, thus, wants to go to school again to keep her from homesickness. She earned her Masters in Education in General Science back home and wants to further her education in the field of Science and Mathematics. In relation to teaching, I came across a website, www.wwteachingfellowship.org today. I ...

It is sixteen minutes to two in the morning and I am still wide awake. I am supposed to be in bed earlier than my usual bedtime  because I will be heading to the Office of the Motor Vehicles at around seven this morning  yet here I am blogging instead of trying harder to doze off. I must admit that I am kinda nervous about this thing. It is my first attempt and hopefully the last. I hate to think of failures especially in the matter that requires not a huge time to read and understand notes. I know how to drive and definitely learned the traffic signs and laws while on the road for a two-month-practice. What's lacking is that my experience, it ain't as old as others have. Now that I have vented what I feel, I shall go now and try to sleep. Wish me luck today!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson . All opinions are 100% mine. How would you deal with 100-105F heat index? I bet you would rather stay in a cooler place than do yardwork  or soak yourself in the waters to cool down. I can not blame my friends who drove from states to states just to beat the heat here in Louisina. Kinda disappointed as I wasn't with them when they made the trip because  I was in the midst of practice driving in preparation for my driver's license application. Now I am ready to take the test and tomorrow  marks the day of giving it a first try. When these things are over with, summer fun for me and the family shall start effectively! Meanwhile, I am thinking of the summer events in Branson, Missouri. I believe Branson  have so much going on for everybody regardless of age. Some are just  the following activities: Branson Z Fest National Kid’s Fest Stage One National Dance Finals Performances by Travis...

Photo found on MSN.  The ex-power couple of the Philippines undergoes marital rift.  Kris was named as a family wrecker due  to her previous relationships with married men while James have had controversies regarding the women outside his house. Their backgrounds are now used against them . The Philippine presidential sister, Kris Aquino, revealed her deteriorated marriage to James Yap to the public. But the question is, is she telling the truth? I have watched a couple of her interviews but not her very explosive interview at SNN. I heard that Kris opened the untold story of her marriage book in that particular showbiz program. I just don't have the time to watch it. Tonight, I hopped on the gmanews page to update myself about my homeland. Part of news reading/video watching is peeking on the showbiz tab of the website. I was hoping to read different gossip/story,  not related to Kris Aquino but nope, yet I was surprised that someone came out to speak from James...

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA . All opinions are 100% mine. Sooner or later, my mother-in-law will become a caregiver of none other than her husband. If the third back surgery on the 19th won't do good for him, God forbid he'll really become more dependent to his wife. The father-in-law has a knee and back problem and could barely stand up long. He has a hospital  wheelchair, unfortunately, he's not comfortable in it. I saw these infomercials about wheelchair vehicles  on TV and I think that's what he needs. In my twenty-eight years of existence, I have seen how a disable person lives. It makes me cry deep within and bring myself into an in-depth thinking why one's body deteriorates and why one suffers from severe pain. My deceased maternal grandfather was on wheelchair for years. He suffered from serious high blood pressure for six times before he passed away. My memories about him being ill were vague because I taught myself to for...

My house has now a new decorator in the presence of a two-year-old girl, my daughter. Check out the picture below. She says "No, mommy, stop!" when I was trying to put up the things that she'd placed on top of the  coffee table, bookcase and sofa table. Serious, that's how she is when she decorates lol. I believe she saw me rearranging stuff around and that she does it, too. What a mocker, eh? This is how it looks like when the lil one starts redecorating the house. She said "It's pretty, mommy. Wow!" after placing her cup atop the candle. I still have some photos to share but I have to dig my files for that.
