Create 5 Areas in the House to Promote Study Habits in Young Children
Initially, I thought of writing about effective study habits in teens. My son, giving his all at the premiere science highschool is reflective of the study habits he has acquired through the years. But much as I wanted to, I could not or would not. I guess I am not the resource person anymore -especially on that topic. I have to interview my son on that. Plus, I do not…
KEEP READINGDisneyland Hong Kong with My Tween Son
Re Discovering Disneyland Hong Kong with My Tween Last July, my ten-year old son competed for an international math competition in Hong kong, China (where he got a merit award after).

KEEP READINGThe Cooking Journey of a New Cook
Writing for the blog had to take the backseat last year, ( especially late last year ) when cooking for the family took the wheel. Had the blog been a child, I would most likely be charged with parental neglect. But my “blogging hiatus” if I may call it, brought me so much learnings, in spite of major league undertakings.

The Sierra Madre Hotel and Resort in Tanay Rizal In one of my son's boy scout activities, he and his school mates went on a day trip to The Sierra Madre Hotel and Resort in Tanay, Rizal. As usual, my husband and I tagged along. Our son together with his teachers and classmates rode the bus, while my husband and I rode our car. The resort is a two-hour drive…

KEEP READINGThey Might Be Giants : Here Comes Science
2021. Today, my son is now a teenager in the premiere science high school in the country. I am not the resource person on bringing up a teenager because I still am new to this. My son has no interest in guesting on my blog, so the most I can do is talk about back when he was little. Or go back to posts that helped me bring him up to…
