I saw this at a refreshment parlor and I thought it’s kinda cute, OK, we’ll call this kikay dreamcatcher, you don’t need a lot of industrial vices to make this one. In fact, some of the materials needed here can be found in your drawers, or the stuff you pre loved and have dumped them in your stock box can be used as hangings – laces, ribbons, buttons, etc.

You don’t need to follow this exactly you can make your own combos depending on what feel pretty and nice. So in the future when asked for a DIY project why not think about doing your own kikay dreamcatcher.

So….

This will also give your kids a chance to demonstrate self-expression and when they’re there can surprise you with Live Sound that’ll leave you speechless. This will also develop their self-confidence other than speaking and dancing in public through public live performances. Never mind about pricey recital contribution, you’ll forget what you’ve paid after you see your son|daughter conquering the stage.

Another is focus, which I’m so after at, but don’t expect this to emerge right then and there, this will take some time, consistency and regular practice are real indicators that you’re rooting on something.

Music also helps kids think creatively and critically. Though they say technology these days play so much in downgrading these skills, I’d like to take on the idea that technology instead will enhance these skills even further.

What about you? What musical instrument you had your kids engaged into?

The sun tripping in Siquijor was incredibly fun but it was equally exhausting especially for adults who can’t stand the sun for long, but for the kids – pleasure is understatement. We did a short side trip to Dumaguete as my husband had to check on some pro matters at Siliman University, I’ve been to this university when I was still in high school and it feels great to see a lot of modern improvements around.

The last three days of our trip was spent in Cebu. Cebu is so dang hot on day time, if not for the kids I could have just  stayed in the mall and or in my hotel room. But since we’re traveling with school graders, we did an Aralin Panlipunan lesson on-site – Magellan’s Cross, Fort San Pedro, Mactan Shrine etc., etc.

Finally, it’s time to go back home … and here, having photo opp of their in-flight souvenir they named, Fluffy.

But if you couldn’t ignore the warnings all around you like on television, on radio, in newspapers and magazines, then be ready to face the cost of it or you’ll never enjoy this kind of beauty ……

I’ll keep this blog updated with the miss and hits of our adventure. Come back again.

We’ll have more of this water stuff at the Island of Fire – Siquijor!

Glad I know someone who owns a music learning school here in Davao, so he’s enrolled to a 14-session acoustic guitar lesson for P4,800. His teacher is sort of easygoing, well, I expect him to be as he’s with a raw beginner. Nothing much of additional gadget to buy except for a direct box at guitar center, a metronome and a tuner.

If you’re around Matina area here in Davao and looking for a music school, you can visit Scherzo Music Learning along Juna Avenue, they offer lessons on practically all music instruments, voice lessons and basic conducting. You can call this number for inquiry, 092-056-65527.

Soft toys are good for kids it give them this reassurance and some levels of comfort feeling when they’re alone, besides being a mute confidant and a soft punching bag they’re the safest, moms even love to hug them too.

Their eldest sibling is already in first year high school, in fact, he’s not comfortable going out with these kiddos anymore, he preferred to stay at home and do his stuff of whatever sort, unless if it’s eating out. He gets annoyed easily by these two. He felt awkward too because he’s taller than his age and often would say, ‘he looked like a giraffe walking behind these kids’, though at home they’re in together watching ‘Fairy Tale’ or do whatever games they have, like chasing chickens and all that stuff in the computer.

Per observation there’s really this distance between these two kids and their oldest sibling, I’d say it’s because of the age gap, the ‘kuya’ is now into an awkward stage of adolescence while these two are still babies. Though it’s a consolation for a mom to see them grow up healthy and strong, sometimes I’d say I could have just given birth to all of them all at the same time .. ‘para di sabog’… triplets.. lol.

I mean seriously, that’s one disadvantage I see in spacing birth too long – like 5 years in my case. Whenever someone would ask me what’s the best figure to take when spacing birth.. I always say, do it the typical DO, RE, MI and then stop for real. Beginnings are always difficult, but when you get the handle of it, you’ll likely get used to handling your scheds.

Well, as always I don’t impose, do-this-and-do-that stuff about parenting in my blog, because as mom who is propelled by a multi-culturalist philosophy – I’d always say, my situation may be different from yours therefore, we take situations differently.
