Run United 1 2012

Enrichment, From the Teacher, Philippines, The Son, Younger Daughter 2 Comments

It has been almost a year since we joined Run United 1 2011 so it’s about time we join Run United 1 2012.

Run United 1 2012

I know it doesn’t look good that we didn’t go to the other runs since the youngest daughter, who placed 71st among 384 participants in the Ceelin 500 meter dash wanted that limited edition shirt they gave away, 😀

She won’t be at that standing this year because we have upgraded her run to 3k for this Run United 1 2012. I registered to 3k (from 5k last year) to be with her and the little boy.Yes, I registered the son, whether he is fit to be with us is still a big question though.

Run United 1 2012 consists of Run United 2 on June 17 and Run United 3 on September 16.

Categories are:

  • Ceelin 500-meter dash for kids aged 5 to 12 years old,
  • 3km
  • Dolfenal 5km
  • Enervon 10km
  • Enervon HP 21km

Registration for Run United 1 is ongoing at the following stores

  • Riovana at Bonifacio Global City and Katipunan, Quezon City
  • Toby’s at SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City
  • The Athlete’s Foot at Robinson’s Galleria, Ortigas.

For online registration, check details at www.runrio.com. Registration is until February 26.

My Kid’s Growing Up So Fast

From the Teacher, Philippines, The Son 20 Comments

My kid’s growing up so fast and he is immensely enjoying himself doing  many activities with school friends.

The bag in the photos is my son’s must-bring because it has inhaler, wet tissue pack, ID and baby powder in it.

Dear son,

Your school days begin at the time you wake up at 5am to get ready for school. Sometimes it’s easy for you to wake up effortlessly but more often than not, you have to drag yourself out of bed.

Most of the time you and your sisters are able to have breakfast before the school bus goes beeping at around 5:45am. If Kuya Driver is early, you all bring your breakfast to school.

You come home with your sisters tired, but happily chatting away how your day was spent in school. And yes, you rarely come home “clean” as you get to play with your classmates while waiting for the school bus to bring you back home.

My Kid's Growing Up So Fast

This was a Science project about the stages of physical development.

Was it just a few years back when you tried to play kadang-kadang while you were still a homeschooler? I still feel you just turned six years old when in fact, you turned 10 two months ago. Now, you are learning about the reproductive system among other things and getting all O’s in Math when the report card was given.

You love the outdoors even if you risk having asthma attack at night when you get tired. Being a Boy Scout is not easy but you found joy in it so much so you are on your second year of being one. Why, you even spent a three day camp with your schoolmates last month and tomorrow is another big day with Scouts from other schools.

And what about the Dramatics Club? Last year’s performance was something I know we are proud of and something you enjoyed because this year, you joined the club again. We are definitely looking forward to see you perform again. My fervent wish is to listen to you recite a poem again in Filipino or watch you perform a folk dance.

There are a lot more to discover, learn and conquer and I know you will be able to do these things you enjoy doing.

You are growing up so fast!

I love you to the moon and back!

Your mom, Teacher Julie

Tayo na sa Bukid Poem Recitation Contest Winner

Enrichment, Filipino, From the Teacher, Grade 4, Homeschoolers No More, The Son No Comments

August marks “Buwan ng Wika” in honor of the late President Manuel L. Quezon. Different celebrations in different schools were done to commemorate this day where the Filipino language is the main focus of the month.

School children play different native games, wear traditional Filipino clothes and eat native food and delicacies.

For the intermediate level where the children are now enrolled, they had a poem recitation contest among grades 4 – 5 children. There were 8 contestants (from 8 classes, 4 classes for each grade level) and my son was one of those who competed. They recited “Tayo na sa Bukid”

I missed his performance during the competition because he said it’s ok for me not to watch but I later found out that it was ok. Sigh.

Anyway, the good news was that he won! He bested seven other contestants.

Here he was reciting the poem during the culminating activity in front of the whole school assembly.

Homeschoolers No More

No Comments

As I have written in this blog post, the children are Homeschoolers No More.

I will try to upgrade where I left the posts hanging but I am not promising anything.

Meanwhile, thank you for taking time to visit. I had to disable comments because there are a few people out there who, obviously looking for answers to their children’s homework, stumbled upon our blog entries but left nasty comments.

If this is the kind of Filipino parents that are out there, I hope there aren’t many of you.

Sorry I just had to say my piece. Peace! :)
