Seandy’s in nursery now and they had just finished their first quarter evaluation. I did not expect much from my son, but of course I hope that the result was good. It took a while before we got the result of the exam. Finally, the results came last Monday.
The results was great: Wika: 100%, Reading: 99%, Language: 98%, Math 97% and writing: 92% . Average of 97.2% and guess what? He is the top of the class! Second to him is my niece Rumelyn, who got 96.4% average.
Congratulations my son and to Rumelyn. Great job!

Filipina Image
I was blog hopping the other day. I came across the story of the “infamous” foreigner who met a Filipina. Hooked up with her got her pregnant and then went back to his country and then accused the whole Philippines of scamming him.
I have heard of this story before when I was still in my maternity leave.
It took me a while before I finished reading the stories from one blog to another. But I was not lucky enough to read the official blog of the guy since it was changed to invitational only.
I have read a lot of comments, reactions, insults and accusations. I pity the girl. Being a mom myself I know how painful it is to lose a child. Plus the pain of knowing that the person whom who trust no longer trust you back.
But I cannot blame the guy. He may look like a paranoid but to some point he was just cautious about things. Well he mentioned that someone already tried to scam him through friendster. Unless he was just fabricating all the stories, he made mentioned about the money that he spent when he was here in our country, he food for the family and for the barangay, the cellphone. He also mentioned that he sent money to the girl in the past.
The thing is, the girl should not have asked for anything from the guy when he was here in the Philippines. People will really think that she is only after his money. Be it a local or a foreigner, the rule of thumb is never ask a guy to buy you stuff, unless the guy asked you what you want and offered to buy it for you. Of course, it is different when you are talking about husbands and wives.
Good thing the girl learned her lessons. Sad thing is - in a hard way.

Quote about Love
Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require
that you continually have
the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain.
~Leo Buscaglia~

See you soon...
My mother in law visited us for a week. She left yesterday for Aklan.
It was fun. She was so excited to visit us. It was the first time she saw her granddaughter.
She left with a smiling face, but a heavy heart. She told me she will be missing the kids so much.
She wanted to stay longer, but she has to take care of their business in Aklan.
But it’s okay; they will be coming back this December and hopefully stay for the holidays.

Adie's work of Art
Adie is 4 years old and he likes to draw a lot. I asked him to draw us once and here it is. He said that was him, her baby sister Andie, Me, and his Dad.
Adie's alphabet:
He is now in nursery and his first evaluation exam was last September 24 – 26. It was funny since both I and my sister were so excited about it. My sister's daughter, Rumelyn , was also in nursery, they were classmates. She said she felt like her daughter will take a bar exam. She even told her daughter they will buy her a doll house if she has perfect scores. I told her I was not pressuring my son so much.
For now I just wanted him to enjoy and have fun. We have not gotten the result yet. Hopefully the result will be good.

Catch Me I'm Fallin for You
I have been fascinated with Korea Nobelas and movies lately ( I like the Korean versions with subtitles than the "Tagalized" versions). And I have watched quite a few. I really liked " Which Star are you from". It stars Jeong Ryeo-Won and Kim Rae-Won.
Here is the plot. Choi Seung-Hee is a film director who met the girl of his dreams, Hye-su. They have decided to get married despite the fact that Hye-su's mother does not like him. But before they were married they met an accident and the girl died. He was so depressed he decided to live in reclusion for three years.
When he came back to start working again he saw a woman who looked exactly like Hye-su. Her name is Kim Bok-shil, she looks like her but they are also opposite in many ways. Kim Bok-shil was offered a job in the film company where Choi Seung-Hee was also working.
It was then discovered the Kim Bok-shil is the long lost sister of Hye-su. Choi Seung-Hee tried so hard to fight the feelings that he has for Kim Bok-shil thinking that he was just seeing Hye-su in her. But finally realized that he was really in love with her.
Kim Bok-shil fell in love for the first time and it was with Director Choi Seung-Hee. It was hard for her as well since her mother is still mad at Choi Seung-Hee, blaming him for the death of Hye-su.
A modern Romeo and Juliet, without the tragic end, they fought for their love even if the whole world disapproved.
Catch Me I’m Fallin for You was the theme song of this Korea Nobela when it was aired here in the Philippines.
I also love this song, I could listen to it over and over again.
(Click here to listen)
I don’t know why
But when I look in your eyes
I feel something that seem so right
You’ve got yours I’ve got mine
I think I’m loosing my mind
Cause I shouldn’t feel this way
Catch me I’m falling for you
And I don’t know what to do
How can something so wrong
Feel so right all along
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can time be so wrong
For love to come along
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can love let it grow
When it has no place to go
And I can't go along pretending
That love is in here to stay
Catch me I'm falling for you
If I could just walk away
Without you from day to day
I would die just thinkin' of you
I know we can never be
More than friends you and me
But why do I feel this way?
Catch I'm fallin' for you
And I don't know what to do
How can something so wrong
Feel so right all along
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can time be so wrong
For love to come along
Catch me I’m falling for you
Maybe someday I’ll see
Why love did this to me
Coz I can’t go along pretending
That love is in here to stay
Catch me I'm falling for you
Catch me I'm falling for you
And its wrong for me
to feel this way
Coz I don't know what to
do without you
I'm falling for you
Catch me I’m falling for you
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can something so wrong
Feel so right all along
Catch me I’m falling for you
