My Daughter's Singing Career

WHAT MOTHERHOOD TAUGHT ME THAT MADE ME A BETTER INDIVIDUAL

To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle- and all will- I say “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” -Jeffrey Holland I grew up in an environment where women are empowered. My mom single-handedly raised us when my father died. I was only 6 that time, my younger brother at 4. Life was hard but I didn’t know that because my mother was able to conceal the ugly side of life. Fast forward to present and I am now a mother myself. My daughter will be turning 3 this May and so far, I’m still able to cope up with the hustle and bustle of motherhood. Wow! Life’s pretty amazing and chaotic with a toddler. Being a millennial mom, these are the things that I’ve learned and experienced that I want to share with you. If you are a mother yourself, I know you can relate with these. If you are expecting or planning to have kids in the future, these might give you an idea of what awaits you. #1. A baby i...

BDO Junior Savers Account ALERT!!!

As parents, we always want the best for our children. It’s their welfare that is our top most priority. We want to give them an improved life and a secured future.

It offers a Junior Savers Account that you can open for as low as 100 Php. I got curious, opened the link and read further. I told my husband about it and he said maybe I should visit the bank one of these days. I remember telling him I will sure go and inquire myself about it. When I was a kid, my mom also opened a bank account for me similar to the Junior Savers. However, the bank closed, and I don’t know if my mom ever thought about checking the account. Or maybe she was able to withdraw the money...

TO MY AWESOME BROTHER: HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY

“One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen.” -Philip Wylie October 5th is considered as World Teachers Day as declared by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1994. As I was scrolling my feed, I saw a lot of greetings for teachers. It’s good to know how students pay gratitude to the people who provided them formal education. I think we are all teachers, we educate in any way. However, teaching as a profession is something that is for me a very noble and distinct career. If you are a teacher reading this, you have my great appreciation. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of your students. I still get teary-eyed whenever I recall how my younger brother, who is a teacher would tell me how hard it was to go to school where he was a teacher for three years. From our place, he needed to travel by his motorcycle going to Lekda, a far-flung area in Agusan del Norte. He’d cross a river an...
