So it’s the second year of online distance learning. My kids miss their face to face classes, but I still think ODL is the best set up. And I don’t mean just for this season. Last year taught us a bunch of things. I heard my older daughters complain about school being different. About theContinue reading “My Thoughts on ODL”

Field Trip to U.P.
It was the first week of July when I stumbled upon an article saying that one of the University of the Philippines’ most popular eateries was going to close. Apparently after around 30 years in business beside the Main Library, Beach House Canteen was being evicted because they were too close to the drainage, makingContinue reading “Field Trip to U.P.”
Entrepreneurial Danae
For some reason, when Danae discovers something new to make, she automatically wants to sell them. From drawings, to paper games and paintings. She is quite entrepreneurial. I did not encourage many of her ideas before because frankly, nobody would buy them haha. With her paintings from her art lessons this summer, I didn’t wantContinue reading “Entrepreneurial Danae”
“My Bully”
Danae and I were talking about short hair this morning, when Danae mentioned her former classmate in regular school who had short hair. She called her “my bully.” I knew Danae felt bullied before, but it just surprised me that she actually labelled the girl with such ownership. Naturally, we told her that it wasContinue reading ““My Bully””
Still, Why Homeschool?
I still encounter people who ask why we homeschool, as if it’s a step backward or a step in the wrong direction. Well, I’ve written a few articles about the perks I’ve experienced so far. I’ve also actually written about why we homeschool, but it’s not like I can just direct people to visit myContinue reading “Still, Why Homeschool?”
Focus, Fruitfulness, and God’s Faithfulness
2012 was an amazingly fruitful year for me! Looking back at the pictures of people and events I took, looking at my pictures taken by other people in many church events and in friends’ homes, thinking about all the blogs I posted and all the get-togethers we hosted, not to mention the birthdays that weContinue reading “Focus, Fruitfulness, and God’s Faithfulness”
Perks of Homeschooling — Opportunities
Sparks Homeschoolers have had a tradition of putting up a bazaar during the Christmas season for the last 3 or 4 years. This year, they had the opportunity to do it in a commercial place called Soderno, a big tent open only on weekends for food and bazaars in Molito Lifestyle Center. King and IContinue reading “Perks of Homeschooling — Opportunities”
Please Support Danae!
Please support Danae and some of the homeschoolers as they join Soderno’s bazaar this weekend! They will be there on Friday and Saturday only, November 23 and 24, selling all kinds of great stuff! For last year’s bazaar, the older kids sold some of their own work — paintings and paper products among other things.Continue reading “Please Support Danae!”
Perks of Homeschooling — Freedom and Creativity
We are enrolled at Peniel Christian Academy for Danae’s homeschool, and one of the perks I enjoy is the freedom to use the materials we choose to educate our child. We were advised by my friend Michelle to use paces since it’s our first time. They’ve proven to give me less stress as I doContinue reading “Perks of Homeschooling — Freedom and Creativity”
Perks of Homeschooling — Flexible Hours
One of the perks of homeschooling is flexible hours. When we were starting out, I asked one of my go-to homeschooling moms, Michelle, how I ought to fix our daily schedule. She gave me great advice — set a schedule and see how it works out for the next few weeks, then adjust accordingly. IContinue reading “Perks of Homeschooling — Flexible Hours”
