Summer here in the Philippines has ended. Yay! I'm gonna be missing the beach, the sand and the beautiful views during summer. Today is the first day of June 2012 and I could see the gloomy sky above with scattered rain showers in it. Rainy season is coming to town and aside from that, classes will start next week.  I am actually excited for my daughter since its her first year in school. She will be in kindergarten and everything is new for her but I hope that later on, she will get along with her classmates and she would cooperate with her teacher. Now I have to change my daily time routine since her class will start from 7:30 am. I'm actually not get used to wake up early but this time I have to since I will accompany her to school.

My daughter is officially enrolled at Cagayan de Oro College - Phinma Education Network. She will be in Kinder 2 (K2) this school year. This is actually her first time to go to school. She did not went to Nursery and Kinder 1. She was immediately accelerated to Kinder 2 because of her age. She will turn 5 years old this coming July.  I'm quite worried about my daughter since everything is new to her. However, I am thankful she already knows the basic abc's, shapes, colors, animals and she write,read and pronounce the words. She can easily catch up and memorize all the things that are being taught. I just hope that she will enjoy learning and she could get along with her teacher and classmates as well.

Last Saturday, I joined the Blogging 101 Hands-on Workshop hosted by CDO Bloggers. Its main objectives is to help set-up a new blog for interested new bloggers as well as to assist and answer questions that newbie bloggers have on their blogs. I have many blogs but I still consider myself as a newbie in blogging.  I am thankful that through this event, I learned more about the basics of blogging starting from knowing what blog is all about, in setting up your blog, promoting and maintaining your blog, the benefits of blogging, how to monetize your blog and how to make money on your blog. They gave us some hand outs and certificate in attending the Blogging 101 workshop.   I'd like to thank the lovely CDO blogger speakers Ma'am Grace, Ma'am Venus and Mommy Emz for the inputs. I'd also like to thank the sponsors of this event: Sun Cellular for this cool USB hub, CDO Bloggers for the nice key chain and Blogger sticker, CDOPlaces.com, Vicmadz.com and InCDO

Celebrating Mother's Day means more than flowers and gifts. It means saying thank you for everything. A Mother's love is an undying love, A love beyond compare, the one you take your troubles to cause she is the one who really cares. Our Mother are all of this and more that's why we love them very much.  I just want to greet all my mommy blogger friends and all the mommies out there a Happy Mother's Day! :)

Mommy Rubz, Sis Lou and I  got the chance to meet sis Dhemz of My Life’s Perception and Inspiration in person. She came all the way from Texas, U.S.A. Were so happy that she spent some time to meet us up.  I came to know Sis Dhemz through blog hopping and also leaving some comments on our blogs. She's really a nice person and she's beautiful inside and out. Thanks so much Sis Dhemz for being such a good friend and thanks also for the "pasalubong" for my daughter. ^_^ 

My daughter will be going to school next month. This is her first year in kindergarten. Sending her school does come with its fair share of emotions, for both of us. For my daughter, entering a new preschool environment filled with unfamiliar teachers and kids can cause both anxiety and anticipation. We as parents might have mixed emotions about whether our child is ready for kindergarten. But I think I just need to be more comfortable and more calm to send my child to school.  On the other hand, Ive heard of homeschooling from my fellow Mommy bloggers who already had an experience of homeschooling their kids. One of my Mommy blogger friend is Mommy Chris of The Mommy Journey . She said that she have been homeschooling for 2 years now and it has been good for them. I asked her about her experience since I got curious about homeschooling.I might let my daughter be home schooled if she's not comfortable in learning at the school. Mommy Chris told me that it requires comm

I just had my hair color last week. I went to my favorite beauty salon and let the hairstylist colored my hair. I actually chose the burgundy color but the outcome was like dark brown or caramel like shade. I don't why, maybe because my hair already got some color before. Oh well, I’m still satisfied with my new hair color.  I wanted to spice up my look so here it  is my summer look with my colored hair. Having the right hair color can greatly change the total appearance, do you agree with me my friends? You just have to choose the perfect hair color to fit your personality and character. So why don't you bring out the new side of you and give yourself a new look too! :)
