Going Around in Style

Who would dare use a golf car going around the village?
We did!
Little Dynamo had the privilege of being his Lolo’s first passenger for the golf car he purchased for the university where he serves as the University President. He will be using this golf car when he goes around the university inspecting the grounds and [...]

Spiderman Turned 3!

My Little Dynamo, who loves Spiderman to this day, is now 3 years old!

Doesn’t he feel like he is a real Spiderman? The clothes were from last year… the mask was this year’s birthday gift-).

A Star Wars-themed 7th Birthday Celebration in the Philippines

We were invited to a 7th birthday party last night.
A 7th birthday celebration is usually a big family affair here in the Philippines. For some, it is a very well-planned, well-organized affair. For a few, it is a grand celebration.  But how grand is grand turns out to be relative. Let me share with you [...]

Little Dynamo’s Perks of Being With Family

I am absolutely sure that my son is enjoying every minute of his vacation. He is spoiled rotten! That’s one of his perks for being on a vacation.
He would go behind his Lolo Daddy when I call him for his bath. He would snuggle up to his Tito Ninong when I ask him to drink [...]

Do you still have this?

I remember my high school English composition class. We didn’t have computers back then. Who has?:-)
While I was in the house the whole week last week, I finally took notice of this:

It’s an old typewriter, an antique one, that has been with the family for… I actually don’t know. LOL. Unfortunately, I don’t know it’s history. [...]

The Best Laid Plans… are not always FOR the Best

My mother’s side of the family is deeply religious. It is not a quality I have inherited but I do hold on to my faith. Anyway, my aunt never fails to remind me that things happen in HIS time, not our time.
The surgery of my son and the activities I planned after the surgery proved [...]

It’s Over!

At last, we can move on!
I have written about recurring fever and VUR in my previous posts. But I haven’t really made any connection with these posts with our Little Dynamo. I guess this post will be the most personal post that I can write here.
Now that the surgery is over and the daily monitoring [...]

Super Why, MSN and the Little Dynamo

As expected, hospital television channels were all just in Korean. My Little Dynamo would say, “But Mommy, it’s in Korean“. He always wanted to go home to his own TV:-).
When he can’t really take any Korean children’s show anymore, I just had to share my laptop with him.

Much as his Daddy wanted to watch him [...]
