Working so Hard

I've been working so hard these past days, my usual weekdays routine starts at 8:30am and ends at 6:30pm. I know, it means lesser time to play with Jedi. But i always try my best not bring any school work at home, and I promise myself to spend every weekend and holiday with my husband and Jedi.

If working so hard would mean I could buy Jedi toys that we could play with together ..

and seeing him this happy, working so hard has been so worth it.

If working so hard would mean that we could eat and play at MCDO play place..

and see him play, run, climb up and down, play with slide and watching him having FUN and hearing his laughters. Working hard is really worth it.

If working so hard would mean Jedi could ride a carousel or in a slow moving animal toy..

and seeing him having a good time. Working hard is worth all the sacrifices and tiredness.

Diary of a Teacher 101

"I do have a lot of kids who are wonderful, funny, difficult, tiresome, loud, sweet little blessings in my classroom. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE all of them and so thankful for them, it's just that they are draining ALL the energy and patience I have."

There are a lot of times that they get so loud, so difficult to handle, pulling my patience to the extremes and a lot of times I seat in a TIME-OUT chair (I need a moment to breathe in and out and to calm myself).

What keeps me going? Knowing that there are parents who believes in my strength, my sweet little blessings who are looking up to me and knowing that as they say good-bye to me at the end of the school year they have learned a lot from me.

Inspite of it all, they are still my sweet little blessings, and I'm most grateful for them!

Catching Up - t.h.a.n.k.S

Hey, there!

I still have one day to catch up the linky party before it closes.

Sunrise and sunsets are one of the few things that are wonderfully made by God. 

Photo taken last January 01, 2012

Sunrise reminds me of a new beginning! New chances, new opportunities and new challenges.

Thanks to my brother for this photo.

Sunsets reminds me that everything ends. A not-so-good day and problems  will come to its end. It might be not today, but surely it will.

Thanks Blog Hoppin' for hosting this fabulous party.

Better late than NEVER - t.h.a.N.K.s

Past week has been CRAAAAZY! I got lost track of time, that I ended up cramming for the things that needs to be done. I've been juggling up motherhood, school responsibilities & church responsibilities.

Anyway, I wanted to finish the weekly thankful - so, I've got two letters in one post today.

I love nights or evenings! It's the only time of my day that I get to spend with my family. Cuddle up with my hubby and son, that's why I always try my best not to bring any work at home. I just wanted to spend every night with my family and not working (though, sometimes I really, really fail on that part.)

Despite the wickedness this world has, I still thank God for people who are very kind-hearted. This world needs MORE kind-hearted people.

I am linking up with the fabulous girls of Blog Hoppin'. 

Day 3 - Here I come!

Oh, no.. I'm late for DAY 3..

BUT as they say, "Better late than NEVER"..

I am loving this linky party that the awesome gals from Blog Hoppin' came up to.

And Day 3, I am thankful for..

And I really mean "FEW", 'coz I've really got a LOT of favorite things. I'll focus on the things I love collecting, eat or drink.

First, I love collecting stickers, notepads, sticky notes of various kinds, colors and sizes. Its been a lot of help to me in the teaching ministry, on-the-spot making notes and letters. And of course, I also love collecting pens and markers - of different kinds and colors.

Secondly, is BOOKS. These are few of the books I've bought for my son. Books here in our place are quite expensive, but I always make sure that I could buy a one or two books every month. By the way, my son is 16-months old.

The books below are felt books and hole/wordless book, the most favorite books of my son for the time being. :)

And LAstly, COFFEE..

I love coffee and stuffs that go with it. The mugs and tumblers.

How about you? What are you thankful for?
