It’s 12:21 am & I just couldn’t sleep with a heavy heart — see my recent post “Lean on HIM” & at the same time I also couldn’t sleep if I haven’t let it all out — for the sake of R-E-L-I-E-F… I have nobody to talk to — ‘m the only one awake in this roof & my blog is the perfect venue to release all these…
To start of, ’twas our 1st Q PTC (for my single/no child friends it’s Parent Teacher Conference) this morning. As always, I was nervous & excited to see the report card of my daughter. She is a consistent honor student — one of the top students in their class and in her grade level.I had a great time listenin’ to her adviser as she started pointin’ out the positive traits of Czeskah & how well she excel both in academic & non academic. — ah well, except for being talkative hehehe - she always have a story to tell, opinions to share etc accdg to her adviser… Aside from that, it was all positive … all praises for my little girl. Her average for this quarter is 96+ (sad to say or ironically,Filipino & Sibika are the lowest or the not so high grades considering the fact that my daughter is 101% pinoy…) — I’m always one of those parents who wears a very big smile walking down the hallway every after quarterly PTC.
I think I will always wear that big smile even if her standing is not like that… even if she doesn’t belong to the achievers circle…even if her grades aren’t that high because I know she is doing her very best every step of the way & what really really matters most is the foundation of the Christian education that instill in every gcf-ics student.

After lunch, we headed Almira’s place (Yes, Almira Muhlach-Alvarez - she’s very simple, very nice, a good friend -church mate, fellow mom who happens to have an extra-ordinary brother –who else? Aga Muhlach) — d kids enjoy swimming with their classmates ( i took video for a couple of minutes), chit chatting, eating spaghetti & ice cream, playing with the Alvarez sisters Bratz collection — my oh! my! a Bratz department store is in the house! D kids would really enjoy. While Almira’s introducing a network business to us –( personally, it’s not my thing but my dad & my mom are into networking business before.) We dropped by Hyeprmart too. twas a stress-free day!
** We had our family day last Sept 9 - a lot of families from grade 3 are in our team, Orange team - the Alvarez family, dela Paz family, Biscocho, family,Tiu-Laurel family, Ty family, Baguio family & of course Munoz family!
Out of six teams our team landed 3rd as announced in the cheering competition but awarded 2nd during the awarding(?)
I did all the cheers for our team. Leaded our team with the help of fellow moms.A night before family day, Czeskah & I went to Fabric Warehouse & I bought orange cloth for all of us to use — fr waving, raising hands, cheering etc.– before sleeping I printed 35 copies of our cheeers — good thing,we have a 20 minute time allocation for cheering practice prior to the competition coz we never practice yet at all. — here’s the catch, so, I’m the only one in our team who knows the cheer — meaning i’ll be cheer leader — i should be there during the 20 minute grace period but oh! no I also have another job to do. I was one of the in charge for the Registration of everybody coming.
As I was doin’ my duty in the registration booth — signin’ of attendance, writing their name for our name tags etc half of my mind is floating — thinkin’ ’bout our team –no cheers yet…ten mins before 8am i asked permission from our reg. head Marie that I’ll put my stuff in our team’s place –there I rushed distributing the cheers, delegate the distribution of the orange cloth & started teaching pool of parents that are so game & can easily pick up the tune — Thank God! — Thanks to our kids Illa & patricia who did the cartwheel. It looks like we practiced several tmes already. Thank God!
** My newly added role, a Sunday school teacher — it’s been 2 months now since I started as a Sunday School teacher in GCF - Greenhills Christian Fellowship. I NEVER NEVER imagine myself teaching at all but the Lord leads me to this path.
I started teaching for class age 5, 9am service ( now, 830am service) then now, I am handling age 4 830am sunday service, I attend the 11am service after I teach.
It’s a totally different feeling teaching d kids about GOD. I am not an expert to this but one doesn’t have to be — as long as you feel you have the calling to teach –go on. you’ll never know you’re next in line.
Cassy can now attend sunday (age 3) school alone without yaya in her class.She loves singing “read your bible” & walking -walking” & enjoys coloring & showin’ off her stamp star in her hand to Mommy Abhele Sunday after Sunday.. While last month, election day, Ate Czeskah was elected Class President in her Sunday School.
** Last year, I was the Parent Rep for grade 2 level. This SY 2006-07 I was appointed grade 3 Parent Representative again. Being active in everything I do comes out naturally basically because I love being involved in my kids life.I usually organized family get togethers of Czeskah’s close friends
** Growing more spiritually means gaining more Christian Moms circle of friends too since I belong now to MOMS fellowship ( for those who wants to join us –we meet every wednesday 9-12 GCF Social Hall) - I couldn’t make it every wednesday though if there are mtngs/client calls but since I manage my sked as much as possible I don’t schedule a wed. morning appointmnent.The rest of the days including wednesday afternoons are for my family,work etc. Really it’s all time management - I have to say this & remind myself too.
** My kids do watch esp Cassy playhouse disney every single day.
** I have an efficient, organized, trusted yaya.
** I have my daddy to drive me & my kids everyday to wherever destination.
** I have my mama to do the general cleaning in my place
** I have my kuya who sponsored techy gadgets & if in Pinas helps me control unnecessary expenses & cooks yummy food
** I have my sister who supports me all the way in everything that I do.
** I have Rey as my mentor for free
** I have few regular clients
** I have relatives to share special occasions with
** I have trusted & loyal friends around me
** I have JESUS in my life
Really, more reasons to be H-A-P-P-Y!
