Kids!


“Momai!!! When I woke up, I was sleeping on the floor!!!” 

Mimoi (our youngest, calls me Momai (pronounced as Mamay)) shouted when he saw me early this morning.

I said, “What?”, he said, with too much passion this time, “When I woke up, I was sleeping on the floor!!!” 

So, I walked to their room and true enough, the chairs that would supposedly block him from falling out of bed were turned upside down, and beside it were his pillow and blanket.

Our kids share a double deck bed, Mimoi is using the top bed, but since he was so persistent that he wanted to share bed with her sister last night, I told him, "That’s what you get from wanting to sleep beside your sister, Mymy is big and tall!"

Upon getting what just transpired into his system, he cried and cried, he just felt so bad, he said, “Mymy’s mean to me!” and cried some more…

Well, tonight, guess who’s sleeping in the same bed? AGAIN?

BUT this time, they switched sides!

It reminds me now how we learn at our own pace and time.

Sometimes, no matter how we present a solution to a problem, no matter how we want to help another, no matter how we persist our ideas… unless one is ready… one will never learn… yet!

BUT the moment, we open ourselves to change, growth or infinite possibilities… then God (or the universe or life…) begins to support us.

And then… we are never the same again! :)



NAMASTE.

    It reminds me of my childhood. When I was still 8, I have my very own queen size bed ( take note, just the bed, no mattress) but no matter how big the bed was and no matter how I would try not to fall out of bed, I would always end up on the floor each morning. My mother would not say anything when she sees me on the floor because she already knew what happened. Until I reached 10 that I started to learn to really sleep in bed without falling out of bed.

    Aww, poor boy.

    Pero tama po, kahit na anong pilit mo, one can never learn if he/she isn't willing or ready to learn. If one's ready, everything will just fall into place. But I think, it never hurts to just keep teaching and reminding. Education/learning is a continuous process, anyway. hehe.. :)

    It takes time. He will be able to figure out how to sleep on the bed without falling.

    Ahahaha dami kong naalala nung kakulitan ko nung bata pa ako! Agree. The only time we will learn is when the time we are ready to learn and accept new things and discover it by ourselves.

    Nice blog! bibisita ako ulit :)

    I've been contemplating on moving to another school for the next term but still doubting because I just thought I'm already too comfortable with where I am now though some students torment me with their behaviors every time I go to their classrooms. Today, I exploded in one of the classes after months of extending my patience with them. I cried in too much frustration that I cannt tell them what I want to say because they won't understand me anyway.

    Then, I came to this post. "BUT the moment, we open ourselves to change, growth or infinite possibilities… then God (or the universe or life…) begins to support us." so goes the post ender.

    I must really be going...

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down.  credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did.  I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license.  She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...
