My Daily Thing.
At around 6: 15, I’ll wake up.  I’ll look for my iphone without phone service anymore; turn on the WIFI, and check my Facebook notifications. I’ll do some browsing and then I’ll turn it off.
I’ll step out of the bed, wake the kids up and then I’ll make some oatmeal for breakfast.
At this time, I’ll be rushing kids to wake up already, it will take a number of promptings for them to do what they were supposed to do, esp, my eldest.
My youngest, he’s ok, he’ll just ask his dad to put him out of bed to the living room and the he’ll wait for his oatmeal and he’ll be good.
We’ll all go to the car at around 7:35; then we’ll start our prayers- kids will say their prayers too, one by one; we have prayer rotation as to who goes first.
My youngest will always say, God bless the trees, God bless the houses, God bless the sun, the moon, the cars..
My eldest will say, God help us do good in school, bless the sick people so they’ll get well…
A friend’s daughter will pray differently every time, she’ll pray about China, floods, bad people… then we all say AMEN!
I’ll turn on the radio, and will just ask them to sing as I turn to their school’s street. They’ll usually request to be dropped at the back of the school building. Then off they go.
I’ll now decide as to where to go: 1) office 2) HS 3) Mid school. I am not teaching anymore, so I have an option as to where to go; to date we are (the Sped Coordinator and I, his IEP Facilitator (IEP –Individualized Education Plan for Special Ed students)) handling three schools in the district. I mostly check of compliance, making sure teachers are doing their IEPs right; and hoping to catch their mistakes prior to them finalizing the IEP.
Wherever I decide to go, as soon as I sign in, I’ll open my computer, check my email, check my blogs, say good morning to my boss; check activities i.e, IEP meetings happening today /this week, check students who need testing (to help out teachers), check/edit teachers’ IEPs – all day computer!

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...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
