Lesson from a child:
Cheers!
Almost everyday during our meals at home or when dining out, Albert
always calls for a toast with a matching "Cheers!". How good life will
be if we can always be thankful for each day, regardless of how good or
bad the day is, because surely there's always something to be thankful
of. Most of the time we complain about our work (we should be thankful
that we have a job), we envy others or simply unhappy about our
situation. It's really amazing how our kids can teach us to see things
in a better perspective. May we always open our eyes to see their
perspective that happiness comes from appreciating the little things
that we have or do.

Lesson from a Child: Unity
Lesson from a Child:
Unity
Today, Albert and I went to the Singapore City Gallery at URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority). The gallery showcases Singapore's remarkable physical transformation from past, present and even the future. Albert was astonished with the beauty of Singapore's model 270 degree sights and sound show. While looking at the wall pictures from the 1950s, I told Albert how amazing the big change of Singapore in a such a short span of time & I felt sad for the Philippines. He answered to me, Singaporeans are united and willing to work hand in hand.

Lesson from a child: Don't give up. Sometimes the reason for giving up is laziness.
esson from a child: Don't give up. Sometimes the reason for giving up is laziness.
Our house was messy because of our house painting work in progress. Our books and stationeries we're stacked. Last night he was looking for our label printer and I was so tired and lazy to look for it. So I just told him it was under of some boxes and asked him to use pen to label his notebook instead without trying to know where it was. He was very persistent and never gave up to ask for Alvin's help to look for it. And they found it. But there was no battery and told Albert again, just use pen to write. But still he was persistent to print the label, he took the battery from our aircon remote and it worked. He managed to print his name and after that he told me that "Please mommy don't give up so easily next time." Ouch..

Lesson from child: List your to do's so you won't miss any at the end of the day
Lesson from child:
List your to do's so you won't miss any at the end of the day.
I'm a little bit forgetful person. Albert was a little bit unhappy that I forgot to sign one of his worksheets. He reminded me but i couldn't really remember that he did. So he gave me a solution, he went to the room and took a white paper and pen to write my to do's so i won't miss anything. Our minds are sometimes loaded with so many things that we forget those things that we think are not so important.

Lesson from a child: On doing your best and not expecting rewards...
Lesson from a child:
On doing your best and not expecting rewards...
Today, Albert got his results for his exams and he surpassed my expectations. He didn't study last weekend because of his Natgeo and Mother's Day activities. After telling me the results, I asked him if he wanted something as a reward after getting those marks. He said, "I did my best and it's for my own good and not for any rewards" .
...I wish i could think this way. I wish adults could think this way.
