Oh well, I got an award from my Bicolana pal "Cleo" and though it took me about four days to show it off, I certainly knew she would comprehend my reason for the delay. Thanks a bunch girl for crossing my name into your wit hahaha. I have been caught up with a lot of things around here lately. My dear dearest had finally put up the privacy fence that devides our property from the neighbors on the right. Whew! that's really one tough task, I tell you. I've picked after him plus I planted some colorful flowers at the front yard and cleared some unwanted "eyesores" from the view. My darling Clementine and I are both "meticulous" when it comes to our yard hahaha. Talkin' about "finicky" "fastidious" couple and though not to the extreme, we want our yard to look tidy. Who doesn't ?. We weren't in any competition to have a "manicured lawn" but at least we managed to own a clean cut one.

Thursday was my kids "Awards Day" at school. Jann had hers in the morning at around 8:30 and Josef had his in the afternoon. It was a sight to see countless of vehicles at the school's parking lot. This year's awards day was a big "turn-out". It's indeed an "eventuate". As expected, Jann our baby girl, swept-clean" all the certs that's available from her teacher. After the event, me and my dear dearest headed to "Waffle House" and had our breakfast. To be honest with you, it's a "weird feeling" not having the kids with us that morning. I am sooo used to be on the go with all four of us and to realize that our table just have two occupants that morning gaves me a chill. After Waffle House, we did some running around and stopped here and there. At 12:30 we need to be back to school to see Josef's award ceremony which of course we did. Josef got all the certs that he deserved and boy, it was a flying moment when he got the "overall award" for best in Language. I have nothing to prove anymore b/c both of my kids are really good if not great in their studies. Their academic skills are "unbelievable". He'll be in the "Middle School" come August. And as what as I told him......"it's another whole new ballgame" out there. These parents who are "kiss-ass" who cooks and bakes and brought their wagons and mules for the party that way their kids will get something during the awards day, IT'S OVER WITH. If your kids doesn't have it, you might as well give up your hope to get a medal at the end of the school year. Middle School won't give medals away unless you study hard for it. Thanks for reading and I hope I entertain you thru my post today !!!

Congratulations to your kids Jeth. They are amazing for bringing home the pride. I am truly happy for their excellence at school.

HA HA. I would love to see those wagons and mules Jeth. You are very funny. You mean to tell me some parents really acts that way. I won't waste my time to win my kids teacher's favor if my kids aren't capable of doing good from their own means. I understand exactly what you mean. That isn't fair but who sounds a LOSER? It's definitely not your children. You are awesome and I do know that you believed in a fair game.

Happy Sunday Jeth. Wow your kids are really amazing for bringing home tons of certificates. Shake their hands for me. Congratulations, I am very happy for both of them....

Am very glad to know that your smart kids swept clean those certs and brought them home. Jeth, isn't that wonderful to have two bright kids who excels academically all the time? There is no doubt you are a mother of two honor students. I'm very proud of them.

Your kids are terrific. My big congrats to them.

Hi Jeth, yep, I think you were right.If kids don't have it they just dont have it. I use to think that if parents read and really took part in their kids education, that there really is no reason why their own kids can't excell. But now that I see some other kids in junior high, I agree. Some kids are just smarter than others! haha! Plus I don't even tutor or train my kids! Its all natural. haha! No amount of cookies and cakes will make the grade go up! I chuckle to myself everytime I hear other parents who tell their own kids..why can't you be like Aly or Grace? I know parents shouldnt do that but honestly, I can't help it if my kids excell in everything consistently! So I congratulate your daughter my dear! and you your hubby too!
