Education for a brighter Future

4:28 PM | Labels: , ,


I am a single parent of 10 yrs old boy and I am raising my son all by myself. It’s not easy because I am concern of two things; taking care the need of my son and my need also. I have only enough finances to provide all our needs, but sometimes I am also run out of budget. With this difficulty in life, I have to look for another job for us to keep going with our lives.

For me to set my budget easy and convenient, I made a list of the priorities that I have. I set education of my son as my top priority, which includes his tuition fee, tutor fee, and other monthly expenses. If I have to sum up all the expenses we have just for my son’s education, I would end up deficit in my budget. Now I have to look for another way, where in my son can get scholarship for his education. I went to government offices and some politicians, but they won’t accept scholarship for grade school student. This makes me feel bad; I am now struggling on my budget. However, a person I knew told me this education loan, offered by our government institutions as long as you are a member of this institution. This sounds great, I will check on this program and I am hoping this will be the solution of my problem. I am aiming give a good education for my son’ brighter future.

Education for our Children for a brighter future

10:59 PM | Labels: , , ,


Every parent this is our ultimate goal to give and provide education for our children. It is our primary responsibility as a parent to them. Sometimes we would look and search the best school that we can send in our children. We just don’t want what is due to them but as much as possible we are giving the best for them. My son is about to graduate in his elementary level and I am now in search for the best school for him to take up his college. I found this infographics that would help me determine and decide for the brighter future of my son. I believe that school would also give a big impact for the success of your son. Very seldom those lucky students who excel even if they don’t come from prestigious school. So I would not put the future of my son at stake, I see and check in balance the best school.

Nights of Pain

3:35 AM | Labels: , , ,

When the twilight comes on, and the darkness starts to envelop the whole world, that’s where the pain lingers most of the time. I can no longer imagine how my night end, one thing I am sure of its really sad and lonely night. For it’s silence gives me the moment to be poignant, its the time I am dealing with the pain, and it’s the time that its only me who shed my tears.

A lonely night that full of pain that I no longer want to get back, if only I can hold the sun to stay the longer to give me more sunshine for me to at least smile. However even the sun needs to settle and get rested. 

What about me? When can I get my break? When can this heart of mine free from any pain and aches? Soon, I hope for I really long for it.

Tears for Pain

11:50 PM | Labels: , ,



If there are tears of joy, there are also tears of pain. It’s been long time since these tears just keep on falling on my cheeks. I wanted to stop but it and not to entertain such tears but no matter how much I control it, it will just fall down. I guess tears knows much more when you are hurt or not. You may hide the pain but tears will just show up. You may want to keep the pain and ignore it for a while but tears will always be there for you to realize that you are in pain in so much pain.

I am tired of crying, tired of getting hurt and so much tired of this life that full of pain. I don’t know if pain is my twin or what, because no matter what I do, no matter how much I tried so hard to make my life easier and happy tears will always have a space. I don’t have any choice but to deal with it no matter how difficult it is, face with it with all braveness and courage. But I am just a human being getting weak and getting tired have given up and surrendered but still pain keep on sovereignty in my totally of person.

Now, I am in imprisoned for pain has captivated me. I don’t know when I could get my freedom. I just pray and hold tight that this pain would somehow depart from me completely and won’t ever come back.

Here in the Philippines it has been recently that we are celebrating a day for our Teachers. We pay tribute to all their efforts and works. It is a time giving flowers or cards to show how much we appreciate all that they have done for us to be better person.

Today, I am on the other side of the coin. I am the Teacher and it’s my students who gave me flowers and some food to eat. I enjoy how they appreciate as well as the parents thank me. It’s a nice feeling that someone is satisfied with what you are doing to their kids. It is flattering feelings deep within.

I have nothing more to asked, I am so thankful for being in this profession because it pays well not in material but with other things that no man cant count.

Its also a challenging profession for its in your hands lies the future of every child. So the challenge for every teacher is to make difference a good damn difference according to Taylor Mali.

The Challenges of a Single Parent

5:13 AM | Labels: ,

Raisings kids are hard but the challenge gets tougher if you have to do this alone. While the idea of a one, big, happy family may seem to be perfect the reality is that not everyone could experience it. Single parents should be considered as modern-day heroes. This is surely a tough act to follow considering the amount of sacrifice that these individuals have to give. In a usual family setup, the couples share on the responsibilities be it financial matters or in raising the children, if you are a single parent all these responsibilities fall into your hands.

The challenges in raising a family on your own can be classified into different categories. When it comes to money, single parents have to make the ends meet. Budgeting the monthly earnings to pay for bills, school expenses, food and other incidental expenditures requires not only skills but a great deal of patience as well. You’re lucky if you have a high paying job that could cover all the expenses but in most cases, most single parents need to work at least two jobs in order to have sufficient money for the month.

In the aspect of raising children, single parents often faced the dilemma of playing both roles to their kids. Let’s face it, during the growing years of a young boy there maybe topics that he will be comfortable to discuss with a grown up man and the lack of the father figure around the house could be raised as a question. The same goes for young ladies that are about to become matured women. Assisting your kids single handedly during this phase in their lives could be quite a task.

With double the responsibility and twice the hard work that single parents need to endure, each day presents an opportunity to come out stronger and more productive.

I'll take this step to become a Teacher

6:38 AM | Labels: ,

Before I embark myself on becoming a Teacher. Everything has been already planned from the start. All the things that I need to do from that moment I enrolled its has been planned accordingly. After the careful planning and brainstorming I am here for implementation of this plan.

When I enrolled in Post Earning Units in Education last June 2010 I'll finish the units by October of 2011 then right after that, I need to take my Practice Teaching in November 2010 and finished it by April and Graduate.

After taking the units and graduated it has been planned that I need to take another step. This time I'll be in another level, fun is not part of it. There is no enjoyment, I have to take it seriously and manage my time accordingly. Its not a joke and its not funny anymore.

I’ll start this by next month, and by that time I’ll have few hours online because I need to focus and concentrate be in front of the book most of the time. With all of this, I’ll be asking a prayer and also I lift it to our Almighty God for me to be successful in what I am aiming for.

Scholarship for my son

9:32 AM | Labels: , ,

Before the school year started, I've been looking for ways that I could apply for the scholarship, not for me but for my son's education. I asked people that I know from the local government if they could provide scholarship for a grade school student. Unfortunately, according to them, they dont offer scholarship for grade school students. All their scholarship are only for high school students.

Luckily, when I inquired in their school. They told me about the PTA Scholarship and since I am really interested on it. I immediately comply all the requirements so that for my son to be able to get scholarship. After a month, I still did not see any progress. I went to the principal's office and follow up about the scholarship.

The principal just told me a very sad news, the PTA Board decided not to accept any other scholarships. When I heard the news, I feel bad and disappointed. But there is nothing I can do but accept it and look for another scholarship available.

This all makes me wonder if I should start getting all the information I
can about how to apply for student loans I have found Guide to Online Schools to also be helpful.

It all started with a simple joke, I did not take it personally coz I know that is just one way to encourage me to go further and do my best to do things in accordance to what I am planning for. Every time Lainy and I have a chance to talked and chat, I would always tell her, how much I envy her and the other bloggers who owned a domain because they have the wider scope to earn more. Unlike me I am only limited to Inpost, SS and BV. But to my surprise, after a few days Lainy sent me an offline message and asked my PP address. I am even confused what is PP address? I thought she was offline, but still I replied and here's our chat:


Lainy: Pretty Ada, online kaba? san na PP address mo?
Ladyguinevere: Hello ever Gorgeous Lainy, ano pp address? ngayon lang kasi me nag online ehh
Lainy: paypal address. ill send u $10 for ur domain
Ladyguinevere: ahhh paypal address pala. bakit mo ako send ng $10 domain? nanalo ba ako?
Lainy: haha
Lainy: indi. kasi diba gusto mo magkadomain. u dont have to win the contest ako na ang direct sponsor hehe
Ladyguinevere: wow... really................
Ladyguinevere: I am so much delighted ever gorgeous Lainy.

After this chat, I immediately talk to Genny which is also another blogger and a friend of mine for a long time. To make the long story short, another baby is born and its http://www.traveltomydreams.com/


I dont have the exact words to say how much I am so thankful to Lainy, Genny and Mabelle (teary eyed) for being an instrument to make my dreams come true. I thought this dreams of mine will be again part of my boulevard the broken dreams. God knows how much I wanted it, and He used instruments for me not to have burden and taking my dreams come true.

I thanked you Lord for sending angels of mine (Lainy, Genny and Mabelle) to make this dreams into realization. I may dont have the exact money to pay you for what you have done, I'll just pray to our Dear Lord that you will be blessed more because I know, you know how to share your blessings. Once again and a million times
Thank you thank you thank soooooooo much.........

Life is so harsh but I'll just to take it in a positive way, maybe this is the way God wanted me to be/ Although I keep on praying, still praying and more prayers.. Ohh..

Alright before I go to bed and be in my boulevard of broken dreams... I just want to thank everyone for visiting my site, hope you keeps on coming back as often as you can. All my thanks and blessings be with you all. Have a good night for now..

A contract signing with my Son

4:08 AM | Labels: , ,

Its rainy days here in our place, so even if the weather is so cold and breezy outside that doesn't stop me being mad and furiously angry towards my son's attitude.

His habit of disregarding his assignments and neglecting in doing his own projects. He also writes terribly that he himself could no longer understand it. The worst thing is that he even doesn't know the names of his teachers in each subjects. All these things has add up to my disappointment of him, so even if the school year just started. I need to make things corrected and straighten it up.

Since I could no longer talk to him, because he just keeps on forgetting what we have discussed sometimes he would just deny what we have agreed on. I ended drafting a contract for all the things that we agreed on. Luckily enough, he also agrees as well as the punishment and rewards. I hope this will work out for the two of us.

I am not a strict parent, but with his being spoiled brat, I also need to exert a lot of effort for him to be a better man. We as a parent our main concern is for their brighter future, we could not let it go or ignore things that we know from the start will become a hindrance for their brighter future. So if there is a thing that we can do to make things better, we will do that. No matter what it is..

Start of the Class

3:52 PM | Labels: , ,

Today is June 6, 2011 is the start of classes for most of the schools here in the Philippines. My son is one of the students who will be going to the school today. He already prepares his things a day before the start of the class. From what he used to be, he wake up very early today to prepare in going to school. I can see from his face that he is very much excited to go back to school. He even requested my mom to accompany him in school instead of me. Because he wanted to be there earlier, ohh well, this will be another part of our life that we will must take on. 

Another problems and worries that we will encounter. I just dont want to dwell so much on problems nowadays. I have to concentrate and focus my mind in a more important things. For my son, wish you good luck for your new class. Keep what you have promised to me and you will be rewarded at the end. Keep strong and always study.

Yaya in need

4:42 PM | Labels: , ,

As a busy working mom, and also always on the go. Once we step out in our house, our kids will be in charge with our yaya's that we hire to work for us. Unless, we are one of those people who are lucky enough to have their mother, mother - in - law or any sister who could keep an eye for our kids once they are out in their houses.

Yaya's maybe the very low rank in the society but if you are going to take a look at it. In every home, yaya's would be needed for the family to work out. Others says that yaya is also considered as part of the family.

Some problems that we encounter with yaya are:

  1. Love and affection. As we noticed our kids are more attached to their yaya's than us. Sometimes we felt bad as a parents.
  2. Yaya will just leave without asking any permission. That really makes us feel bad, because we just cant leave our children alone in our house. So everything will be in a great trouble.
  3. Proper Hygiene. There are some yaya's who dont care about their proper hygiene. We also need to tell them to keep proper hygiene because they are handling our kids as well.
Once we will have our new yaya's it would be advisable to train your yaya for the first week. Set the rules and lay all the things she needs to do in the house. In that way she will realized that she is dealing in a professional way.
  1. Cleanliness. This is the first thing that we need to discuss with our yaya, she needs to appear clean and keep herself clean all the time in handling our kids. 
  2. Foods. As you notice there are some yaya they also used the same spoon with the kids. That is really a no no no. 
  3. Basic Child Care. Yaya must at least have basic child care. If she doesn't have if would be better to give her books to read and if not teach her. 
  4. Discipline. In disciplining our kids it will be our responsibility not the yaya's responsibility. Better tell our yaya's that if our kids do anything bad they should let us know and we will be the one to take care of it. 
  5. Love your work. For them to grow in their work in they need to love it. 
It would be good to have a good relationship with our yaya to start with we need to apply our Golden Rule in reprimanding them. It must be in a calm way with all kindness and as much as possible keep it most private. Once you are done reprimanding them always ask their side if they have any suggestions or would like to say anything.

Fear of Single Mom in raising teenage boy

9:10 PM | Labels: ,

Since I gave birth to my son, his father is no longer around. So I end up being single parent to my son. I have no question about it, I would not mind if I am alone in raising my son. I love my son very much, if the father have given up. Sorry but not me, so I could not give up being a mother to him and a father at the same time. I just take it all by myself in raising and providing for his needs with the support of my parents.

But now he is growing up and in a little while he will become teenager. So I really wonder how can I help him to be a man where in fact, I am not. I am concerned that he might dont know how to stand on his own feet. So no matter how hard I try to be a father to him that would be really impossible. I could not deny the fact, that he also needs a father figure or male role model. I began to worry and feared that I might not do as what the father can do to his son. For me not to worry this much I must do something as early as now.

Just a heads up for me, I need to know more so I started reading books that might help me and searching as well. Oh I dont have the info yet. I'll be posting if I already have some info. For now, I am really worried and concerned about it.

BC Bloggers here we go...

4:06 AM | Labels: , ,

Photobucket

I've been a member here long time ago with the Mom Bloggers Club. Joining every group that really interest me is what I am doing in this group. Then visiting and subscribing to the blogs that really catches my interest. Just today, when I opened my email I've a got message coming from Paula, then I immediately open and wow I will surely join this meme. For this week meme here is the question:

What is one tool, tip, secret (or whatever it may be) that you have discovered that has helped you in your blogging and would like to share to others?


And for my answer here it is:

I already have this blog in the year 2009, but I dont concentrate and spend some time in my blogging. At that time I am not really aware of PR or visitors and pageviews or backlinks. So I was informed that in order for me to have opportunity to write I need to have PR. Gosh, so I started from scratch visits and comments and be friendly with other bloggers. But guess what its not enough, even if I spent more than 8 hours and commenting and visiting to other bloggers. I still did not achieve what I want. I got discourage and depressed of what had happened. So I stopped blogging.

It was just recently February 2011 when I got back to my feet and started blogging again. Since I knew that I need to work on my PR, I started joing meme, blog hopping and commenting to blogs that has higher PR. I even exchange link for me to work on my backlinks and studying the CEO and everything. Guess what after a month I earned my PR from PR 0 to PR 2. Isn't that great? Well its not easy, but it pays all the effort I done.

Our sponsors for this week are:

Being a Brat and becoming a big Boy

8:45 AM | Labels: , ,



I am a single parent of 9 yrs old boy. My son is really growing fast and its seems its just yesterday that I am carrying him and teaching him how to walk on his own. The days really gone so fast, I can say that I did not enjoy so much of his childhood. I feel that if only I could turn back the hands of clock and enjoy every moment that I have with him. Ohhh.. I just shrugged my shoulder and sigh on it.

After teaching him how to walk on his own when he was toddler. Nowadays I must teach him how to stand on his own being a big boy. I would start by, letting him sleep alone in his own room. Ohh yeah, he is 9 yrs old and he still sleeps with his grandparents. Here in the Philippines, we used to sleep with our parents even when we are still young. Until we grows up and reach our elementary level we still sleep with them. I remember before, I only sleep alone in my own room when I reach my 3rd year high school. But No No, I would not let that happen to my son, he is a boy and later on he will be a man that needs to stand on his own feet.

After a long conversation with my son and with my parents. Finally, my son will be sleeping alone in his own room. I am really thankful, that my parents are really cooperative when it comes to this issue. I hope it will be a good training for son to grow up a responsible man. I'll keep on monitoring him until he gets used of it.

Full of activities in the month of May

11:46 AM | Labels: , ,

This month it started with an escapade of my classmates, we went out to some beaches near our city and we have fun so much fun. We enjoyed the white sand and the water. Although this escapade supposed to be attended by more than 30 attendees. Only 7 of us arrived in the said date.

Anyways, as long as we have so fun. Its not us who missed the fun but its them who did not enjoy the escapade.

After that escapade, the next activity I did was to linger in our house and school. This time I have a bigger challenge, because I'll be teaching a student on how to read. I know I can handle this, because I am fully equipped with the things that I needed to achieve my goal. Then at the same time, I need to help my son in his writing skills. His hand writing is really terrible, so I must do something for it to work out. I keep on motivating him, even if he keeps on disobeying me. I am just thankful that sometimes he would listen to me. Well at least I tried and hopefully it will continue until he would have a good hand writing.

After weeks of teaching, summer class just ended. Then enrollment is about to start. This would be another activity that I must attend to. We are all set and ready for the enrollment time. Hopefully it will go smoothly and peacefully.

I am glad to share my summer activity here. Although its not that exciting as it is, but at least it has sense. Anyways its really late and I need to go to sleep. Good night everyone.

3:32 PM | Labels: , , ,


Wow… I have a nice feeling to be back here at GT. Its been a long time since I joined this meme, then now here I am once again joining and participating for this week GT. But before any thing else, I would like to say a big HELLO to each and everyone of you here.. HELLO…. Hello…

Then now I guess its my time to share my most wonderful summer time. Anyways this is actually the most wonderful summertime I ever had. But for the time being I guess this is it.

My classmates and I planned for a summer escapade. Since we just graduated from our course, we wanted to unwind and reward ourselves for a job well done. Everyone agree for a summer outing. However out of 70 classmates, only 7 people arrived and show up then my son. I dont want discuss how disappointed I am, but rather I would like to discuss how we have fun and enjoyed the place.

Its a newly operated beach resort in one of a secluded island in our place. When we arrived there, its only our group who was there. Aside the one who are staying in. Anyways the place is not an overcrowded it looks more private. They welcomed us and we immediately look for a place to stay in. We definitely choose the the islet the one situated near the beach. We enjoyed the place and we have fun eating, swimming and of course picture taking here and every where..




A little pose on there umbrellas




Nothing just enjoying the rocks..


Then me and my son in their gazebo, while enjoying the over looking beach resort.

5 DEADLY TERMS USED BY A WOMAN

5:28 AM | Labels: , ,

I am so thankful that a friend of mine shared this information. So I have the chance to post it here in my own blogsite. It would be an eye opener for the men out there, to understand our terms. For them to understand us girls easily.

(1) FINE - this is the word women use to end an argument when they know they are RIGHT & YOU need to SHUT UP.

(2) NOTHING - means SOMETHING & u need to be WORRIED.

(3) GO AHEAD - this is a dare, not permission, DO NOT DO IT.

(4) WHATEVER - is a woman's way of saying F**K YOU.

(5) THAT'S OK - she is thinking long & hard on HOW & WHEN you will pay for your mistake.

I belong to the species of woman, when I read this I must say that it really hits the bulls eye. However, my words does not represents the whole woman society. What girls out there, what can you say about our deadly terms?
