It’s a Start…

Saturday, 13 December,2008 jencc 5 comments

A few days ago, P had a quiz in Chinese.  When the quiz was returned and I checked it, he had an additional mistake, which would take his score to 7.5/10 (and this means “just passed”).

So, without mentioning the 7.5, I told him that he made an additional mistake in one number that his lao shi missed.  (She checked it correct rather than marked it wrong.)

Happy Things When I’m Sick

Thursday, 11 September,2008 jencc 7 comments

I’m been sick since last night.  And I hate feeling sick only because I hardly am.

My joints hurt (eto pala yung feeling!), my head hurts, my throat hurts!

But despite all that, these are the highlights of my “I feel like sh*t sick” day…

7 over 10

Sunday, 17 August,2008 jencc Leave a comment

Okay, so sometime into the quarter, S and I receive this note from P’s Chinese teacher that among the listening drills and quizzes he’s taken, he’s gotten a 7/10 and a 7.25/10. I told S about it but quickly filed it in the “it’s not a big deal” file. I mean, what the hey, seven has more checks than Xs, right? And really, since I figure that if he understands and can say the words anyway, then fine, right?

Lauriat

Friday, 21 March,2008 jencc 4 comments

We attended a wedding of a cousin and brought the boys a few weeks ago and dinner was done Chinese style — a lauriat.   This means that there were several courses (10 or 11!) from appetizers (cold cuts) all the way to dessert.

To make sure P eats (he can be picky), I checked out the menu they left on the table to know what was going to be served. Then I told him what to expect for dinner.

Generosity

Monday, 10 December,2007 jencc 1 comment

I’ve been feeling under the weather lately and felt the need for warm soup.  So yesterday, Sunday, P and I went to Masuki (in Sekai Center along Ortigas) to have some noodles.

(side note:  Masuki is from the same family who own and run Mamunlok, the noodle house.)

What is a Happy Gram?

Thursday, 29 November,2007 jencc 2 comments

Because of this post, I had several people ask me what a Happy Gram is.

Really, since I’m not from the same school as P, I have no idea what a Happy Gram is. Is it something that when you give it out, makes the receiver happy? It seems so because he was. LOL! =)

So I did a bit of research and asked those who were from that school—that one where they give out Happy Grams. Here’s what I found out. Read more…
