Adult Size Halloween Costume
My Chris is in Grade 2 level but he cant find any Halloween costume in the kids section. So instead of buying the usual superhero costume, they opted for an adult creepy halloween costume which is just right for the ocassion.

Meet Princess Alexa
Meet our Princess Alexa! She is always fascinated anything about princess, pink, barbie and all beautiful things. She has some halloween costume already but they were already too small for her. She particularly requested for a long dress and her wish was granted when the office bought her a new princess costume for trick or treat this year.
Isn't she pretty? No, she hates pretty - she wants to be called "beautiful" as "pretty" is for mommy! lol :)

Creepy Halloween Costume
This is what they bought for my Kuya. He looks so creepy right? Oh well, since he is big in his age, no superhero costume that fits his built, so they bought him the halloween costume from the adult section. It looks nice though!
Since this is quite big for him, we could still use this for the next Halloween party!

Dog is sick
This is our pet Diego, 5 months old Shih Tzu princess breed. He is sick for the 2 days already. Mommy sent him today to the Veterinarian just across Citta Italia. He is vomiting foamy saliva most likely he has an upset stomach. His temperature is just normal but still very weak.
See you soon Diego! Get well soon!

Citta Italia Trick or Treat 2013
Halloween is one of the event my kids look forward to every year. Months before that, they would always suggest already the costume they want to wear during Trick or Treat. But this year, the kids didn't pester me to buy a new costume as the school celebration only suggested to wear something colorful. Good for me as I dont have to spend money for the new costumes.
For our village Trick or Treat, we used the old costumes last year even though its a little bit small for the boys.
Anyway, here are their latest photo.

How To Stick To Studying For IBM Certification Exams
It's easy to say that you're going to spend a lot of time
studying for IBM
Certification Exams, but it's another thing to actually do it. People have
trouble sticking to their lofty study ambitions for many reasons, but the
following tips will help you to make your studying a success. This is how you
stick to studying for IBM Certification Exams.
Create A Study Schedule You Can Stick To
You want to create a study schedule that is written or typed
out, and you want to make it one that you can stick to. It is nice to say that
you'll spend every free moment studying, but if this isn't realistic for you,
then don't plan to do it. Create a study schedule that you know you can stick
to even if it takes you a little bit longer to get ready for your IBM exam this
way.
Constantly Remind Yourself Why You're Doing This
To keep your motivation to study going strong, remind
yourself why you're doing it. Think of getting a high score on the IBM exam and
achieving whatever it is that you want to achieve by getting this
certification. Picture it, and get excited about it. You will study much more
enthusiastically when you remember its purpose.
Use Study Tools That Give You Noticeable Gains
Another way to keep your motivation strong is to show
yourself that you are improving by using IBM certification study tools that
give fast results. The study tools
available at ExamTrace are ideal because you
will see yourself improving every time you study.

Monster University Inspired Cake for Chris 8th Birthday
This is a late post but I still want to share with our readers the Monster University Inspired Cake made by my favorite Ph Bakehouse.
Monsters University is a 2013 American 3D computer-animated comedy produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
We celebrated his birthday in school. We bought Jollibee food and brought this cake in school for cake blowing. The time alloted in school is only during recess time so we didn't do much but distributed the chicken and spaghetti and asked Christoph to blew the cake. One thing for sure, this cake was very popular in school.

Stripes Polo Shirts
I was told by the boys that something with stripes will already do the job for their costume fun day event on Thursday. I haven't found any suitable costumes yet, but just to prepare for the worse, I already bought something with stripes.

Candyland Costume Fun Day
The first semester of the school year will end soon, to end the school year, the school organized a Costume Fun Day. This year's theme is Candyland Costume.
Last year's theme was Superhero thus the old costume that we bought is no longer valid aside from the fact that they have outgrown these costumes already. All of them do not fit anymore. Sigh. Its a high time for me now to check on what I can recycle.
Three years ago, I bought Alexa her Strawberry costume to join the Halloween Trick or Treat in Ayala Alabang. Its a little bit small for her, but I also dont want to spend another Php 1,000 for her outfit this year. This costume should somehow fit with the current's theme. I will have to find ways on how to repair this or perhaps spend a little and ask for professional help. I don't really trust my sewing skills. :)

Pet Meet-and-Greet Day
Today is the official World Animal Day but the school where my kids attended celebrated yesterday. The kids were asked to bring their special animals / pets in school through Pet Blessing.
There were iguanas, hamsters, fishes, cats and dogs all over the school.
The kids took our Shih Tzu breed dog named Diego. Alexa named him after Diego, cousin of Dora the Explorer.

The kids introduced Diego into their classes. They had a blast in school!

Guide to buying your kid’s first laptop
With
technology dominating today's society, it is only a matter of time before even
your youngest child starts running rings around you when it comes to their
digital know-how. While parents are right to be cautious about buying children
their own laptop, computers are increasingly used in children’s education and
having use of their own can benefit them in college and employment further down
the line.
However,
purchasing the right one can be a difficult undertaking, with various
considerations to bear in mind. So here is what you should think about before
you buy your child their first laptop.
How
old is your child?
The
age of your child will make a huge difference in deciding what laptop to buy.
Offerings from VTech and Fisher-Price for example are made specifically for
babies and toddlers. These feature mainly educational games and can be
purchased very cheaply.
However,
kids grow up incredibly quickly and for any child starting school, a standard
laptop made by a reputable manufacturer is recommended. If they find
the larger 14’’ or 16’’ models too big, small options are available, such as
the tiny 10’’ Netbook.
What
will it be used for?
Again,
a lot will depend on the age of your child, but the majority of kids will use a
laptop for educational purposes, to play games and access the Internet.
When
it comes to learning, there are a great deal of software programs and online
resources available. Even though your child will be staring intently at a
screen, the interactive nature of computers is far better than simply watching
television.
But
for the majority of parents, the biggest worry is your kids browsing the Internet.
Thankfully, laptops running Microsoft Windows include parental controls so you
can restrict what content can be accessed. This said, the best way to protect
your child from online dangers is by discussing and talking about the issue
with them.
What
type of laptop should I buy?
Netbooks
are an affordable, small and lightweight option that still feature great
computing ability and commendable battery life. You can't go wrong with any
netbook from well-known companies such as Asus, Samsung or Toshiba.
Due
to their functionality and potential longevity, it is advisable to buy a laptop
rather than a tablet. Even though the popularity of these handheld devices has
dramatically increased in recent years, laptops
are better designed for typing and schoolwork, as well as the fun stuff
like gaming and browsing web pictures that tablets provide.
