Walking home from school normally becomes our afternoon exercise everyday. Our home is 15 minutes far from the road. We need to climb up a little since the house is located on the hill. I never remember a day that I didn’t ask him of what happen in school. My son loves school a lot and I want him to feel that as much as possible. So the road seems to be the right venue for a little chat about it.
Sitting in the plaza and feeling the breeze of the wind at the center of town is our usual recreation on the weekend. My son loves seeing the other children playing there and if he’s lucky he finds new friends to play with.
He loves me painting his face with beautiful colors. I beleive he doesn’t know much about art yet but he feels liking arts. I love looking at him anyway and he enjoys that.
These days, he spend most of his time in school and he does things mostly related to it. I believe the very foundation of a person is build at home and in school. Philippine Education is getting tougher each year. And yet, I wish my son to see that it’s not about the difficulty he normally faces in school everyday; it’s the fun he found in learning new things that would probably make him a greater person in the future is the best achievement he can get from it.
There were days that life seems difficult and unhospitable. Problems arises and going out for a sweet creamy softie is the only way to ease them. I love him seeing with a smiling eyes while eating the ice cream in celebration. Children needs good stuff to turn the ir moods upside down.
Swimming is fun not just for adults but more so to kids. My son can’t swim well yet but he loves the fascinating feeling that only water can bring. Free beaches are just 15 miuutes away from home and indeed beautiful especially early in the morning or near sunset where the sun is not high.
Most mothers say, molding kids temperament and personality is the hardest job a mother could get. I swear it is. But honestly it’s getting easier each day because I love my son and I never do anything that will turn him to worst.
Thank you for reading.
Until next time!

Good morning Hazel! I see you are up early, actually it is 4:53am in Palm Desert, what time is it in Cabul? I love the momma/son relationship you share on your blog. He is adorable and you are very lucky to have him in your life. My son is 45 and also adorable. I am Filipino-American myself but I have never been to the Philippines.
I enjoy your blog and when I see your name I think “Angel”
Have a great day!

It’s early in the evening here Pat. And yes it is a good thing to have children. I also want that when they grow old they will remember me not just as their mother but as a friend.
By the way you said you are Fil-Am. I’m happy to hear that. Anyway, I live in Cebu. That’s in the central part of the country. So you know quite well with Filipinos. Nice meeting you anyway. You are so diligent in blogging. I envy you. You have gathered quite a number of followers.

one by one my friend… one blog at a time. 🙂 I am retired, somewhat, and I have taken pictures for years, just kept them to myself, for my own enjoyment. It feels good to share them, and to see others enjoy them as well.

Hi Hazel— love, love this tend post. It’s sweet to see how you fill your sons life with good things. We have 4 kids now grown and 3 grand-girls now. And I still love being a mom– having the kids come in for a stay or talking on the phone. There’s nothing better.
