The National Cheerleading Championship is now on its 5th season. My daughter’s school was part of the finals for the All Girls High School Division.

I enjoy watching this kind of competition. Even as spectator, the rush of adrenaline cannot be avoided as you watch the each of the teams try to achieve their flawless routines, execute those intricate gymnastic moves such as tumbling and cartwheel and of course, the nerve wrecking stunts for the flyers. These flying stunt is one that makes me screech whenever they throw those bodies in mid air.

My girl and her team was in for a real competition this time. Last year, they were invited only for an exhibition to introduce a new Juniors Division for the NCC.

It was a tough competition for all the competing teams. This is my daughter and her team mates as they anxiously await the announcement of the winners.

Although they did not bag the 1st place, they are all winners. They came in as 2nd runner up. You can see that most of them were quite disappointed, but they put up a good fight. This is what’s good about exposing your kids to sports, they get to face failures and be a better sport. Next year will be another year and hopefully they’ll do better. Congratulations to all of you!

What about your weekend? I hope you had an enjoyable one. Join us and share the highlight of your weekend.

Boys are so into the toy called NERF nowadays. It’s basically a gun for kids with darts as bullets. Initially, I am so against buying toy guns for my boy, but seeing how safe it is to play plus his close friends all have it. It’s the mother’s soft heart that made me agree to buy this toy for his birthday.

But one cannot enjoy this alone, you need to play it with friends. Fortunately, his classmate decided to have a “Dart Tag Party”. The kids were so excited to attend. It was an intimate party held at their residence.

It was one of those moments that you get to see the boys sweat and play, which I believe is good for their generation. Since most of them can stay in front of the computer, TV or console game the whole day, this kind of play is a refreshing change. Reminds me of how filthy we get every time we play outside when we were kids.

Well, of course did have their own kind of enjoyment while the kids are at play.

It was already night time when the kids decided to rest for awhile but still play .

It was the celebration of my li’l man’s birthday this weekend. Nothing grand, we just watched a movie of his choice and ate out after. One thing we have made our kids understand is that they cannot have a party every time they celebrate their birthdays. I believe it’s better like that so they do not get frustrated.

We watched Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief together with their friend – who is like part of the family.

The kids enjoyed their usual movie house snack — popcorn, and my boy’s fave — nachos!

After the movies, we decided to have a late dinner.

Happy Birthday to my dearest boy! May the Lord continue to guard and protect all the days of your lives! I love you, my dear son!

How did your weekend go?

Weekend was nothing different from the usual busy schedule that I have. But perhaps, the highlight would be this stationary bike. It’s nothing out of the ordinary but for me it is a milestone in my hubby’s life.

We chanced upon this after doing our weekly grocery. No, I did not push him to buy it. In fact, it was he who spotted this equipment and to my surprise, he was really eager to buy it. To give you a brief history, I have been inviting hubs to join me every time I go to the gym but he refuses. Quite frankly, I have been very concern with his health ever since he stepped the big four-O. He, in fact, admitted that when he reached this age, he started feeling a lot of things, prompting him to have regular check – ups.

Recently, he’s been very conscious about what he eats, which brings a smile to my face. Ever since we got married this has been my struggle to make him eat more healthy foods but I guess it was just a matter of time before he realizes and now, he’s the one telling me to buy more of the foods and drinks that he don’t normally want to eat. At least, he’s now health conscious!

Now, the challenge is if he will regularly use this or will it remain to be one of the decorations in the house?

The highlight of our weekend was our attendance to a fund raising concert. I must admit that in all of my blogs I try not discuss politics. The main reason is that I believe that people have different views and I want to respect that as much as I want people to respect my political views. However at times, one has to make a stand.

The fund raising concert was dedicated to the members of the Magdalo group who are seeking local positions in this coming local elections. Just like my BIL, the Senator, these people does not have the money and the machinery to fund their campaign hence they need an event such as this.

After fighting for what they believe in and being detained, they plan to take the fight in another arena, in the hope that they can bring the much needed change for our country. As stated in their Party Resolution…

“while observing democratic processes and observing organizational discipline, we have, more importantly, expressed profound hope for genuine national development through our support of political leaders that embody this hope for change;

The event was well attended by family and friends. It was hosted by Marc, a DJ from Love Radio and Marissa Sanchez. It was an enjoyable evening! I am hoping the best for these people.

If last week was an unusually relaxing one, this weekend was the exact opposite. It is the start of a hectic schedule for me. We ventured into another business and hopefully this one would work out well. However, this Sunday, I bought the whole family with me and made sure to go home early to relax and bond with the kids.

I just enjoy looking at them having loads of fun together, even if sometimes it annoys me especially when they get physical with each other. I just have to accept that kids are naturally playful. My teenage daughter, who has her moods nowadays was unusually kind to his brother — they usually get into each other’s nerves But this time I was able to document their playfulness and I had fun!

And of course, this is me jumping in to join the fun.

My weekend was a relaxing one, very different from the weekends I had during the holidays. I welcome this kind of break.

The highlight would be me teaching my son for his show and tell. It was before their Christmas break that he asked me to give him something for this project in school. I immediately told him to do his favorite Oreo Cake Box.

Sunday was the date we set for his hands-on experience. Since he needed to bring a finished product, I asked him to do the cake by himself, so he’ll know what to do and say during the show and tell. Of course, I was there with him along the way …

I wish him luck! I know he will do well and I am so proud that my son knows his way in the kitchen.

After that, I managed to get an appointment for a much need massage at home.

I hope to see how all your weekend went.

First off, let me greet each and everyone of you a Happy New Year! For me, New Year signals new beginnings… a time to look forward to a more positive future. No matter how gloomy the predictions may be, no one knows what the future holds, it is up to us to make the most of what we have.

Welcoming the new year is always extra special when you’re with your loved ones. My family, together with my mom and my siblings, have veered away from the usual fireworks at home. For the past couple of years, we decided to celebrate intimately by staying in a hotel and join the in-house countdown.

It’s a lot safer that way and we can still view the spectacular fireworks from the neighboring villages minus the smoke, ain’t that cool?

I hope that you and your family had a blast during your New Year’s celebration.
