ang huwarang pamilya

Malapit nang matapos ang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa. At bilang paggunita sa kahalagahan ng pagmamahal sa sarili nating wika ay tatanghalin ang isang paligsahan sa eskwelahan ng aming panganay na anak.

Para sa Junior Advanced Casa, ang paligsahan ay isahang pagbigkas ng tula at ang napiling tula ay:

 
Ang Huwarang Pamilya
 
Sa aming tahanan
Buo ang pamilya
Lubos na kasiyahan
Aming nadarama

Maaga pa lamang
Iyong makikita
Haligi ng tahanan
Hayun nasa palayan

Ilaw ng tahanan
Laging nariyan
Tunay na mapagmahal
Maasikaso talaga

Si kuya, si ate
Maasahan din
Masipag, magalang
Magaling sa eskwela

Itong aking pamilya
Magandang huwaran
Sa aking paglaki
Sila ang tutularan 


 
We have been egging TL#1 to memorize the poem. It's a bit of a struggle because we exposed him to the English language. Now, we're trying to help him learn to speak in Tagalog. He has already memorized the words but wouldn't listen and try to speak in the proper intonation. He apparently did not inherit my penchant for declamation and impromptu speaking. Dati yun, noong hinde pa ako marunong mahiya, noong feeling ko napakagaling ko. Napakatinis pala ng boses. Hehe. B-cooowz!

Good luck, teachers!
 
Tinuruan kasi mag-English tapos ngayon pipilitin mag-Tagalog. Hehehe. Alam na! Mabuti na lamang at Isahang Pagbigkas ito. Tama ba, ibig sabihin sabay-sabay sila magbibigkas ng tula? Pasensya na ha, Ilokana ak met ngarud.

a brief trip to (smelly) Manila Zoo

Manila Zoo. There was a time a long time ago when the mere mention of Manila Zoo made me feel giddy with excitement. I have committed to memory a childhood picture where I was happily posing in front of a peacock pheasant. Simple joy! I hail from the province and a trip to Manila used to be so special. What I didn't realize until I had children is that I was lucky to have grown up a probinsyana  - to have the fields, vast expanse of free space and hills as my playground. To have flowers to pluck, leaves to gather, dragonflies to catch, trees to climb, free fresh fruits to eat. My kids aren't as lucky. That's why a trip close to nature is a treat for our children. We brought the kids to Manila Zoo yesterday, as reward to our pre-schooler for winning the Interbranch science quiz bee in school. He loves animals and was happy to see the elephant, the birds, the tigers and the crocodiles. He was indifferent to the smell and the dilapidated look of the zoo. I don't know if Ma

status update (and complaints) on our compliance with Kasambahay Law

We have successfully registered as household employers in all government agencies - SSS, Philhealth and HDMF or Pag-ibig, our household helpers now have their SSS, Philhealth and HDMF numbers and we have paid our contributions for the months of July and August. We are just lucky that the husband had time to line up in SSS and Philhealth and I asked a favor from someone who was going to HDMF. The husband told me the queue in HDMF was the worst. Someone said it was because payment of contributions are also coursed through the HDMF office and not through banks or other payment centers. The government imposed an additional burden on us who employ household helpers. The least they can do is to make compliance less burdensome for us working class who don't have the luxury to take weekdays off. I think I have earned the right to complain. We hire helpers because we don't have the luxury of time. Every precious minute counts. It is the hard truth for parents like us whose days are fill
