Leighanne At Precious School

              Leighanne, her father, and I went to Precious International School for the interview and assessment. She was led to the guidance clinic. Moments later, the teacher went out and told us that Leighanne was crying. So, I ask the child why.  She answered that there was a bed inside.  I told the teacher that Leighanne was afraid she might have an injection. The teacher told us to talk to the child but she still refused to be interviewed.

             This morning,we went to Montessori de Manila- Davao Branch. There was a bed but it was located at a corner which could not be seen by her. She passed the assessment test. 

My four little pigs

             Last April 2, a friend delivered four little pigs which I bought from him at a total cost of Six Thousand Six Hundred Pesos (P 6,600.00). The pig is growing up fast with our diligent feeding system. This small piggery is located at the back of  our house. I hope to buy another pigs after three months. Every morning, I tend to my garden which I planted with ornamental plants and vegetables. I also do composting which I will add to the plants as organic fertilizer. It is a very  fulfilling hobby for me.

Retired

            I have just retired from teaching. The faculty club really wanted to give a testimonial party for me but I declined for the nth time. Yesterday, my co-teachers told me about it , but I refuse it.  I no longer  appreciate praises because I have been used to it when I decorate the stage, winning in competitions, among others. I simply want a quiet exit from the school.
            They have already given praises before and that was enough for me. It's been a month now since I went on retirement. I enjoyed my life now with work such as gardening, blogging to share my experiences, chatting with my daughters from abroad, praying for myself, family and other people, I will be travelling to other places.
            My retirement gives me more time to ponder on my new endeavors. I want to have a renewed relationship with God, the Giver of life and blessings.

My four year old granddaughter Leighanne

 I used to give drinking water to Leighanne when she is drenched with rain. One time , she told me

Leighanne:  "Mommy , please drink water."

Me:  " Why ? "

Leighanne:  " You just came from the rain. "

Charice

              One of the music artists I most admire is Charice. She rose from rags to riches through her unique voice. Her rendition of songs by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston are best. So far, Charice has already achieved international status as a singer, Being the only Filipino singer whose songs landed on the Billboard top hits make many Filipinos proud of her. I look forward to hear her new songs with David Foster who is her mentor.

Our Lady of Lourdes statue

 Welcome , Mama Mary.

             I now have a bigger statue of our Lady of Lourdes. With a height of more than two feet, the statue needs a new altar. I had a small statue before but sad to say, I was not able to get it back from the shop. Our lady of Lourdes made a big impact on my life when I open the website on her grotto in France.  From then on, I always  write petitions and she has answered my prayers. The statue will travel again to the place where it was blessed and stay there for two days during the LSS seminar.  

           You may write your petitions to our Lady of Lourdes by using my email- camiguin_48@yahoo.com. Your petition will be placed at the altar and I will personally pray the petition for you.. Thank you, Mama Mary.
