To Be "Unshy" One Fine Day

What a wonderful experience it has been!

So these posters were attached to the email I received from our homeschool provider two weeks ago. I felt my heart leaped as I read all the statistics and how the homeschooling movement had grown in the Philippines over the last half a decade. Then The Hunny and I decided right there and then we won't miss this TMA Family Convention for the world! It happens on a Thursday and our car is on number coding and aaah, we're homeschoolers, we'll figure out how to get there without our car. And so we ended up borrowing my sister's car to get to our destination first thing Manila-morning.

Here's a screen shot of a txt message I received from our academic consultant from TMA two days before the event. Now my heart melted as I felt the butterflies flew like crazy in my stomach, ugh. What to say? How to say? Okay, we're homeschoolers, we'll figure it out.

And it felt like I was hyper-ventilating right after I sent out this short txt reply! Dear God, what did I get myself into?

These wonderful ladies on stage help us make it happen!

We've always felt we're in good hands...

Yep. This is The Mom being "unshy" today as she shares about their own homeschooling experience with other Filipino homeschooling families. And among the hundreds of them that have their own wonderful homeschool stories to tell, she was chosen along with three others to testify and be heard. She embraced the rush, took it as a challenge, took it as an opportunity, not as one to boast but as one grateful and humbled to testify of God's faithfulness---holding her family together. YES it can be done, by God's grace.

And a home-made video to boot? Hehe... thank you for being easy on her... and thank you for your time.

This May Be The SECRET SAUCE of Art

An artist will always be influenced by their past, their cultural exposure, the travels of their youth, the mentors they were afforded, and the family in which they were raised. These have a great impact on one’s artistic inclination; they help to shape their artistic process, the way they view things, and how they translate the world in their creations. Whether it’s through music, fashion, fine arts, architecture, or any other art form, these influences always find their way to his creation being amplified in a fitting manner. For instance, Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote the timeless song “Yesterday” at just 21 years old. It resonated globally because the lyrics were remarkably profound and melancholy for someone so young. “Why she, had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said, something wrong, I don't know For yesterday” People wondered where he got his inspiration for such a sad song considering his age. Sir Paul noted that pain and grief were the key element...

What's Wrong With This House? Series: The Marble Island

My heart was in a good place when I requested my husband to include a marble island in our tiny kitchen, to which he readily obliged. We were a young couple brimming with hopes and dreams as we started building our first home. To my mind, it wouldn't hurt if we used the few pieces of immaculate white marble tiles that were left with my side of the family after enduring a business bankruptcy just years before I got married. I wanted it to serve as a reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and lovingkindness for the next generation to see. How He gently ushered my family of origin into a life of full dependency on Him in the '90s, minus the earthly possessions that my parents had invested in through years of honest and gainful hard work. It will be a reminder of how the Lord saw us through during the humbling times of letting go by way of eviction . Back then, eviction , spelled with a big "E", was not yet glamorized in the entertainment industry such as in the...

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff (and Other Homeschool Lessons)

(Photo was grabbed from Facebook Page of Karibok ang Tuktok. Gemini was used to blur the faces of the crowd.) Beyond the physical and online books that we provide for our kids, they watch our every step, every day. They look for sincerity and authenticity as we model character to them—something that happens organically at home since we’re always with them. As parents, we become the curriculum for teaching character building. And this is what will stick with them for life. Since none of us is perfect, always allow room for mistakes and erasures. These, too, are an integral part of their learning. Once they’re older and wiser, by God’s grace, they will get to appreciate the entire journey, with lots of sweet and precious memories to look back on. So, hold lightly. Have the grace to laugh at your own mistakes. I’d like to paraphrase Proverbs 31:25, which assures us that a woman clothed with strength and dignity can LAUGH without fear of the future. Basically, the...
