Manuel had another karate competition. It was to see if he would be able to move to another level. He was not going to get a new belt. He was just going to be more advanced in training but still have the same color belt. Read more »

My birthday was yesterday and I got a few good gifts from friends and co-workers. Some were gag gifts that really made me laugh. Some were simple birthday cards. Some were gifts that i could really put to good use. The best gift though came from my kids. Read more »

Someone asked me what I wanted in life aside from securing my children’s future. To be honest, I’m not quite sure. Read more »

Wants

People always say that the children are our future. That is why I work hard for my own. Because I know that they have the opportunity to change what lies ahead. Let me just share my thoughts on that. Read more »

Life of my own

Friends at work have often asked me to join them for drinks after a hard day at work but I always declined. Some of them have ridiculed me for not having a life.

With me being so busy with work in an effort to make a brighter future for my kids, the weekends are the only time I get to really spend quality time with them. This weekend, instead of going out of the house to have fun, we all decided to have fun inside the house or at least, near it. Read more »

Sharing

21 February, 2007 (19:10) | ciaomaties | No comments

Sorry for the depressing note of the last post but let’s just look at it as me wanting to know how the different readers of this blog cope when faced with that situation. So don’t be surprised if I go asking for some input every now and then.

It could be another way of my saying hello to the rest of the world. If I can’t learn from you personally, maybe sharing some experiences via this blog could help.

From tips on parenthood, views on relationships and even questions on life, I’d be writing and sharing about them. All I ask is that people share with me too and help me in my cause of saying hello to everyone. We could all learn from each other if we are not selfish with what we already know.

Take this for example, I raise my kids by giving them knowledge that I learned from my experience. They learned because I shared. If I was selfish with what I know, then they would not grow up to be nice people.

Sharing is a good thing.

After telling you about a little about myself and a lot about my children, I guess I should tell you more about me. And I guess that explaining the name of this blog would help a bit. Read more »
