Marina and
Marcelina are playing with their scooter and bike in the hallway. Lunch
of fried tuna fish and lettuce salad is
ready and waiting for Ruel to come home anytime now. A little of last night’s
super yummy ( as per the kid’s reaction) of pork Sinigang is awaiting consumption as well.
I just finished administering the California Achievement
Test form E and F to Marina for her Seton Home Study School
assessment. I hope I was able to be a good and faithful proctor doing
so.
People who are still not familiar with how and what the
principles and values of Home Schooling are or how it works, find it really hard to wrap their minds around
test being administered at home by no less than the parent.
The question foremost would be, who will secure or make sure that no
cheating is happening?
My almost canned answer through these years is: If I
cheat by leaking or giving my daughter answers or tips in answering the
question/exam, who am I fooling?
Cheating cheats no one else except the cheater!
My honest to goodness answer somehow puts any worries or confusion surrounding the
validity of test results to rest temporarily to some, but seals the deal for
me.
And just to share a bit of my principles and values in
life in the area of Honesty, is this, the true test of honesty is when, you can
truly, answer yourself, looking at yourself, your heart, and mind and soul and
say, even without security guards watching, I will remain honest and true…especially
when no one is looking because the Almighty One, is all seeing. All the time.
Forget Big Brother, or Home Land Securty wire tapping
into all Snowden can reveal, our integrity as a person, should remain, in our real and authentic
nature, our GOODNESS.

I had to do diaper change. The weather is still so
chilly. It is 20* but feels like 11* for me. Thus, diaper change is more
frequent that usual. Anyway, my little one was so up early, that, I had to give
her time and attention because she wanted to read stories. Meaning, make her
own stories about this and that, wide eyed and so eager to practice her “ Once
upon a time!” mixing up the sounds and adding
S to beginning and ending sounds. She loves to do that. I refrain from
correcting her too much, she doesn’t like to be corrected. Sounds
familiar.hahaha… As my dad would say, Ang Mangga!
Meaning to say, what would a Mangga or Manggo bear? But,
if not, another Manggo!
Hahahahahah!
I had a nice chat with my sister Hazel yesterday!
I so miss them.

Please allow me to quote once again from The Kergyma
Family Daily Bible Reflection by Father Erick Santos OFS,
May we seek healing for our physical sickness, emotionalbondages,
financial difficulties and spiritual struggles today, as we seek totouch His
cloak every day as our faith response.
REFLECTION QUESTION: Have you experienced touching the Lord and
being touched by Him while at prayer?
Lord Jesus, I claim healing of my infirmities in Your mighty name.
Our Lady of Lourdes,
(feast day Feb.11) please continue to intercede and pray for all of our
intentions and prayers.
