The Philippine’s 15th President

Congratulations to our new president Benigno Simeon Aquino III!  He preferred to be called PNOY because according to him it is closer to the people and to use BSA as his initial to commemorate his father.  I just watched his inauguration together with Vice President Jejomar C. Binay.   Pnoy is the 15th president of the Philippines and his mom is the 11th.  This is also a history to be noted, mother and son in presidency.  Today is a special holiday and we ought to watch the reason of this  holiday.  I was so relaxed watching the program over GMA Network  sitting on a patio furniture while eating my lunch.  Sean was by my  side and I tried to explain in his wee little mind what was going on.  Guess he understood. :-)
International star Charice Pempengco sang the National Anthem as the program starts.  I was teary eyed while listening to her golden voice (don’t know why).  It is nice to saw Pnoy  riding in his official car with plate no. 1, stepping for the first time in Malacañang Palace as the head of the nation, heading the oath taking of the local and national officials, and held the first cabinet meeting.  I’m sure majority of Filipinos all over the world witnessed the said event and hoping for changes.  We are hoping that the new President will make the Philippine progress for the next 6 years.  To you President Aquino…  May the good Lord bless you and give you the best of health and wisdom to rule our beloved country, the Philippines.  How about you, how do you picture the Philippines under his administration?

Movie Treat

Iron Man 2 was the last movie that we had watched.  We didn’t want to miss it for we also saw the first part.  I became more excited to see it when I saw the still photos via chicago search engine optimization and I was right!  Part 2 has more action scenes. Its a very nice movie.  We didn’t care the long line when we watched it, actually it made us more excited.

On Sunday, I’m planning a movie treat for Sean.  We’re going to see Toy Story 3.  Just a short break from his strenuous lessons from school.  He needs it. Hahahaha….

Spoiled Vacation

Too bad I didn’t able to take vacation in Baguio City or in Tagaytay last summer due to some reasons.  What I planned was to be a backpacker with Sean.  I’m very sure he will love it.  I’m thinking of going there this season for a break from work.  Mmmmmm…. I wonder if there are electric fireplaces in the area coz I’m sure its already cold in those places.  But on second thouhgt… I can’t!!! Tatay is with me since last week and I can’t go away for long.  Stay Arlene! Stay! Hahahaha…

A Whole New World

Preschool years were over.  Sean just entered Grade 1 in Dee Hwa Liong Academy (Chinese school)located in Marcos Hi-way, Pasig City.  It is a new world for him and he will really have a huge adjustment in regards to studies.  He was so excited on his first day of school. He was excited to wear his new uniform, shoes, to pull his first ever wheeler bag with his books, notebooks, promotional pens, and other supplies in it.  But of course he was so excited on his new lunch bag and to meet new friends.  

At 7 in the morning on June 15, 2010 his school service fetch him up, but since it was the first day of school, I decided to go with him to guide him to his second home.  We met his cousin, Cyrus who happened to be his classmate.  While me and my sister-in-law, Cris enjoyed watching what they did on the first part of the class, I am very sure that Sean was kinda nervous when he was the first one to introduced himself in front of the class.  But he did it!!!  Now what I am praying is that he can cope up with his studies easily.  I know it would be hard for him and me of course as his tutor.  But I know God will give wisdom and courage to face his whole new world.

Jovit Baldivino Made It

I was right!  Jovit Baldivino, the lad from Batangas won as the first grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent.  I knew it from the day of audition when I heard him sing “Faithfully” and when he made Ai Ai delas Alas cried while watching him.  Me and my mom watched the program together and she asked herself “I wonder who will win”.  I answered her with no doubt “Its Jovit”.  She then asked, “Why did you know?”  I replied with “I just know”.  Jovit brought home the grand prize of 2 million pesos.  He was now being interviewed what he’s going to do with the money.  In full sincerity he answered… he will buy house and lot for his family, bring himself to school as well as his siblings.
Now the question is… if he’s going to push through his dream of going back to school when now that he’s receiving lot of offers from ABS CBN and Star Records?  Well… I guess he will but not into formal schooling but with sat prep or online studies which some schools offer now.  It doesn’t matter how he will do it.  I just hope that he will pursue his studies inspite of his coming stardom.  Because stardom can be taken away in just a snap of finger but education will linger as long as he live.
