Enjoy!
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Welcoming the Year of the Dragon!
I have to plant my 35 trees so that mother earth will smile.
I am happy that Kindermusik in my life is coming into place.
I pray for good health and a cyst-free breast and uterus.
I pray that my children will continue to dream and dream big.
I pray that Luisito will come in due time.
I pray for small miracles and little wonderful things.
I pray for friendships that last, friends that stay despite the distance
I pray that my family will live forever in my heart and in my mind.
I pray for 50 more years of honeymoon.
I pray for love and life.
Maraming Salamat Panginoon!

Kindermusik WNCI: Welcoming, Nurturing, Connecting, Inviting
Learning Module 3 is surviving role plays. I have never been spontaneous. I can be articulate if I want to, but usually I prepare for it or I have been doing it for a long time that answering instant queries was never a problem.
During the role play in the Kindermusik studio, we had to demonstrate WNCI (welcoming, nurturing, connecting, inviting) through Kindermusik philosophies, foundations of learning statements and benefits in our conversations. I felt my mind go blank, my throat constrict and my hands do funny movements at my side. My eloquence left me. I groped for words to answer my classmate "parent" inquiring about Kindermusik "Family Time". I should have, should have...but I didnt. Hehe I have no regrets. The incident just made me realize that I need a lot of work to do. I had to compensate for my limited teaching experience. I had to read a LOT of documents and answer a lot of module discussion questions at the fastest time, I had to learn quickly all the Kindermusik curricula from Village to Family Time, I had to learn all the songs. Ha! Time please be kind.
Goodbye to reading novels for now, goodbye to travelling for now, goodbye to gimmicks for now. HELLO FIGHTING SPIRIT, HELLO SPONTANEITY, HELLO PARENTS! I CAN DO THIS! God will provide!

I Believe: Go Azkals! World Cup Qualifying Game vs. Kuwait
July is a very busy month for a wondermom like me, as in full of activities that are normally not in my mommy calendar. It felt good to have hours-off to do something that is totally unrelated to motherhood like watch a musical comedy play (Care Divas which I totally loved), participate in a fun run (Takbo para sa Japan), and watch an Azkals football game (Yey for the first time).
I felt my energy coming back, that not even negative people or news around can zap it! I have never felt that "alive" in a long time, that all my senses are in full battle, waiting in anticipation of what is to come, hoping against all odds that the Azkals may hurdle the challenge against Kuwait. The beating of the drums felt like echoes of my heartbeat.
I often feel alive when I play with my children, keeping up with their energy is a totally different feeling. I had to eat a lot after or else I will be pagoda coldwave lotion hehe!
But there at the stadium, waiting with my officemates at the bleachers with no roof,only our rain coats to protect us from the drizzling rain, I didn't feel tired. It felt good to feel the cold rain, it heightened the anticipation even more. The stadium was full-packed, groups of all ages, families bringing their kids, students, barkadas, and like us, urban professionals going to watch after work, and all kinds of football fanatics.
It was my first time to watch a football game in person. I have to admit I am a football fan just recently, and I do not know the football lingo or rules. I dont even know most of the players, I only know my favorite, which is number 10 : ).
Number 10!
The stadium went wild with the first goal of the Azkals, I felt I won the lotto, everybody was jumping up and down.
However, the energy eventually deflating when the Kuwait made 2 goals nearing the end. Even if I am a newbie football fan, I can see that much needs to be improved. The World Cup will be a long journey but so much worth it.
The Philippine Azkals team deserved a standing ovation. I am proud of them for putting the country in the World Cup map, for bringing pride to the country for their spirit, for inspiring so many Filipinos to love football, and for fighting and not giving up, no matter how difficult it was. There is hope. One step at a time.
And you can be sure that by 2018, I will be in the stands with my children, cheering the Azkals, joining them in their journey again, and I bet that many Filipinos will be there!
