Parties :)

Today was such a very busy day... Early this afternoon, we celebrated the birthday of our Big Boss. It was fun and we're all stuffed! Then, brother surprised me by texting me that he's in town for a few hour visit, then late at night... we fetch Teacher Nhorie, Luisa (yaya) and our two kids (Peachy and Trishia) at home to celebrate Nhorie's passing of the board exam at one of our favorite restaurants! Such a fun day today! I almost forgot that it was just Thursday. Tomorrow, we'll have a BIG DAY again because our Department will host an Awards Ceremony for the employees who have done a good job for the past 6 months:) A way to recognize their excellent performance and reward them for a job well done.

Good news... or Bad News!

I don't know where to start but most of us wanted to hear the bad news first before hearing the good news. So here it goes... The BAD NEWS is that sooner or later, our Teacher Nhorie will leave us. For almost 3 weeks now, she's been taking care of one of my two daughters while waiting for the result of her Board Exam as a teacher. And the GOOD NEWS is..... SHE PASSED THE BOARD!

When we woke up this morning, she mentioned with a teary-eyed that her friend texted her informing her that her friend saw her name at the http://prcboardexamresultsph.blogspot.com/. We were very happy to hear that because she was the eldest in the family and of course the first to graduate, now board passer. But also, we felt sad because of all the family help that we had, she was the only one who is soooo patient in teaching and at the same time taking care of my little ones. As much as we wanted to keep her forever, we also wanted her to grow and be of help with her family. Congratulations Nhorie!
