Career path

I always remind my daughter to study hard so she can make it to one of the prestigious state universities in the country. (Thanks to Riz for the inspiration. You know what I’m talking about. And I’m looking forward to receiving more valuable tips from you. 🙂 ). Most parents dream big for their children in terms of course(s) to take in college and a stable career right after college. I’m one of those hopeful parents. However, I’m trying not to pressure my kids (but not to be too lenient)  to excel in everything they do in school because they have limitations too. The only thing that I can do for now is to give them the support that they need to do well.

My daughter plans to take up fine arts in college.  She enjoys drawing very much and she wants to make a career out of it someday. Sometimes I wish she’ll also consider other courses that will lead her to get IT Jobs in the future like her older cousin who is working in a multinational company in Taguig.

My daughter is only 13 and she still has two more years to spend in high school. Her interests could still change, but she is really set on pursuing college education whatever school it may be.

My handyman trying to fix our TV set

Oh, please not now! Our TV display is turning green. Hubby tried to fix it, but the green display doesn’t improve. He brought our television to the repair shop, but after a few days it turned green again. My ever resourceful husband will not take the minor appliance problem sitting down. He has to do something like reading tv reviews just to find solution to the green display and return its normal color. We have not included an lcd tv or at least a cheaper replacement to what we are using right now. Well, I hope my husband will stumble a good review of another brand of TV that doesn’t turn green even after more than five years of use.

If our TV is really broken beyond repair, we have no choice but to buy a replacement. Have you experienced the same with your TV set? What did you do to fix it? I’d be glad to hear from your suggestion. Thanks!

Missing Salt’s special screening

I feel bad for not heeding to my kids’ request to watch the special screening of “Salt” the other night. We had an invitation from Nuffnang to watch the Angelina Jolie starer, but decided not to go for a number of good reasons. One of them was that the place which is in Greenbelt, Makati is quite far from our place and the schedule of screening is late for the kids who still have classes the following day. Second, I still have cough and doesn’t feel good. I feel like having a cough attack anytime and that would be embarrassing. Other than missing the movie, I also lost the chance of meeting some of our blogger friends who were also invited to the event. Anyway, I was able to complete some assignments that night like looking for wii accessories that I might include in the list of possible things to buy in the near future. I can’t believe I missed Salt. Sigh.
