Then and Now: TM Batchmates through the years..

-

We were dubbed as Batch 2001-A.  We've known each other since 2001.  It's been more than 10 years and yet, when we're together, it feels like we're 1st year law students once again (remember how rowdy we were last night?!).  It's good to reminisce.  It's good to remember how much fun we had, where we have started and where we are right now.  Time indeed flies, we may have gone our separate ways, some of us now have our own families and responsibilities, but the friendship remains.  Here's a look at our then and now (we're indeed getting old!)..........


THEN.....
I believe this was in 2007 at Trinoma.

Mel and Mayett's wedding.

I don't know where this pic was taken.  I was absent! 

Also in 2007.  Bar Exams.

Taken at People's Park, one of Davao's top destinations.

I don't when and where this was taken.  Also absent.  My sisters always look hot!

Lunch somewhere near UIC.  I think Don Beppe.  Not sure though.

Also at Mayett's wedding.  Gorgeous girls (except for Pare of course!)

This was taken in a TM sponsored activity at Grand Regal.  I think Acceptance Rites.

AV's birthday. Look at my tummy!


AND FOR THE NOW...



 
Cheers ladies!!!

How do you discipline your children?

-
When I was younger, I vowed never to spank my kids nor to subject them to any physical punishment.  I just didn't think it would work.  I would see my friends being physically subjected to violence and I saw how they eventually rebelled against their parents. I knew this would only work if my husband-to-be would also agree on me on this point.  So I was very thankful when my husband  +Dante Valenzuela Jr.   also had the same view point as mine.  No spanking, no physical violence, no shouting (although this happens sometimes). Of course, when they were still young it was difficult to discipline them.  You cannot expect a 1 or 2 year old child to understand.  However, when they turned 3, it's easier for them to understand their mistakes and it's easier to make them understand. So how do we discipline them right now?  Whenever my kids do something wrong, I talk to them and point out what they did wrong.  I tell them calmly. Shouting d...

We're Almost 4!

Wow! I can't believe I last wrote on my blog on January 14.  It's been like more than 15 days since I last wrote.  So much for a blog a day, right? But I have been too busy lately with work (sigh) and this makes me terribly guilty of sometimes neglecting the twins. The twins' birthday are coming up.  We decided last year that we would just have a mini-party at home, a quiet family affair.  However, at the early part of this year, I had a change of heart.  Kids only celebrate their parties while they're young right? So this year, we're planning a  mini-party either at McDonalds ( At another branch, not the one at Abreeza.  If you've been following me, you'll know why .) or Jollibee with their friends and playmates.  Less adults, more kids.  That's what we're planning to do this year, invite kids (and of course, the adults that will accompany the kids.) Time indeed really flew so fast.  I can't even believe that they're both soon turni...

Little Kitchen Helper

I would like my kids to love cooking in the same way that they love eating.  I guess I want to instill in them the value of appreciating food- from the preparation stage down to when the food is about to be eaten.  So from time to time, I allow my kids to help me out in the kitchen.  Sometimes they whisk the eggs when we make pancakes, other times they help me mix my cup cake mix (they like this because they love tasting the uncooked mixture!), sometimes they add the salt, just about anything that they can do at their age. Just recently I came across an article which tells us the importance of letting kids help in the kitchen.  Here are the list of advantages:      1.  Understanding- allowing them to help in the kitchen gives kids an understanding of food.      2.  Connection- it also establishes and helps maintain family connection as you're helping out each other.      3.  Skills and Confidence- ...
