TOTAL Personality Development for Youngsters at La Vie: Table Manners and Etiquette

After skipping 2 Saturdays, McKenzie was able to attend another session of her TOTAL Personality Development for Youngsters at La Vie Institute yesterday.



We learned our lesson and we decided to leave at 1030am and ate lunch in Commercenter. We initially planned to eat at nearby McDonald's but it was raining so we had to stay in the building.

She ate first and I brought her to La Vie 5 minutes before 1pm.

However, in our haste to leave early, we left her binder at home. So, another item on our mental checklist for next week.

Kenny and I worked in one of the restaurants again.

I fetched her a few minutes after 3pm but she looked very happy.



We went to ATC after to buy stuff for today's dinner with our family to celebrate our birthdays and wedding anniversary.

We ate at the Food Court for dinner and McKenzie kept on telling us about what she learned about table manners and etiquette and was even asking us to apply them during our meal.

She is very happy about the new things that she learned. She seemed to remember a lot of good points!

I will try to squeeze more from her later, and update this post.

Fulltime WAHM since Nov 2009. My decision to become one gave birth to this blog. 😍 In 2015, my husband started KANSIS Made and I had to juggle my time between freelance work and being the business director of our micro-enterprise. In doing both plus being a hands-on mom, I've always met challenges with time management. But in every crossroad, I always remind myself of the reason why I decided to leave the corporate world and become a fulltime WAHM - to have more time with my family. I've always tried to advocate the benefits of being a fulltime WAHM to fellow moms and moms to be. I don't tire of talking about how I started as a fulltime WAHM and together with my husband, we managed to pay off the house, the car and send our daughter to school.

Unlocking the (sad) moments: Angelina

M is an only child. But not really... we have two more but both were too special, God took them back right away. Genesis is M's Kuya. I wrote about our first miscarriage in Jan 2009. In 2016, we gained another angel. But it was too painful, I managed to lock the memory in. I've spent years trying not to think about what happened.  I think I erased it from my mind. Today is Angelina's 6th year in heaven. As I recover and heal, the memory of losing her is slowly coming back. 2016 It was a really busy year. It was a busy year for Kenny and KANSIS Made. It was a busy year for McKenzie. It was a busy year for me as a WAHM. We were all too busy, we didn't know I was pregnant. In August, we went to Bacolod with Ken for his Dremel Brand Ambassador stint. I had spotting when we were inflight. But I didn't really mind it. I thought my period was coming. --- these parts are still missing, I will try to add when I remember. Sep 7 we rushed M to the hospital where she was admi...

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last
