A Love Note to Mum

mrsmarikit — Sat, 12 May 2012 15:11:48 +0000

Photo taken in Singapore, 2006. I just finished reading an article about attachment parenting, when I thought of you, Nanay. Just like the mum in the article, you are unselfish and dedicated, too. You have always put your children’s needs ahead of your own. I will never forget the time when I was still young [...]

Busy with School

Just like that, the first term of school is almost over. I’ve got two weeks left and a final paper to submit. I am enrolled for next term and have signed-up for the workshop in September. Yes, it will be full steam ahead when second term starts! But for now, I’m savouring this second and [...]

The Little Girl’s Project

In order for Amelie to practice composing letters, making cut-outs and drawing, I thought of a mini-project. She will make and post cards for the members of our family and in return, she gets a card back. Cute, isn’t it? She started making cards for her friends at school and is very excited doing it [...]

What is your Life-Verse?

I have been a Christian for two decades now but I never had a life-verse. There are a lot of beautiful teachings in the Bible and all of them were equally my “favorites”. Until last Sunday, when once more, the church message really touched my heart and challenged my soul. It was during that service [...]

Five Minutes to Post

mrsmarikit — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 03:23:35 +0000

Last Saturday, I had the chance to visit my school for the second time. There was a scheduled Academic Workshop for all the first time attendees and flexible delivery students of the school. I almost didn’t go because Friday night I was swamped with a lot of things to do and wanted to rest that [...]

First News Day

mrsmarikit — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:24:54 +0000

I got so excited yesterday about my dear A’s first news day in Kindergarten happening today. I thought of many topics but Amelie said ‘yes’ to only two, either her favorite Barbie movie or our day-out at the beach. Since Barbie was her topic during her last storytelling time at preschool last year, I thought [...]

A New Chapter

mrsmarikit — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 13:24:57 +0000

This marks my first week as a student. I started school (on flexibly delivery) last week and so far, I am enjoying it. This course, which I hope to finish within a maximum of 3 years will help me land a career in the helping profession. A lifelong dream that I claim by God’s grace [...]

Instagr.am Love – Week 6

mrsmarikit — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:48:42 +0000

This blog category is moving in snail’s pace. I found it so troublesome to sort photos on the iPhone because you can’t tell right away which ones were taken using Instagr.am (IG). Gah! So after downloading on my Mac, I painstakingly went through each one and picked out the IG photos I haven’t uploaded yet. [...]

Heart’s Day 2012

mrsmarikit — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:22:41 +0000

We had our family dinner out at Phoenix (again) last Sunday. The major reasons why we dined out was 1) I was unwell that weekend and didn’t want to cook and 2) We celebrated a big milestone in our little family’s life (blog entry to follow ). So we thought that it’s fitting to make [...]
