Last Sunday, me and my family went to manila to visit the much-talked about new attraction in Star City, the Snow World.  We saw it on TV and so we set out to witness it ourselves.  Since we are based in Angeles, we left really early, like 7am, because we wanted to avoid the long lines.  We’ve been to Star City before and we knew how long the queues can be.  We arrived by 11 am, only to find out that the place was still closed and opening time was 2pm. We decided to kill time in MOA and have our lunch there (which is a practical idea considering how expensive the food is inside Star City).  We would have wanted to leave after lunch but there was a sudden downpour which prompted us to stay in the mall some more… then finally, we headed right back to Star City.

I decided to put Scribbles and Doodles for the title of my blog site… Scribbles and Doodles is the title of my column in our school paper- Happy Faces.  I hope they don’t mind me using it… In my column, I usually write about all sorts of preschool things. For my blog, I want to have a wider coverage and go beyond my teaching profession.

What is the origin of scribbles and doodles? As we know, Language Development has four strands: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.  In contrast to what other people may think, writing skills develop even before children learn to write letters and words.  In fact, early writing skills become evident by the time your child holds a pencil or a crayon and pretends to write.  When babies start to scribble and doodle on our newly-painted walls, important work documents, newspapers, floors, etc., that is already a sign of emerging writing skills.  I know that as parents, our first reaction, if such incident would happen, is to scold our child for being naughty and for messing up our house.  But you know what, beyond that, we should realize that our child is on the onset of a discovery… he or she is learning to write! So before we scream our lungs out, let us think out of the box and consider that it is all a process of learning.  Maybe then, we’d be less angry… 

Changes have now become almost routinary for me… And now, I have decided that it’s time to let go and welcome more alterations in my life, including, of course, my beloved website…
As some might know, my original theme was designed by my ultra creative husband, Paulo… with BWS and my kids as my inspiration. Since I’m out of BWS, it feels wrong to use the same theme. I kept nagging him to design a new one for me but he says I gotta shell out some ideas, too. Well, just for now, I browsed through the available themes in wordpress and found one that fancies me… Hope you like it… I am also hoping that my eternally loving husband would find the time to help me out, too…
