2012

"a series of unfortunate events" the best line to describe this year for us.

the worst is when papa died unexpectedly after his first heart attack. we we're so shocked since my father was so strong and full of life during that day. everything's changed after. even with wonderful gifts, christmas doesn't look christmas at all. despite of its colorful fireworks, new year's eve seems to be a regular day for us. no matter how much food we put on the table during noche buena and media noche it doesn't make any sense.

kala ko dati ang lakas lakas ko na. kala ko ang astig astig ko na. kala ko mas magaling na ako sa papa ko kasi naka pag-aral ako. hindi pala. kaya pala ako magaling kasi andiyan siya. hindi ko pala kaya yung mga bagay na nagawa niya. 

nawalan na ko ng gana sa buhay ko. ayoko na mag plano para sa bukas. wala na ako paki-alam. lahat siguro ng bullshit na nangyayari sakin ngaun is life's way of saying "wala ka kasing kwentang anak"

an article from yahoo

just want to share an article from yahoo...10 signs your child maybe gifted

  1. Retains Information: The term "in one ear and out the other" seems to apply to most children. Those who are a cut above when it comes to intelligence actually retain a wide variety of information and are able to recall it at a later time. An example from the National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC) is: "One six-year-old returned from a trip to the space museum and reproduced an accurate drawing of a space rocket he had seen."
  2. Wide Spectrum of Interests: Gifted kiddos display an interest in a wide variety of topics. They may like dinosaurs one month, space the next month, and so fourth.
  3. Writes and Reads Early: If your tot is a smarty pants, she may be able to read and write very early on and without having had any real formal teaching.
  4. Is Musically or Artistically Talented: Children who display an unusual talent for music and/or art are often considered gifted. Tots who can draw things to perspective, have perfect pitch, or display any other higher perception of forms of art usually fall into the gifted category.
  5. Shows Periods of Intense Concentration: Children are not known for their long attention span, but gifted wee ones are able to have longer periods of intense concentration.
  6. Has a Good Memory: Some gifted tots are able to remember things from when they were smaller. For example, a two-year-old may remember and bring up (unprovoked) an occurrence from when he was 18-months. 
  7. Has an Advanced Vocabulary: A tot who's early to speak is not a sign of giftedness alone, but if your lil talker is using advanced vocabulary and sentences, then he or she may be as bright as you think. According to the NAGC, "Children at age two make sentences like: 'There's a doggie.' A two-year-old who is gifted might say, 'There's a brown doggie in the backyard and he's sniffing our flower.' "
  1. Pays Attention to Details: A gifted child has a keen eye for details. An older child may want to know specific details about how things work, while a younger child will be able to put away toys exactly where he got them from or notice if something has been moved from its usual spot.
  2. Acts as His Own Critic: In general kids are not too worried about themselves or others, unless their friend has something they want. Gifted kids are the opposite and are concerned with others, but are most critical of themselves.
  3. Understands Complex Concepts: Tots who are highly intelligent have the ability to understand complex concepts, perceive relationships, and think abstractly. They are able to understand problems in depth and think about solutions
...really? then all in can say is WOW. you know what i mean.
