Reading While Walking

Have you seen anyone always so engrossed reading and even to the point of reading books while walking? Well, that's our daughter. She's so much into reading books these days that she wants to read while eating her breakfast, read before going to bed, read when she wakes up and I even saw her reading her books while walking up the stairs!? Oh, I didn't know that too much of a reader can become a hazard too. LoL!

Anyways, I'm glad that we didn't end up selling the Grolier Books we bought 2 years ago. We actually thought that because she has too many homeschool books, she won't have time to read the set of Grolier books. But we were proven wrong. I guess because the more she discovers things while reading her homeschool books, the more she wants to discover more. I just praise God for that!

Now, our mission is to let our li'l boy enjoy reading books too. He actually likes to listen to storybooks these days. But his interests are still more on playing with his robots and power rangers. Boy will be boys huh? But seriously, I'm starting to do a bit of informal homeschool with him just so he can take interest in learning. I'm even praying that we will be able to buy the P3/4 Sonlight homeschool set for him. I know Sonlight is a bit pricey especially for us but it's truly worth the investment.


Tricia reading Dr. Dolittle even at the 'shakey' train to Bangkok .

My New Domain from Domain Angel

The Domain Angel just blessed me with a new domain! I was just browsing through Pinay Mommy's forum last week when I saw that she was giving away domains to the first 5 people who wanted them. Of course, I immediately took the opportunity and gave her my desired domain name. My domain has something to do with homeschooling my kids. I can't reveal my new blog yet since there's still not much to read and see. :)

I've been planning to create this homeschool blog for a long time ( like months!) but I never gave time for it. Now that I got a domain for free, I guess this must be the best time to act on it. It will really be nice to document our homeschooling journey. I'm sure our kids will also enjoy reading it when they grow older.

Thank God for Ruby's generosity! Because of it, I'm also 'pushed' (in a good way) to work on this blog and have another blog added to my list. It's also good that I already availed of her web hosting services too. There's no need for me to search for reviews on web hosts. Though I've heard of some great sites where you can get reviews like for example a PacificHost Review . So, let me work on my new blog now. :)

The Blogger

Hubby and I were watching the news the other night. We are actually following the events of Tunisia. In that interview 3 women were interviewed all emphasizing the fact internet media and social networking like blogs, Facebook and Twitter has contributed so much in the people revolution.

One of the women interviewed has 'blogger' as her occupation. I then jokingly told my Hubby that maybe then I can make 'blogger' as my occupation instead of a 'housewife'. :) Maybe in the future, a blogger can become a legitimate occupation along with the writer, teachers or customer service jobs .

Anyways, as I look at the power of the internet I've realized that times have really changed. Thirty years ago, no one has ever thought that internet could bring such a change in the course of the lives of even ordinary people like us.
