This morning I enrolled Hermione to the Multiple Intelligence which is a summer program being offered by her school - Kids International Learning Academy.
Beginning April Hermione will be busy with Multiple Intelligence class from 8-10am then Ballet Class by 10-11:30am. I had to have her ride the School Bus since the two classes will be held in different Building, around 6 blocks away from each other. And since I'm still stuck with my current work, I cannot drive her to school. Good thing their school have their own school bus, but its not free though, I had to pay extra moolah for it. But I don't fret for as long as my little darling baby will be home safe and sound.
We will also be enrolling her as a regular pre-schooler come June, and boy, tuition fee is Php45K. My parents never spent that much for my schooling, even if they had to sum up from my pre-school to college. I'm just imagining how much we will be paying when we enrolled her to College, like Php300K per sem? hehe.
I told the Hubby that we really need to seriously save for Hermione and Harry's college fund. Since I don't like Educational Plans, I would rather save the money in the bank on a trust fund rather than get EduPlans which may have filed bankruptcy by the time the kids will be in college.
I'm so glad that I have work, even if sometimes I'm on a brink of struggling some people hahaha...but I really wanna spend more time with the little girl. And more time for myself - I like to catch up on my reading, tv series and go to the gym. Hays.
Last Saturday, Hermione is having a bad time and throwing tantrums at us. I made her stand for 15 minutes in the corner and spank her.
The little girl is in her bratty mood and I want to teach her a lesson - that she cannot have everything that she wants. Yes, I love my daughter very dearly but I won't let her grow up like a brat.
It all started when she got frustrated with the elevator, she likes pressing the floor number in the elevator - and if it doesn't light up (to signal that its been pressed), she'll easily get mad. Because of that, she doesn't want to go ride in with us in the car. She just wailed and yelled - her yaya was finally able to bring her to the car. After that, she went crazy over the chocolate, I don't want to let her have it since she's undergoing medication for colds and cough and that could worsen her cough. That made her more furious. And it made me really mad!
After 15 minutes of standing in the corner while she incessantly requested for: milk, to pooh, to weewee, called her Daddy, her Yaya and our Maid, plus her Tito, anybody that could save her from her Monster Mommy hehe...she asked me if she could watch Winnie the Pooh, Angelina Ballerina, and her iPad, the last thing that she was asking me is to give her a MASSAGE, this made me laugh, the little girl has no idea that this is supposed to be "PARUSA" and giving her a massage is totally out of the picture! Silly girl hehe.
Then I asked her: What would you tell Mommy?, she replied: Sorry Mommy and gave me a hug and a kiss.
My anger instantly melt and we did kiss and make-up.
This morning we went to the progressive school I have been eyeing for Hermione. They are offering ballet class this Summer and we enrolled the little girl since the school is just a few blocks from our place. Unlike her current ballet class wherein we have to drive all the way to Katipunan during weekends. I'm not complaining though, but, there are times that I just want to stay home during weekends so I can rest and do mommy stuff - instead we would go to the ballet class and end up in the mall hehe.
We are also thinking of getting her in another program called Multiple Intelligence, its a summer class which would prepare her for the upcoming school year in June. However, we are having second thoughts as we are also planning to have her joined the swimming class in our clubhouse.
We have all these lined up for her for the summer since we can see that she is really getting bored all alone with her yaya the whole day. With no other kids to play with. Perhaps Hermione wouldn't mind having these activities while Mom and Dad are in the office :)
So we went to Cebu for a 3-day vacay. We spent it at Plantation Bay. I enjoyed the place very much and so as the little girl. I would definitely go back to Plantation Bay perhaps with my in-laws, in 2014 hehe.
The short vacay is truly a refresher. Now, maybe I can still take it 'til May hehe, however, the client might insist that I stay to finish my 2 projects...well, I'm in "it depends" type of mood.
And in between that I will need a new bag. I'm contemplating on getting the Chanel GST in silver hardware or a red/yellow Goyard St. Louis. Or maybe an LV wallet. Hmnnnnn so many options, so little moolah.
I'm so happy with Hermione's progress in her ballet class. We enrolled her beginning Feb of this year, on her trial class, she was able to instantly learn the moves without a sweat. I'm a proud Mommy!
However, we did not let her participate in this year's recital since she's a little annoyed when it comes to dealing with a crowd and a month of ballet class will not change this.
We will be enrolling her to swimming class as well and to regular schooling this coming June. Now, my problem is where to buy a golf cart that her Papa Ed could use in bringing her to school. The school is just a block away from our house. I can't take her everyday as I may still be working by June so we need a golf cart. Hope I can find one soon enough or the poor baby and her yaya with Papa Ed or Mama Luds will be walking from-and-to school.
I grabbed a cab and went to the nearby mall and visited Power Books. I got myself and friend M with Mommy Pads, the pads that I got is for weekly meal planner, travel checklist and grocery checklist, I sooooo love them. I'm so OC hehe. Then went to Posh Nails to have foot spa and have my nails done, instant happiness.
**wink**wink**
I also got 2 of the Hunger Games books in hardbound, just can't find the time to read them. Its been sitting in my desk for days now. Hermione's ballet school is near a series of establishments including Fully Booked - since I discovered it - I have more reason to finally get the titles I have been eyeing for a long time.

There are also nights I go online shopping. My purchases? From Rayban sunglasses, to Ann Klein watches (I think I already have 6 new watches from this line hehe), to Kikay stuff from Philosophy, Aveeno and others to cupcake holder. Hays, I need to stop! I know...
----
On another note, we will be spending the weekend in Cebu, I need to take a short vacay and I can't wait til May for our HK trip. I'm running out of patience with all the ooppppps and surprises they're giving me at work, so I need a breather. Or else, I'll be calling it quits sooner. I really need a new bag, this might convince me to stay longer hehe.

Last night hubby told me that the New iPAD is already out in SG, and I'm soooo excited, a friend of mine can get it for me for 10-15% off its online price and a friend of hubby can carry it for me from SG. Hope the little girl will not try to persuade me into swapping her old iPAD with the new one...she's a really technie little girl...
