Matthew Andrei's Recognition Day 2017

Yesterday was a very tiring day but fulfilling day for me and Daddy. It's because it's Matthew Andrei's recognition.

Last Thursday, straight from our work duties, we went to fetch him at Nueva Ecija. We arrived very late na but since yesterday was his recognition, we needed to travel at 3 in the morning to be on time for that important event.

Together again. My #matthewgwapito. #schoolboy #recognitionday #marymountacademy @chemist_dad

I missed this boy terribly. He kept on hugging and kissing me. He must missed  me so much too. But for now, we needed to send him back to his lola's because we have no house helper yet. Tiis muna but I know God will make a way.

Going back to his recognition day. We arrived at the venue 2 hours earlier than the scheduled time. We opted not to go home because of the traffic. So we waited until it's time. He was happy and excited.

We took advantage of the waiting time and took more photos.

After hours of waiting, the program finally started. The guest speaker is Honorable Jun "Bob" Dela Cruz, Marilao City's Councilor and an ex-PBB housemate.

The program lasted for almost 3 hours and finally, he received his awards!

He received this with honors medal for having a general average of above 90%.

He also received this certificate for being the top 4 student in the Grade 1 class.

Before that he got these two special awards.

I can't be any prouder. He's such our biggest blessing, our pride and true wealth.

With that here are his rewards.

Though I'm still looking for his bigger reward and hopefully I can buy him that before his birthday. While searching I saw this alesis dm10x mesh and I fell in love with it.

It's a premium 6-piece electronic drum set with mesh drum heads that delivers unprecedented feel and expression to modern drummers. It's a great gift sana but I need to save for it. Anyway, Matthew is just 6 and I still have 10 years to save, haha.

Anyway, we had lunch at Mang Inasal after and a simple dinner at home with all his favorites.

Celebrating at home with all his favorites. #recognitionday #schoolboy #foodporn #blessed @chemist_dad

It was a very tiring day but my heart is full with love because I am more than blessed than what I know.

I just realized that I am more than #blessed that what I know. Having these two is such a wonderful blessing. Sulutin na kasi magbabaksyon na ulit si #matthewgwapito #family #love @chemist_dad

Recognition day is not just for outstanding students but also for the hardworking and patient teachers and parents. For their endless love, support, understanding and passion in what they are doing.

Congratulations to Batch 2017 and to all the hardworking students! May you continue to make your teachers and parents proud.

Matthew Andrei's Moving Up

April 2 is the day our son had been waiting for, for two reasons. One because it's their moving up day, and two, for the gift he's expecting to receive from us. Haha!

The Moving Up was held at The Event Center SM Marilao. We left our home early because the ceremony will start as stated in the program. My event pa kasing kasunod. We arrived one hour earlier so we looked for a place to wait. Jollibee lang bukas that time so we decided to have an early merienda.

The little boy was so happy as usual.

When the mall opened, we immediately went in to take some photos.

Here's our proud boy!

Then the ceremony started with the entrance march.

He went to his seat along with his classmates.

I accompanied him on the stage to receive his diploma.

But that's a bond paper lang and they will have their diploma in a frame. They chose not to distribute that on the same day to avoid accident breakage. Sayang nga naman.

As I have mentioned here, Matthew got the 1st honorable mention.

He was so happy to receive his first medal.

Intermission muna by selected Grade 6 graduating students.

Like any other graduation ceremony, they also had they speaker.

After which was the Pre-Elementary students' intermission number. They dance to the tune of Better When I'm Dancing. 

They were so cute kahit hindi sabay-sabay. And our little boy was so adorable and energetic!

Before the ceremony ended, they gave the Achiever's Awards, which we didn't know.

Matthew joined the spelling bee contest last year in which he ranked 9 among the 18 participants from the private schools in Marilao.

The school commended that effort of their students by giving the Achiever's Award.

Oh by the way, I went up the stage 3 times. Daddy should have went for the second award but both of us were at awe and surprised. That's why I just stand up and went with Matthew, hehe.

Anyway, the ceremony ended with the Graduation/Moving Up song, Strong.

Presenting the Graduates!

When the program closed, we went on the stage to take photos.

And here's a photo with Matthew's teacher, Ms. Tess. I want to thank her for the patience and knowledge she gave Matthew and his classmates. You did a great job Teacher Tess!

Again, I would like to congratulate Matthew Andrei for this great achievement. This is actually too much of what I have expected. This is only the start of your journey to your dreams. No matter how and what it will take, Daddy and I will always be here to love and support you. We love you so much anak!

Have Blessed week everyone!
