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.

#rewardtime #spingo #toykingdom @chemist_dad

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.

Rewards Time

Our son proved once again that despite being playful, he's a hard working student. A week ago, he had their final examinations. Weekend prior to that, we already started reviewing. I let him read on his own para masanay na sya.

Pagkagising aral na naman 🖒#schoolboy #examweek #finalsweek @chemist_dad

Good thing, he can read well both in English and Filipino. We continue reviewing until I was the one who surrendered, haha.

Tama na anak... Pagod na ako. Maghapon na tayong nagrereview. #schoolboy #examweek #finalsweek #mommyduties @chemist_dad

From that day, we were reviewing every night na. We will finished 10 or 11 in the evening but I never hear him complaining. Except that he's so sleepy the next day.

I may not be the perfect mother. I may not be always on your side. I may not be at home when you get back from school. But I will do anything just to be with you when you need me the most. I can do everything for you anak. Sleep ka pa I know pagod ka. #mommyguilt #workingmom

We kept on reviewing until the night of before the last day of examination.

I think someone deserves a reward for studying hard. And yes last day of exam na tomorrow. #schoolboy #examweek #finalsweek @chemist_dad

It was such a relief when the final examination was over and he took home two awards - Most Smart and Most Adorable! And he's indeed very smart and adorable #proudmom

Last day of exam, last day of school. Yey, congratulations anak. You deserve a reward for a job well done. Let's celebrate @chemist_dad #schoolboy #mommysboy

And for all his hardship, he deserves a reward.

After a year of hard work (and play), #rewardtime naman. Even if you are still playful, I know you have learned a lot. Thanks to your patient and loving teachers. Pasensya na po sa kakulitan ng batang ito, hehe. You did a great job. See you next #schoolyear #schoolboy #marymountacademy #bestteachers #toys #minisoph @miniso_ph @chemist_dad

This toy we got from Miniso may be inexpensive but it already make him happy. But wait, we just learned last night that he's also in the Honor list!

With that he deserves a much bigger reward. So I think I will buy him a guitar sooner than expected. It would have been a birthday gift sana but he deserves this the soonest.

Hello dearies! Please help me decide what color of guitar to choose. My son's birthday is coming and I'm still undecided. By the way, if you are planning to buy #guitars too. Check the different designs at #GuitarCenter. Link here: https://www.guitarcenter.com/ #musicalinstruments #music #birthdaygiftidea

I found this Guitar Center has, mxr at a great price! Just in time. This is called luck, hehe. Anyway, with or without honor, my son deserves a reward. He maybe very playful now but what more pa if he becomes more serious at school.

Again, congratulations anak. Just like last year, you made us so proud. We love you!
