OK, not second semester actually.. but just the continuation of our school year.. but hey, I had a week of waking up late and just doing nothing.. ayayay! Felt like a college student again today.. getting ready for another round of school days hahaha
So yesterday was a busy one for me.. preparing for my boys’ stuff.. school bags, uniform and my bento tools! Yes, I have been doing bento, but not that wow! kind of bento, more like, practical bento. Sa totoo lang, mahirap siya i maintain but seeing my kids happy and knowing that they enjoy their food better, it keeps me going. But I have a lot of bento tools, specially food picks (dami naman kase ng anak ko no haha) and rice molds.. best bento tool ever, specially if you’re in a hurry. And a few addition to my bento tools comes straight from the land of Bento, Japan! (thank you my dear marce for the pasalubong!)
Sneak peek on my bento tools:
I asked them to check on their bags and see for themselves what is missing on their school stuff. Start them young.. habang maaga pa eh turuan na maging responsable sa mga gamit nila 🙂
As for their uniforms, my mom was here last week.. and yes, inayos na nya lahat un before she went back to our province.. sarap ng may nanay no?
Another thing I prepared for is this:
A few weeks ago (one week before the exam) two of my boys got sick.. fever galore! ang daming kong pagod nun, not to mention I was super praning kase nga baka dengue. For my 3rd boy, we had to bring him to the hospital twice para lang maka siguro na hindi dengue iyong lagnat. Super praning talaga ako sa dengue since we lost a love one from dengue (more kwento on that)..
That’s why I am very thankful that I was chosen to be one of the mommy bloggers of Green Cross Insect Repellent Lotion. I was offered to try this new product, just in time when I am scouting for an insect repellent. I think this will lessen my paranoia to dengue. Now, as the school starts again, my kids are protected. Applying an insect repellent lotion is now included in our morning routine.

November 5, 2013 at 7:58 amPareho tayo mare. We were given the luxury to wake up late because of the long weekend and sembreak. Ngayon, balik na ulit sa routine. 🙂
Nate-tempt na ako to buy bento accessories kaso it takes a lot of creativity to prepare a bento meal, wag na lang.
Speaking of dengue, nakaka-praning talaga mare. Lahat na ata ng preventive measures maiisip mo just to protect the kids from getting it.

November 6, 2013 at 8:58 amInsect repellents are now mostly a must since there are many diseases and infections caused by insect bites. We don’t want to compromise on the cost of safety.

November 6, 2013 at 1:52 pmLove your bento tools! I’m still starting mine. Can you share where you got them? 🙂

November 6, 2013 at 2:04 pmI am also very praning about dengue! I’m constantly putting anti-mosquito lotion on my little boy coz he’s prone to mosquito bites. But I haven’t tried Green Cross yet though. Okay ba? 🙂

November 6, 2013 at 2:12 pmThere are lot of airborne diseases and carriers so green cross insect repelant will really be helpful.
Joy says
November 6, 2013 at 3:18 pmapplying insect repellent lotion or patching mosquito patches is now a part of my kids daily routine for dengue syndrome protection

November 6, 2013 at 9:19 pmI’m a paranoid mom, too. Aside from a mosquito-repellant bracelet that my son wears to school every day, we also have mosquito-repellant gel at home, one in our living room and another one in our bedroom. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

November 6, 2013 at 9:34 pmIt’s so difficult to start early again after late hours of waking…I feel you! the lotion seems good, hope may mahanap ako…

November 6, 2013 at 11:01 pmAll moms certainly had some needed rest during the sem break but its back to reality. Protection for kids however is continuous like your use of insect repellant.

November 7, 2013 at 9:20 amI think better na ang handa to battle airborne diseases, maraming sakit talaga now.

November 7, 2013 at 12:06 pmI am very cautious when it comes to Dengue, with the so many types of insect repellent lotions it’s so hard to choose the perfect one, hope you can share a full review of the product. 🙂

November 7, 2013 at 4:55 pmWe love Green Cross brand, alcohol and hand sanitizer. It’s good to know that they now have mosquito repellent. Can’t wait to try it.

November 7, 2013 at 9:10 pmI think lahat tayo nasiyahan sa sem break pero syempre when it comes to protecting our kids from dengue, walang break.
Jam Daquio says
November 7, 2013 at 11:51 pmYeah! having a fever today makes u feel like there could be more.. I mean, especially for kids. that’s why we also have mosquito repellant here in our house.
jared's mum says
November 8, 2013 at 5:07 pmi needed an insect repellent, too! i bought the all-natural variety from Tiny Buds but the little man simply won’t approve of having applied some on his bites 🙁 not to mention, hindi ko alam what it is about him that attracts insects the most. iwan mo lang sandali pagbalik mo meron ng kagat! 🙁
haist, sobrang inngit naman ako sa dialog na “ang sarap ng may nanay”

November 9, 2013 at 3:32 pmI think it’s nice that you are teaching your kids to be responsible at such an early age.

November 10, 2013 at 7:46 amI wish i can have the patience of doing those bento snacks. I think my kids will also enjoy eating them.
Maybe having them bring those in school would interest other kids.
Marie says
November 21, 2013 at 6:48 pmYes, it would be lovely to have mom around, lol. extra hands at home is surely appreciated!
