10:33 a.m. New Zealand time. This is my first attempt to write a blog about anything. And I just don't know what to write and how to start it. I've been thinking about the idea 2 weeks ago after I read some of my sister's blog. She is a good writer and expressed herself freely on her blogs.
Last night, my eldest son Gian was telling me something and when he noticed that I'm not responding, he said, oh nagprapray ka mum? And I replied, "I'm just thinking of a good name for my blog." Gian started to laugh and gave me some words like trippin, mum on the go, Its All About me, and some words which I already forgot, all pertaining about being a mum. I told Gian I like Aphrodite's name to appear on my blog but he reasoned out that not all people know her and that I need something interesting because this is gonna be a www. site.. Whew! Just by hearing that from my son makes me nod and think, where did Gian's intelligence come from? I'm not that techy person so to speak. I don't know much of computer stuff. I only know how to open my FB account, write email, chat with friends and family and that's it! Don't ask me of the trouble shooting stuff because you will just find me useless on that part.
My sons Gian and Nyle are the expert on these things. Though Nyle is learning slowly with his Kuya's help, he too, can navigate the worlwideweb freely. And they seem to agree and enjoy same things, online gaming!
Though Nyle, 9 y.o., is more musically inclined, Gian whose now 11 years old is more of sporty person. As my sons grow up, I felt the need to learn myself. While Nyle is attending violin lesson, I would keenly observe and remember the notes for I know I need to pratice Nyle back home. And how can I know if he's doing right if I don't even know how to read c,f,d notes? And when Gian wants to play soccer in preparation for a tryout while dad's busy at work, I need to step up myself! As a mom, I am now obliging myself to learn these things. I thought that when your kids grow up, they're gonna learn by themselves and you'll be back to your single days again. But that's a NO NO. If youre not into your kids world, its a subtle way of pushing them away to find friends whom they can share their interest.
As for me, I wanna grow with the kids. I wanna learn what interests them. I wanna be on their world that I've been once in my life. (And who didnt even has a thought that childhood days were the best days of our lives)I wanna support Gian and Nyle to whatever they wanna be. And I will just be by their sides, no matter what and no matter where their destiny take them.
