The iPad effect

It's been more than a year since hubby bought an iPad. Our iPad is mostly used by Lyle and Lance for entertainment, reading/listening to books, and of course playing games =)

We are now seeing the iPad effect in our sons. Last Saturday we went to Bottle Tree park and we saw  a greenhouse and there are different plants grown inside. Then Lyle said "Mommy, look so many plants just like Plants vs Zombies". The other day while waiting for a taxi and we had been waiting for quite a long time. I said "ang tagal naman ng taxi" then Lyle commented "Mommy, still loading. We just wait". Hubby and I can't help but laugh because of those funny comments by Lyle. But we both realized that we need to take the kids out more often and limit their iPad time. We wouldn't want the time to come that they become so engrossed with it that they think it's their reality. Balance is the keyword =) We still allow them to use the iPad for 30mins to 1hour and make sure that either hubby or me is there guiding and playing with them.

Happy 4th Birthday Lyle!

Today is Lyle's birthday! He's been waiting for this day and really excited for his birthday. The gifts he requested are Tow Mater, Finn and Holley from Cars 2 movie. It feels different this year because he knows and understands that it's his birthday that he turns 4 years old today =)

I am very happy and so proud of you Kuya Lyle =) I love you and you will always be mommy's baby!

The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn

Here is something I found in Youtube and got hooked when I played and listened to it. A very kind person have uploaded the whole audio seminar of Jim Rohn about The Power of Ambition. I heard about Jim Rohn in one of Bo Sanchez's books. He became one of my favorite sources of quotes =)


"Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present."

"Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention."

While listening to Jomar Hilario's VA seminar, he mentioned Jim Rohn and some of his motivational quotes. He gave a very helpful tip to search for podcasts or videos in Youtube of our favorite speakers or authors. I was very lucky to found these audio seminar series of Jim Rohn. I would like to share these videos and hope that it would also be of great help to your personal development. As of this writing, I just finished the whole series and can't helped but be awed and amazed from the wisdom that Mr. Rohn had shared. This is very empowering and motivating. To keep on working on myself, to do good and be better each and everyday.

Puzzled

I loved it when my kids are playing together and they are both happy with what their doing (and it last for more than 30mins.. hehe). Lance was solving the jigsaw puzzles and Lyle decided to join him. I had some of my peace and quiet time while their busy solving these puzzles. This has given me an idea, next time I'll buy them the 10 - 20 pieces puzzles ;-)
