The school will be having a camp night tomorrow. I was orienting my kids this morning on what they will expect for tomorrow.

Teacher: We will have a bonfire tomorrow.
Xyck: What is bonfire Teacher? Are we going to burn bones?

a family work

Rode on a jeepney this afternoon on my way to my tutee's house. I was amazed to learn that the teenage barker is the driver's son. And if the woman opposite me didn't talked to the boy, I wouldn't have known that she was his mother. Wow!! They all looked after each other as the guy was telling his father to look after traffic enforcers ahead of them. His mother was also thoughful as to not allow teenagers to just cling on the rail at the back. The guy as his mother was honest enough to give discount to a non-uniformed student even if the student hadn't advised her so. Great to see scenes like these once in a while.

saved by the bell stars

Peeping through pictures of Hollywood bestfriends, I happened to see a familiar face from a television show way back on my elementary years. It was the face of Mario Lopez, A. C. Slater of Save by the Bell. Was an avid viewer of this popular television sitcom. It was this show that ignited my television viewing. Though the show was for teenagers yet I enjoyed watching it. I forgot why. they were fun as well. With Screech, Lisa turtle, Jessie, Zack and Kelly. I wouldn't want to miss a single day without watching that show.

Those were the days.
