Dylan's UN Day : Tasting dishes from different countries
19 October 2017
It's that time again for United Nations' Day! This time, I'm glad this it's not about the costume but the culture of the nation that's being taught so Thanks Teacher Ressie!
The kids were asked to select a country and bring to school a sample of the dishes that represent it. Dylan naturally gravitated to Japan and we brought several helpings of Tamago Onigiri :)

Another round of Free Bike Lessons at the BGC courtesy of the National Bicycle Organization
01 October 2017
It's another Sunday and we all went back to BGC in Taguig for another round of Free Bike Lessons courtesy of the National Bicycle Organization. This time, we arrived earlier than our first trip and we found that more people have become aware of the Free Bike Rides and Lessons since there were now more people riding their bikes. Let's see how the kids did this time :)

28 September 2017
This is another first for Dylan education-wise. Today, he celebrated the school's 95th Year Anniversary together with his classmates, schoolmates, teachers and staff. They prepared a dance routine and performed it as part of the school's Foundation Day Celebration.
As any parent with a child on the autism spectrum, events like these mark milestones to be remembered. It's special because it shows your child's progress in dealing with crowds. It shows how your child copes with a specific routine (like dancing) and ability to follow directions. It tests your child's patience while waiting for his turn. Dylan exceeded all of these today and I'm so proud of him!

An afternoon at the BMW Xpo 2017
17 September 2017
After our biking adventure earlier in the day, we headed to the BMW Xpo 2017 which was just across the street. Models on display include vehicles from the BMW 5 and 7 Series, including motorcycles from BMW Motorrad. There was also a test drive area for customers. Kids also had a special section.

Free Bike Lessons and Bike Riding at the BGC courtesy of the National Bicycle Organization
17 September 2017
After a tiring day at the 2017 Manila International Book Fair yesterday, I didn't think we would have the energy to go bike riding today. But the kids were driven to learn and wanted to go biking and so we found ourselves at the BGC-PruLife UK Family Zone.
The Bikes are Free. Lessons are Free. Just Enjoy!

Wow! 2 floors at the 2017 Manila International Book Fair #2017MIBF
16 September 2017
It's that time of the year again when everyone is on their toes and itching to get into the 2017 Manila International Book Fair. Since we were here last year, we kind of knew what to expect. But this year, there's more in store because there was an additional exhibition space on the 2nd Floor which meant more books and stuff to browse and buy from.
Still, it was surprising to see long lines outside of the SMX which made us feel uncertain at first because we thought that was the line to get in. But, as we neared the entrance gates, it seemed that it was the line to buy tickets from. We were fortunate that I had printed out tickets from the UST Facebook page and we were able to get in without any fuss.
Honestly, this time, we were really aiming for specific books and other school supplies but we still took our time visiting the other exhibition booths :)

27 August 2017
What I've learned now that Dylan is in public school is that if you want something done for the class, you have to do it yourself. Today, my co-parents and I banded together to put up bulletin boards and Teacher's whiteboard and constructed stacking shelves for Dylan's class. Dylan was very excited to be part of a project like this and it taught him the value of working hard and appreciating the end result.
On Board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, Buque Escuela Cuauhtemoc
06 August 2017
Today, we went on board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, BE Cuauhtemoc, while it was docked at the South Harbor. The ship was at our port as part of its 2017 Instruction Cruise where 4th Year cadets of the Heroic Naval Military school will circumnavigate the BE Cuauhtemoc across 15 ports and 12 countries. They are also celebrating their Centenary of the Constitution and the 35th Anniversary of the Ship.
