Signs that your Hard Drive is failing, like mine...

13 January 2018

Most everyone has a PC desktop nowadays.  We all rely on it for our day to day routine, our kids' homework, for some their work if they're lucky enough to work-from-home.  It's an indispensable tool.

But what if this dependable tool suddenly shows signs of nearing its lifespan?  Would you even recognize these?  Would you know how to prepare for it?

From my recent painful experience, I will tell you what happened and hope that you learn from it and be able to rescue your data too :)

The Joys of Christmas 2017

Christmas 2017

Christmas time is such a festive holiday that most of December ends up fully-booked with parties, reunions and celebrations with friends and family.  This year, it's especially full with Dylan's first Christmas party at his new school and a jam-packed family celebration too :)

Hope your Christmas celebration is a full and happy as ours! :)  Merry Christmas!!

Newly-painted chairs and tables for Dylan's classroom

01 December 2017

What a way to greet the first of December (the official start of the Christmas season) by donating our time to Dylan's classrooms continuing renovations.  Today, we focused on fixing the tables and chairs and then painting them.  We also installed a "gate/fence" at the door so that the door can be left open but the kids can't easily run outside.  It was tiring but very fulfilling!  Thanks to everyone who helped!

Our Sunday Habit: Biking at the NBO Biking Lessons ground in BGC

19 November 2017

We feel fortunate that every Sunday, the kids get a chance to learn how to bike at the NBO Bike Lessons ground in BGC.  Well, actually Dana's getting better but Dylan still has a long way to go. 

We savor these moments because kids grow up so fast.  At least we're all having fun as a family. :)

Attending Gandhi's Baptism

05 November 2017

Today marked the Christening of Baby Gandhi, the son of friends, Orvin and Josie :)  We're glad to be part of your celebration! :)

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 :)

Dylan's Foundation Day participation in school

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.
