Starting the School Year Right...

I have been raving for weeks now on how Z was getting adjusted at school and loving it by far. Yesterday, he came out of his classroom with a smile announcing that he has found a new friend.  Thank goodness for his Summer tutoring he was able to adjust rather quickly. Less than five minutes in class and I was able to leave him. He made no further fuss after that. I believe the lessons he took during the summer were invaluable in how he was able to adjust so quickly. I didn’t have to deal with any crying or tantrum scene. He just sits obediently in his chair and listens attentively. He often mentions that his three hour class passes by like a breeze which proves he is not bored at all. Sometimes I worry that he won’t be able to answer his workbooks on his own but when he goes home and I check his books I’m relieved that he was able to follow his teacher’s instructions. He is getting better and better everyday in his writing and reading. I know he still have years of schooling ahead of him but I’m happy we started it right.

Mommy Scenes at School...

So for two weeks now I have been fetching Z to school and staying there for an unbelievable 3 hours. Actually, sometimes I’m thinking if this is really necessary as Z proved to be capable of staying at school on his own. But believe it or not, I love being able to wait for him at school. (more…)

Woman Fined for Sharing Copyrighted Songs...

Have you heard about the woman who is being fined for sharing copyrighted music online? In a landmark decision, a minnesota jury found the defendant Jamie Thomas-Rassett for willful infringement of the music industry’s copyrights. She was asked to pay a hefty fine of $1.92 million for sharing 24 songs in Kazaa. She is the first person to date to ever go on trial for illegal music sharing. If only she chose to share royalty free music instead of copyrighted songs then she won’t be in the front page today.

I know this is going to scare people as it is a known fact that music sharing is rampant and now you don’t have to buy an album to listen to a music you like. My husband is a musician and I always advice him to download royalty free music.   Better yet, he can make his own songs.  He has the equipment he needs – his guitar and his voice! LOL! If only he also have Reason drum kits then we would have a complete band equipment in the house.

World’s Greatest Dad...

I’m sure Z would wholeheartedly agree if I said his dad is the world’s greatest dad. Our day is dull and boring until we hear his dad knock on the door. Before it was Z who would beat me to the door but now we’re no match to Chewee, our pet Shih Tzu. He’s always the first to know and be the first to go wild and plant kisses at S’s feet. After S changes into his home clothes it meant the start of father and son bonding. Their laughter will erupt as they tickle and joke with each other. (more…)
