He's going to be 9 years old this year and somehow he wants to have some control over his life and out of the blue, he asked us if he could go back by himself from the school.
I have trained him before just in case either I or papa are not available to send or pick him up to and from school.
So when he wanted to go back by himself, we cannot say no and we gave him old mobile phone for him just in case he got lost or needed some helps.
What surprised us is he will call me before he's going back home so I can predict his time arrival.
So far he's been doing it well for almost a week.
I can't believe that he's growing so fast, becomes more mature and responsible.
Well done Richie !

Happy Teacher's Day 2018
On Thursday, Richie will celebrate Teacher's Day, and as I thought that I will prepare the gift the day before, he told me that tomorrow will be the day to give some gifts for teacher if we want to.
So last minute preparation, I came up with something edible instead of just bought from the stores and rushed out to supermarket, buying variety of teas, plastic packagings and diy mini cards.
Most ladies are usually fond of the tea, so that's my inspiration.
Hopefully his teachers love it.
Happy Teacher's Day !
Thank you for teaching and nurturing Richie in his primary 3 journey.

St Ignatius de Loyola Movie
On Friday, we had movie screening at our church about Ignatius de Loyola and we watched it after Tromson's swimming lesson as family. Even though Richie has no interest yet in the movie but mama write it down here so when he grown up, he can understand the value.
The synopsis :
If you could hear the voice of God, would you want to keep it secret ?
This is the story of a soldier, a man of vice and violence who in his attempt to turn the light was forced to wrestle with his inner demons to the very brink of death. He struggled with depression and near-suicide, his trial before the inquisition and ultimate vindication and how he found about Spiritual Exercise that's still practiced by Jesuit order and layman until today.
What we learn from this movie :
1. Pray for indifference
Sometimes we love to pray for all good things to come to our life, asking blessings ( good financial, good health, happiness in life etc) it's not wrong but it will be wiser if we could ask the heart of indifference to help us to give thanks to God in all situation even though we are in the tribulation, poor health, or misfortunes.
Sometimes God used those undesirable situation to bring us closer to God
2. Consolation - Desolation
What brings us more to God to love and unity is called consolation, what brings us away from God that creates confusion, delusion is called desolation
3. Spiritual Exercise
It's an exercise to discern about voice of God and voice of Evil.
More about spiritual exercise is found in this reading
In conclusion, we are all called to be the Army of God. We need to have the ability to discern what is good and what is evil because a lot of things in this world are in grey areas instead of obvious black and white. Last but not least, do everything for the glory of God (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam)

Family Praise and Worship and Rosary Prayer
We had this family praise and worship every day where papa will lead the PW with one or two songs and we will sing together. Then papa will read two bible readings, one is from old testament and the other one is from gospel reading.
After that, papa will explain shortly about the reading.
Followed with prayers which starting with papa pray for each of us, then Richie and brothers also pray for papa and mama and mama will pray for papa too.
Recently, Richie has a heart - desire to pray for Rosary and because of time constraint, we usually doesn't have time for rosary but yesterday we make commitment to pray rosary as family.
Hopefully, this will be the legacy to Richie and his descendants to keep family prayer as a powerful weapon in family.
