A TIME FOR CELEBRATION TO THE GRADUATES!

How many years do we spend our days in school?
Pre-school is 3 years
elementary is 6 depending upon the school or where one is studying some have Grades 7 and 8 surely in the Philippines next year.
There’s 4 years of high school and
another 4 in college
(which also depends on what field of study as medicine takes longer, etc.)
So give and take, it’s close to 16-20 years right?

Our parents long to see the light at the end of the tunnel and see their kids through college. While it is no mean fete to put kids through school, it is of course a glorious day when graduation day happens.



So we have to be cheerful and celebrate even in our simplest celebration through gathering a family and most specially for thanking GOD.

for all the graduates of 2009 and most especially to my TITO Tangly on his GRADUATION day...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

here are some graduation qoutes:

"Graduation is a time of completion, of finishing, of an ending,
however, it is also a time of celebration of achievement and
a beginning for the new graduate."
Catherine Pulsifer

"You are educated.
Your certification is in your degree.
You may think of it as the ticket to the good life.
Let me ask you to think of an alternative.
Think of it as your ticket to change the world. "
Tom Brokaw

"There is a good reason they call these ceremonies
'commencement exercises'.
Graduation is not the end;
it's the beginning."
Orrin Hatch

I will reach for the stars no matter how hard it seems,
and fly like a bird with the knowledge this journey brings.
Semetra C. Vanison, from Today Is The Day, inspirational poems for graduation

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather,
always bring your own sunshine."
Anthony J. D'Angelo


"Graduation is only a concept.
In real life every day you graduate.
Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life.
If you can grasp that,
you'll make a difference."
Arie Pencovici

BABY URIEL LOVES MUSIC

Music that soothes you or makes you happy just might have the same effect on your baby. Although there's evidence that music has cognitive benefits for preschoolers and older children, no one has studied this phenomenon in infants. Still, you may find that music plays a useful role in your baby's life in other ways:

Music as a soother. Works for you, doesn't it? When your baby is fussy or crying, try singing a lullaby like "Hush Little Baby" or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" softly into his ear. The repetitive sounds and your familiar voice may help him feel more secure and relaxed.

Music as calming background noise. Instead of keeping the TV or talk radio on all day, consider switching to an all-music station you like. Or program a digital music player with tunes that please both you and your baby.

Music as a source of strength. A study at Brigham Young University found that premature infants who were exposed to music gained more weight, had lower blood pressure, and had a stronger heartbeat than a comparable group of babies who weren't.

There's no evidence that any one kind of music is more effective than another, so pick what you like. Exception: Animal and plant studies show that the discordant notes and chaotic pace of rap and guitar-heavy rock seem to interfere with growth in both plants and animals and with brain structure in animals.
