Mommy in the Pantry

-
June 18,2013

Today is my sixth long kindergarten waiting day.  So far it has been both tiring and fun. Legs and butt numbing from prolonged sitting and standing but well, its pretty rewarding. Correction, its  actually the most  rewarding thing in the wonderful world of motherhood. 

Sitting here in the school pantry along with a number of guardians,  most are actually moms,  i can see a daddy whose patience in waiting four times a week i truly admire.  A number of "ates" or nannies now also neck numbing staring and thumbing their  cellphones for three hours  daily probably texting their " ka-berks" for tv's local soap  (be careful with my heart) updates lol. Yet in another corner, a grandmother i think in her late 60's i surprisingly saw, killing time in her ipad. I repeat, IPAD. Wow. Look how awesome technology is nowadays. Grannies are getting hippy. 

Separation anxiety.  

Oh no. The school booklet states parents must stay in the pantry or waiting area by the time their kids are ready to be left alone in the care of their teacher.  Luckily, i stayed in the pantry the entire kindergarten session today. Halleluiah! after a week of standing, Sam went out only three times, a bathroom break, snack/ recess time and the last one handing me his water bottle telling me to hold it so he could go out as much and as often  as he gets thirsty! Haha excuses! too smart huh, but mom is smarter. Otherwise, imma say,  hooray for Sam!  Mommy got over the separation anxiety syndrome today! 

It is yet the second week, 36 more weeks,  180 more waiting days to go. More challenging mommy days ahead. 

Xo,
Mommy in the pantry.

Who says you cant put together a delightful coffee fix, good food and art?  SPARK COFFEE+CRAFTS  is not just your ordinary cafe in the streets of Marfori. In Davao, there may be a hundred and more cafes to choose from when all you wanted to do is to release stress after a days work. During the last leg of DDI's month long Davao food crawl, i was happy to find myself sitting in this really artsy cafe and being able to try out their food offerings is heaven! While waiting for the food, I took photos of the cafe to  show you whats inside Spark Coffee + Crafts. this cafe is owned by 5 cousins who at first was into arts and crafts  and  selling it online but later on decided to venture into owning up their own cafe where people cannot  just sit and have coffee alone but to also have an artsy experience  because Spark hold art workshops once in a while. Ive heard about Spark for quite sometime already but it is only until las weekend that i was able to visit the
