Month: April 2012

My mind, our home, our kids are in chaos as of this moment. Well, it’s always in chaos but this time it’s a bit on a notch higher. Maybe a good long torturous run could sort it out, but I’m not in the mood.

So I’m posting about this so I can take off my mind from the leaning-on-a-negative chaos kind of day.

Last week, Migi and Meg were tagged along by the MIL and relatives to their Bohol trip. Lucky kids, I’ve never been to Bohol yet.

Following are few of the 300 pics given by the MIL to me.

I’m not really sure what’s the point of the kid in costume when we all know there’s no longer indigenous people in Bohol. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood today, but I felt it’s kinda sending the wrong signals especially to the kids. Something about the a kid in a “silhig-looking” costume holding a “coconut-tree lizard” (I just made up that animanl name) felt like child + animal abuse? Not that I have any solution to offer so I will stop sensationalizing it.

I love this except that the MIL cropped Migi’s head. Clowning on pictures really looks cute on kids.
The whole Bohol Trip gang — thanks a lot for tagging along my kids!

This was our first ever family picture. This has been printed over and over again for my kids’ school assignment which asked them to bring a family pic.
Finally, we got a new version. Below was taken earlier after the Quota Trail Run. Not really a better version. We still look topsy-turvy but I guess that’s just how it is we are.

Yes, I’ve been watching a lot of movies / docus about running. Anyhoo, of all the movies about running I’d seen, this line from Prefontaine (story of Steve Prefontaine) kind of struck me /us most:

Even though you love your child…
…you must let them go to the other side of the mountain.

I was watching the trailer of Town of Runners, a documentary film, and I saw this subtitle. I guess letting go, giving the kids the free reign of their lives might be much more harder than providing them with their basic needs — food, shelter, and gadgets. =)
