Punzi as stage dad

I blocked off my schedule for today so I can take Nico to Ateneo for his Grade School Entrance Exam.

But I had him attend school first and that ended 11:00 a.m.

After a quick lunch and it was off to Katipunan.

And wow! There was no parking spot in sight. They specifically timed that exam at dismissal time. So I had to drop off Nico and her nanny to look for the testing area themselves.

I wandered around to look for a spot to park and ended up, of all places, in a little known but inaccessible place in Ateneo. Fortunately, there were a lot of tricycles around as the terminal was nearby. So I was able to accompany Nico as he went in for his exam.

The exam took about thirty minutes. But surprisingly, Nico finished about 10 minutes ahead of time and was the first child out, much to the dismay of the other parents there.

I don't know what this means, though. It could either be he did so well that he finished ahead or so poor that he could not continue with the test. I this first option was the correct one.

Then, we took a tricyle again to get to the car. And I rewarded Nico by treating him to a snack at a nearby mall.

I do hope he did very well today. According to the annoucement, the results will be out by December.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
