Homework

First weekend since school started and already Ben's not living up to our agreement. He is only supposed to play video games on Fridays and Saturdays (or if there is no school the following day) but he has exceeded his limits again. Still, I'm a bit lenient with him this first week because classes have not really started yet.

They do have homework for AP for tomorrow, and that is to pick a photo from a place they visited this summer and to write/type something about it. We (or rather I) chose a picture from Bakhawan Eco-Park in Kalibo. Beautiful mangrove area, reforested. He agreed, and here's a picture of him doing his short paragraph about it:

Earlier, Kuya Toti went impulse buying and bought a Samsung Note, the 10.1 inch one. He decided to come by the house to see if how Ben will react. I was pleasantly surprised when, after he was asked by Kuya Toti if he wanted to play, Ben answered "No, I can't because I have to do my homework." Even Kuya Toti was shocked. Kuya Tony told him, if he gets good grades then he will buy him a tablet, just the cheap ones. I told him if he passes the entrance exam to Philippine Science HS, I'll get him an iPad Mini or something like that. Here's hoping that would encourage him.
