Start of school usually starts on first week of June, this year most schools started in June 1, my kids’ first day of school was yesterday. During my student days, I was guilty of wishing for an early opening of classes so my classmates could sing me a birthday song and my teachers could greet me. That wish wasn’t granted because there are NO school opening started as early as June 5 during my student years. Mababaw ba? That’s who I am.
On the contrary, I never wished for early school opening (for my children) because we didn’t make the most of summer vacation this year, rainy days… budget… and inheritance problems with my relatives. As usual, I woke up as early as 5 am to prepare my kids for school and I turned on the TV to wait for weather report. TeleRadyo interviewed Deped Secretary Jesli Lapus, “No classes for elementary and high school students in NCR (National Capital Region) because of heavy monsoon rains and strong winds which may trigger flashfloods and landslides”.
I was thinking of updating all my blogs today since school day is my normal blogging day when my kids are out for school. I guess, my blogging schedule will be back to normal again next week if I don’t have terrible DSL connection like yesterday. And since there are no classes today, I might be out for lunch or dinner with my kids. Chow!

hello there! i apologize if this is somehow out of place but i can’t seem to place this comment in its rightful place in your other blog.
i’d just like to comment about the bloggers-unite for the 2010 Philippine elections badge in your 2010-election blog. the blue field of the Philippine flag must be on the left side if the Philippine flag were displayed vertically. currently, in the badge, the right field is on the left side, which means the nation is at war. unless you/the badge creator really meant for it to be as such.
the regulations on the display of the Philippine flag is found in the National Historical Institute website http://www.nhi.gov.ph
thanks. i hope you don’t mind this comment-

Ian, I’m sure it is correct. I visited the link, the “left of the observer” is somewhat confusing.
Let’s put it this way, the triangle is on the left if displayed normally… then turn it clockwise… the blue part will be on the right side, the red on the left and the triangle is on top.
Thanks for visiting my other blog and your comment. Hope to see you soon.
Juliana,
Di na kami umalis, ang lakas ng hangin at ulan dito. Blessing daw yun.
Vlad,
Thanks… belated happy birthday din po sa iyo. Pareho pala tayo gemini.
hello! thanks for your prompt reply =] and thanks for taking my comment seriously.
the way i understand it, “left of the observer” means when an observer is looking at the flag before him/her, the blue field ought to be at the observer’s left. i agree, the description seems a bit difficult to visualize.
maybe a clearer reference would be the flag displayed vertically at the House of Representatives session hall? here’s a link for your reference: http://www.congress.gov.ph/about/index.php?about=buildings http://www.congress.gov.ph/photojournal/zoom.php?photoid=273 and http://speakernograles.com/ <– yes, he HAS his own website =p
sorry for being makulit about this ha. just wanted everything to be a-ok =]

Hi, Ian. I found a post that explained a lot about the issue. I saw images on the links you posted.
