Math Genius?

Tweet

My favorite subject when I was in grade school and high school is Math. Here’s an excerpt from one of my previous post:

Math was my favorite subject in high school. My math teacher made me believe that I am a math genius! That made me decide to study Math in college. I passed the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test) and took up Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics Major in Actuarial Science.

I was able to use whatever I learned in college for a few years. But I finally decided that there’s no love lost between me and the actuarial field. You might want to read my whole post on why I decided not to become rich.

My son doesn’t like Math. But I encourage him not to, hate math, because he’s actually the math genius in the family. Smarter than me, BS Math graduate, and his dad, BS Math and Physics graduate.

Any suggestions on how to encourage him not to hate Math?

Wanted: Maid

Tweet

Four more days and we’re back to our real world. We’re flying back to Manila on Sunday. I’ll surely miss having someone do the house chores, having a maid is awesome. Well, at least in the morning, at night I wash the dishes because she’s a stay-out maid. Starting on Sunday, when we arrive in Manila, I’ll have to do the laundry, clean the house, do everything by my lonesome self again.

Our vacation here in the province was so stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about the meals, the unclean house and the dirty laundry. Thanks to our maid.

I have no luck in finding a good maid that I can bring in the city. How I wish there’s a maid catalog just like that of Avon products. That would make things easier for people looking for a good helper. Just browse the catalog, compare the maids and find the perfect one for your family!

We went to the beach yesterday. It was just a 45-minute drive from our house in the province. Look how calm the sea is, that's at 630 in the morning. Because we were very early, we had the whole resort to enjoy for 2 hours. The water was very clear, there were small fishes swimming near the shoreline.

I was not able to join them in swimming, it’s that time of the month, so I just spent the day taking pictures. I was the official photographer of the group. While they were basking in the sun, I spent some time in the shade of the beach hut reading an ebook from my cellular phone.

How did you spend your alone time this week?

dealing with a difficult person

Tweet

I'm the type of person who doesn't want to get mad. But I also don't have enough patience especially when it comes to dealing with a difficult person. My solution is to distance myself from people who I find annoying and difficult. Because if I don't, remove myself from the situation, the impact of my anger will be stronger than a blow given by a muscled guy.

There's this person who I don't want to talk to anymore. But it would be selfish of me to do that. In a few more years, I don't have to endure dealing with this difficult person. Only a few more years.
