Junior High School Moving Up

I had no blog post for the past few weeks because I was busy with my offline life and had no time to craft or blog. I have so many things to share about our travel trips, but for now, let me start with “Moving Up”. 

School Year 2024-2025 is already over, and I’m proud to say that my son finished this school year with a bang. My son won 2nd place in the General Knowledge Contest and 1st place in Aghamatika Contest. He also received the Leadership Award because he was part of their Student Council. And during the Moving Up Ceremony, he received four medals. 

Seventh Honor 
Gold Eagle Award 
Best in Information and Communications Technology 
Special Recognition in Research. 

This is a big achievement compared to his previous years, so I am proud of him because he really improves every year. So when I was making his Junior High School Memories video, I chose the “This Is My Now” song of Jordin Sparks as the background song. I like the message of this song.


This Is My Now 

There was a time I packed my dreams away 
Living in a shell, hiding from myself 

There was a time when I was so afraid 
I thought I’d reached the end 
Baby that was then 
But I am made of more than my yesterdays 

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment 
As I look around I can’t believe the love I see 
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts 
That was then, this is my now. 

Had to decide was I gonna play it safe 
Or look somewhere deep inside and try to turn the tide
Find the strength to take that step of faith 
And I have the courage like never before, yeah 
I’ve settled for less but ready for more 
Ready for more 

This is my now 

I just hope na hind maburn out sa kakaaral and he will have the same passion sa pag-aaral until he finishes college. 

Dinner at Italliani’s 

After the Moving Up, we went to Italliani’s for a quick celebration. We ordered Spaghetti Vongole, Margherita and Garlic and Cheese Zeppole.




Lunch at NIU by Vikings

The following day, we were supposed to eat in a hotel because I found a 50% off buffet promo, but it was already fully booked when my husband called to reserve. Grabe lang ito, fully booked agad kahit 5 days before kami nagpareserve. So I suggested to my husband, sa NIU by Vikings na lang ulit so he called the restaurant to reserve. 

My mom was not able to attend my son’s Moving Up because natapat na flight nila from Boracay to Manila yung event so delayed Moving Up celebration na lang with the Senior Club. Hehehe! Good thing we made a reservation kasi punuan and marami din kumakain because of Recognition, Moving Up and Graduation. 

Fortunately, there was an ongoing Graduation Promo when we dined. We did not know about this promo, good thing na kagagaling lang namin sa school to get the School Report Card and Moving Up Photos, so we were able to avail of this promo. In our case, aside from the Moving Up Photos, they still asked for my son’s school ID bago naapproved yung FREE BUFFET. Sayang nga kasi we are only seven people, so dalawa sana yung free kung walo lang sana kami. 

Anyway, I already blogged about our “Lunch Buffet at NIU by Vikings” last January and halos same naman food and marami rin tao so hindi na ko nagtake ng marami pictures.

Easter Eggs Layered Craft and More

Honestly, I don’t know where I am going to use my Easter Craft Projects, but I wanted to use my paper scraps, so I cut all these designs. At least hindi na nakatambak na papel, craft projects na lang ang nakatambak. Hehehe! I will share the link where you can purchase the file, or you can also search some of these designs on Cricut Design Space if you have a subscription.

You can personalize these tags, but I have not done it anymore since I only want to cut the designs.

Congratulations Cards

This school year is about to end, and my son is part of the "Overall Top of his batch so I am busy making cake toppers and congratulations cards. I only need 2 cards, but there are so many designs that I like to try, so I ended up making 6 cards. All these cards are from the Cricut Design Space, and you need a subscription to make these cards.
