Back to School

Few more weeks left and summer vacation will end and honestly, I haven’t felt the vacation yet. Hehehe! I’ve been so busy and it is obvious because I seldom post on my blog unlike before. Well, I became busy last week because I started preparing for this school year.

 After two months, I went back to the school only to find out that there was a price increase in tuition, books, supplies, and uniform. Waah! I have to readjust my budget again. I mentioned in my post before, click here that we transferred our son to a traditional school so we need new school uniforms. We went to school to fit in his uniform and buy some school supplies. 

 I have to go back yesterday just to buy books because they did not let me last week because there’s a schedule for that. It took me an hour just to buy books. #firsttime #welcometobigschool I went there before 8AM and I was already in the 3rd row, #habangpila But I’m still happy because my friend spent almost 3 hours when she bought books.
May Computer na Preschool. 

 I started putting labels on my son’s stuff, and now I can feel that I really have a school kid because for the past two years I did not experience this. Life is so easy before, I just enrolled my kid and bought books, uniforms, and a portfolio (includes folder, clearbook, and notebook). Cover the books and that’s it. No trip to National Bookstore or Department Store.

Now, my preparation is not yet over and I even told my husband “ni pencil case wala anak ko” He said “Ang laki ng problem ko” hehehe! Well, in Montessori School, everything is provided, no school supplies list and no school bag. Yes, my son only brings a snack bag every day. So I’m adjusting now to traditional school and I can't believe when I learned that school bags cost PHP3000 above. Waah! #butasbulsa 

 Anyway, I already have my ‘’Things to Buy” list and hopefully, I can finish everything this weekend. How about you, are you ready for this school year?

    No, we're not ready for the school year yet haha! I'm still kind of in denial that summer is coing to a close. I've purchased everything we need already, but I still need to wrap books and notebooks in plastic and fix the uniforms and bag that my kid's gonna need. Wag muna!!! Hehe.

    We are also getting ready for the next school year and I have to agree, the fees and expenses do hurt our budget :) Your labels are so nice! I'm thinking of putting some on my daughter's things too :) just so they don't get mixed up with the stuff of other kids.

    Thanks for this sis. I got an idea na how to label my son's school things. Last summer class nawala mga gamit nya like colors and pencils. Ngayon lahat lalagyan ko na ng label and I hope wag nyang alisin. Hehe. By the way, we are not yet ready for the school although meron na kaming books, yun uniform ipapatahi nalang. But the school have yet to release the list of things to buy. Katapusan pa daw.

    We're starting school this year and I'm thankful hindi pa nakakahilo masyado ang tuition and other miscellaneous expenses that comes with it. We haven't enrolled yet so I don't know what school materials he'll be needing (I mean, he's in Nursery, what can he need?!) so I still have your labels on bookmark! :D

    My 3-year old is starting school this year! We're so excited! Yun lang, we haven't completed her things. I can't wait to start labeling them. HAHA I'm such a label addict. I like getting artsy with those labels!

    Isn't it exciting to put together all these things at the beginning of every school year? I just love the rush of school year! Which reminds me, I need to print out my kids' books (i downloaded pdf books for this SY).

    That DIY paper is pretty cool. Can I buy padding glue at any bookstore?
