The first day of April is marked as “April Fools Day”. Today, we should all beware of pranks and joke baits from friends and coworkers. My most unforgettable April Fool’s Day was 10 years ago. When I was young I really loved to fool people, just for fun. My mind is so creative that it was so natural and easy for me to think of a way to fool people. I knew already that it was April Fool’s Day that day, and I resolved to do something to make it unforgettable. During that time, cellphones were not yet very popular here in the Philippines, only landlines. We had a newly installed phone, and the people in the house of my grandmother, which was also a school didn’t know that there was a cellphone which is unused at the office of my aunt, which is still working. I came up with a fun and crazy idea. I called our phone using the cellphone, which is not far. It’s just like one meter afar, but there is a big desk that separates the two. Now, I called the main phone line using the cellphone, and one of the house helpers answered it, she’s about 10 years older than me. I changed my voice, into a scary one, and I told her that I can see what’s she’s doing. I described how she looked, and the clothes she is wearing. I also described the place where she is. She was super scared, that I almost laughed. I hurried back to the sala, and when she saw me she told me that a ghost called her, and she said it sounded so true because the voice seems to come from deep down the soil. I almost choked. I called her again, and this time I told her that I know what she ate for lunch, and other things she did, she almost cried. Haha! I’m so naughty, right? The story became popular in our place, and people talked about it, they believe it was a ghost, because near the house is a hunted house. I just kept on silent, and I never told anyone about it. I never realized that a small game could be a huge issue. So as of now, I don’t fool people anymore, even if its April Fool’s Day. I just smile instead, every time that memory hunts me, usually every time this event comes. What is your unforgettable April Fool’s day experience?

Its the end of the 3rd month of the year again, March. Summer is coming, and I’m sure most kids and teens out there are pretty excited about it. This is a time of fun, relaxation and enjoyment. A time when families could get together and hang out on the beach, on a picnic or anywhere under the sun. I’m starting to feel the “hot climate”. This is one of the highlights of vacation from school. This is the time that is awaited by students. Summer is a time when many fruits, vegetables, plants are in their full growth. In short, time for harvest.
I believe you are now starting to plan on your trip huh? Well, that’s good. You might also want to plan for a small business like halo-halo, ice cream and anything that quenches thirst. haha! Think about it.
You can also enroll your kids for summer lessons like piano, swimming, guitar playing, ballet etc. In that way, they can enjoy their time in a profitable manner. Enjoy the season:)
