Krazy Garlic (Back to School – Totoo na!)

Brought the 2 kids to their first day of school today. Everything is sparkling & brand new. New shoes, new bags, new uniforms.. and best of all, they have a chance for a new life, a do-over. That’s all I ever wanted for them from the start. To EXPERIENCE high school life the best way they can. Have friends, lots & lots of them. Have proms, have clubs. Have a canteen, for goodness sake! 🙂

Mah bebe loves!! <3
The superfriends kids are complete under 1 roof! 😛
I should have enrolled them in a big school from the start. I’ve always been a control freak so I thought a small school would be better, and I could keep an eye on them. I’ve always been afraid to let them go so I’ve coddled & shielded them the best that I can… from the bad, but also from the good. It is only now that I’m slowly realizing how I put them in such a small box by doing so. But no regrets. They are who they are now because of their foundation from their old school, so I hope they will carry what morals, ethics, & principles they have learned and use it for self advancement & enhancement in their big new school.

Their first day brought out a mixture of jumbled emotions in me. Worried -that they might not make friends right away & not have someone to eat with during lunch. Anxious -that they’ll have the wrong kind of friends & get mixed with the “bad” crowd. Excited -that finally they have a chance at a normal high school life. Happy -that they will be exposed to so many school activities that will help them develop & grow. Mixed emotions. I can only hope & pray that I am doing right by them.

To celebrate (or mourn) their last day of freedom, I treated them last friday to a “prisoner’s last meal” at Krazy Garlik, lels. I ordered food like there’s no tomorrow. And we all finished every single morsel, to my astonishment! I know dates like these will be far & in between now that they’re back in school, so the nurturing mommy in me wanted to fill them up with nourishment before I let out out into the big bad world. 😛

I didn’t care much for the candied garlic on top.
There was an overall taste of garlic seeping within the brulee as well which I didn’t appreciate in this dessert. Too bad..
Apple Tart 225 php
Yum. <3

Even as I write, I can’t help but feel anxious as to how their day is going. I’m really really hoping that they are having the best time of their lives & making tons of new (good) friends. The only thing holding me back from going back to their school now is that I am left with no car.. Kap made sure of that! Boo! Buzzkill! 😛

    Naku, Mommy Jane. I'm sure my mom had the same worries when I went to high school… naka-dorm pa ako in-campus! But I think after Day 1, hindi na nya ako na-miss. Hahahaha!I think you have done your best for them, Jane – they are beautiful children inside and out – because you have nurtured them and gave them the best that is humanly possible. Relax; God is always with them. 🙂

    Janey, our kids have to grow up some time so putting them in a bigger school is one way of teaching them to fend for themselves. and rely on their own "kakayahan". I know a lot of people that transferred their kids to this school & they "blossomed". welcome to "Z" Jonah & Jena!

    Thank you so much, Techoy. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me & I can't think clearly, lalo na pag may waterworks hay. I'm glad my baby girl is coming around & is giving her new school a chance. Please continue to pray with me for the 2 kids. Thank you for the moral support Techoy, you just don't know how much it means to me. Mwah mwah!! :-*

    Thank you for your words of wisdom! <3 The cocktail was a bit strong for early dinner haha. Tinamaan agad ako halfway so I didn't get to finish it. My drinking buddy is on a diet so she didn't get to drink with me (very good!) ;P Pag-uwi mo, cocktails tayo! 🙂
