Swimming Lessons Level 2: Water Movement ( Momimhar posted on July 20th, 2017 )

Swimming lessons at YMCA.

This week is my darling daughter’s second level of swimming lessons.  The class is introduced to water movements.  The first level swimming class was about water acclimation where the students were taught to feel confident in the water so they won’t be scared whatsoever. Level 2 is about water movement.  Students are taught about recommended and proper water movement in swimming. Also, breathing techniques are introduced as well as proper floating and to get off the water by themselves.

K was joined with my friend’s daughter Ari because my cousins’ are on vacation.  The instructor teaches the students in the 5-feet deep water then takes them to the 8-feet deep water for the jumps.

Birthday Pool Party ( Momimhar posted on July 15th, 2017 )

Pool, balloons, party

There are a lot of fun things going on this summer vacation.  Besides swimming classes for darling daughter, birthday parties and special event invitations are keep coming in.

Yesterday, DD got invited to a birthday pool party.  It was not a Luau Party. Just a typical kids pool party.  Darling daughter enjoyed it very much. As you know, she likes swimming.  My dear friends and I watched over the young ones because the pool was quite deep.  That is why wearing a life preserver is very important even in a shallow pool.  Age-appropriate and US Coast Guard approved life jackets should always be handy, and adult supervision is advised on young children.

Friends, happy kids, birthday party

As for the party, my dear friends and I had fun catching up while the kids were swimming in the pool.  This is the very first time K and I went to a pool party.  There were lots of food and we met new friends. It was awesome.

Earthquake hit my Hometown Kananga Leyte Philippines ( Momimhar posted on July 12th, 2017 )

I was very shocked to know that a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit my hometown Kananga (Leyte, Philippines) around 4:00 P.M. July 6th.  It was tremendously horrible because my family haven’t experienced an earthquake with a magnitude that high.  It’s one of the huge natural disasters so far.  In 2013, a Category 5 Super Typhoon hit my province also. If you remember Typhoon Haiyan (known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines), my province was the most affected when it made a landfall in November 2013.  No power for almost four months.  So depressing.  Now…earthquake.

I was very worried about my family’s safety.  I was relieved when my niece sent me a message telling me that everyone is safe.  Thank goodness!  My brother and his family was also safe. I can imagine the scared people screaming all over the place. I will be in panic, as well.

They are still expecting aftershocks every now and then.  That’s also the danger of earthquakes.  Aftershocks follow after the big one.

Hopefully, electricity and water supply will be back to normal.  The sooner the better.
