grade school diaries

the results of enzo's entrance exam was announced yesterday. and he passed! he was one of the 19 who passed, and i was crying so much of happiness when i heard it from hubby. hubby was the one to check the results at the school since i was manning my one-day bazaar with friend shayne the whole day. i cried like a baby because i've been so wanting enzo to get into that school. reasons? lots. firstly, i was never frustrated every time i visited the school -- the staff members are so professional, the school is so clean and everything looked so in order. second, it advocates multiple intelligence -  something i want my son to be -- a well-balanced person. i don't want him to focus only in the academe - i also want him to be an artist (like mom and dad), and a sporty kid who understands his body more than anybody else. all these, and probably more, i expect from the school, which seems really promising. based on my research, it's a good feeder for the best universities in the country. it is also one of the schools that my ex-colleague recommended; she once was an adviser of a freshman class in one of the well-known all-girl schools in the country. she also mentioned a few schools, but their graduates (grade school) were not as balanced as the ones coming from my son's future school (we're enrolling him in april). she said that most products have very good communicating skills, and are quick in mathematics and well-oriented in sports and arts. the other schools' products were undeniably good communicators, and it's just that. that ex-colleague was one hell of a really good teammate of mine back in the days and i know when she's impressed and when she's just making things up.
despite a ho-hum bazaar (in terms of sales) yesterday, i am happy the entire day. i took a selling space beside a friend i can spend an entire day with. i got the greatest news about my son. i think this is gonna be happy sunday (not to mention that i cleared up my sewing workstation mess, and about to make the dress i designed yesterday at the bazaar)...
