I've disclosed to some friends that I'm in the process of getting a spa franchise.  I've gone through the interviews and the feasibility studies.  I've secured our site a couple of months ago.  I just need to get the necessary permits and documents. Today, we started the orientation and the training. Hopefully, in a couple of months, I'll be able to run a spa all by myself.  It's scary and exciting at the same time.

Javi is now a nursery student, while Johann is in Senior Kinder.  I'm quite proud that Javi adjusted quite well.  He can be left alone with the teacher on the first day.  No tantrums or crying episodes from him.  Johann is glad to be back with friends.  Relationships with co-parents were forged once again.  Masyado ata akong nagpa-bibo last year.  So now, I have more volunteer work in my hands.
