Bonding Time

Back then in NZ we used to sleep in 1 bedroom...daddy and baby in the double bed...me, kuya and ate in the bunk bed. Since we are all in 1 bedroom, the night was always filled with laughter and giggles, songs and stories :)

Fast forward, the kids now sleep in their own bedroom except the youngest who claimed our bedroom as HIS bedroom ;) Anyway, last Friday my kids asked me if they can sleep in the living room to watched the opening of the World Cup 2010. Since the following day is a no-school day I gave in to their appeal. Of course, I have to sleep with them to make sure that they will not stay-up too late. Even though it's too cold to sleep in the living room we did enjoy sleeping together again...a truly special family bonding moment :)

Who's responsible?

I was so annoyed of the blue team's leader at today's Master Chef challenge. When they were asked to choose who amongst the 7 of them should go to the elimination round, the team leader has no guts to volunteer himself. Yes, he did his best but at the end of it all he is still the one responsible for the outcome of his team's action.

The scenario above is similar to a ship that's about to sink. It is the norm that the captain should be the last person to get out of the vessel. That is what leadership means...being responsible.

The blue team's leader proves that he only cares for himself and that his mind is already set to bringing home the Master Chef title. I agree we all are after for something. However, in every competition we need to keep in mind that ability can take us to the top but it is always the character that will keep us there.
