Back To School

Yohan was supposed to go back to school last Monday but the school announced the postponement of classes as a precautionary measure against A(H1N1) virus. It gave students, who just got home from their overseas vacation, time to take self quarantine.

Classes opened today. It's a brand new school year. My son is now in Prep. Amazing how time flies. It's ironic, because I was the one who felt a wave of separation anxiety when Yohan boarded the school service this morning. I was not worried because yaya was with him but I still had a heavy feeling when he left. The house was suddenly dull, quiet and lonely. I realized how much I missed my son while he was in school. The moment Yohan got home, the house became alive again.

Students are not yet required to wear school uniform this week so I wasn't able to take a photo. I'll take a picture of him next week wearing his uniform.

My sister had 2 days of classes then it was cancelled. This week, someone was positive for the virus at their school so again, classes cancelled. It's a little bit sad actually.

i hope that the school has enough precautions and policies to avoid flu outbreak if in case someone is affected.
i heard there are schools in bulacan and nueva ecija with confirmed cases.

Gday Racheal. Pleased to see Yohan is well enough to return to school.
We had a few schools closed in Melbourne for a week due to swine Flu. Thankfully it hasnt made it to the country yet..

It's good that the schools are taking precautions to stem the spread of H1N1 virus. I would be less worried knowing the school is taking action.

I can imagine how empty it suddenly felt. But think of it nalang as your chance for your "me" time.

I hope everything is OK at school.

It's true, moms like us get really affected seeing our kids grow so fast. Right now, I stay for 3 hours at my son's school. During his summer class, I stayed for 2 hours for the whole five weeks. I wonder how it will be when he gets a little older.

I cannot believe that this virus is still going around. I respect the school for taking precautionary measures.
