Last week & on going

 A quick bite between ballet and the next class.

KiCo do not have the habit of heavy breakfast or should i say breakfast in general.
in fact, there is a lot of room for improvement in the faculty of food and nutrition.
i seriously hope i could buck up on the food department. 




 we went to see the fireworks again.
experienced a little diminishing marginal utility this time but it was nevertheless, spectacular.

i don't know why but i had consciously not used Google in the verb sense when i talk to Kiki.
i never say - "let's google it" whenever we need to check on something from the net.
i always say - "let's check the internet" or in her words, "let's check on the computer".
(with adults. i often say - "Just Google it") 

although i am pro-Google, even more so now that i have read so many accounts on them, i root for them too, but i am still not comfortable to give them all my confidence. although they have by far in my opinion fared the best, i am still not sure if i will want a cyber spider webbing my every move, thoughts and all. the spider crawls on every digital stuff, including the text i am writing now. (Blogspot is owned by Google. so is Youtube and a dozen more stuff that we use) note: you can turn off the option to be tracked but it may affect the search engine's ability to serve up more relevant results for you, the price of the free service is advertisements whether explicit or implicit and Google claims to do it as little as possible or at least as relevant an ad as possible) If not Google then MS? no, i would rather bet on Google. is it then inevitable that our lives and identity be represented by our digital footprints? gosh, this is by far the most engaging essay i am writing - ethics in business, reference to Google. by the way, both Larry Page and Sergey Brin had Montessori childhood education. so did Jeff Bezon (Amazon) and Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia). there must be something particularly igniting with Montessori method, i shall research more into it!

Three cheers to Montessori.
