Peniel Integrated Christian Academy Homeschooling Program Last academic year, we decided to finally transfer Yesha to Peniel. We paid around 18,500 Php, which is lower than our previous homeschool provider. Little did I know, that every year the school administration offers early bird promo to continuing student.

Last May, with God’s grace, I was able to finish my masters in counseling psychology. I was about to begin my counseling practise wherein I already paid my deposit and advance for the condo unit I chosen. But a week after I made my payment, we discovered that I’m with our second baby. My first trimester has been difficult — …
I saw an image quote yesterday that says, “the smartest thing that a woman can learn is to never need a man.” I forgot the exact quote, but something to that effect. It’s good that there were several feminist men and women who disagreed with the quote. One woman called to stop gender-hate statements and negativity, that she herself doesn’t …
