Carlo’s 12th Birthday

Last Wednesday, my little brother finally turned twelve years old. He had a birthday celebration in school. I was not there because I am not aware that my lolo decided to have the celebration on Tuesday. They took advantage of the fact that almost all of the students in Special Class are present and I'm pretty sure my brother enjoyed it. Too bad there are no photos! I was at home helping out my bestfriend Lecel since its her graduation day.

I saw Carlo's smile when I woke up. He was beside me singing Vic Magsaysay's campaign jingle.

"HAppy Birthday Carlo!"

"Hapi Hertdai!" he replied

"Birthday mo Carlo. Happy birthday!"

"Hertdai!"

No one knows that I was able to save half of my BlogToProfit earnings for a little something for his birthday. I asked Ate Virgie to but the ingredients of pancit. Nagpancit kami for a longer life for my baby (baby?) brother.

I wentto school hoping to check my grades unfortunately, not all the teachers were able to finish our grades yet. I am hoping to get better grades now. I went to the Dean's office to to get my recommendation letter for my internship here in Manila.

After a tiresome afternoon, I decided to go to the market to buy some toys for Carlo. I bought 6 toys for a hundred bucks which includes:

              * Teks Cards (Asian Treasures and two other anime.. i was hoping to get Super Twins though)

              *Toy Truck

               * Cutie Turtle

               * Airplane

               * Toycar

               * doreamon stickers

I was amazed when I found this sticker book containing 250 stickers of Doreamon, his favorite Cartoon for only Php 10!

I originally planned to have my gifts wrapped, but he found it out agad hehe

Wow… i miss my Doreamon!

Overview on LovingCarlo - The Special Boy turns 12!

As I have mentioned in my personal blog, I'm planning to make a simple blogsite dedicated to my brother Carlo who is an autistic child. I'll be sharing my day-to-day experiences as a sister to a special child. All the joys, pains and inspiration that only he can offer.

lot of people have misunderstood the real meaning of Autism. Some people call them names such as "sira-ulo", "sintu-sinto" etc. I'll be honest that I'm already used to stares of strangers especially when I'm with him. He is a hyperactive kid.. very hyper!

Juan Carlos Rodriguez loves music. He can adapt to tunes easily and he also loves to draw. He is currently enrolled in an one-on-one SPED program in Dagupan City and I can see much improvement in him.

There are times wherein I feel like I'm an irresponsible sister. Why? because I seldom check his weekly developments. There are also times wherein I'd choose to go out with friends that spend the weekend with him. Well I've changed a bit. He needs me more since he's growing up as a tall young teenager.

Today he's turning 12 years old and this is one of my presents to him. I'm planning to buy some toy truck and candies wrapped in a colorful paper.

Carlo Loves The Philippines

Original entry Witten last October 2, 2006

Carlo is really fascinated with Flags specifically, the Philippine Flag

"Bayang Magiliw Perlas ng Silanganan"

My brother keeps on singing our National Anthem everytime he makes his own flag. He even made his own KKK flag and yeah, an American Flag.

Don't you know that my brother is a big help to the ECSSA Officers during the quiz show?

He made this red flag and blue flag and he used our BBQ sticks, then an idea popped in my head: Kapag Wrong ang sagot, color Blue ang itataas ng facilitator. Kapag red, Tama ang sagot.

Kuya Arvin thanked my brother at nakalibre ng maraming pagkain noong foodfest

* In case you didn't know, my brother is a special child. He is autistic but despite of his condition, he never fails to make me smile
