Whenever we prepare our kids’ school baon, we want them to bring with them not only the food but also the love that comes with it. That’s why we put so much effort in it diba? It’s also the main reason why my kids, even though they are grown ups already and are already in high school, they still prefer to bring baon, and not buy from the school cafeteria. They must know that when I prepare them food, that I’ve thought of them when they leave the house, until they get home. I admit though that it’s already...
At any time of day, if someone will ask me what I want to drink, 99% I’d answer coffee. I’m not a coffee-addict though. I limit drinking to 2 cups a day so when I drink one, I always want my coffee to be perfect. I drink both black and coffee with cream. When I drink black, I want it as black as it can be, without sugar. But when I drink white coffee, I want it to be as creamy as it can be. Great Taste White offers me that luxury to enjoy a couple of minutes of break from my freelancing jobs. It’s creamy but...
It has always been a delight for us to visit Kidzania Manila even though it is miles away from our home. Why? Because in Kidzania, my kids get to know how it is to be an adult for a day, get to try different roles and jobs, choose who they want to be and the responsibilities that come with it, and being paid for what they do. They get to experience adulting and have fun with it.

National Book Store’s Grand Back To School Fair started Friday and ends on Sunday May 26, at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center, Palm Drive, in Makati City. We were one of the early birds last Friday because that’s how excited I was. I want to see the first stocks to be out that day and this is already my second time to attend an NBS Back To School Fair. You know how moms shop, right? It’s not enough for us to make a single trip around the venue. If we can see every nooks and cranny around the shop, we’ll do it, just...
Well, I am not exaggerating, really. I was still in high-school when I first saw Aladdin back in 1992 and I’ve watched it over and over again with my little girls. I fell in love with the movie, the soundtrack, and the characters. Who wouldn’t? Aladdin The Movie Official Poster This year, the movie’s music and story come to life on the big screen for the new generation. So I made sure that I see it on the advanced screening in 3D and with the whole family on its first day of showing. The live re-make was made as...
“If kids are much more involved in food preparation, then they truly get encouraged to eat more, which promotes good nutrition, plus they learn cooking early which is a very important life skill.” This is what Llena Tan-Arcena, the Culinary Services Manager of San Miguel Pure Foods told us when they hosted this year’s Kids Kitchen Camp held at the Makati Diamon Residences (MDR). SMPF Kids Kitchen Camp 2019 I couldn’t agree more. Teaching kids to cook early is teaching them different kinds of disciplines in...
