I had a salary loan decades ago when I was still employed in a telecoms company and up till now, I haven’t paid it fully. Somehow, no matter how I tried to pay it, excuses got it in the way. I also applied for a Loan Restructuring Program years ago and I only had P500 to pay monthly. I had P12,000 debt that time and I was given 2 years to pay. Unfortunately, I did not take it seriously and was only able to pay half of it and then stopped paying. After neglecting my dues for more than two years, as I was checking if my SSS voluntary...

Summer is the happiest season for our kids. They have all the time to sleep, play, and have fun with their friends and family. Unfortunately, our vacation season also falls in the hottest times of the year. It’s very easy to be dehydrated without us noticing it. Germs and bacteria are also more proactive during hot and humid season. If you will notice, we are more prone to diarrhea during summer. So how do we protect, fortify and keep our kids hydrated during summer? My tip is, just don’t forget these three things. If possible,...

I’ve known the power of coconut oil since I was young. It was kind of a legacy of my Lola Adelina who taught me how to use extracted coconut oil on my hair to make my scalp healthy and my hair shiny. I still do that once in a while and I am also trying to teach the same to my daughters who have thick hair. But I found out that coconut extract is not only for hair. It’s also good for the skin. And I’ve seen it in action in Cocoline Naturals Body Wash, Body Lotion and Soap. Cocoline Naturals Coconut Milk Licorice Intense...

Have you tried going to a concert with your teens? For the first time, I did. And I’m glad it became a nice experience for the three of us. If you are familiar with K-POP, you must know this young boy band EXO and recently, they had a concert here in Manila at The Araneta Center. My kids are avid fans of this group and they were just excited to see their “bias” (the term they use for their favorite band member or idol) in person. I knew it was coming, paying for concert tickets, because they had been fans of other boy...

I was one of the many moms who got to try the new yoghurt milk drink from Nestle – Bear Brand Yogu! I taste tested it and I found it delightfully creamy and sweet. My kids are not into eating fruits that much and so having them drink Yogu was such a great relief for me. They liked the strawberry and mango Yogu, maybe because, from all the fruits I serve them, they only eat mangoes and strawberries. I checked the nutrition label and as a mom, I was glad to see all these vitamins packed in this drink: Protein, Calcium, Zinc (22%)...

How do you think watching a movie at the park feels like? 20 years ago, I think it would have been a kilig date for me and my husband. I remember we used to go to this very same park, QC Memorial Circle, to meet or have a date. We haven’t experienced watching a movie there but I’m sure naupuan na namin lahat ng sulok ng park. Our cell phones, if I remember correctly, for the sake of reminiscing, were Nokia 3210 pa. Those were our bf-gf days, when I was still in college, we were always broke and QCMC was our haven, hahah!
