If you have kids who are still studying in grade level, story telling contests may be part of your child’s annual calendar activities. This is an activity which we look forward, not so much because of the competitive aspect, but because we look forward on seeing the kids focus, learn a new piece and be able to practice being not afraid on stage. It’s a good time to build self confidence and speaking skills. I personally believe that people who have self-confidence and good abilities to speak have an edge when it comes to being...

Smelling good is one thing I always want my daughters to be conscious of themselves. When it comes to being ma-“kikay”, my daughters aren’t not that so much into that thing, but I told them that even if they are not that fashion savvy like most of their peers, they always need to at least smell good. Of course, that should follow naman because they have good personal hygiene habits but sometimes when they are at school, they do all these activities that they can’t avoid being “amoy-pawis”. That’s...
We were all brought up with cakes as one of the most special symbols of celebration, particularly birthdays. Filipinos love cakes and no matter how cake designs had evolved these days, the simplest cake will be enough to bring happiness to the celebrant. But Red Ribbon—one of the leading bakeshops in the country—wants to make Filipinos feel more special by offering a double treat to celebrants with their latest Double Deck Dedication Cake. Have you tasted a Red Ribbon cake before? I bet you will agree with me that their chocolate...
Hubby and I made a quick visit recently to Philippine Science High School to submit my daughter’s application for their qualifying exam. This year 2015, the exam will be on October 3 but before that, you need to submit the requirements, pay a small fee and return back to get the final examination permit. It was our first time to see Philippine Science High School and we took the opportunity to make a quick trip around the campus. We didn’t plan it ok? We were just curious and we thought, since we were already there, why not...
As a mom, one thing that I am most proud of is seeing my kids grow up healthy, and of course, pretty! And I am very particular when it comes to their skin. Though genetically, my daughters’ skin is smooth and fine, I can still say that it’s because of how I take care of them. I don’t say that their skin is a hundred percent flawless but I can definitely say that theirs is something that they can proudly show off. So how can you maintain your child’s healthy baby skin? Here are some of my tips: 1. Let them use gentle...
What’s a circle of trust (COT)? For me, it’s that invisible spot in your heart where you put the names of the persons who make you feel comfortable when you ask something that troubles you when it comes to parenting. It’s not that easy to have a circle of trust. For someone like me who works online at least 80% of the day, I read a lot of information daily and this information overload can be confusing sometimes. So what do I do? I rely on history. For me to trust someone, a person, a product, a reading material or a...
Do you remember the ‘I Love You Sabado’ jingle of Jollibee? It was first heard year 1987 and I was only 9 that year but until now, the jingle is still clear in my memory. After so many years, Jollibee is playing the jingle again and to formally welcome the jingle’s return, six flagship Jollibee stores had a simultaneous launch program this Saturday and it was attended by the hottest celebrities in the country. We were at Jollibee E. Rodriguez and the little Jollibee branch was fully packed with Jollibee Kids club members,...
