Last November 30, Bianca Gonzales visited National Book Store inside Trinoma to introduce and sign copies of her book entitled Paano Ba’To?!. How To Survive Growing Up. Bianca was super early and she was already signing books when we came to the venue. Mind you, the call time was 2:00pm but when we came there by 2:05, she had already signed many of the books. I admit I underestimated...

But what really is “Multiple Intelligence”?

We’ve decided to attend a Sunday Mass yesterday in Megamall. As it was our first time to attend an 11-12PM schedule, we were quite surprised that it would be a Chinese Mass. My eldest initially saw that it would be a Chinese mass before we entered the church but my husband and I thought that maybe she was just mistaken. There wasn’t many Chinese looking people inside the church after all, except for the choir members. When the Mass started, that was when we realized that my daughter was correct. The big screens on both sides...
Let’s get showbiz for now. I got a copy of Celebrity Mom’s October 2014 issue and the cover celebrity was the (P&P) petite and pretty Jodi Sta. Maria. I’ve been her fan since I was a teener. I first noticed her on “Tabing Ilog” and found her as very apt to her character back then. She was the best friend of everyone and with her seemingly natural sad eyes, I always empathized with her character whenever she cried. Reading about her made me love her more. I was actually wondering why she became a single...

Have you ever seen your desktop full of post its like my photo above? Well, I had it exaggerated but some days, I really need to organize all my post its just to be able to see what I need to prioritize during the day. I can’t work without a list or a post-it. I also don’t feel comfortable working without jotting down my ideas and to-do-lists. So to answer Nuffnang’s question : What skill would I like to unlock and why? Definitely to never forget any detail. They said when you deliver your babies through CS, you’ll...
As parents, we know that it’s our duty to clear the path to our child’s happiness and success. But how do we know if we are doing the right thing? That’s the question that hasn’t popped in my mind until recently when I met Carrie Lupoli, an Education and Parenting Expert, in an intimate merienda session at Mom’s and Tina’s bakery cafe in Quezon City. Three more moms were with us, all respected moms too (Mommy Ginger of mommyginger.com, Mommy Glaiza of moomymusings.com and Mommy Badette of themisischronicles.com)...
