BrainFit Studio : Fit Brains Learn Better

As a parent, one of our dreams would be to see our children excel in their studies. We make sure that we prepare them; by enrolling them to different center that we think could train them to be excellent. Tutorials left and right, English, Math, so many to mention, but are they ready? really ready ?

Last week I visit a center BrainFit Studio.As I tour the center, there are so many facts that I have learned. I found out that if I want a better performance for my child, they have to be brain fit, in the way that suits them. Strong brain fitness builds mental foundation needed for life-long learning success and for achieving A+ academic grade.

With fit brains, my children will find it easier and will enjoy more learning new things, be it subjects in school, languages, or new skills like ballet or fencing. With a sense of accomplishment comes higher self-esteem and confidence, a happier child would be the result.  Building brain fitness is a fun and engaging process that does not involve academic content.

There are 5 Brain Pillars, key cognitive abilities that form the foundation for all their learning

•  Attention & Memory
• Sensory Motor Coordination
• Auditory & Learning Processing
• Visual & Spatial Processing
• Social-Emotional Self-regulation

 This strong brain pillars would enhance the development of higher order skills

Computer Room

Gym

 

The first key step is to make an objective assessment of  my child’s brain fitness with CognitiveMap. It is an evaluation tool that determines which of my child’s 5 brain pillars need enhancement It also acts as a before snapshot for pre and post programme comparison. With cognitiveMap, they make recommendations and  design a programme that best meet my child’s unique needs.

Here is one of the test that BrainFit Studio conduct to test the attention/focus

Big Boy Jumbo Hotdog in my Home

I always go to the supermarket with my son EJ during the weekend. We do the grocery together, this is also my way to bond with him and to make sure that I got all what he needs during his school days. One of his favorite baon is the hotdog. During one of our visit, a free taste of a new hotdog was presented. EJ usually taste freebies that are present in supermarket, it’s our way of knowing new products in the market. After going back 6 times to the free taste station, I finally had it and had to buy the BIG BOY Hotdog that EJ keeps coming back. I usually buy the usual brand, but this time, it’s a different story. BIG BOY Hotdog made it to the counter and to our home.

Upon arriving, EJ immediately request that I cooked him some BIG BOY Hotdog for dinner. I was so curious why EJ so loved the taste, that I cooked two extra one for myself. Big Boy Hotdog is juicy and the cheese is noticeable. Since it’s a new brand I had to make some research if I had to continue patronizing it. I found out that the manufacturer of BIG BOY Hotdog came from one of the biggest company in the Philippines. Big Boy Hotdog is under the Robina Farms which is under the Universal Robina Corportion owned by JG Summit Holding Inc.

Big Boy Hotdog is made form the freshest meat with premium –quality standard.  Since Big Boy is available in Puregold Supermarket that is just a block away from our house, it seems that Big Boy Cheese Jumbo Hotdog will be a regular item in our table.  The price is affordable and true enough I just paid P163 for a 1 kilo pack.

 

Big Boy Hotdog may be new to me or to others but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying, especially if you too could taste it. Make sure that you grab yourself a pack when you visit your nearest supermarket the next time you go shopping.

My Day at the BlueWater Day Spa

I have always been searching for a place to unwind and feel the comfort away from stress. As a mother, it’s a dream and I have been longing to make it happen. All  I could think of is the high-priced counterpart of it but I fall short with my thoughts.

In my own little way, I replenish myself by going to the BlueWater Day Spa.  In most cases we always find the attendants accommodating despite the fact that we all look closely on the service’s affordability. These are usual services that as a paying customer we wish to get more than what we paid for. Going to  the BlueWater Day Spa appealed to me for a couple reasons; first, I find it relaxing yet nevertheless it’s a way to return back the favour to myself after a day’s work. As a mother, much is expected from me to do the household chores.  Second, would be on health reasons. I always look forward to see my son and daughters grow to be the person that they are ought to be. A moment in the BlueWater Day Spa makes those stresses away which somehow blocks the possibility of me being unwell. As much as I wanted to think of more ways, I was deeply drawn by an experience which I may say as a concrete reason why I wanted this blog to be read by everyone.

 It was an ordinary day with an unforgettable spa experience. The massage went well and  I was able to take pleasure in every caress. Inch by inch I could feel the tenderness of the recreation I long for. As it reached its end, the lady smiled back and said “MA’AM, YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT”. In response, I did over slept for 30 minutes and as I rise up and confront the manager for overstaying. The manager said “IT’S OK MA’AM, WE ALLOW OUR CUSTOMERS TO STAY AND TAKE TIME TO RELAX AFTER THE MASSAGE.”

BLUEWATER DAY SPA...........need I say more?
 I have been to numerous spa but I had never experience a moment like this, an hour massage with hours of relaxation. I experience a peaceful bliss and yet the rates are affordable.

MyFreeGas: A new way of advertising, my new way of earning

As a mom, I was always on a look-out for ways and means as to how to earn extra earnings that would help with our monthly expenses. Having five kids in the five is not an easy task; sending them to school and providing for their needs plus the everyday expenses take a large toll in our pocket.

I was lucky enough to be informed that even my vehicle could help in my finances. With the continuous rising of prices of gas and diesel, I view my car more in the expenditure side rather than an income generating business.  With my car, I was able to generate extra earnings in form of gas just by installing a sticker that promotes a brand of a company.

Working in a billboard advertising company a few years back, I know for a fact that the cost for advertising product cost a large amount of money. There are many process to follow and permits to acquire before a company could advertise their product in a billboard.

There are other ways to promote or advertise a certain brand, but it doesn’t guarantee the mileage and exposure that a company needs to be able to present their product to the market, MyFreeGas understand this dilemma. MyFreeGas is a marketing company that gives chance to vehicle owners like me to earn my way to free gas. MyFreeGas is the solution for companies to promote their brand in a limited budget.  MyFreeGas can assure that the mileage and exposure that a brand needs could be met.

Imagine if you have a brand that you want to promote or advertise. A certain vehicle will be in charge to carry your brand around metro and even better, outside metro. A minimum of 300 kms of mileage or more is the required exposure. The sticker will have a 20 x 3.5 size and will be installed in the rear bumper or windshield of the vehicle

As for us vehicle owners, we will earn P1000 worth of gas just by having a sticker in our car. I was assured that after a month after they installed the sticker, a Caltex Starcard will be issued. The sticker is made from vinyl; it will assure that no harm will come upon the finish of every vehicle. I had installed several stickers from the school of my children and it cost me, why not install a sticker that will let me earn a free gas.

Registration was easy, both for the advertiser and for vehicle owner's like me. There are just some information that was need to fill-up, so that both the advertiser and the profile of the owners can be matched.

There are now several companies that are benefiting from this campaign , one of them is Mcdonalds

I MISS MY Car

I was at a recent event last week with other bloggers. One of the business partners that had a booth was a company that deals with transportation. I just could not help thinking about my car; it’s a NISSAN SENTRA Limited Edition Super Touring 1996, with Plate No. ULT 547

I had just given birth to my 4^th child, and it has been a tradition that we should acquire a new vehicle to commemorate its birth. During that time, I have a construction business and at the same time a hardware store. The entire vehicle that we purchase had something to do with the business I hand. There’s a six wheeler truck, a four wheel, a dump truck, I even have a sidecar.

We consider purchasing the NISSAN SENTRA because first, it’s a limited edition. The car looks like a sports car. With four children back then, my Nissan Sentra was just perfect for us. With the knowledge that the brand goes with quality and performance, we didn’t hesitate to acquire this blue sporty look vehicle. I could also say it serve its purpose. My husband uses it also for business meeting. With the type of form it has, I could say, it got class.

Our Nissan Sentra was a witness for the many occasions that our family had. From meetings in the metro to the out of town trips in some of the beaches in Batangas. It’s our reliable partner during those long trips going to Mt. Makiling Los Banos when we accompany our children to their school. The high terrain that our car encounter is not an easy task to accomplish but it never let us down.

After 12 years, due to financial reason, I have to part with my Nissan Sentra. I just hope that the new owner appreciate the worth it possess. I just hope that we will meet again. My Nissan Sentra and Me
