Jem's PHSA Graduation Day : With Honor Awardee

I still remember the day that Jem audition for her art (violin) at PHSA in Mt. Makiling. As mom, I can’t explain the feeling | (nervous, stress, happy) to see your daughter go through one of the most important time in her life. Jem started her violin lesson at the age of six at the St. Paul College Pasig. Back then, my only intention is for her to have an extra curricular activity. I never imagine that it will take her to something far more than that. She was entering grade six then and we are preparing for her audition when her former teacher have to leave and go on a tour concert. We were recommend to Awit Center, luckily located not farm from our residence. Teacher Ricky of gladly accepted us. I took just that summer and a few months before the audition, they were able to train Jem. The day came when we have to go all the way at the top of the Mt. Makiling. First thing when we got there is to register and wait for Jem’s number to be called. She passes the talent test and takes the written exam in the afternoon. Those who did not pass have to go home right away. Tears of joy and frustration were around me. After that day, we still have to wait a few months for the result. The scholarship is a nationwide search. We may pass the second screening but still there’s the deliberation to think of. Out of thousand of applicant, only 38 students are accepted and Jem’s one of them.

Now, after four years of struggle, hardship and being far home, Jem finally graduate. While her name is being called, I had to hold the tears that start to drop from my eyes.

Jem finally received her diploma and receive a high honor award with it. There are just some memories that you will never forget and this is one of them. Congratulation Jem, I pray that you continue to excel in whatever endeavor you pursue. I will always be here whenever you need me for as long as I live, you will always be my jewel

Move : Give a Child a Gift of Life

I was invited last march 22, 2011 at Shangri-La, Makati for an event which I believe should be supported by all us. Being a mom, there are times that I'm not financially capable to support the medical needs of my children. With this I understand that same feeling of the   members of the The Philippine Academy of Pediatric Pulmonologists (PAPP) in cooperation GlaxoSmithKline start a wonderful campaign They believe that the art of dance can do so much more than just   fun but help the needs of the children. With a total of 145 doctors, bloggers, parent and other participant who believe in this cause hosted by Ms. Mai Mai Davao dance its way for the one shot of vaccine for pneumonia donation.

According to the World Health Organization , infectious diseases caused bt Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium are the leading causes of deaths of children all over the world, with about 800,000 kids dying from pnuemococcal diseases.  1 out 3 children died from this disease, it's not something that we take seriously. I may not be a dancer, but i will sweat all day for a chance to give one child a chance to live. MOVE is a disease awareness campaign that we should support all the way

Facilitating this “fresh perspective” is the “Basta Pinas” website, soon to launch, which does not only contain destination ideas and how-to-get there information but also other people’s stories to inspire personalizing your own journeys. The site also assists in seeing the familiar setting in fresh ways with suggestions such as: visiting locations where a local film was shot, taking a photo every hundred steps, or visiting old school grounds.  The beauty of the Philippines through a different lens  is captured in the photography of campaign partner Chasing Light whose members’ photographs grace the official website and other communication collaterals.

GSM: ANG FLAVORITE NG BARKADA

I’m not an alcohol drinker, but it seems that my minds going to change, with the launching of FLAVORS iParty last March 25, 2011. GSM Flavors is bound to generate buzz and cement its place with the hard liquor market.  It’s my first time to experience an  event that set the Flavors iParty  Lifestyle trend, There’s a  games for the whole barkada  like the kwentong lasing, where we had to make a story out of the words that we picked or assigned to us like barkada, flavorites, butete, salagubang and others. There were fun activities like jamming with some friends, doing the drums which I like the most. We feasted on the yummiest pulutan and moderately enjoyed the sweet smooth taste of GSM Flavors.  I absolutely recommend the apple flavor mix with lime and sprite, didn’t event taste any alcohol.

My favorite mix, try it and you wont taste the alchohol
