Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

Sometime during the last week of April, I attended an album-launching event of a new band, presented by Sony Music in cooperation with Nescafè and G.A. Yupangco & Co. Inc. at Club Phi in Metrowalk. Speaking of Nescafè, does pairing it with “Soundskool” ring a bell? I hope it did, because these guys’ most notable victory is their win in the 2010 Nescafe 3-in-1 Soundskool college band search. You know, in the commercial where a band is playing, and sometime near the end, the word “Soundskool” and some other words appear in scribbled letters, that’s the one. Their album launch that I attended was actually for their debut album “Undefined.” Their sound was something different from what we would usually listen to. While listening to their songs, one could say that their music is like a square peg in a round hole, considering that their music does not go with today’s trends. Though if I may add, it actually makes them stick out like a sore thumb, in a good way, that is. Their style of ...

Being a mom of five kids, I can relate myself to Judy Ann, as well as to every other mom out there who constantly concerns herself over keeping their food healthy without disregarding the aspect of taste. I already find myself fortunate enough that my children aren’t as picky with food as others, but having two of my children as ballet dancers, I usually have to watch the food that I prepare, such that it will coincide with their diet that requires them to maintain their weight. More than anything, I feel fortunate to have Del Monte Pineapples, my personal ally in securing my children’s interests, health wise and taste wise. My kids have recently become addicted to Del Monte Pineapples. They ate Pininyahang manok, adobo, they basically ate everything with them. They even pick on Del Monte Pineapple Tidbits to snack on! I have approved of their constant intake because I was well-aware that it is beneficial to their health, but it is only much more recently that I have learned of the ...

A few months back, I attended an event back in Rockwell Powerplant Mall. One of the highlights of this show was a performance from a band. The music was excellent and the performance was remarkable. Back then, I got a gut feeling that the band would go a long way. I got to meet their vocalist personally afterwards, and with a handshake and some small talk, a commemorative photo completely slipped my mind. The months fast forward to just recently, where I learned that he has rose to fame, just as I thought he would. Julien Drolon is a singer, songwriter, and former International Reporter and a promoter of peace through his love for music. He first arrived in the Philippines last 2007 and came back at the end of 2009 and decided to start his musical career. This French singer with a Pinoy heart describe his music style as feel good music which combines pop, reggae, funk, and rock. He considers Jason Mraz , Bob Marley , Jamiroquai , Donovan Frankenreiter , Patrice and Asa as his mus...

I have four daughters that are so concerned with what they eat. . What I don’t understand is why they love to eat chocolates. When it comes to chocolates, “no question asks” is the drama. Whenever there’s a performance, I have to make sure that I have a chocolate bar with me. When they are down, chocolate bar is the upper. I was invited last week in an event and was lucky to be able to take home some chocolates. True enough, no time was wasted and the chocolates are gone.  I love chocolates, everybody loves chocolates. I was so curious about what chocolate can do to our body, that I sat and research the night away. I found a link and hope you find time to read it. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/12/20/health.chocolate/index.html And  one more thing, I never thought that eating chocolates can also gives you a chance to win several items.
