Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

We all know, actually the whole world knows that Filipino are best when it comes to speaking in English. I was actually in an event that informs that there are ways and means to earn even though that we staying at home.  As a mother, we are known to do so many things just to get some extra cash on hand and I think 51talk is the best avenue for that. Just imagine working at the comfort of your hoe and yet earning big cash especially if you really put more time and effort. The best work for a work at home mom just like me And mine you, 51talk is not just for me but for everyone who is proficient in English, well since online is what in now a days, why not earn using online teaching. The main requirement is that you are good in English and that’s it, there is no age requirement.

For years now, Alaska has always support nutrition this year; they are at it once more by supporting the World Milk Day. World Milk Day is celebrated annually in many countries worldwide, providing an opportunity to focus attention on milk as a global food central to health and well-being across cultures and nations, and to highlight the contributions connected with milk and the overall dairy industry.  To celebrate this year, Alaska will have a running event with six categories: 100m and 1K for kids, 3K solo, 3K family, 5K solo and 10k solo. Alaska Family Run celebrates family bonding of going out and enjoying fun activities together like running.  It will also launch the Milk Hour (6am) in four different locations like Manila, Baguio, Cebu and Davao.  This activity aims to promote proper nutrition for kids.

Pizza, pizza, it seems like this is the only type of food that I have to taste whenever one of my children have something to celebration. Whatever the occasion maybe, birthday, graduation, New Year, Christmas, as in whatever that maybe, it was always the pizza that was the center of choices. I was getting tired of arguing with them, so I might as well just give in (imagine 5:1 ration) The good news now; I could now suggest a new place for them. I was able to attend the opening of Korea’s number 1 pizza,   Mr. Pizza. The DreamTeam during the opening of Mr. Pizza Mr. Pizza is an all-time popular gourmet pizza and I love watching them do the dough from scratch.  You will be mesmerized as to how fast they can do it.

A presenter of the color fun run where over 7,000 participants joined, Brother Philippines made the event even more exciting by introducing a special 6K category in the race, instead of the usual 5K race, and putting up a booth where runners are given premium items.

I may have five kids, but I’m not an expert when it comes to how to take care of them. It was actually a hit and miss times during those day. I don’t have a partner to talk to and if ever I need a professional advice, that means I need to shed some cash as well. I envy the moms of today because there are ways and means to get the best advice when it comes to their babies and this is free. Huggies Philippines launched the “Expert Panel,” a new online consultation tool to help guide new and experienced moms through their motherhood journey. Through its parent company, Kimberly-Clark Philippines, they partnered with the Perinatal Association of the Philippines (PAP) to create an online hub for moms to get direct access to helpful tips and advice on maternal and baby care.

It’s hooooooooooooot and the sun is literally burning my skin but I also know that it’s the time to have fun.   Summer is a state of mind, they say and Banana Peel adheres to that, making the most favorite of the two seasons in the Philippines an all-year round affair.  This year, the company that introduced the first flip flop concept store in the Philippines takes fun under the sun from the beaches, right here at the metro.  Last May 16 and 17, Banana Peel invites flip flop lovers to enjoy the summer good vibes through its “Summer in the City” event at the UP Town Center.  This is Banana Peel’s way of thanking its customers for continuously supporting its products.  “Summer in the City is a way for us at Banana Peel to have an afternoon of good vibes, fun and treats with our customers.Just by presenting a receipt worth P300.00 from Banana Peel; I got to enjoy all the treats in the venue,

Its summer and I remember times when we used to go out of town in a snap just because there is nothing much to do and just spend crazy time with the kids. There are actually no plans when eve we go out, just “okey, let’s go out” theme. The only problem then was food, since it’s a just spur at a moment but there’s always the ever reliable drive thru. For the kids, there’s always the Jollibee (well, for the whole family actually) Before and today is no different since Jollibee is still part of family’s get together and the good news is ,to celebrate these many fun memories and bonding activities this time of the year , colorful summer-themed decals showing families enjoying the outdoors and having a great time now adorn  Jollibee stores across the country. Indeed, there’s no place quite like Jollibee that can turn these summer moments even more memorable and fun with favorite langhap-sarap treats like the Chickenjoy, Yumburgers, and Jolly Spaghetti.

It was a privilege to be able to see hottest and most popular hip hop performers here and abroad. NAUGHTY BY NATURE, YG, APL.DE.AP, DJ CASH MONEY, GLOC-9 AND ABRA were all present during the presscon which was held at Sofitel Hotel before the show at the Quirino Grandstand. Together with other media and bloggers, we got interview them one by one and took photos (because of time constrain, no selfie shots were allowed during the press con).

  Swim and run afterwards, well I can do (or am I kidding myself).  Alaska Aquathon 2015 is a test of endurance and agility, power of mind and body. Open to children 6 to 14 years old, Alaska IronKids Philippines is the local junior version of the international triathlon series, Ironman. Triathlon is a race that features three sporting events: running, swimming and biking. The competition is open to kids who are new to the sport and those who have already joined other triathlon events. But this is just Aquathon because it only involves, swimming and running. Alaska Ironkids aims to promote a well-balanced lifestyle for kids of today, who are used to staying indoors with TV, video game console and the Internet as companions. Ironkids is also the perfect venue for families to bond and for parents to demonstrate in “real-time” that being HEALTHY can also be fun.

After months of preparation, finally my long wait is over. To be able to find out who would be the able to join the alumni of Jr. NBA/Jr.WNBA was the climax of my whole coverage of the 2015 national search for the best young basketball players.  It was a nationwide search, to be able to gather all the best around the nation who are not just good players but team player as well is a something that the search should be proud of. To be able to join the long list of JrNBA/JrWNBA presented by Alaska is not just an overnight dream. There are so many preparation for this, and I saw how the children and their parents did what think should be the steps to do it and finally get that goal. Physical and emotional preparation and the spirit to not give up where the thing that I notice that each child possess as they auditioned for this training There were actually 50 boys and 24 girls who made it to the 2015 National Training camp which was held last Apr. 24-25 at the PICC Forum.

When my children are growing up, I always update myself with event and happening that I believe would be a good be wonderful for their self development.   After class, they go directly to their rehearsals or lesson for arts and music. My children take up lessons in playing the violin, piano and they have ballet class as well.   There are weekends where they also have art lesson with Fernando Sena in different parts of the Metro. These lessons came with a price and that is why I am always on a look out for sponsored events by company about workshop and camps for their other exposure.   They study hard that is why I also believe that they can play hard. These are the memories that I have with my children and that can never be forgotten.    This believes was also the vision of Friso.  Friso believes that these experiences are important for child's development. A healthy overall well-being is not only driven by mental, emotional and social-growth, b...
