Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

How I miss the days when my children are at my side every time there is an occasion or event. It was a good thing that my son EJ  was able to join me as the recent World Milk Day 2015 sponsored by Alaska last May 31, 2015. The event was held at SM MOA Grounds. It was not just an ordinary event because it promotes health and bonding with the family as well. It was actually the 3 rd year of Alaska Milk Corporation in hosting this event. Gathering families once again to celebrate the benefits of having a healthy and active lifestyle through the run, the family runs.  

“Follow your dream” that is what I always tell my children. As a parent ,  I was there to support them all the way; no dream is big or small just as long as you have the heart to follow what you desire. This is what I felt when I saw a crowd of almost 3,000 young players from Benguet Province and nearby Pangasinan distinguished themselves at the Regional Selection Camp of the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Philippines 2015 presented by Alaska held at the St. Louis University Laboratory High School in this city, March 15, 2015. Together with their parents and coaches; they carry their dreams to be part of something they consider a big leap to their dream. Lining up as early as 8am; filling out forms; submitting their requirements and a heartful of hope that they could pass and achieve their dream; to be part of the region’s Jr. NBA representatives to the National Training Camp this coming April.

They train hard and they play hard; but in the end , only six (six) made it to the finals. It was always been a dream of a player to be included in Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA and Alaska made sure that they give everyone a chance.   Two (2) Jr. WNBA and four (4) Jr. NBA top players from more than 400 participants were named after the 2-day regional selection camp in Biñan, Laguna last weekend.    Pherl Gwyneth Savendano- 13 years old; Luisa Krizelle San Juan- 13 years old; Karl Georg Clauss -13 years old; John Ashley Los Bañez - 13 years old; Joshua Yvan Garing- 13 years old and Jalen Angelo Limon-13 yrs old. The top 50 boys and 24 girls will further showcase their skills during the National Training Camp on April 24 to 26 at PICC Forum Tent and SM Mall of Asia.

        Hailed by football enthusiasts as the “ Saviour of Philippine Football” , the Team Azkals has proven that Filipinos have so much to celebrate about the sport, as they play from one glory to another.           As of June 4, the Azkals had again set forth to take on a number of international challenges in the football arena. Starting with a win at a pitch in Hong Kong, they continue their journey to fulfilling the grandest achievement in the history of the sport – to compete against and level with the best football teams all over the world, as they carry the nation’s flag.         Perceived by its followers as the “beautiful sport”, playing football develops abilities that show agility, strength, speed, and grace – qualities that are inherent in the Azkals.   As the local interest for the game rapidly grows, young athletes are realizing that, like the countr...
