Peso smart storybooks launched by Manulife

December 2, 2020 ·

There's no better way to teach children valuable life lessons - like saving money - than through the power of storytelling and book reading. Yes, even though most of today's kids would rather play on their gadgets, it is still up to us parents to guide them properly and mold their minds. Worth checking out are the recently published MANNY AND LIV and YAMAN BAYAN - two children's storybooks launched by Manulife Philippines as part of its award-winning Peso Smart financial literacy program, which teaches young students how to save, budget, and invest money ...

Turo homeschooling summit on July 31-August 1

July 22, 2020 ·

Now that online learning will be part of the New Normal, a lot of parents are still at a loss. They ask these questions: "how do I keep my child motivated and disciplined to finish school tasks? How do we divide the time and balance our schedule?" Teachers, on the other hand, will try to find answers to these questions: "How can I keep my students engaged throughout the lessons? What applications can I use to be more efficient?" These concerns will be tackled during the forthcoming TURO Online Summit for parents and teachers to be held on July 31-August 1. The ...

Learn More by Studying Abroad – Top 5 Universities in the UK

May 31, 2016 ·

After thirteen years of school, students just want to get out and experience the world at large. They are finally of an age where they can be on their own and so many take a gap year off studies to get out and about before buckling back down again to their academic lifestyle. Instead of taking that year off your studies, have you thought about attending university abroad? The UK provides the perfect way to see and experience some of the world, just a ferry ride across the channel from the European continent, and the best part of all is that you will not need to ...

Preparing for your kid’s education 10 years ahead

September 8, 2015 ·

As a responsible parent, I've always believed in preparing for the future. Over the years, I've made it a point to set aside a portion of my income for a variety of insurance products that will ensure my children have something to hang on to in case something untimely or unfortunate happens to me. I do know of some people who don't believe in insurance, but am the opposite. Insurance policies aren't just good for preparing for the inevitable (like your mortality). You can get one for health, pension, retirement or purely for investment. I love that even if nothing ... Continue Reading...

Darwin International School, Bulacan: studying with the Top 3 colleges in mind

January 17, 2011 ·

Darwin International School is the reason why I want to pack up my three school-age kids to Bulacan. Bulacan students should be oh-so-lucky :D Darwin is a relatively new school and started as a tutorial center in 2003. Even though it has "international school" attached to its name, the tuition is not crazy expensive (between 30-40 thousand pesos a year, if am not mistaken). But it certainly proves a lot in providing quality education to its students, judging from its graduates' high admission rates to the Top 3 universities in the country. For this year's ...

Instagram post 17910638044649185 Sometimes I miss the cuisine of Singapore and Malaysia. Am glad there are restaurants in the city whenever I get intense #Asianfood cravings. Roti Shop in Rockwell is one of them #notsponsored.

Over the weekend, I convinced my friend Maricel to try the cendol (iced dessert similar to halo-halo) and the #roti paratha with curry sauce. And of course, who doesn't love Hainanese chicken rice and white coffee? 💯💕😋

If there's a member of my family who stayed the most time indoors during this #lockdown, it's my youngest Lucia. It's good she hasn't complained at all. When talking to her, am glad she only has the nicest recollection of our last trip a year ago in Taiwan. We went ahead with our flight even though there was already fear of the virus then.

My daughter is a picky eater, but I noticed when traveling, she is more adventurous with food. We  always have fun going through our Taiwan photo album and recalling the nice hostel we stayed in, the perfectly crunchy fried chicken and all those #memories. It certainly helps tide me through the sadness of the present

Instagram post 17895511516880950 Google reminded me today about the #Taiwan trip with my darling daughter on Feb. 26, 2020.

I swear I normally don't wear mini skirts (especially at this age 😃). But I guess it's true that people do things they don't usually do.... when #traveling ✈️🏯⛩️ We have to look special for our #ootd

P.S. I get sentimental looking at my #travel photos **sniff

Instagram post 17905285330725685 We all know that we should practice proper hand hygiene to avoid getting sick. I have been doing this whenever I go out for errands. Thankfully, I have been healthy and not sick for a single day.  This only means that we really need to make handwashing a part of our lifestyle in the new normal, along with constant disinfection, wearing face masks and face shields and following social distancing protocols in common public areas.

Am glad there is a brand like Green Cross with a complete line of products to keep bacteria and viruses away. I always have #CleanHandsWithGreenCross anywhere I go. It's a good thing they have a handy alcohol and hand sanitizer which I always keep in my bag. And the whole family uses Green Cross Germ-Protection Soap which not only kills 99.9% of germs but also smells so good!

Instagram post 17865750830357541 #life update: two of my kids are now living independently and as a result of a more compact family, we no longer depend on a maid. This is a dedication post to my oldest daughter Dionne for being the rock I can count on. She's taking on more responsibilities these days with nary a complaint. I make sure I treat her once a week like ordering something online or buying her favorite cake. This Sunday found us having a mini-picnic outside eating the Acqua Pazza I cooked (poached fish in wine) and drinking Welch's Sparkling Rose. Not as fancy as fine dining, but it's always the little things that matter 💗💜🍇🍒🍹🥤

Instagram post 18070230664260327 The ongoing pandemic has made moms like me more meticulous about our family's health and hygiene. Am not the OC type but even a non-OC like me resolved to be careful and take extra precautions 😯😄

Zonrox products can kill the COVID-19 virus that's why I made sure we stocked on their products. I have been using my newest supermarket discovery, Zonrox Multi Clean in disinfecting high-touch surfaces. I love its fresh, long-lasting scent! 💗

Then I have my usuals, Zonrox Bleach Original and Zonrox Colorsafe to make our #laundry super clean and disinfected! These are staple items in my pantry which I can't live without!

We #DisinfectWithZonrox because an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Let’s remember to always show our MALASAKIT to others because #TheVirusEndsWithUs!

Instagram post 18138136813149540 #ChineseNewYear is most felt here in Asia. Happy Year of the Ox to all my family, friends and business contacts 😊㊙️ Sharing this photo of the entrance to Manila's Chinatown. Existing since the 1500s, did you know this is the oldest #Chinatown in the world? It's always a delight to visit because of the #delicious food and bargain shopping finds 🧡 #Binondo #Ongpin #Manila #sinopinas #asia #philippines #culturetrip
Instagram post 17878741721126101 My son, my unico hijo, finally graduated from college (he was delayed by a year). You can just imagine how happy and relieved I was. For his birthday today, I slaved away in the kitchen to serve #homemade treats to the son and his friends. The highlight was the Aussie rib eye steak ordered from @sebastiansbutcherbox . I served it in  two ways - with marbled potatoes and over alfredo pasta. I thought I overcooked the meat  but it still turned out amazingly flavorful and tender. It made everyone's day definitely! 🥩♨️💯

Instagram post 17870382506215129 Moms like me have two main priorities right now: ensuring the health of our family and saving up for the "uncertain" future. Personally,  am always on the lookout for products that bring the most value for money, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. 

It's a good thing I discovered the new Champion by Energen. It's only 8 pesos per 35g pack and is fortified with essential vitamins, iodine, folic acid and calcium. It also has egg, which is a good source of protein.

My youngest Lucia loves its #delicious taste but as an adult, I dig it too because it tastes exactly like #hotchocolate 🍩🍫🥤🧡💯

Instagram post 17946028432426784 Do you appreciate being in your own country? I do. I love being in a tropical country where I don't have to work my arse off to pay high taxes. I do work so hard now to earn good money so I can afford state-of-the-art health insurance  and not  depend on a measly state pension.

Call me stupid for staying in good old #Pilipinas 🇵🇭💗However, migrating just to be an "ordinary worker" somewhere else may no longer be applicable in this borderless world. Am not saying NO to moving in the future, but it should be a place where I can fall in love with the culture, has cheap real estate and won't kill me with taxes left and right. Other countries in the #world are simply overrated 🌎✈️
