Weekend Warrior: Expo Kid Year 5

Young and old, alike has such a blast at the recently concluded Expo Kid Year 5: The Ultimate Summer Activity Fair at 500 Shaw Events Place, Madaluyong. This year's theme was D.I.Y/Handicrafts. Mommy Mundo gave us parents creative and fun ideas on how to make our summer productive with the various featured activities, booths, and programs that sparks one's creativity and imagination- from DIY craft from Craft MNL to fun worksheets from JackenPoy.com.

Holistic Parenting: A Healthy Child is a Happy Child.

When it comes to protecting your child, how far would you go?

Last February 23, we were invited to Mommy Mundo's launching event called PLAY, a disease awareness raising campaign at the Playdium at Fun Ranch, Frontera Verde Pasig; along with 24 media moms and their children. PLAY stands for Protection, Love, and Activities for Young kids. It's about expressing your love for your child in a holistic approach-by providing your child with a happy and healthy environment.

How do you provide a happy environment for your child? By spending quality time with him through enriching and stimulating activities that promotes parent-child bonding. This is what the event taught us moms (and dad- hi, Marc!) through the fun activities they prepared for us. There was a parent and child amazing race/treasure hunt, a word scramble, and a puzzle game, among others.

A New Adventure

As you can clearly see, I have been lagging so much on my posts. The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind of adventures and (misadventures) that I haven't had enough time to sit down and write...well, I haven't really had time to even sit down!

Last January, I started working. Oh man, it is definitely a whole new wide wide world! I never thought shifting from an entrepreneur to an employee would feel any different. Boy, I was wrong! It was definitely challenging. I'm used to being the one barking orders (errr, embarrassing as it is but I'm admittedly an OC slave driver...well, just a bit!). Although I still give directives every now and then, I now have a boss to answer to.

Honestly, my first few weeks on the job felt like hell.

Philippine Red Cross: Run to Save Lives

Million Volunteer Run Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Million Volunteer Run 2?

The Million Volunteer Run is a fruit of a successful first-ever Million Volunteer Run last December 2011. The run was staged simultaneously in 78 cities of the Philippines with a nationwide total of over 400,000 participating runners. With the incredible impact it has created in the recruitment of volunteers for the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), we have now declared it an annual event, thus, the Million Volunteer 2 will take place on February 10, 2013.

What is the goal of the run?

Our goal is to train all our volunteers as humanitarian soldiers when disaster strikes. In line with this effort to build the nation's capacity to cope with life-threatening emergencies, the funds will be raised for the Red Cross 143 Volunteers Training Program on disaster management, equipping the Filipino communities with life-saving tools. The Philippine Red Cross is completing its extensive network of one million volunteers in order to deliver our services effectively and successfully through this run.
