I now have 2 grown up children and no longer kids but are now teenagers! An 18 years old gal and 16 years old son. One of the things I missed doing things for them is taking them to a shopping without them imposing on me what they like and don’t like. Haha!
Now they have their own taste and preferences in clothing. They no longer like mismatching color outfits nor like to to be in jumper and of course, onesies! I used to love to be in the baby clothing store in the mall and spend few hours looking a round for those little shirts, shorts, dresses and buying costumes even if I don’t know the theme yet. Any mommies out there that can relate, raise your hand! 🙂
Those were the good days! But there are still time that I go and search for kids clothing store online when I have to buy them as gifts for friend’s kids and relatives on special occasions and important events like birthdays, baptism, Christmas, new year’s, etc. I believe that buying kids clothing will never cease as part of our lives.
I am looking around now for baby & kids hats for a friend’s daughter and son who will both turn 2. Yes, they are twins! How lucky parents and lovely surprise for a big growing family to have twins!
I am eyeing on these different types of hats perfect for kids! I wanted to buy these instead of the usual clothing as this is perfect accessories that would match up their dresses and can be used in different weathers.
They can go casuals on the pattern hat. The bucket is perfect on a sunny or fishing activity for their family and the knitted ones for the cold season.

I love how this shop offer different kinds of kid’s clothing and accessories. A one stop shop of everything you need.

Rex Education hosted a press conference recently, bringing together key organizations committed to educating people about piracy and stopping the illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content.
(L to R) Jesus Manapat – National Bureau of Investigation, Stephen Floyd Abuso Gopez – Executive Vice president – Association of law students of the Philippines, Atty. Rowel Barba – Director – Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, Dean Lilibeth Aragon – President – association of administrators in Hospitality, hotel and restaurant management educational institution and Atty. Dominador Buhain – Chairman Rex Education
Present at the event were leaders and representatives from the Philippine Association of Law Schools, the Association of Law Students of the Philippines, , the Legal Education Board, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, the National Book Development Board, the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines, the National Bureau of Investigation, Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institution, the Philippine Librarians Association, the Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business, the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, Philippine Association for Teachers and Educators, Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines, Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities and the Philippine Educational Measurement and Evaluation Association.
Piracy is defined as the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content, including but not limited to books, movies, music, and the like. In the Philippines, anti-piracy legislation is strengthened by Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines that protects and secures the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations.
The press conference is a part of REX’s anti-piracy campaign, which was launched last September 16, 2022 at the Manila International Book Fair. The primary objective of the campaign is to curb, if not eradicate, content piracy by educating, communicating, and instilling among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. REX’s efforts in this direction are also in recognition and support of the relentless hard work of intellectual property law enforcement agencies in the country.
“We should continue to educate, communicate, and instill among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. In this sense, we are all duty-bearers. But above that, we are Filipinos,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education. “ Aside from our laws, what also binds us are our values, our sense of pakikipagkapwa, of pagpapakatao, our pride in our own work, and our respect for each other and of each other’s work.”
Over the past year, the campaign has gained the attention of various organizations with similar sentiments. Stakeholders from the education sector, along with consumers and learners, have all come together to express their support for the movement. Above all, there is a call to protect creators and all their intellectual property in all its forms.
“Throughout our rich history, we recognize and respect one truth about what we do: We are able to accomplish so much because of our people. REX has immense pride for the talented and hardworking individuals who pour their creativity, knowledge, and skills in the development of our learning materials, and these are not limited to books,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education.
Now that we are slowly getting back face to face from our old and usual routines since the pandemic. It’s now time to go back onsite and say goodbye to working from home. Bid goodbye with Google and Zoom meetings. It means seeing your colleagues physically, time to get back with those busy meetings, coordinating and be physically present once again.
Start to reorganize your outfit and checkout if those old clothes still fit! Or is it time to get new ones as you need to size up?! Now, you have an important event coming up that would require you to wear a semi formal to formal clothes. However, you don’t feel confident with those bulging and excess skin showing off that you got from being stuck at home for more than 2 years of no physical exercise, binge eating and trying out those cooking sessions you watch online during your breaktime 🙂
The best and easiest way to shape up without going through drastic diet is to look for shapewear dress. This way, you don’t have to worry as going on a diet will definitely took sometime for it to take effect. Love that shapewear is now paving its way to boost confidence and give your body that flattering and curve instantly.
Women used to hide those flabs by wearing clothes that are uncomfy, out of style and definitely pricey.
But look at the below nice shapewear clothing that is giving you that flattering and curve shaped body. It snugs yet stretchy fit but definitely still comfortable to wear

But with shapewear, it has been incorporated the technology that makes it contour your shape perfectly and comfortable for you to wear over long hours without giving and issues. It also corrects your posture that is good for physical health and fitness. It is a good investment for you have pair or two to avoid future issues to give you that confident with your body.
I believe it would be an exciting Valentine’s Day celebration this time around as we’ve been all restricted going out for the past 2 Valentines occasion due to pandemic. I remember, just being at home for the past 2 years and just ordering food delivery to celebrate Valentines! Most of high school students have also missed the usual Valentine’s day party as they are only set to have the online class hence face to face class nor gathering and parties are not allowed. Now is the perfect time to update closet and empty out old clothing and time to replenish wardrobe with new sets of fresh and stylish outfits.
We all knew how fashion evolves and trends usually vary every year. The best way to keep up is to be always on the look. You can always check out social media platform via FB, IG, TikTok where everything’s just a tap away, you definitely knew what’s hot in the news. When it comes to outfit. I always go for the classics that never goes out of style, very easy to mix and match and most of all, it is not hard to find when shopping!
This coming Valentine’s special day is a perfect occasion to go on classics, most especially for ladies out there. I made a research on 3 outfit inspiration every gal can try out. Glad to find out the Bubledon Valentine’s Day Deals 2023. They got the wide variety of options to choose from. Ranging from simple, classy, casual and formal attires.
The first thing to consider when choosing what dress to wear is the comfort. Yes, it is essential you can move around freely, checkout the fabric, make sure also to note the area where you are going to so you know if you need to adjust on thickness, going sleeveless or long sleeves.
Color. Of course, red has always been the in color of the day. But some people don’t like red or simply they feel they it doesn’t compliment their skin tone and that is okay. Can go for loud color, neutral, basics or whatever that you know you can carry well.
Fit. depending upon your body shape, you can choose from either loose or body contouring shape dresses.

You can never go wrong in whichever style you want to carry on. The Midi above can be in between a semi formal to casual one. While the Bodycon Maxi Dress is on the casual one but still you can make it formal by adding up a pair of blazer and accessorize and choose another shoes aside from the usual sandals.
I hope you all get to enjoy your date this Valentines with your special someone or friends and family!
The holidays are always such a big eating season for everyone. It’s that one time of the year when we feel extra carefree about what we eat because seriously, have you really enjoyed Christmas without jumping from one banquet to another? But what if we tell you that you do not need to sacrifice healthy eating to enjoy the season? Even more, what if you find out that you can whip up your flavorful recipe in minutes in your own kitchen?
Breville’s Smart Oven Air Fryer should be on every Christmas wishlist of all home cooks out there. Versatile, easy to use, and very durable, this oven from the premium home brand can give you the best of both worlds in terms of flavor and ease of cooking as you cruise through the holidays.
One of the beauties of the Smart Oven Air Fryer is its ten cooking functions that can let you make to-die-for crispy treats and scrumptious slow-cooked meals. Toast, bake, roast, grill, and of course air fry without any fuss while shortening your cooking time. Equipped with Dual Speed Convection, this kitchen partner speeds up the cooking process by raising hotter air while sinking colder one. The result: 30 percent reduced cooking time as compared to regular ovens and air fryers!
Richie Zamora, the vlogger behind The Pickiest Eater in the World makes a perfect case for this when he prepared a full spread of TV chow snacks for his family to enjoy in minutes. He shares, “All these amazing snacks were cooked in the air fryer with absolutely no oil. Everything was cooked to a beautiful crisp, but you don’t even realize that they aren’t deep fried.”
Let’s Eat Pare also showed how fast and easy it is to make restaurant-level fried crispy wings with Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. In just 20 minutes, they were able to make a big batch of chicken wings in sour cream flavor! You can check out their recipe here if you want to try their version.
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer
Of course, preparing healthier versions of dishes is another thing that makes this kitchen must- have from Breville essential. Air frying significantly reduces—if not totally removes—the use of oil in cooking, which means that you consume fewer calories and prevent weight gain and obesity when you air-fried food. Fortunately, for the Smart Oven Air Fryer, you don’t need to worry about sacrificing flavors just to go the healthier route. Chef Beng proves this when she made a Pinoy-style whole fried chicken using it.
“Normally, I will have this deep fried, but using an air fryer is apparently so much better as the chicken is amazingly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Not to mention, this is a way healthier process than deep frying.”
She also shares that she loves the precision with time and temperature that this Air Fryer provides. “Just press a function and it automatically shows how long and high the cooking process will be.” This is made possible by Breville’s patented Element IQ System which is a smart algorithm that decides the ideal cooking environment for a range of different cooking techniques.
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is definitely the kitchen partner to have this holiday season if you want to enjoy healthy, delicious meals minus the fuss. As Richie, Chef Beng, and Let’s Eat Pare say, respectively: “The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer proves that cooking doesn’t need to be greasy to be delicious, and preparing food with less guilt doesn’t mean less flavors either.” “It has 10 cooking functions which makes it a value-for-money purchase. I totally love it and I highly recommend this smart kitchen appliance.”

How’s life lately? I have been very busy with work (from home) lately. I don’t really get the chance to go out for leisure activities. The only reason why I go out for the past months is only to run important errands, that’s on top of my list. We do groceries at least twice a month and go to drugstore to buy DH’s maintenance medicines and also bring our baby pet dog Aimee to her vet for check ups and scheduled grooming session every 3 months. Also some quick visit to my son’s school for meeting. The only leisure thing I do on the side is a quick mall shopping. Haha! Most of my purchases are made online!
Since Pandemic happened 2 years ago, most of activities we have are online! work and shopping 😉 School for the kids were online too! But they are now back to face to face classes and I can vouch how they have missed going out and interacting back again with their classmates and friends!
As for me, I have remained working from home (which I am so thankful) and glad I no longer have to face traffic, no more braving the rain and floodwater. I can sulk at home and enjoy the rain while drinking a cup of coffee. No more walking sweaty under the heat of the sun when going home from work.
The only thing that I need to adjust to is getting a lot of physical activity even when I am just at home. I make sure to walk around the house, spend some time on stationary bike and go out once in awhile a walk and buy at a near store. Surprisingly, I am not bored even I stay most of the time at home. I guess that’s the introvert me speaking here. Haha!
Since holiday is just around, our work is getting a bit of a stress lately dealing with lots of emails and chats enquiries! Going overtime at some point to keep up with customers demand. So how do I destress and break free from getting burnout? I do play online games after work and free time since I no longer enjoy going out much lately!
I am not so into mobile legends and the like type of online gamer. I just want to play feel good simple online games! I have came across this site Mortgage Calculator gaming section that offers free online games for kids, online, business, finance, etc. I enjoyed playing most of the games as they offer different kinds that are easy to play and won’t add up stress while you play. Just keeping you cool. A great online pastime game indeed.
I enjoyed this Office Hurdles game. But I kept stumbling down and cannot calculate the spacing better. Hahaha
Here’s how to play
Left click to jump over wet spots on the floor.
You score points based on how far you run.
Time your jump perfectly to score 10 bonus points. Make multiple perfect jumps in a row and activate a score multiplier where the second jump is worth 20, the third is worth 30, and so on.
First time trying and didn’t realise you have the option to change player as a man and woman. The aim is to not jump on those hurdles.
I am not good at focusing and calculating when to jump up. Haha! But I get to have 85 for my best scores before I totally passed out over there.
Another game I enjoyed is the Coffee Shop, is a one-month simulation game where players adjust game settings to earn as much as they can from running a coffee shop. I like that you get to really feel running and managing your own coffee business virtually!
You get to manage the stocks, inventory, pricing, etc.
Very nice for the kids and young at heart to get a good grasp of how a business works like you being the boss and runs your own coffee shop!
Simple things like paying online games definitely helps out to ease those boredom and I get to feel sane again as I get to enjoy playing these virtual games and gives me a break from working online seriously.
One of the most important document that we needed in our our life is our Live Birth Certificate.
Back in the day, I remember having an old copy of my birth certificate. See below the copy issued from a local city registrar. As you can see, the quality is not secured as it is just from a photo copy machine with a regular bond paper and rubber stamped with signature for the certification which is very easy to forge.
Certificate of Live Birth Issued by Local Civil Registrar
I also had to line up and go from a different window and then wait for another couple of days for the release of the copy. Glad that those days were over and glad we now have one government agency, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that regulates and serves as the central statistical authority of the Philippine government on primary data collection. Securing a copy of birth certificate is essential as it is mostly needed in many legal transactions like getting a passport, requirement in enrolling in school or even for some in job application (local and abroad) When it is your first time to apply for a Philippine passport, they will require you to submit an original copy of PSA issued birth certificate.
Since we had an issue with my daughter’s birth certificate, we had to go back and for at the local city registrar in Manila City hall to fix her surname so she can carry her dad’s surname as per R.A 9255.
Getting a copy of birth certificate nowadays is no longer a hassle unlike before where you really have to exert too much effort by traveling, lining up and allotting most of your time physically.

Working with Philippine Business for Social Progress to provide preparedness tools to the community
Manila, Philippines – Mondelēz International, a snacks company with 59 years of heritage in the Philippines, recently launched a partnership with Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the municipality of San Miguel in Bohol province. This partnership aims to strengthen the preparedness of the community in facing and recovering from disasters such as typhoons.
It has often been said, Filipinos are amongst the most resilient people in the world. No matter the disaster, we can pick-up the pieces, survive, and rebuild again. However, there is only so much resilience one can withstand. Instead, communities must be like the mighty bamboo – able to face down the strongest winds without falling.
Mondelēz International is the maker of beloved snacks such as Tang, Eden cheese, Cheez Whiz, Oreo, Tiger, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and Toblerone. Its purpose is to empower people to snack right, with the right snack, for the right moment, and made the right way. The latter means making our snacks sustainably, using less resources and lessening the impact of our operations on the environment. This focus on sustainability also extends to its community involvement programs, such as this partnership with the PBSP. Established in 1970, PBSP is the largest business-led social development organization in the country committed to poverty reduction. PBSP has been at the forefront of advocating for stronger corporate citizenship with the aim of supporting inclusive national development.
Preparedness from Awareness
This partnership involves two areas: preparedness through early warning for typhoons, and tools for rebuilding homes that provide livelihood to skilled workers. When Typhoon Odette hit Visayas and Mindanao in late 2021, it caused so much destruction to houses, buildings, and unfortunately lives. It was seen that an important factor in lessening the impact of a disaster is the capacity of the community to prepare for such an event. After Typhoon Odette’s destruction, Mondelēz International and PBSP extended immediate relief to 600 families affected, in the areas of Ilog in Negros Occidental; Southern Cebu; Bubong in Lanao del Sur; Siargao in Surigao del Norte, and Roxas in Palawan.
San Miguel in Bohol was also affected by Typhoon Odette. To ensure that its 18 barangays are aware of incoming typhoons, the partnership will provide them with an early warning system, as well as 2-way radios for communicating to areas that are farther from the municipal center and might not have access to other media for information. These devices would help ensure that communities are aware of the incoming typhoon as well as any evacuation warnings from the government.
Building Livelihood
In addition to being aware of incoming typhoons, the communities will also be prepared to build back homes in the event of any destruction. The partnership will also provide 59 sets of carpentry tools which skilled workers in the community can use when making house repairs. These tools will be useful for restoring the housing units of the San Miguel constituency, and at the same time, provide and additional source of income for their skilled workers and laborers.
According to San Miguel Mayor Ian Gil G. Mendez, the partnership will provide great assistance and preparedness to their municipality. “Thank you for choosing the people of San Miguel, especially our volunteers who helped rebuild the municipality after we were struck by typhoon Odette last year,” he shared.
