Ang Huling El Bimbo, A Tale of Friendship, Tragedy and Love, Interweaved Through Songs

Kamukha mo si Paraluman
Nung tayo ay bata pa
At ang galing galing mong sumayaw
Mapa boogie man o cha cha
Ngunit ang paborito
Ay ang pagsayaw mo ng El Bimbo
Nakakaindak, nakakaaliw
Nakakatindig balahibo...

Went home a little late last night with my husband, eyes bloodshot, tried as much to subdue my emotions and forbade myself to well up, with the ever present lump on my throat, I rested on the truth that others felt the same as seeing them touch their faces, as if trying to hide the same sentiments.

DisneyLife by Globe: Bringing Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars in One App

Just like many Baby Boomers, and Gen X, I grew up with Disney cartoons.  It's loved and watched by trillions of children worldwide.  It made the world less stressful, fun and creative! In fact, Generations Y and Z also is not an exemption to this craze.  Until now, I'm still mesmerized with the Disney princesses movies and have continued to love animations made outside it, such as Pixar.

Before May ended, Globe made another mark in the fun digital world. Globe Telecom, together with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, introduced DisneyLife: The World of Disney in One App.

Artsy Easter at Buddha Bar

April 1, Easter Sunday, probably one of the days when traveling or taking a cab from our place to Kalayaan Ave., in Makati was a breeze.

It is probably the last Easter kiddie party or event my youngest daughter would have attended.

Buddha Bar was kind enough to invite us to their Easter event where families with kids gathered to savor a buffet spread made only for that day and made sure the place was welcoming enough for the kids.

Endless Possibilities of Celebrating with Feliz Dish & Details

Throwing a festive fete can be exasperating, but when managed properly and a little help from creative people who walk the talk, having one can be so rewarding and fun.

Parties are getting more and more novel, and Pinterest can be of help or could add to the confusion.  Whether you want to go with the trend or just have it simple, your event, intimate or grand, can be memorable and worth the effort.

Last Saturday, I was able to attend the launch of Feliz Dish and Details.  But prior to that, I received a wonderful invitation that came in this gorgeous little party in a box.

Mott's 100% Apple Juice and Peter Rabbit Equals One Exciting GIVEAWAY!

Beatrix Potter has created a character which children can easily relate to. The story is so simple yet seemed engaging enough for young kids.  We can all agree that nothing is as irresistible as something that is off-limits, and Peter Rabbit is no exception to this rule. Peter’s wayward behavior is in contrast to his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were well-behaved little bunnies.

One Day #WithoutShoes

Our life is such a helter-skelter even this summer, to-do lists are never-ending, of course, how can I ever forget to schedule dates with the hubs.

However, in the midst of all the busyness, it’s vastly important to take time to do activities together as a whole family. Common activities strengthen family bonds and build a strong foundation for nurturing, communicative, healthy relationships. Could there be a better way to nourish joy in our families?

So, here is one special day to do so but can be more meaningful in the sense that we all can get to reach out to other communities with the sole purpose.

 “One Day Without Shoes”, is happening on May 10, 2015 at West Gate Alabang.

The TOMS team everyone to join “One Day Without Shoes” for a GOAL:  IN ONE DAY, GIVE 100,000 NEW PAIRS OF SHOES TO CHILDREN IN 10 COUNTRIES.

Each year TOMS spend one day #withoutshoes to raise awareness for children’s health and education. The dream is that some day, all kids will have shoes. With our support on May 10, they'll be one step closer to improving the lives of 100,000 kids in 10 countries.  To date, TOMS Philippines has given more than 850,000 pairs from 2011— highest “give" in Asia.

Bring your family, friends, co-parents, and their children to  can join us on this day.  It would be a fun and great way to educate the children as well — to be aware of what other children go through, and how there are unconventional ways of helping them.
