WIN FREE VITAMINS: A Champs Giveaway!
It's rainy season again. This is also the season for colds and flu. In fact, I've already noticed a lot of people around coughing and sneezing.  If adults started getting sick because of the changing weather, how much more your children?  Your children are prone to coughs and flu, not only because of the changing weather but also because of viruses and germs brought by adults. So give your child an extra protection from these diseases. Anything to keep them healthy to avoid colds, flu or throat and ear infections that seem to plague almost every household during this season. 

Did you know that there's a fun way in making your children take their vitamins without having to chase them around the house and force-feeding them their yucky tasting vitamins?


It is a fact that many children ( even adults)  don’t like swallowing pills but most dietary supplements and vitamins are needed to be taken orally to pass straight through the digestive system. Good thing there's Champ chewable vitamins for your kids with fun shapes and flavors that your kids will surely love!
Champs vitamins are very affordable and equally effective. That means you, mommies out there, won't have to spend a fortune on your children's vitamins.

For my review, I was given samples of the Champs vitamins line.  I have to try a sample of them myself and they really have a good taste.
Kids would love the taste of these yummy vitamins. I recommend keeping these out of reach of kids though, especially if they are not yet old enough to know the difference between vitamins and candy but little ones might not be so discriminating.

LAPTOP: Best Deals Around Town


LAPTOP: Best Deals Around Town

My name is Cha and I am a shopaholic. My twitter handle is girl_greenscarf and now you know the reason why :-)

I was recently browsing online to survey the most reliable laptop with value for money when I came across Save22.com.ph

Save22 turned out to be a great site. It raves about ongoing promotions and hot mall-wide sale, price slash-offs and other deals. Looking at those deals makes me wide eyed! It definitely triggers the shopaholic in me. Though I am fond on researching online, I don't buy online. Why? Because of credit card security issues plus nothing beats the feeling of touching an item before you pay for it .
At first, I was quite skeptical but when I tried looking for laptop deals on the save22 website, I was happy with the result.

I didn't expect to find anything special because you know how those online stores operate. They'll post something cheap one moment and when you blink your eyes, it is no longer available, leaving you with a heavy heart. 


I was so surprised when I got several results for my search at http://www.save22.com.ph:













Blessing in disguise.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Save22 is an ideal site where you can research leading retailers’ promotions and catalogues online before you go shopping offline. 

I am now a proud owner of an ASUS Vivobook:
 and Samsung Tablet 2.
 
Thanks for the heads up http://www.save22.com.ph !

PAMPANGA: KUMON Philippines' Education & Parenting Seminar (KPEPS) 2013


PAMPANGA: KUMON Philippines' Education & Parenting Seminar (KPEPS) 2013

I know that you, like all parents, would want to equip your children with everything possible to secure a promising future for them. And education such as one through the help of the KUMON Method is the best means to do it. 
The Kumon Method

The Kumon Method is an after-school math and reading learning method. It is an individualized learning method through which students start at a level where they can attain a perfect score by studying on their own and continue to study at their own pace. Through daily study of the Kumon worksheets, the students develop strong self-learning academic abilities and gain confidence that will help them in the classroom and in life.

How the Kumon Method came about

Did you know that the Kumon Method was developed because of the love of a parent for his son?

The late Chairman Toru Kumon developed the prototype of the Kumon Method in 1954 while he was a high school mathematics teacher. At that time, Toru Kumon's wife, Teiko, asked him to take a look at his eldest son Takeshi's second-grade arithmetic studies because she was not satisfied with the results of a test he had taken.
I was really fascinated with Kumon presentation of how the method came about. 


They've even shown handwritten learning materials on loose-leaf A5-sized paper created by high school mathematics teacher Toru Kumon for his son Takeshi.

Toru Kumon's aim was to create a collection of original problems that Takeshi would be able to complete progressively, on his own, allowing him to develop his skills gradually. After much trial and error, he produced a series of handwritten learning materials on loose-leaf A5-sized paper.

Focus on developing strong calculation skills

Mastering calculation is the key to progress to high school mathematics according to the Kumon founder.

The primary feature of these materials was the focus on developing strong calculation skills, enabling Takeshi to advance as quickly as possible through to high school mathematics. Based on his experience as a high school mathematics teacher, Toru Kumon was convinced that mastering calculation was the key to enabling his son to later apply other mathematical concepts.

Takeshi reached 11th grade level differential and integral calculus while still in 6th grade!

Starting with addition problems and rapidly progressing to high school mathematics

In July 1954, Takeshi started studying his father's handmade materials while he was in second grade. He began with addition problems and then progressed rapidly until he reached 11th grade level differential and integral calculus while he was in 6th grade!

Kumon believes that all children possess boundless potential.


Kumon believes that it is the responsibility of educators to uncover children's hidden potential.

During that time, Toru Kumon continued to create these learning materials on a daily basis. Through this process, the philosophy behind the Kumon Method emerged. That is, the optimum development of each individual's ability, irrespective of age or grade—the pursuit of potential. Toru Kumon believed that what was possible for one child was possible for others. Thus, he set out to offer to as many children as possible the opportunity to study with this method.

Have you ever wondered why the Kumon Logo has that thinking face inside? It connotes the many faces of children who learn, think and grow within KUMON Centers.

The Kumon blue color, on the other hand, represents intelligence, honesty and the sky that far stretches around the world. Moreover, the word is also an acronym of the following:
K - indness movement
U - nderstanding the child
M - astery of the basic skills
O - n their own
N - o two children are alike

Dr. Love
Dr. Love hosted the event.
Tadashi Nakatsuka (Kumon Philippines, Inc. President)  in the middle
For more than 15 years, Kumon Philippines, Inc. (Kumon) has been working hand in hand with parents in discovering their children’s potentials toward becoming successful in life. Through its Math and Reading Programs, Kumon seeks to develop the skills of each child and bring out the best in them, so that they gain the confidence to face the challenges of the future and to achieve their goals and dreams.
There is no limit to age, grade level or even abilities and that is why Kumon welcomes all types of students, from one who learns differently to one who claims he is a genius.

Kumon Philippines' Education & Parenting Seminar (KPEPS) 2013 was held around 1:30 PM last July 13, 2013 at the Cinema 6 of SM City Pampanga. Read more HERE.

Another movie showing is scheduled on August 3, 2013 at the Cinema 6 of SM City Iloilo, at around 1:30 PM.

Kumon hopes to be in partnership with you as it equips Filipino children for a better tomorrow. 

Did I mention that you only have to pay Php1,800 per subject per month for elementary students and Php1,950 per subject per month for high school students? Very affordable indeed. So what are you waiting for?

BAKIT HINDI KA CRUSH NG CRUSH MO?


BAKIT HINDI KA CRUSH NG CRUSH MO?
All of us passed this stage one way or another. If you can't relate, ikaw na! Even hunks like Xian Lim and Kean Cipriano plus pretty Kim Chiu admitted that they all passed this stage, the so called unrequited love.
Bakit nga ba hindi ka crush ng crush mo? (Why is it that your crush does not have a crush on you?)

Here are several possible answers from the author of the book (from where the title of the movie was adopted):
  1. Pangit ka sa paningin niya. ( You're ugly in the other person's' eyes.)
  2. Bakla siya o Tomboy siya, sorry dude hindi kayo talo. ( He is either gay or a tomboy so it's not you. It's the other person who has a problem.)
  3. Wala kang kotse. ( You don't have a car.)
The three stars shared that time in their lives when they asked this very question to themselves. Bakit nga ba hindi ka crush ng crush mo? Here you go:
Kim Chiu told us that she used to play all kinds of sports just to be with her crush and she would join him everywhere, be it in school, gym or wherever he said he'll be going, only to find out he's no longer there. Like for example her crush told her he will be playing basketball at the gym, she would insist she join him and watch him play only to find out he's no longer at the gym, the location he indicated.
Xian Lim related also that he was a bit nervous whenever he saw his crush. One day he bumped into her and because he was nervous he unintentionally shouted hello to her but still the girl ignored him.
Kean Cipriano relates that when he was still a kid, he had a crush on his playmate/ neighbor in his village. He said they had a date at the seesaw playground (so he thought ). One day while playing, he asked for a time out to fix his shoe lace, then when he looked up the little girl throw the ball straight to his face. Ha ha ha! That is when he realized she doesn't like him one bit.

YENG CONSTANTINO: Happy With Her First Boyfriend


YENG CONSTANTINO: Happy With Her First Boyfriend 


Pop-rock singer-songwriter Yeng Constantino is on Cloud Nine nowadays. Why? Because she now has a boyfriend!

Last June 18, 2013, Yeng Constantino officially entered the world of romantic relationship for the first time. Yeng admitted being a late bloomer.

Yes, folks! It is Yeng's first ever love relationship. Unkown to many, Yeng never had a boyfriend. She actually shared with us last February that she is a member of NBSB Club. NBSB stands for No Boyfriend Since Birth. 
Yeng never lacked suitors though, in and outside showbiz. But she never gave in until recently and patiently waited for her GG! GG doesn't stand for Galunggong but God's Gift.

For some reason, Yan made Yeng feel so secure. Yeng decided to end her long wait for a boyfriend last June 18, 2013. Yes, that's the day she and her non-showbiz guy officially became a couple. 

“Hindi ito something na pwede kong i-pinpoint. Ang alam ko lang, ngayon lang ako hindi natakot mag-commit,” Yeng quips.

Love has inspired her all the more to give her best in everything.

Lucky Guy.
The lucky guy is no other than worship director and soon to be pastor Victor ‘Yan’ Asuncion. Yen met Yan through a mutual friend last 2012 and hit it off right away. They lost touch for a while and reconnect recently when they decided to hang out again.

It turns out Cupid’s arrow found its mark on them for the first time. Yeng is also Yan’s first girlfriend.

Yeng felt so blessed. She relates that she God had showered her with HIS 
Blessings galore

“Iba ang feeling. Ang daming binigay ni God na blessings sa ‘kin,” she gushes.

Now, Yeng has amazed even herself at how focused she can be on the relationship.

She wants Yan to text her now and then and feels bad the first time he failed to do so (he has learned his lesson since): “Communication ang language namin.”

Yeng goes to his office at Victory Christian Fellowship Greenhills and puts chocolates on his desk. She plans to write a love song for him in her next album.

The 28-year-old Yan, courted Yeng the traditional way – by visiting her at home. That means he met and courted 
Yeng’s parents. Yeng enthused “Ang haba ng red hair ko!”

CHARICE PEMPENGCO'S NEW LOOK:No More Maverick and Daniel Padilla Look


CHARICE PEMPENGCO'S NEW LOOK:No More Maverick and Daniel Padilla Look
This is the all new hairdo and image of Charice Pempengco. The former "Glee" star said her new hairstyle and her revamped wardrobe go with the feel of her new album. Her creative team even had to brainstorm what hairdo would best fit her new image, Pempengco said.

"Basically 'yung album shoot bukas, dun na nila makikita kung sino talaga si Charice -- the wardrobe, the hair, lahat, 'yung posing. Do'n nila makikita, 'Ito pala talaga 'yung gusto niya matagal na.' Doon na lalabas sa album ko."


"Ginawa namin lahat -- nag-fitting, itong hair, 'yung black fingernails. Kumbaga all set na, pero lahat 'yun dumaan sa akin, in-approve, lahat 'yun," she said.
While her album's look is finalized, Pempengco shared she remains hard at work to finish its content. She said she is set to record three more tracks to complete her new record in time for its September release.

The 21-year-old singer, whose admission of being a lesbian made international headlines last month, underwent numerous steps to finalize her "make-over" for the release of her newest album.

"There are a couple of reasons [for the new look] -- una kasi tomorrow magkakaroon ng photo shoot para sa album ko, and second of all, siyempre since marami ding lumabas na comments na nako-compare kay Daniel Padilla, nako-compare sa ibang artists and everything," she said.

Padilla earlier addressed the comparison, saying it's been blown out of proportion. He also said he shouldn't be compared with Pempengco, citing her achievements and international success.

Pempengco, for her part, clarified Wednesday that her decision to change her hairstyle was not because she was offended by the comparison.

She said she also never intended to imitate the teen actor's hairstyle.

"Hindi [ako na-offend], syempre Daniel Padilla 'yan. Bad boy ng Pilipinas 'yan, eh. Kumbaga, nung narinig ko 'yun, nung first na nakita ko yung [comparison picture], sinearch ko, hindi ko akalain na ganun din pala 'yung hairstyle niya," Pempengco said.

Pempengco will fly to the United States before the album's launch.

"Kasi I have to go to Los Angeles to do a lot of meetings, and I have to go to Chicago to sing the national anthem, and then photoshoot, and then Germany, and I have to go back here by September to launch the new album," she said.

The singer has also plotted her career move beyond her upcoming album's release, saying she is also preparing to on her first-ever nationwide concert tour. "First time ko gagawin regional shows. Hindi ko pa nagagawa 'yun, so first time to para sa akin, I can't wait. Iikutin ko ang Pilipinas!"

BANANA AND POTATO SONG: Happy Tune

Banana and Potato Song by the Minions never fails to lift my spirit because of its funny lyrics and happy tune but I don't like the action of one of the minions when it knocked down another minion using a right hook. So, children, don't emulate the violent minion, okay?

Be happy!
