Head on to the nearest SM mall near you to see the newest collection from SM Kids’ Fashion.. just a warning though.. everything is too cute not to buy! hahaha The last time I was there, I almost bought everything! But since I can’t do that, I managed to grab a few shirts for the boys and a few cute outfit for the princess.. look!

Sati adores her yellow top and wants to wear it every time While Chico loves his hooded muscle shirt.. and now they’re asking for more summer clothes! Even the bigger boys want a hooded muscle shirt.. oh well, summer is still a long way to go.. we’ll definitely buy a few more summer clothes from SM Kids’ Fashion.

Making History Subject More Fun

I heard my first born talking to his friend about school.. you know the usual stuff, how to take a nap during recess, favorite subjects as well as least favorite subject. As expected, his favorite subject is Math (that’s the hubby’s genes talking!) and his least favorite (more like the subject he hates the most) is History (Hekasi or Sibika). It was so cute hearing him and his friends talk about Lapu- Lapu, Magellan as if it is the most unusual topic on Earth. I cannot blame them as I find History a boring subject.. specially the terms used! Oh noes.. nose bleed! Mas malalim pa sa balong malalim ang mga Filipino words!

And so.. we will soon launch Project History! First mission this coming school year>> make History subject as much fun as I could!

Now, I am excited.. how can you make a boring subject spring up to life? Games? Artworks? Re-enactment? What else?

I guess, I will start with the Globe and maps. Come to think of it, we can make a good game of finding a country.. we can make contest out of that! How about a game of listing countries that starts with a certain letter? The most number of countries listed wins! ayayay! So many ideas!

But how about the dates? Whoa!! That’s another reason why I never liked History.. to many dates (and names) to memorize. Well, if the kids love reading comic books, well I guess, we;ll give History comic book a try. If I won’t be able to find one, I’ll just make one! Weeeeh Calling all the gods and goddess of creativity.. HELP!

Obviously, more that the kids, I am the one that needs to study about History.

How about you my dear readers? Have anything to share on how to make History subject more fun?

How To Know If A Child Is Cleared from Primary Complex

Primary Complex is a form of Tuberculosis in children. If the kids are exposed to an adult with a Tuberculosis, they might be infected too. Primary Complex is not contagious among children. A child diagnosed with PC can still play and socialize with other kids.

Primary Complex Symptoms includes weight loss, recurring coughs and sleepless nights. If you have seen some Signs that your kid is suffering from Primary Complex, better ask your pediatrician to evaluate your child.

The 3 Important Things You Need To Know About Primary Complex is that it is not contagious, it is a TB form in children and that it requires 6 months of taking Medicine for Primary Complex.

HRZ Pedia Kit was prescribe to us during the treatment.

One box of HRZ Pedia Kit contains:

One bottle of Isoniazid + Pyridoxine HCl (Comprilex^®) 200 mg/12 mg per 5 mL Syrup (Pediatric Dose)
One bottle of Rifampicin (Rimaped^®) 200 mg/5 mL Suspension
One bottle of Pyrazinamide (Zinaplex^®) 500 mg/5 mL Suspension

Trust me, it is cheaper to buy the kit than buy separate bottles. And because of Unilab’s TasteRiteTM Technology, the med tastes better. Trust me, we tried other PC med brand and the taste was awful!

During the course of treatment, you need to return to the pedia for check ups and evaluation. After the 6 months treatment, the pedia will evaluate if your child is cleared from Primary Complex.

According to our Pedia, an Xray or Skin Test after the 6 months treatment will still show that your child is positive from TB. The only way to know if your child is cleared from Primary Complex is clinical or direct observation of the patient. The pedia said that it will take two years before the lungs is cleared from the scar. You should observe your child if he is gaining weight and sleeps peacefully at night. Your pedia will be the one to diagnose if the child needs to be treated for another few months or if he is cleared from Primary Complex.
