School Ready Mommy!

not that I am going to school anytime soon.. but again this post will serve as a reminder to me, like my post on educational material stuff.

notebooks.. pencils.. crayons..

We tend to buy all those stuff weeks before the school year starts, right? I am sure some moms even bought terno bag and notebooks and pencils.. oh I guess when my 3rd son starts going to school.. it will be cars 2 everywhere! and Hello Kitty everywhere for the little girl.

And with the terno bag and notebooks and pencils and even lunch box, you think you’re all set for the coming school year? I thought I was! I though that was all I need.. and mid school year, I realized ekk! I did not even bought half of what my school boys need! So this blog post will serve as my check list.. you can use this too!

Let’s start with clothes.. you know, school years happens with Nutrition Month, Linggo ng Wika, United Nations, Halloween Party, English Month and so on.. It’s hard for a mom like me to look for costumes for the said occasions.. so next year, as I troop down to the bargain capital of the country, I will include this on my must buy school items:

Barong Tagalog and black pants for my 2 boys (or 3 as my 3rd son will be a pre schooler next year) > Ang esensya ng barong tagalog at black pants.. bow.
Filipino Costume, aside from Barong Tagalog
Costume for Halloween or yards of tela in case my creativity strikes in

Now the props!

sombrero for the nutrition month, complete with plastic fruits on top
posters and picture of national heroes/ pambansang sagisag
flags for United Nation
mask for Halloween party

For the projects:

family printed photos
child’s solo picture, printed (in different sizes, 1×1, 2×2 etc)
plastic envelope, brown envelop, folders
cartolina (different colors but more white) / manila paper / card board
maps
magazines (now I should attend more events on summer and will require PRs to include magazines on the loot bag LOL)
more art materials.. as in more na more

Yan lang muna but I’m sure, I’ll add more to this.. kailangan pati so mommy matuto at maging school ready!

Playing for Charity

When I attended the cleaning project at UP – PGH Cancer Institute, I was really moved.. I said to myself, I will make it a point to help them if not now, soon. Then I was given a chance to play for my chosen charity at 888ladies and without thinking I said yes!

888Ladies is on online bingo community that always give new players a warm welcome. There are many different games offered such as mega-jackpot games, mini games and a variety of bonus offers. Signing up was very easy, it did’n not even took me five minutes. Playing was fun! I just choose what game what I want to play and it opens in a new window. I did not have to wait long for my game to load. Of course, my favorite game was Bingo, a game I always loved since childhood. I think I spent more than 50% of my playing time in the bingo area. Playing at 888Ladies was easy! Other games I played were Irish Luck and bejeweled! I had so much fun playing those games.

What I like most about my playing experience is the fact that i can chat with other players as well. As I have mentioned above, 888ladies is a community, and it proved itself to me. Just like playing bingo offline where yo got to chat with your playmate, I had the same experience from 888Ladies.

Scotch-Brite™ Clean Up Project @ UP – PGH Cancer Institute

After the Clean Up Project at West Rembo Elementary School, Scotch-Brite™ once again, invited me to join their next Clean Up Project. It was held in UP- PGH, a place I was not familiar with. Trusting the PR agency and the Scotch-Brite™ team, I knew this will be as much fun ad fulfilling as the last cleaning project I attended.

As always, the PR agency provided a shuttle service (now that’s what good PR agency is all about!) fr us. Arriving at UP-PGH is so surreal.. You know feeling of too much emotions? That’s how exactly I felt on that place. The aura is too depressing and I am glad Scotch-Brite™ chose this place for their clean up project. A little sweeping and sanitation here and there can make a big difference.

The Cancer Institute was closed during the clean up project. Part of the project was the donation of brand new Scotch-Brite™ cleaning tools courtesy of 3M Philippines to help the cancer facility sustain its maintenance and cleanliness policies and practices. The donated cleaning tools included outdoor gloves, furniture cloth, mops, mop wringer bucket, among many others.

“We at 3M are committed to help provide people with cleaner, brighter environments. We believe that the best way to achieve this is to give them efficient and high-quality cleaning tools that our Scotch-Brite™ brand is known for. Helping the staff of the UP-PGH Cancer Institute implement their regular general cleaning is a great opportunity for us and our employees to see this commitment through,” said Darwin Florendo, Home Care Division Head of 3M Philippines.
