ParenTINtv Talk Series 3

Last Saturday, Sept 11, ParenTIN tv held it’s third talk, Guide To Investing Your Child’s Future. The talk was held in Henry Sy Auditorium at St Luke’s Fort Bonifacio. This is my first time to be here and I can say that the hotel er the hospital is so elegant.. yeah much like a hotel (forgot to take a photo of the lobby). The hospital’s facility were shown in a slide show.. but I wish, they had toured us around the hospital instead..

As mentioned above, the talk was about investment for our kids. There was a talk about bank savings and insurance. I was tempted to ask about car insurance rates but there was a sign in their booth that says, life insurance, so I guess, they would only discuss about life insurance. Yes, there’s a lot of booths.

Let me enumerate:

Au Lait Maternity and Nursing a one stop boutique for pregnant and breastfeeding mom. They carry the the brand Mothers En Vogue- Singapore’s leading breastfeeding fashion brand.

ProudMama is the store that introduced me to FUNKY FEET (not quite shoes). The store carries other products like nursing covers, Funkytubes Playsleeves, Tee Hee Playshirts (I’ll buy one for Sati as soon as one fits her), Bra Extenders and even crayon rolls (an apron designed to hold crayons and other arts and crafts stuff)

Mamaway’s Nursing Wear aims to help breastfeeding moms to look beautiful, confident and being comfortable at the same time. They offer a wide variety of stylish and fashionable nursing tops. They also offer maternity clothes that will make any pregnant mommy feels super sexy.

Triple PLus A, a store that offers chich and cute clothes for your toddlers.

Precious Herbal Pillow. A store that offers organic pillows that revolutionize the use of pillow and microwave. OK to give you a hint, the pillow is made of 100% natural grain, aromatic herbs and essential oils. Heat it in the microwave and use it to soothe an aching muscle.. I tried it and I can tell that it really does soothe.. and the smell of the pillows are very soothing too.

Bag Hooks And Clip Organizers. Along with the pillow, are bag hooks and clip organizers. Will post more about this on my fashion blog.

Other booths outside the audiroium are:

PS Bank booth where they offer free photos for every people who fill up their form.
Pru Life of UK where they offer pick a prize in exchange for the participant’s info.
Dona Maria premium quality brown rice where they gave free rice.
Off Lotion was also there to give some sample.

Inside the auditorium, we were welcomed by:

Galileo Enrichment Program. Their space where occupied by kids as expected as they offer a lot of activities for kids such as coloring.

Baby Magazine, a magazine that talks, what else, but babies.

Ainon Baby Products and yes the twin entertained us once again.. something that Sati found so amusing.

Baby Co. was there too and they give away a 15k worth of nursery stuffs like stroller, diapers..

Sulit Pinoy StreetBalls was the negosyo start up package that was given to the most numbered of referred attendees.

Ten Months Of Happiness

Can you imagine that? It has been ten months since I gave birth to her (OK ten months last Sept 8). The point is, time flies so fast, more than a year ago, I was this very pregnant mom who cried her heart out in SM Megamall’s bathroom upon knowing that it is indeed a girl. And now, this little girl is forever making us happy, her antics, her smile.. everything about her, we love so much.

At ten months, she can now stand alone for awhile (about a minute), she can clap her hands, blow a flying kiss. She also knows how to kiss mommy or her brothers or even Daddy. And she sure do knows how to wake us up by slapping our face. She waves bye bye whenever she see people leaving but hates it when his dad is in his Polo shirt. She’s ten months and she’s more adorable than ever. Oh, she got 4 teeth now!

Bye bye

flying kiss!

And who says she can’t eat ice cream on her day?

see how big her play pen is, even her brothers and their play mates can join her…

One morning, I woke up and she was not on my side. It’s a good thing that we only sleep on mattress, if not she would have fall on our bed. Oh there she was on my laptop table, pretending to be like Mommy. Maybe it a few more years, she will be taking over most of my blogs, or create one for herself.

She’s really getting bigger everyday..

Running Course

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 06:39 AM PDT

I know how to swim.. I know how to bike.. and hello, I know how to run.

what else is stopping me to be sporty and to fulfill my dream of joining a triathlon (except for money LOL).. motivation that is.

Aside from that, I don’t know where to start. I’m too big to be fit. I am clueless in everything. I thought I should start running.. but the only running history I have was way back high school when I joined the University’s sports fest. And that was 800 meters… METERS and not K. and I can’t even remember how long it took me to finish it, but hey, I finished 4th pr 5th haha..

So my initial plan is to condition myself by strengthening my cardio through aerakaebo. Maybe I’ll give myself a week to get used to doing something aside from blogging. And doing something that requires me to move.

Week 2. This time I’ll jog around our subdivision for 30 minutes for about a week.. and as the day goes, jogging will turn to running.

Week 3. Running time. Now comes the problem. how will I know the distance that I have been running? So maybe I’ll just use the subdivision blocks as my reference.. first week of running.. 3 (or more) blocks and forth… with timer of course…

Week 4. Increase run distance.. and increase run time.. and hopefully I can do at least 30 minutes of non stop running without catching my breathe (which according to my run guru is an efficient run)

Week 5. test myself by joining races.. yay!

I will try to document my journey in my health blog and I hope I will be successful on this one.
