Kids’ Christmas Wishlist

I need a new make up case.. I need a new bag.. I need a new this and that.. but of course, Christmas is not about me.. but the kids.. and though we planned on not buying gifts for them Christmas (they already got their playground!), I don’t think we can say no to the little girls’ wish..a Minnie Mouse stuff toy!

I asked the boys what they want and here it is:

and some coloring books.. while Chico wants a Mickey Mouse book 🙂

My husband on the other hand wants Mechado for Christmas.. oh where can I find sending food gifts online service that sends mechado in a flash? I still don’t have a light idea how to cook that dish.

Yellow Cab Pizza For My Brainy Boy

Before their Christmas Party, we learned that he was one of the students that will participate on MTAP* ( Math Teachers Association of the Philippines) challenge next year . I am not that familiar with MTAP but you know if it has anything to do with MATH, his dad is the proudest.. and as a treat, he got his favorite pizza! Yellow Cab’s New York Finest.

But, really it is a BIG deal for me.. during the first few months of the school year, the school invites students who are interested on attending the MTAP coaching (6 Saturdays), then on the last quarter of the year, only students with high grades on their Math subjects can join the 2nd coaching.. and then after 4 or 5 classes (coaching), they will take an exam and will determine who can join the challenge.. and he passed all those 🙂 to think he was absent twice on his classes.. yay! He really loves Math like his dad 🙂

And to celebrate this, let me give you a taste of our favorite Pizza! I will be giving away two Yellow Cab GC worth 500 PhP each. Just comment below why you love Pizza and what activity you enjoy most with Pizza 🙂

Commenting starts now and ends on December 31. I will draw winners on January 2 and will announce here. This is open to everyone as long as there’s a Yellow Cab near you 🙂 (international not included)

My mechanics is simple but I would really appreciate it if you can share this post on your wall or Like Make or Break on Facebook and Follow PEHPOT on twitter.

*In cooperation with the Math Teachers Association of the Philippines (MTAP) and the Department of Education (DepEd), Metrobank Foundation holds the Math Challenge to develop interest in Mathematics among elementary and high school students, to inculcate important mathematical concepts and proficiencies, and to further improve the mathematical skills of Filipinos. Substantial cash prizes and trophies await both contestants and coaches in this event. source

Where To Send Donations For Sendong Victims

“On Dec 17th, 2011, typhoon Sendong(Washi) dropped over 180mm of rain in less than 24 hours and caused severe flash flooding to the Northern Mindanao region of the Philippines. The cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro City were hit the worse and the area has suffered severe damage and human loss. 436 people have been claimed dead, hundreds more are missing, and nearly 100,000 filipinos have been displaced after the flood waters destroyed everything in it’s path during the late hours of the night. The city’s power & water supplies were shut down for nearly 24 hours and many filipinos need your help.”–http://www.sendongrelief.org/
