What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

We Were SPOiLED!

I have been there, done that. Online shopping at its finest.. er, not so fine pala.. The thing is, you can’t fit the clothes, you can’t touch it. And of course the hassles of mailing. Although most people prefer online shopping, I still love shopping the traditional way. I am an avid online shopper if the store is in the US, come one, I cannot go there to do some traditional shopping no. If the store is located here, I really really (with PBB’s Ryan accent) want to feel the item first, smell it, touch it etc.. That is why when I first heard about Funky Feet, it took me some weeks before I finally decide on buying a set. Those were the days where FF is not available on the offline market yet.Now if you share the same sentiments as mine, this is our lucky day! There is actually IRL (in real life) store where you can feel, touch, smell and fit the mommy things (like FF and teehee shirts) you are planning to buy. And for mommies who are working, specially in Ortigas area, here is the reason why you should skip your lunch (aside from the diet thing LOL). It’s located in Escriva drive, the building in front of NEDA. And for sure, you’ll be spoiled in SPOILED! Store. Yup you read it right, the name of the store is SPOILED!

that’s Funfy telling us how the store was conceptualized..

According to Funfy, the owner of this store, she named it as such because she knows all moms wants to spoil their kids. Not in a bad way of course. We just want to give them everything, comfort and all. Now, all the products you can find in the store has been tested, or to put in mildly is a household name for the owner. Those are the products that has been her partner in her motherhood journey. Aside from that, SPOILED! STORE also carries MOTION WEAR clothing, a European clothes brand. the store also offers their own line of products such as Maternity Clothes, nursing dress and tops and diaper bags known for versatility.

To go there, take shaw boulevard and turn at Escriva drive (red ribbon/metrobank). Straight ahead until you reach NEDA, it’s the building in front of NEDA and you will spot SPOILED! STORE easily.

Product: How To Prevent Dengue

We know that there is no cure for dengue and though it can be easily treated, we mothers still don’t want our kids to suffer it. It can also be life threatening at times. As they always say, prevention is the best medicine. So how can we prevent the spread of dengue fever?
If there has been a news about people suffering from dengue in your area, now is the time to take action.

There are so many ways to protect our family from the mosquitoes carrying dengue fever. The Department of Health focuses on destroying the places where they lay eggs. You must take note that this mosquitoes does not like dirty water. They love water from your drum, oranywhere that is clean. If the water stock is already 2 days old, dispose it as it can be very optimal for dengue mosquitoes egg laying. So to protect your family from dengue fever, never stock up on water for more than 2 days and always remember to cover it.Another advise is to apply insect repellent to the body. Good thing that dengue carrying mosquitoes peak bite is only 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset, so that would 7 to 8 AM and 4 to 6 PM. Intense application of insect repellant should be observe during this time. Take note also that dengue carrying mosquitoes can only fly 1 meter above the ground and can fly as far as 200 yards. So if you have a second floor, maybe you can tell your kids to go upstair during the peak bite time.

Mosquito Patch are also gaining more and more popularity. These are patches that often contains citronella to shoo dengue carrying mosquitoes away. One example is MOSQUIPATCH.

Mosquipatch is an anti-mosquito patch that contains 100% natural citronella and eucalyptus oil. The two ingredients is known to be safe and effective in driving mosquitoes away. To use the patch, simply peel off protective film and attach the adhesive side to any external body part or a location close to the body such as socks, collar or hem. This can also be attached to bags, tables etc.

I attached mine to Sati’s playpen and one on my work station:

See the yellow round patch? that’s MOSQUIPATCH working. It’s effectiveness can last up to 72 hours. And I wouldn’t be writing about it if I hadn’t tried it. My work mode is usually disturbed by me constantly slapping my legs because of mosquitoes but since I used the patch, I don’t feel any mosquitoes dancing with my feet.

Where to buy Mosquito patch Mosquipatch?

MOSQUIPATCH is available through First Empire Product Innovation for only 180 Philippine Peso for a pack of 12 pcs. Call (02) 7224119 or (02) 7446191

Classroom Sitting Arrangement

I often wonder if classroom sitting arrangement can influence the performance of any child in school. Maybe not but most of the time, I think it will.

Sitting on the back of the class where in the teacher won’t see more of the kids can lead to the kids doing anything. I remember when I was in high school, I usually sit on the back so I can read pocketbooks LOL. Now, in way I regret it as I was not able to pay much attention when my teacher taught about acne and acne products that work. Or did she really talk about that stuff? See I am not even sure of it. But maybe since, acne was very rampant during my high school years. I am just lucky now that though our family names starts with P (and in most classroom sitting arrangement is alphabetically arranged), my son is seated in front since the teacher takes into consideration their height and his eye problem not to mention.
