I still have another blog that I need to work on, something more to do with fitness. Although I have projectprettyandfab.info to document my steps in getting back in shape and pre-pregnancy look, I have another blog that will be more focused in weight loss diet. I already have a first post up for drafting since I bought something for weight loss that I wanted to try. The only problem I have right now is the time to actually do it, since I have to be able to do all my online stuff while the little boy is asleep, otherwise, he’d see me with the laptop and he’ll throw a huge tantrum because he’d want his shows. The writing part is not that difficult. What’s tedious is the entire process of setting up, like picking a template, getting widgets and technorati profile and all. Hopefully, I find sometime to do all that real soon.

One of the perks I get from being a stay-at-home mom, is being able to watch TV. As for the shows that we normally don’t miss, on top of the list is Showtime of Channel 2, that airs from Mondays-Saturdays from 10:30am – 12nn. Vice Ganda’s witty remarks and sarcastic comments is one of the biggest reasons for the show’s top ratings. He’s the only judge that could not be voted out the by the public, which he likes to refer to as the “madlang people”. Read more…

This is perhaps out of season to write this article. But then again, having talked to a friend who recently came back to Manila after being employed in Boracay for almost a year, she’s able to experience pretty much everything Boracay has to offer. And I would just like to keep tab of those things, just in case I get the chance to come back to the island anytime soon. Here are some of them.

• Parasailing or parascending – a recreational activity that will surely delight bigger kids and adult alike. You get towed into a boat while you are on board a specially designed parachute. Be ready to spend roughly $50-$70, depends of course when you are in the island during the peak or off-peak season. Read more…

A not-so-fit Future?

It has often been said that our future lies in the children of our country.

But what kind of future is in store for us when Philippine Statistics show that approximately 8 million Filipino children are malnourished?

Various nutrition education programs during Nutrition Month have been implemented to underscore the importance of proper nutrition among schoolchildren.

To teach schoolchildren about nutrition is already something. But to revolutionize it into a nationwide interschool competition for them to learn is something else.

That is why Kraft Cheez Whiz, one of the most-loved cheese brands in the country in partnership with the Department of Education has come up with Palamantasan–the first interschool competition among grade school students nationwide in a quest for nutrition education.

Education is still the key

In line with the Department of Education’s thrust to enhance nutrition education in schools, Kraft Cheez Whiz chose to do a school-based program to further raise public consciousness.  “School is second to home where children learn basic lessons and values,” Alex Dan Tacderas, Category Manager for Cheese and Spoonables, Kraft Foods Philippines shares. “That is why we wanted to direct our cause and execute our program in schools–in both an enjoyable and educational way,” Tacderas adds.
