“How can you make brushing more fun for the family?” Part of our family's daily hygiene is making sure we keep our breath fresh and ...
Being a parent, we always want what's best for our kids.
Whenever I send my daughter off to daycare, I would plan a day ahead what she will bring for baon. I want what's healthy, filling and, of course, something she'd love.
Thankfully, Gardenia now offers Pocket Sandwiches. I don't have to rush myself cooking and preparing, like rushing to a guitar store center, especially on days I have so many house chores to do.
Gardenia Pocket Sandwich comes in two variants - Peanut Butter and Chocolate. And yep! She loves C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E!
A very special everyday routine for Caeli and I before sending her off to school and welcoming her back home is giving each other POWER #HUGs.
Whether it's bidding anyone 'safe travels' or getting your kids used to a special bonding routine -- a #PocketFullOf #hugs is always a good idea.
Best if coupled with Gardenia's Pocket Sandwich!
This pocket sandwich is high in Iron and folate which contributes to normal formation of red blood cells & hemoglobin; Vitamin B1 which helps release energy from proteins, fats & carbohydrates; it is also a source of Vitamin A which is essential for the function of the eyes.
YES! You can all have that in one sandwich and for only P15! Available in leading supermarkets.

A few weeks ago, were were thrilled to receive yet another FREE book from Lampara Books through Barternihan, a group of influencers willing to receive services and products without having to shell out money -- and in return, share their experience/s so other people will know.
The cover and the beautiful artwork incorporated to the tale was illustrated by Ariel Santillan, an illustrator and Art Director at an advertising agency.
There's also an English translation in each line of the book for those who appreciate English stories more.
As I was reading the story to my three-year-old daughter, I noticed that her father was also listening while playing his favorite NBA game on his phone.
My girl was so engrossed with the colorful pictures and the huge elephant. She was asking a lot of questions and terms that are new to her, like "Ano yung tubo, 'Nay?" when one of the men was describing the creature as a pipe.
As to the whole story, I'd give 4/5 stars. It is a very simple account yet provides a big moral for everyone, both kids and adult, a lesson that we can always contemplate onto and apply to our daily lives. Why? People can become too judgmental at times. We easily draw conclusions without looking at the whole picture. And this attitude affects everyone, even us and our loved ones. GOSSIP is a good example of this. We SHOULD NOT judge or decide quickly based on what we saw, heard or felt. We have to look into other details as well, because we may not know it, but there's more to it than what we already know.
I would personally recommend this book to not just the kids, but also for adults to look into. A good read, indeed.
The STORY:
Titled "Ang elepante at ang anim na bulag" (The elephant and the six blind men), this story originated in India. The account shows 6 blind men describing what an elephant is like by touching it. Each touched a different part of the animal, and focused on that part alone, such as the one who believed it is a length of rope, after feeling its tail. Eventually, they all got into a serious argument... |
The BOOK:
I learned that this book has been written in various versions. This one we have on hand was retold by Eugene Y. Evasco, a professor, writer, editor, translator and collector of children's books.The cover and the beautiful artwork incorporated to the tale was illustrated by Ariel Santillan, an illustrator and Art Director at an advertising agency.
There's also an English translation in each line of the book for those who appreciate English stories more.

Hello mga Mars! Mahilig ba ang mga kids niyong magbasa ng books? Naku, ang junakis ko super love niya mga stories. Dialog na niya bago matulog, "Ma, kwento Goldilocks."
Pero, 2 weeks ago, may nareceive kaming LIBRENG books galing kay Excel Dyquiangco. Sobrang excited ng aking Unica Hija, binuksan niya agad lalo na nung makita niya yung colorful cover ng I Don't Like To Eat.
Pagbukas namin sa libro, siyempre nagulat ako ng mga 20% kasi walang sentences, puro pictures. Pero keri lang, mabilis namang ma-gets ang story.
Simple lang ang istorya. May isang bata (since walang name, pinangalanan namin na Johnny) na ayaw kumain ng masustansiyang foodies. Puro chips, kendi, at mga junk foods lang ang gusto ichicha all day. Ayun, hindi natunawan at sumakit ang tiyan. Naisip niya na kumain ng apple hanggang sa unti-unting umokey pakiramdam niya. At dahil dun, nagdecide siyang never na kakain ng hindi healthy na foods.
As to my review, hmmm...Although magugustuhan siya ng kids, mas keri kung ipapabasa siya sa mga may edad na 6 pataas. Medyo nashock kasi ako sa illustration ng sakit ng tiyan---monster eh. Natakot ng slight si 3-year-old daughter ko. Pero after ilang days, pinaliwanag ko na lang na kamukha ni spongebob yung monster kasi yellow. Hehe. Woooh! Para-paraan.
As to the thought of the story, simple pero may kapit sa mga bata. Ngayon nga tuwing kakain kami, lagi sinasabi ng anak ko, "kain ako masustansiya ha". At kapag may nakikitang pagkain, lagi nagtatanong, "Masustansiya to, Ma?"
Mwah! Mwah! Pa-kiss nga, anak.You are soooo cute!!!! Lablablab!

Paano mo ipapaliwanag sa mga bata ang kahalagahan ng kalinisan? Sa creative na kwento! For sure, matututunan na nilang maging malinis, tataas pa grades nila sa School Card sa category na Cleanliness. Haha!
Anyhoo, nagpapasalamat kami kay Excel Dyquiangco sa pangalawang children's book na pinadala niya para sa aking anak, ang Lala Burara.
Ito kasing si Lala naku super messy sa bahay. 100 times na ata siyang sinabihan ng kanyang mother goose na maglinis pero waley.
Tinayuan na ng sariling kolonya ng daga at republika ng ipis yung kuwarto niya. Hanggang sa one afternoon paggising niya halaaaa puro baging everywhere. Gapang to the max ang ating bida at dun niya nakitang binalot ng monster plant ang Mommy niya. Then, bigla niya naalala yung science project niya na halaman.
Takbong super fast si Lala sa kwarto niya at doon, nakita niya ang monster plant slash science project. Bago pa siya mahablot, kinuha niya at hinablot sa ugat with her 101% super strength yung halaman.At siya'y nagwagi ng bonggang-bongga. Ang monster plant, deds na. At simula noon, palagi na siya naglilinis ng kwarto at bahay.
Gusto ni baby girl ko itong story na 'to. Ayaw niya daw matawag na 'burara' kaya kapag sinabihan siyang "pick up your toys" at "clean up", inaayos niya mga gamit niya. Although, again, tulad ng sa "I Don't Like To Eat", I would recommend na 8 y/o pataas ang readers. May monster kasi, baka matakot ang maliliit na kids.

May isang sobrang kyot kyot (cute) na bunny. Gusto niyang umalis sa poder ng kanyang nanay. Ang daming alam. Magiging fish, mountain climber, ibon, little boy, PATI BATO daw siya para lang hindi mahabol ni mother. Eh mas bright si Mama Rabbit, marami ring alam isagot, ang witty! Kaya ayun, napagod si little bunny, hindi na lang daw siya maglalayas.
I love this story, oo ako, more than si baby girl. Haha! It shows how a mother would do anything for her little one. Lablablab!
