GLOBAL WELLNESS DAY 2016

Exactly a week after my first 32K race in Run United 2 2016 at SM MOA, I was invited by blogger friend Joy Mendiola of occasionsofjoy.com to join an event in celebrating the Global Wellness Day. Joy and I have been blogger friends for almost four years but never got the chance to meet because of our busy schedules. I did not think twice in accepting her invitation because that would mean we will finally get to meet in person plus we get to...

Fiber Up to Beat Hypertension

I first heard the word hypertension from a friend four years ago who has it and was taking maintenance meds . When she learned that she was two years older than I am, she got curious and asked me what maintenance I was taking. Since hypertension and maintenance medicine were alien words to me at that time, I told her that I only took Ferrous Sulfate. I felt a bit stupid when she corrected me that Multi Vitamins & Ferrous Sulfate were not...

SIDENY RAIN AND HER ROADS LESS TRAVELLED BY MANY

"If your daughter always leave the house and prefer to live outdoors for days, it might help her stay at home if you  let her join marathons." This was told to me by an old man on the upper most floor at the MMDA's office way back 2007 after I went to GMA 7 and asked help from the staff of Jessica Soho's show "Reunions." I could not recall what department I was at that time and completely forgotten the man's name. I just knew that...

SWEATING IT OUT AT THE COSMO MOVE IT EVENT IN BGC

I  went for a short run to Bonifacio Global City last night. My original plan was to join the Nike Running Club where I registered.  It usually take me 30 minutes to run from St. John Bosco Church to BGC, however last night my pace was a bit slower because some commuters prefered to walk due to the traffic. Since I was not familiar where the Nike Running Club was held, I arrived late and when I found out where they were training, the first...

List of Swimming Schools for Special Needs Kids in the Philippines

I have three kids with special needs. They are already in their teens but to me, they will always be kids at heart. They are active, stubborn & unconventional.

Though not one of them learned how to swim, I do plan on having them take swimming lessons in the future....

With that being said,...
