Speaking of food, kitchen explorations, and shows, "Let's Eat" is the newest food lifestyle television show airing on Lifestlye Network hosted by our friend, the boss, Spanky Enriquez and Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi.
"Let's Eat," aired its first episode last week, with Street Foods as its first theme. Both of hosts were so engaging to watch because of the rawness of the comments and reviews of the highly-opinionated and very articulate hosts.

Preparing Kids For Emergencies
Wednesday, September 30, 2015Last July, we had a nationwide Earthquake Preparedness Drill which was executed successfully in schools, offices, and even barangay units. ...
Training adults, like you and me, is easy because we could read and comprehend emergency instructions, be updated with reports released on television and also on line. The challenge is how to teach emergency preparedness to members of the household especially our kids. I’ve listed some practical and creative tips to teach our children about emergencies which I learned from the talks I attended in the past.
- Communicate in a manner they will understand. – Don’t use too many jargons when explaining. Use simple words which they will understand.
- Role Play – My children learn faster when we do role playing or acting the part, like what happens in creative storytelling. Give a situation and explain what to do with actions, then let them simulate it.
- Memorize Emergency Numbers through Singing – Music is a big part of our family. I sing, the kids sing, and hubby plays the instrument for us. My kids are both auditory learners. They learn faster when they hear something, especially in a song. So singing the numbers will make them memorize the information faster.
- Teach how their toys could easily be replaced – Sometimes, kids tend to attach themselves to toys or gadgets and feel these are important to them. Tell them that in emergency situations, we have to leave these things and only carry important stuff with us, such as “GO Bags.”
- Prepare a GO Bag with them and show what it’s for – A GO Bag is something that you grab and go when in an emergency situation. It contains very important matters needed for survival. Explain what the contents are for as part of role playing or singing too.

I'm so excited to share that a few weeks ago, we were invited to attend Nike Philippines launching of the first ever Nike retail store dedicated to the athletic needs of Filipino children, at the newly opened Ayala Part Triangle BGC, Taguig, where the Nike Prodigy Young Athletes flagship store is located. Nike Prodigy Young Athletes retail store is not only a first in the country, but also a first in the whole of South East Asia.

Stress.
Happy Stress. Ngarag Stress. Excited Stress. These are the different levels of stress that I feel when wedding preparations are concerned. The anxieties, excitement, and pressures I feel go uphill and downhill. I don't know if this is normal, but based from brides I talked to it is. But their number one advice to me is "Just make sure you keep the stresses H-A-P-P-Y! You'll do fine. Enjoy it!"Big word(s).
Well, it's really easier said pala talaga than done. That's what I realize now. I may be a campaigns strategist who also handles events at work, but wedding is different. I'm sure most of you married women reading this would totally agree. Ako naman, while juggling my deliverables at work and home, and doing my duties to my slowed down blog (which I feel so sad about for not updating as frequently... ), I do all the research, contacting, negotiating, and scheduling of meetings with suppliers. My better half who's also busy with work would do his tasks as requested, (we all know guys could only do one thing at a time.)
So, which brings me to sharing with you some realizations and tips on Wedding Preparation:
- Set rules of engagement with better half. - Save yourself from arguments and pointing fingers when things go wrong (or even right) during your wedding day. Make sure you're all in this together,. It's not YOUR wedding alone, remember that. So a good guy fried of mine gave an advice to lay down cards with what you need and expect from each other during the preparation. There were general rules that we set like, no saying "Ikaw bahala." The decision to get this supplier or not OR to book this venue or not, should always be mutual. Tools: Constant loving communication with your husband-to-be and time.

We do all have duties and responsibilities at home and work, and if like me you have extra-curricular activities that you pursue because of your passion for that/those crafts.. then, chances are, you too get stressed out with expectations and deadlines to meet. Waaahh! So, if not the pamamalengke schedule ang task that you forgot to do, then it should be something else.. like the laundry?
