  December 13, 2012 marks another history on the Villar Foundation as they celebrate their 20th anniversary the foundation they are also opening their SIPAG Center to the public. I was one of those who are interested and excited to witness the inauguration when I learned about it during my visit in Villar Foundation in Las Pinas City (see my previous blog post her e ).

  Christmas is the season of giving and sharing and I believe one way of sharing the love of Christ is reaching out to those who are in need and the underprivileged.

  Mommies are you still doing the traditional soaking then hand-washing to your clothes? I used to do the same thing but now I let the detergent powder do the job leaving the dirty clothes soaked for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. That’s why I only use the most reliable detergent soap that doesn’t only removes stain and dirt but also gives a fresh scent.

  Filipino food such as the popular sinigang is one factor that adds to an OFW’s longing to get back to the country. OFWs miss our food especially during those cold winter nights. The flavors found in a warm pot of sinigang brings back fond memories with the family and the bond that can only be felt in the place they call home.

I still remember when we had to conduct health teachings in remote areas and communities as part of our community immersion. I saw underprivileged children, malnutrition and suffering from growth stunting. Few weeks ago I attended a short talk about Growth Stunting presented by Ceelin Plus  . The speakers explained the findings about growth stunting in our country. Did you know that our country ranks 2nd in Southeast Asia on growth stunting?

I moved to a  condominium in Makati sometime in April upon the request of my fiancé. I used to live in a spacious house  in Sta Maria, Bulacan with two bedrooms, a dining area, a kitchen and a veranda.   For a person who loves to buy furniture and home appliances definitely needs more space.  When I moved here in Makati, I also brought all my personal things including my big closet and my heavy wooden bed.  Now, can you just imagine the dilemma?
