Nickelodeon’s Takotown: Fright Express

Thursday, November 10, 2016

     Last October 31, Kenzo joined Nickelodeon's Halloween party at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall. Highlight of the event was the so called ride of our lives aboard the Takotown: Fright Express — a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience where over 4,000 fans were treated to an afternoon packed with frightfully-fun tricks and treats, surprises and activities.

     The perfect trick or treat activity for kids (and the young at heart), Nickelodeon’s Takotown: Fright Express turned a usually scary Halloween extravaganza into an epic celebration, the Nickelodeon way. And with the Spook Station’s unique and thematic areas, the haunted main attraction offered an unforgettable experience to families. Highlights of the event below :)

Cool Kids Wear Swag Junior

Tuesday, November 08, 2016

     What comes to your mind when you hear the word swag? It's an internet slang that became popular last year and is used to describe a type of style especially in outfits. I've seen photos on Instagram with the hashtag 'swag outfit' and that outfit is more of a street style to me. It's sporty and edgy at the same time.

      Last October, I was invited to the launch of the newest clothing brand for the lil boys and girls- Swag Junior. Swag Junior is a fashion street wear brand for the coolest kids in town. Designed to be a contemporary yet comfortable alternative to typical children’s fashion, Swag Junior's collections are inspired by one of the world’s most distinct fashion meccas, Japan. Mommies we have reason to celebrate, because Swag Junior has brought their one-of-a-kind aesthetic to Manila. Are you ready to see the collection and how cool a kid can be just by wearing Swag Junior? Read more below :)

     Cheska Garcia-Kramer, another Lysol Maxi Mom shared her secrets on how to acquire the habit of cleanliness. She demonstrated to us how to keep the entire house clean with Lysol. Her tips are the actual things she does in her own home. According to Cheska:
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
Cheska Garcia- Kramer
When you see a clean organized home almost always you can picture the type of individuals who lives in that home. You can imagine that their thoughts too are well put together. Nothing is more enjoyable than coming home to a clean organized home that exudes peace and tranquility. Happiness is Cleanliness -- a happy home is a clean home
     “Cleanliness and order are not matters of instinct; they are matters of education, and like most great things, you must cultivate a taste for them.” – Benjamin Disraeli 

     CLEANLINESS is an acquired habit. I agree to this because my father is a clean freak. When I was still young, he instilled in us the importance of cleanliness at home. I can still remember him writing our cleaning schedules and tasks in a small cartolina and hang it at the door entrance, kitchen counter, and in select corners of our house.
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
Cheska Garcia-Kramer on Cleanliness
     So how does one acquire the habit of cleanliness? Cheska defined the word habit first. Habit in simple definition is something that a person does in a regular repeated way. When you do this activity or action regularly, one develops or acquires what we call a habit. Then she revealed her 3-step process in forming a habit.
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
Cheska demonstrating how she organize her cleaning materials in a pail
Form Habits by the 3–Step Process: 

Step 1: Set a Reminder

     Ex. Place reminders behind sink/lavatory cabinet doors in every toilets & bathrooms of the house with cleaning instructions.

Step 2: Start with something easy to start

     Ex. For an easy start, provide cleaning materials needed for cleaning and disinfecting the T/B under the sink & lavatory cabinets.

Step 3: Reward yourself or family member/s

     Ex. Commend family members for keeping up with the good habit.
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
A. Begin by organizing your cleaning materials

  • Organize your cleaning materials in a pail 
  • Place each pail in their designated T/B, maybe under the sink 
  • Post a reminder on an inconspicuous spot in the T/B to clean the room everyday 

B. Organize the content of your pail

  • Medium-sized pail or bucket to contain disinfectants 
  • Disinfectant spray for the lavatory and mirror 
  • Toilet Bowl Cleaner 
  • Rag, Utility Sponge, Tile Brush 
  • Mop 

C. Keep a task chart to keep an eye on daily accomplishments

  • Check DAILY if the task is accomplished diligently 

D. Post reminder posters sanitizing the kitchen every after daily use

  • It is good practice that we keep a mop in a pail of water filled with disinfectant in a safe corner of the kitchen 

E. Keeping the living room clean

  • Mopping the whole house 3 x a day should be a habit that every household should acquire because nothing can compensate with a compromised health
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
     Last but not the least, Rica Peralejo-Bo enlightened us on how to have a CLEAN heart. Her topic is still on cleaning but focuses with the matters of the heart. Her talk was inspirational and her sharing bible verses gave me some realizations in life. “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:24) 
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
Rica Peralejo-Bo
A. What we put in our hearts

     “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45, ESV Bible)
Lysol Maxi Moms Event
Rica Peralejo-Bo
B. What we release from our hearts

1. Encouragement

     The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. (Proverbs 11:25, The Message Bible) "When you open doors for others, God will open doors for you." (Lisa Bevere)

2. Confessions

     Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. (James 5:15, The Message Bible)

3. Forgiveness

     “You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.” (C.Joybell.C)

4. Apology

     “Never forget the nine most important words of any family: I love you; You are beautiful; Please forgive me.” (H.Jackson Brown Jr.)

C. What we keep in our hearts

  • Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11, ESV Bible) 
  • “Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.” (Jonathan Kozol) 
  • “But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19)

Mountain Dew's DEWmocracy: Dew Blue Shock or Dew Live Wire?

Friday, August 26, 2016

     I rarely drink soda but when I do, I make sure that there's something unique with the flavor. I grew up drinking more water and juices and less to no soft drinks. BUT there are times that a new or unique flavor calls my name whenever I see them in grocery shelves. Just recently, two new flavors of the infamous Mountain Dew launched two flavors that will surely tickle your taste buds.
    
     Much like their iconic green bottle, Mountain Dew made another historic mark last August 12, 2016 as they launched the country’s first ever DEWmocracy. With two new and exciting flavors, #DewBlueShock and #DewLivewire, they are inviting you to take a stand and let your voice be heard! Highlights of the event and mechanics on how to vote for you favorite favor after the jump.

     If I'm going to choose, I'll chose Mountain Dew Live Wire. I find the orange flavor exciting and refreshing to drink. The sweet-sour taste makes a great combination, perfect for our erratic weather. This flavor will make a hot afternoon full of energy and good vibes. Since this is offered for a limited time only, I'll replace my favorite juice drink from time to time with Mountain Dew Live Wire

     During the event brand manager of Mountain Dew, Ms. Kay Paras said that the goal of DEWmocracy is to listen to what our consumers have to say and to allow them to engage with the brand. With DEWmocracy, every Filipino has a chance to take a stand, be heard, and select the flavor they want. In the end, your chosen flavor will remain. If you want to remain one flavor, speak up!
