Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes as AIR OPTIX® Colors and FreshLook® Colors Ambassadors

     Last July 10, 2016 an exciting event was held at Robinsons Manila Activity Center. It's the day of the big reveal as Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes were appointed AIR OPTIX® Colors’ and FreshLook®’ s newest ambassadors, with a special focus on engaging young people in the right use of color contact lens. 

     I've been wearing contact lenses for the more than 20 years now. I started wearing contact lenses when I was in high school and the first brand that I bought was FreshLook. The brand offers different colors and I find the price affordable that's why I always make sure to dispose and buy new ones when the advisable wear time expires. It's important to know these things, a.k.a. contact lens 101 because our eyes are important. We don't want to go blind just because of misuse of contact lens, right? Highlights of the event below :)

     AIR OPTIX® Colors and FreshLook®, both designed to create beautiful, natural-looking eyes, while providing healthy vision and consistent comfort throughout one’s wearing period have their own special wearing modalities. Both are products of Alcon the global leader in eye care, provides innovative products that enhance quality of life by helping people worldwide see better.

     I presume that you are confused on which brand to buy so I'm giving you a brief information below on both contact lens brand under Alcon. But first here are the things you need to know on both brands:

• These lenses can be prescribed with or without vision correction.

FreshLook® Color Contact Lenses

• FreshLook uses the classic hydrogel material and is best for EVERYDAY WEAR.

Here's a piece of an advice from Dr. Romualdez-Oo:

• Knowing how long you want to use your contact lens in a day matters. 
• Just like our bodies need to breathe, oxygen is also essential for the health of the cornea, the clear, domed-shaped front part of the eye. 
• Insufficient oxygen may cause corneal swelling and lead to irritated and red eyes which may bring about uncomfortable lens wear
• Contact lenses are medical devices and should be fitted by a licensed eye care professional, even for people who do not need vision correction. 
• Your eye care professional can determine the contact lens and correction that are best for you.

     Now you can feel free to have fun, be beautiful and have healthy eyes with Air Optix® Colors and FreshLook® Color Contact Lenses. Remember, responsible contact lens wear equals happy, brighter, and healthier eyes. Thank you so much Alcon for my new contact lens. It's so pretty and comfy.

Dino Play at the Mind Museum

     Kenzo is fascinated with dinosaurs. I guess, kids this age will always wonder about the creatures who walked on earth million years ago. I asked my son why he likes to see a real dinosaur, his answer "I want to hear them roar and see how big they are." Kids like Kenzo can now learn and experience everything about dinosaurs. 

     Satisfy their curiosity and visit the interactive museum that caters to all things dinosaur! We visited The Mind Museum weeks ago and Kenzo got a chance to interact with other kids inside the latest travelling exhibition- Dino Play: Explore the Mind-blowing World of Dinosaurs. Before I show you what activities are in store for you, this exhibit will be at The Mind Museum for a limited time only. So plan your visit now!

Dino Play at the Mind Museum

 
     Dino Play was launched last June 29 and all the dinosaur fans are invited to come and explore the world of dinosaurs. A replica of Tyrannosaurus Rex's foot print welcomes the guests upon entering the venue.

     There's a vintage original Sarao Motors jeep that Kenzo noticed first. He checked out the jeep before going inside the exhibit. He likes cars and other kinds of transportation so he will not let this one pass.

The Dino Play Adventure

     The adventure begins by introducing guests as to what dinosaurs actually are, and how they are related to the more familiar, modern reptiles. I enjoyed this part of the tour because I really learned a lot and discovered some trivia about dinosaurs.

Dino Play is divided into four nests:

1. Dino Dig

     Be a paleontologist for a day! Paleontologists, or scientists who study dinosaurs and ancient biology through fossils, regularly go to the field and dust off rocks to look for fossils and what their surroundings imply about the dead creature and its previous life.

     Here, guests use their Paleontologist Field Kits to reveal fossils hidden in the excavation sites! Kenzo enjoyed being a Paleontologist that day. Amidst the coarse texture of the sand, he gamely use his kit to dig and dust off rocks to see what lies beneath. He found a large fossil of fighting dinosaurs in the photo below.

2. Dino Lab

     It's time to investigate the fossils to discover at Dino Lab. It's the second nest where you can examine actual fossil remains. Take a look at dinosaur bones, petrified wood, ancient shelled creatures called ammonites, and even dinosaur poop that has since turned to stone.

     I also enjoyed examining different fossils inside this nest. Kenzo and I were examining a baby dinosaur fossils (head) and for us to know what kind of dinosaur it is, we need to use the magnifying glass then observe its appearance then locate the name of that dinosaur in the given chart.

3. Dino Fun

     This is the third nest where you can go hands-on with a variety of activities. These activities are actually for kids to learn and play on their own. They can do this with other kids just be sure to guard them at all times and assist them in the following activities:

A. Make your own fossils- using sand art materials.

B. Dino Family Tree- Play and learn about a day in the life of a dinosaur.

C. Dino Lookout Tower- climb and spot any rogue dinosaurs that may be hiding in the vicinity!

4. Dino Den

     Once you've fully immersed yourself in the world of dinosaurs, why not become one yourself in the Dino Den? In this activity area recommended for kids 2-8 years old, they can put on their dinosaur costumes and stomp around in a forest land with their friends and classmates.

     Each nest not only provides you and your family with fun activities but also with ample information on how dinosaurs lived and are studied. Adult Guides are also provided for parents and teachers; these are manuals that can be found in each nest, highlighting the activities and supplementary information they can use to engage their students and enhance their learning experience.

     Even the outside areas provide interactive learning: you can measure your height and compare this to those of the dinosaurs!

     Dino Play provides an excellent opportunity for kids and kids at heart to learn about some of the most intriguing creatures that have ever lived in our Earth’s history! Thank you so much, The Mind Museum for having us. Kenzo not only enjoyed the day but he learned so many things inside Dino Play's nests.
