1. That time when Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards was born. The show concept stemmed from Nickelodeon’s research with kids, which found that kids wanted to feel like they made a difference in the world. Kids wanted to be heard. So in 1986, Nickelodeon created Big Ballot, the first national poll of kids likes and dislikes. The Big Ballot was eventually renamed Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards in 1988.

     Happy Holidays! I'm so excited to share with you the latest collection from SM Kids' Fashion. I was invited to SM Kids' Fashion 2014 Collection Launch last November 20 at SM Aura to get the first dibs on what's in for our little kiddos this season. Aside from the launch, the event also showcased SM Kids' Fashion Wishing Tree where the press and media present during the event wrote their wishes for Christmas. It's a very fashionable yet fulfilling event for everyone because by posting our selfies at Instagram and tagging two friends, we're able to share something for the benefit of San Roque Elementary School at Leyte :)

      Honestly, I'm looking forward to this collection. SM Kids' Fashion tops my list whenever I shop for my son's clothes including costumes, accessories, and even underwear plus the shoes of course! Why I'm excited?

     Grocery shopping is one of our weekly family bonding activity. I'm happy that my son is always excited to accompany us in buying our food and other grocery items. We like to buy our everyday essentials in spacious and complete stores like SM Supermarket and Save More Market. The location is very convenient for us since it's just a stone throw away from where we live.

BIC Kids- Small Hands will do Big Things

     My son loves to draw. He's been drawing cars, trains, trucks, and even cute little faces since he was four years old. If he saw a crumpled paper or even a receipt, he will ask for a pen and draw random things.  This is one of his talents that we are so proud of. We are happy that at a very young age he appreciates art and makes drawing one of his past time. 

     "Pen is mightier than a sword" but letting your kids write and draw their dreams in the most creative way is more powerful. It is important in child development that he or she can creatively express his or her thoughts and feeling by putting ideas from pen to paper. Parents and teachers are helping hand and hand to build a child's confidence and self-belief through visualizing, drawing and finally displaying their creation and I'm excited to share that BIC launches a collection of coloring products designed especially for kids.

Tips on How to Maximize Your Kid's Time at KidZania Manila

     Kenzo really enjoyed his stay at KidZania months ago. If time permits, we will stay there the whole day. There are so many things to do in KidZania, your kid's precious play time will be well spent if you know how to maximize your time during your visit. It's the most visited play city in Manila today, I've heard that you need to book ahead to reserve a slot. I promised Kenzo that we will go back to KidZania with his cousins. But for now, here are the tips to make the most out of your child's KidZania Manila experience.

Tips on How to Maximize Your Kid's Time at KidZania Manila
L- Our KidZania boarding passes, R- KidZania Tags :)

     Kids looking for an awesome experience that lets them learn while having fun can head to KidZania Manila—the only interactive play city where kids can explore, discover, and learn how the real world works. 

     Built to scale for children, KidZania Manila has more than 70 establishments and features over 100 role-playing activities that kids aged four to 14 years can enjoy. These fun and immersive career activities have been designed to be developmentally appropriate for their age group.

     The play city has a wide range of activities to choose from, you’ll find a handy guide below on how kids can maximize the fun and have the best learning experience at KidZania Manila.

Find the best career

     Upon arrival at KidZania Manila, kids are given a boarding pass and check for 50 kidZos. Once inside the play city, they can head over to the Bank to encash their check into KidZos—the official currency in KidZania. Here’s a not-so-secret tip: they can conveniently open a bank account with a minimum deposit of 20 kidZos—just make sure to check the schedule for the opening of accounts at the Bank. After opening an account, kids get their own personalized ATM card that they can use in the ATMs all around the play city. 

Tips on How to Maximize Your Kid's Time at KidZania Manila
50 kidZos was given to Kenzo after we encashed the check upon our arrival at KidZania 

     Now, it’s time for them to choose where they want to go. Kids can check each establishment’s Census Plaque to help them determine which activity they can participate in. Reading these plaques is especially helpful because they indicate the age requirement and duration period of the activity, as well as how many visitors can join and whether the activity will require earning or spending kidZos.

     KidZania Manila also has an Employment Office which helps kids determine their preferred immersive activity. Here, visitors find out which jobs are best suited for them, giving them a better idea on which establishments to go to. 

     Once they decide which job to take, kids can easily find the establishment using an app on a mobile phone which they can rent at the ABS-CBN Mobile shop.

Earning kidZos

     Just like in the real world, kids can get a bachelor’s or master’s degree in various fields at the Centro Escolar University. They can sign up for any—or all!—of the four degrees at the University: Humanities and the Arts, Engineering and Architecture, Health Sciences, and Business Administration. This allows them to earn more or pay less kidZos in the professions related to the fields they have studied. 

Tips on How to Maximize Your Kid's Time at KidZania Manila
Kenzo wanted to join the activity in all the establishments but we wasn't not able to maximize our time since we arrived an hour later and it's Saturday. 

     Fans and frequent visitors can even become citiZens of KidZania Manila through the B-KidZanian loyalty program. They can apply for their very own PaZZport at the PaZZport Office and earn stamps every time they role-play a career. The more activities kids complete, the more benefits they'll earn and the more fun they'll have on their very next visit. 

Bring home the KidZania experience

     If kids want to bring home a souvenir or two, the National Store is the place to go to. With two locations—one near PikZ station and the other just by the exit—they will surely find toys and collectibles that capture the fun they had at KidZania Manila. The National Store accepts payments in Philippine pesos, a foreign currency in the play city.

     Another important stop for kids and their parents alike is the PikZ Station, where they can get photos of the misters and misses’ unforgettable and precious on-the-job moments at the play city. 

Z-U next time! 

     After a fun and eventful day of “work” and play, kids can make a beeline for the Immigration Office, located between the Mobile Shop and the National Store. This is where security bracelets are removed and guests make their exit. 

Tips on How to Maximize Your Kid's Time at KidZania Manila
Our last stop was the city tour bus. We enjoyed our tour before going home. Kenzo also bought something from his hard earned KidZos that day at the souvenir shop

     At KidZania Manila, kids can enjoy a fun learning experience that sparks their imagination, ignites their minds, nurtures creativity, and inspires real-world exploration. And with these tips, children can do even bigger things and make the most out of their role-playing experience. Bring your kids at KidZania, I swear that your trip will be oh so worth it! I'll make another blog post on Kenzo's experience at KidZania soon!:)

Jollibee's 21st Maaga ang Pasko Toy and Book Drive

     I'm proud to say that Kenzo loves sharing his old toys with the less fortunate children. Whenever we go out and see them in the streets, he always tell me that he will keep his old toys and give it to them next time we go back to the place where we saw them. Aside from this, Kenzo also donated some of his stuff toys last Christmas in Jollibee's Maaga ang Pasko toy and book drive. I presume you've seen a big box containing toys and books inside the Jollibee stores. This is their way of giving back to the less fortunate children. 

     Making every Christmas brighter and more joyful for over two decades, Jollibee celebrated the launch of Maaga ang Pasko, now on its 21st year. This 2015, the country’s longest-running annual toy and book drive is continuing its mission to inspire more kindhearted Filipinos to donate gifts and spread the early Christmas cheer to less fortunate kids.

Jolly Toy Scout volunteers pitched in to make the toys and books clean and good as new in the ‪#‎MaagaAngPasko‬ clean-up drive! You too can help make kids happy this Christmas, just drop your toy and book donations in any Jollibee store nationwide.

     Spearheading the donation drive as lead Jolly Toy Scouts are child actor Marco Masa, The Voice Kids Philippines Season 1 grand winner Lyca Gairanod and finalist Darlene Vibares, and Goin’ Bulilit kids Angelo Alayon, JM Gacayan, and Belle Mariano. The new batch of Jolly Toy Scouts hope to inspire other kids like them to share their pre-loved toys and books to make other kids happy.

     During the various campaign launches held nationwide, these kids led by example by donating their own toys and books. Eleven-year-old Darlene gave away a coloring storybook that her beloved grandfather gave to her. “I learned how to read through this book,” she said. “I hope whoever receives it enjoys the stories as much as I did.” Like Darlene, JM also donated a gift for budding bookworms. “My wish is that like me, another child gets to benefit from reading this book.” 

     A teddy bear that is dear to her heart was 10-year-old Lyca’s contribution. “It’s important to me because it was given by a fan. I always have this doll beside me when I sleep at night because it’s one of my favorites,” the young singing champion said.

Cool Kids Wear Swag Junior

     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 :)

Summer Essentials + Biore UV Mild Milk for Kids

     Summer is just around the corner and the kids are so excited to wake up late, eat whatever they want, and play any time of the day. It is during this season that kids are so excited to go outside and play under the sun without worrying too much. 

     Expect dirt, sweat, and funky odor after playtime but fret not because that's part of growing up. If there's one thing to worry about summer, it's the skin-damaging effects of the sun. If adults need to apply sunscreen when they go outside, the kids are also highly advised to wear sunscreen before and during playtime. Their skin is so sensitive and prone to sun damage that's why a trusted and highly effective sunscreen brand is a must. Sharing some of my son's summer essentials and the sunscreen brand that we highly recommend after the jump.

Bantay Bata kids at KidZania Manila

     I salute kids who know how to give back at an early age. My father taught me to help less fortunate individuals when I was growing up and I'm happy because he instilled in us the value of giving. I want Kenzo to learn this value because it's always better to give than to receive. With this in mind, I have great news to all the families who love KidZania!    

     The kids of ABS-CBN Foundation’s Bantay Bata program enjoyed exploring KidZania Manila and its various role-playing activities, through the kindness of their fellow children who supported the KidZania Para sa Bantay Bata initiative. By purchasing star-shaped capiz ornaments, the play city’s misters and misses were able to raise more than P174,000, sending more than 160 underprivileged children to discover their dream careers at the mini metropolis. Visiting KidZania Manila and role-playing various careers was an unforgettable experience for the Bantay Bata kids. More details about The KidZania para sa Bantay Bata program below :)

Bantay Bata kids at KidZania Manila

     The kids enjoyed working as chefs for a day, and making their own cheeseburgers and macaroni salads. They also learned the ins and outs of putting a newspaper and a TV show together, the value of caring for trees, and the importance of working together to save lives as doctors and firefighters. “It was an inspiring experience, as the kids gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of what adults do and how society functions,” added Evan.

     “One of the most important values we always aim to teach kids is to care and share whatever blessings they have with others,” said Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas, State Governor of KidZania Manila. “It just goes to show that each of us can do something—no effort is too big or too small—to make the holidays bright for others, especially kids who are in need.”

     ELLE’s celebration wouldn’t be complete without a catwalk presentation, and this one definitely did not disappoint. The limited edition “7 Decades, 7 Dresses” headlined the show with new frocks that mark each of the brand’s 7 decades. See the photos below :)

     Young fashionistas took over the runway to show off the Juniors and Kids F/W collections. Girls are all set to be the belles of the ball, with flowing, delicate dresses, metallic knits, couture- style suits, tutus and sparkling skirts. Touches of gold, red and silver, plus luxe embellishments like quilting, embroidery and sequins further elevated the collection’s sophistication.
