March 8, 2013 was International Women's Day. I have been receiving newsletters from World Food Programme. If you advocate for or support fighting hunger worldwide, please do take time to visit the site. They work doubly hard when countries are affected by calamities or even war, when food security is compromised. WFP Philippines calls for donations when parts of the country were hit by typhoons. For International Women's Day, WFP shared these 10 facts about women and hunger. It's sad to … [Read more...]

Empowered Princesses, Cymplified!
This video brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why! Post by Everyone Matters. It may be because I love Disney princesses, that's why Elle likes them, too. I don't think princesses are girls who are spoiled and bossy. I think they are girls with substance; especially love, kindness and gentleness. There's a reason or two they are loved by their people, and I don't think it's because of their pretty faces. For me, girls with good hearts and good manners are considered … [Read more...]
Add Mo ‘Ko As Friend by Marlene Legaspi-Munar, Cymplified!
Here's another book I got for free care of @OMFLit in its blogger event I attended. It's addressed mostly to students and the younger generation. It's written in Filipino-English and with words relatable to the children of today. Add Mo 'Ko As Friend is a handy guide to being a good friend, online and offline. Since almost every student is now on social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, this book offers reminders on the usage of these sites. For example, "don't give too much … [Read more...]

God’s Character, Cymplified!
What traits of God assure you the most? What promises of His attributes do you hold on to the tightest? Do you find comfort in God's character? According to Joyce Meyer, 1. Justice: God is a God of justice. That word justice is so awesome because it means that He will always make anything that's wrong right. This helps me to not worry when I am mistreated because I know God will bring justice. It's who He is. 2. Goodness: God is good, this fact never changes. And He's good all the time, … [Read more...]
Brave Movie, Cymplified!
This movie had touched something deep inside me. Mainly because it's about the relationship of a mother and a daughter. I can empathize with the way Elinor felt after Merida stormed out of the room when they were fighting. Like Elinor, I treat Elle harshly when in anger, one too many times. :-( Like Elinor, I regret what I did, regret how the situation got out of hand, regret how nothing was resolved. Like Elinor, I cry, consumed with guilt and worry. Brave movie is a reminder for me … [Read more...]
Field Trip, Cymplified!
I have always wanted to bring my children to the zoo. 1/3 of that wish came true when I got to accompany Elle for the first time on her second field trip. My parents went with her on her very first field trip. Elle's school, together with Prime Orienteer Mgt. Inc., went on an educational tour first to Avilon Zoo in Montalban, Rizal and then to Dolljoy Gallery and Museum. The photos below show some of the animals we have observed. Elle experienced feeding the Guinea pigs carrots, the Arapaimas … [Read more...]
