The school year is about to end, like most of the kids, Chelsea is excited to start her vacation, she even told us about her plans for her vacation, seems funny but this is one way that we see how she tries to manage her time. And aside from playing outside with her scooter and friends, going to the beach, and visiting our relatives, we want her to have a meaningful and memorable vacation. Chelsea is really full of energy and ideas, aside from drawing, we allow her to do small chores at home and believe it or not, she also managed to grow few plants in her mini-garden. She also started to join fun-runs, which we enjoyed a lot as it serves as bonding time for us. During my younger years, I also wanted to have this kind of activities but time and opportunity forbid it, so this time I wanted my daughter to be exposed to different activities that will help her develop her mind and physical abilities. Aside from being active, eating is one of the things that she reall

I started working in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Industry way back 2007. Being a college undergraduate, I had to support my family and BPO had been my only hope. I worked as a Senior Account Representative in one of the biggest telecommunication company here in the Philippines but the income will not suffice my family’s daily needs. I must say that BPO had been a great help for me and my family. Working in a BPO will definitely help you financially. In return, you will have a lot to sacrifice. You will have sleep deprivation since you will be working at night most of the time (graveyard shifts). You will not even notice the date, as most of the accounts you will be working for have different time zones. You will turn to foods, (comfort foods) when you are burned and stressed out. You will have less and less time to exercise. As a result, many call center employees are obese. Common Health Risk  Obesity Diabetes Carpal Tunnel  Syndrome  Bone Loss Ulcer Anem

From the traditional clay pot where it was used to be cooked then to our trusty "kalderos" at home, It takes the right amount of water and just the right flame to cook the rice and if you weren't lucky enough, you'll either toast the rice or it will end up uncooked. Nowadays you do not need to undergo years of training to cook rice in a right manner, all you need to do is rely on your kitchen buddy rice cooker and it will do the job for you. Rice cookers have already surpassed its sole purpose and have become a versatile kitchen appliance, aside from cooking, some find it perfect for baking, cooking viands, and many more. So with this being said, French cookware and small domestic appliances (SDA) manufacturer Tefal’s first-of-its-kind spherical pot rice cookers have arrived in the Philippines and are set to revolutionize the way Filip
