For most youngsters, summer  vacation is the best time to experience and learn new things, especially with friends and playmates. That is why the country’s leading fast-food chain is welcoming jollikids to its stores until May 31, 2019 for the Jollibee Kids Club (JKC) Mini Managers Camp . Kids aged 4 to 12 years old can join the six-day camp to learn the importance of hard work and good values like leadership and responsibility through various engaging and fun activities. These include arts and crafts sessions, Yumburger making, ice cream making, fun games, and dancing. During the camp, the Jollibee Mini Managers can also discover the world-class yet personal service that the Filipino brand is known for and learn the store’s best practices through helping the store crew welcome and greet customers as they come in, take orders while stationed behind the counter, and hand out take-home bags at the Drive-Thru window. “As a program that offers kids a productive way to spend su

Recently, the number of hours spent on sitting is more than the hours spent on any physical work, this seems normal but this is alarming since it may result in serious health problems. If you are a busy bee with piles of workloads on your tabletop and have no time to do some stretching, then the more reason that you need to get off the chair and let your blood flow.

The word is about being able to work on your routine and go around without having to deal without that mini- heart attack that most of us feel while climbing up three floors using the stairs. At a bigger picture, regular exercise is a healthy dose towards keeping yourself away from the risk of dreaded diseases, including some types of cancer. Here are some health benefits of regular exercise: ▪️ Achieve the right weight. Coupled with balanced diet, regular exercising helps in controlling your weight and preventing obesity. Th

Lenten Season is just a few weeks away, and most of us will enjoy our most awaited vacation by going to the beach, or to the provinces and visiting relatives long missed. With this being said, we end up leaving our homes with no one to look after, most of us rely on our ever trusty guard dogs or CCTV's installed hoping this will serve as a deterrent to anyone who will try to break in our homes. With all the things that is happening in our society today, it's better to be safe than sorry, gearing up your home against any unwanted visitors, or preventing any dangers from escalating is a must,. Your home should be safe. It should feel like your own personal refuge, a private sanctuary where you and your family can feel most secure and most worry-free. The demand for home security has always been a top priority for most of us, ensuring the safety of our family from any harm, in the Philippines, just like in many countries, feeling safe within the confines of ones’ home

We Filipinos love to eat and that is a fact, and we eat to our heart's delight, not thinking about how this can affect our health, including our environment.

It’s about time to eat healthy, live healthy, and take control of your health!

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
