I asked James to bring me along and I am so glad I did!!  Heart2Heart discovered another great Filipino in action!!! Peter Amores! It’s amazing what he did, what he is doing and what he is still about to do!! This guy has changed the lives of teenagers from Tondo by playing football in the streets!  Since 2006 he has dedicated his time and even financial resources to Futkal.

 And when I look at the boys…it makes me feel happy that someone has helped them uplift their lives for the better

Peter told me that it is not only playing football, but character formation, discipline and education.  You have to be sort of certified to be a Futkalero and abide by the rules and discipline being instilled in them

Football ( soccer ) is made available to children in exclusive schools, but what Peter is doing is he is introducing the sport to the masses and making more people enjoy the sport!

Ready Set Big School

By | Education, For kids | No Comments

Starting school is an important step in a young child’s life.  This prompts many parents to ask, “Is my child ready for Big School?”  Starting big school can be a stressful experience for children.  The days are longer, the buildings are bigger, there are more children and they are the smallest in the playground.  Much more is also expected of them in terms of academic skills.

We are very pleased to inform you that we are organizing a discussion as a response to parents’ request and need for some guidance on how they can help their child manage the transition from preschool to primary school or elementary.  The talk entitled, “Ready… Set… Big School!  A Guide for Parents” will be held on Friday, 11 February 2011 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm at the Everest Academy Administration Building.  We are fortunate to have as guest speaker, Mrs. Ma. Carolina “Maricar” Gustilo-de Ocampo.  Mrs. de Ocampo earned her master’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education in Bank Street College of Education in New York, USA.  She later pursued her studies and earned her PhD in Executive Program in Educational Leadership and Management from De La Salle University. She is a well-known education consultant of many schools. She has given a number of talks on education-related topics to educators and parents.

I encourage all of you to attend this talk.  You will gain a better understanding of this big step in your child’s life, and as you understand this important step, you can manage your expectations of our child and at the same time help him/her make this transition as smooth as possible

 

Hope to see you all then.  Please feel free to invite your friends.

By | Animals and Pets, Fashion, For kids | 4 Comments

Heart2Heart visited the Whitespace market today to see the new products of Tin!  ESPADRILLES!!!  I remember when we were teenagers and we would collect all the colors of espadrilles.  The beauty about Tin’s espadrilles is that they are made in our very own country, in CEBU!  Love the embroidered kids designs!! I told Tin to make animal designs for me! 🙂  and maybe other bigger girls and ladies might want some.  My 3 boys already ordered Men’s size!  We all love them!  Good luck Tin! For sure you will sell a lot – they are adorable!

She told me that she sources the fabric herself from Japan and Shanghai to make sure that the clothes are comfortable.  img_8476.JPGimg_8479aaa.jpgimg_8494.jpg

And I was looking for Pinky Marquez- Cancio but did not see her but saw her booth with plenty nice things!!

Chef Javs Part 2

By | Foodie, For kids | 5 Comments

It’s been almost a year since Heart2Heart featured Chef Javs.  

Previous Entry:  Chef Javs Feb 27, 2010 

Mommy Heart2Heart is happy to know that Chef Javs is still wanting to be a chef a year after 🙂  and now he is even more passionate as he turns eleven years old today.  Happy Birthday to our little chef!  Thank you to Daddy for supplying the ingredients for Chef Javs! We will encourage him and support him in whatever he wants to be!

After Chef Javs made his Queso de Onion which he cooked for a few friends and family, he has been asking me to promote it and sell it for him in Heart2Heart 🙂 

Previous entry:  Cookies for Santa Dec. 26, 2010 

Mommy keeps telling Chef Javs to go to cooking school to learn first …meantime, Chef Javs has been making many other inventions and learning on his own from the internet and from his cookbooks.  It’s quite difficult to know when he will be making something so the photos are sometimes too late or taken from a cellphone ( so bear with them ).  What amazes me most is the way he explains to us how he makes each dish.  And it seems he is learning more and more everyday 🙂

Cookies For Santa?

By | Christmas, For kids, Recipes | 7 Comments

About two weeks ago, we arrived home from a Christmas party and we noticed the lights opened in the hallway and when we opened the front door, we saw a table with a note and a covered plate.  We thought Javier left cookies for Santa………. 

img_4090.jpg

As we went closer, we saw that the note was for us! 

img_4091.JPG

Javier (Chef Javs Feb 27, 2010  )cooked one of his invented recipes while we were away…..he calls it Queso de Onion ( Onion Rings with Queso de Bola ) 🙂  He calls his older brother “Manong” who is one of his biggest fans and eats all his inventions

When we opened the cover, this was what was inside!!  🙂  So funny and so sweet our son!
