What a great idea for kids to keep themselves busy. It’s also a nice gift for kids ages 3 to 7 years old. I recently discovered Sandbox which was launched late last year

Our son, Jaime, has taken a very keen interest in being a DJ. He has been doing this for sometime as a hobby and he has been the Campus DJ in boarding school where he gets to practice with his friend Antonio 🙂 It’s every Wednesday for an hour and it’s called Terminally Chill from 9am to 10am Manila time. Since he is on summer break in Manila, he was able to DJ one night at Republiq
Thank you to Tito Tim Yap for giving him a chance to perform
Sandro Marcos was with us that evening and he is the mentor of Jaime! I like this guy very much – So handsome, so cool, always very gracious and respectful, and very confident 🙂 Everyone knows him in Republiq. He was so proud to tell me ” Tita, I am Jaime’s mentor and I am telling you Tita, He’s doing a great job! ” 🙂

It was so nice that he has very supportive friends and family that came that evening – maybe around 30
This DJ trend is worldwide- even in the NIKE store in London, there is a DJ booth playing music 🙂
An interesting article on the son of Benihana founder who earns millions as a DJ! 🙂
Many young boys now like to DJ
Gigz Reyes, Son of my friend Bambi Reyes Javelosa – Doing a stint at Cable Car
Dwayne Tiu who is also interested in becoming a DJ 🙂 He is the son of one of Heart2Heart’s viewers, Jen Tiu. I met them a few weeks ago 🙂
and maybe some not so young ones 🙂 haha!! This super funny guy, Bigboy Cheng

Seven years ago, our group went to Bohol and after that we kept talking about a group trip again but no plan ever pushed through and this year we actually made it. I always wish for my kids to be friend with our kids so I am happy they spent time together. It’s truly a blessing. How fast time flies and how they have grown from then

My “city boys” were so mad at me for planning our vacation but I am so glad they walked in the mud,
rode a bangka,
went snorkelling,
went shopping in a public market,
ate with their hands,
spotted some dolphins,
swam in the beach,
bonded with friends,
bonded with us 🙂
visited some churches and prayed
swam with the whalesharks,
saw and amazing waterfall and swam in it
and everything else they would not have done had they stayed in the comfort of the house and the city. Mission accomplished! 🙂 And did I forget to mention ….. THEY ENJOYED!

Love this!!!!
Follow the yellow flag to make sure you are not lost 🙂
very rustic so make sure you have closed shoes – but we made it still with flip flops but its just safer to have closed shoes to avoid injury due to the stones on the pathway
The Lighthouse
We made it 🙂

We had a delicious dinner!
