I went to buy Basmati rice.  Tita Rose suggested this to us since Basmati rice apparently has a low glycemic level which is a better alternative for diabetics

My friend, Mig, is the doctor of the stars!  🙂  When David Foster came to Manila, mig did some treatment for him.  After which David Foster contacted him and flew him over to the States to do a follow up treatment. Cool!!!

Mingo Feeding at Carles Iloilo

By | For kids, Giving Back, Health and Fitness | No Comments

In the island of Carles it was nice to see many children – even nicer to see children taking care of (I would assume) their younger siblings, carrying them in their arms

Camille Tolentino Geuino introduced Mingo to the community and donates enough Mingo good for two months  It’s not only feeding them but providing the needed nutrition they need

The Sandy Project and A Tribute to Sandy

By | For kids, Health and Fitness, Household Tips, Medical, Tributes | One Comment

Sandy continues to be in our hearts and in our lives as she spreads the word about dengue and how to protect ourselves from becoming a victim.  Sandy’s family are keeping her spirit alive through their recently launched project – The Sandy Project.  Sharing it hear in Heart2Heart and I am asking you to spread this to all your friends and family and especially to children so they can be aware of dengue

 Yesterday, Sandy’s school gave a very beautiful tribute for her!  I am so glad I took videos!  I worked on this quickly so please bear with me.  I hope it will still capture the essence of the event.  Thank you Peaches for making me a part and making me cry with everyone else!  Thank you for allowing me to document this wonderful tribute.  You are truly blessed

Here are some photos which I will post as well from the video.  It was my first time to visit MGIS Mahatma Gandhi International School.  A very nice school with only around 150 students so approximately 10 per level.  So almost everyone knows each other here 🙂  It’s an IB school


 When I arrived in the school, I saw this poster!!  The kids of Peaches are all champions in archery including Sandy!  

 Everyone gathered in the auditorium

 For a tribute

 Spearheaded by Headmistress Rebecca Warren

 They prepared song numbers, slideshows and planted a beautiful tree in commemoration of Sandy

 All the students hung messages for Sandy on the tree

Protect Yourself from Dengue

By | For kids, Health and Fitness | No Comments

Dengue is and has been rampant and we really need to be more aware on how we can prevent this deadly disease.  Sharing herewith some tips which my batchmate Tisha shared with us.  It’s meant for Austin Texas, but we can apply most of them here in the Philippines

And my tip is to always spray yourself with antimosquito spray and the best out there is Cadentia’s Antimosquito cologne which acts as a repellant at the same time keeps you smelling good and pleasant
