Today, I am sharing
a video made by my
sister for my
daughter Rica. It
consists of Rica’s
pictures when they
were playing dress
up last summer with
perfectly matching
background music
entitled Fashion by
Lady Gaga. This is
part one only for
there are still more
pictures yet to be
posted. Apparently,
they collected so
many photos because
Tita Tin and Rica
love playing dress
up and had a number
of bonding moments
doing it.
People who know me
can tell that I am
not keen to fashion.
For me, the simpler
the better and I
doll myself up
elegantly only when
necessity calls for
it. What I’m

With the recent
declaration of
Dengue epidemic in
Davao del Sur and
possibly in other
provinces in the
Philippines as well,
we would like to
disseminate
information about a
practical but
effective way to
manage
thrombocytopenia or
low platelet count
that often become
fatal if not
addressed
immediately. Please

or the tawa-tawa
photo to read Mama
Sez's article.

“Mama, had Papa told
you that you are
beautiful? How did
you feel? Was it
good” That was my
8-year-old son’s
query while we were
having dinner one
night. “Huh?! Why do
you ask?” was my
surprised response.
But before he can
explain, I answered
his question
truthfully so he can
continue to be open
about the topic.
“Well, there is this
girl in class who is
so beautiful and I
want to tell her
that. I was
wondering if she’ll
feel good about
it.”
“Of course, but
consider befriending
her first before you
tell her that, talk
about other things
with her, know her
likes and dislikes”

Consistency in
following a weekly
exercise program is
always a challenge
to most people, and
we are not an
exception. In order
to fulfill a minimum
of 30-minute workout
to elevate our heart
rates in 3-4 days
per week, we
imagined ourselves
to be doing walking,
jogging or
occasionally
swimming. However,
as parents, lots of
surprises crop up
that throw well-laid
out plans out the
door. Setting
expectations too
high could lead to
frustrations and
therefore not
helpful to happiness
and well-being.
We recently found
what could be a good
way to go around the
many limitations in
our current
situation

Today, hopes are
high as Benigno
"Noynoy" Aquino III
takes his oath of
office as the new
President of the
Republic of the
Philippines. I have
no illusions of a
dramatic turnaround
of the country's
status over the next
six years, but I am
hoping that a new
path towards a
better Philippines
would be established
paving the way for
future
administrations to
reach the illusive
dream of becoming a
developed country.
One that is able to
protect its citizens
and provide them
with the essentials
so each can reach
his/her own highest
potential (as
parents we want this

Our 10-year old
daughter came home
upset late Thursday
afternoon. She
found out that day
that the auditions
for the school’s
Dance Club is set
the next day and she
hasn’t made any
preparations for it.
Moreover, she also
has homework – more
than the usual, she
claimed. The
breaking point
perhaps is that her
uniform was
sprinkled with ink
from a ball pen of
someone who was
messing around in
the school service
on the way home.
Noticing her
troubled face, I
inquired when she
got to the door, “Hi
Rica, is there
anything wrong?”
With tears coming
down her cheeks, she
pointed to the black
ink peppered

It’s been two weeks
since our two older
kids started school.
They are in a new
school, new
environment, new
policies and lots of
other things new to
them. Some of the
changes were
immediately accepted
like wearing of
school uniform.
With their former
Montessori school,
for four years, they
enjoyed the freedom
of deciding what to
wearno uniform,
except for P.E.
Surprisingly, they
enthusiastically
welcomed wearing one
now. They are always
excited to wear them
and even thought of
it as “cool.” Rica
even complemented
her younger brother
with "Ang pogi ni
Leon" when the
latter wore his
uniform

When certain
concepts and trends
in animal behavior
is used to explain
human behavior, the
writer regardless of
the background
(whether biology or
journalism) has to
be careful about
treading a dangerous
line between being
misunderstood by the
general public or
misrepresenting the
knowledge in the
effort to make it
understandable.
Allow me to try this
one out about
fatherhood in honor
of all fathers as
the world celebrates
Father’s Day on June
20.
As a biologist and
behaviorist, I
studied proximate
(how) and ultimate
(why) causes of
animal behavior. In
this blog, I just
want to articulate

June 5, 2010 - My
summer vacation was
so fun because we
went to a lot of
places in the
Philippines. We did
not ride a plane but
we road our car and
two ferry boats.
When we reached
Luzon, we even had
more fun. We saw
Butanding (whale
shark) and fireflies
in Sorsogon. When we
were on the boat
going to look at the
Butanding, I was so
excited! We were
going to see a real
live whale shark at
last! I jumped out
of the boat two
times because I
wanted to see it
again.
We also rode a boat
along a river going
to the fireflies.
When we saw them,
they were on a tree.
They looked

Today, I rode the
school service with
our eight-year-old
son. It was not
what I had in mind
when Mama Sez
informed me
yesterday that only
primary school
pupils are scheduled
today to have their
two-hour orientation
for the new school
year, and so one of
us can take our
eldest daughter’s
spot in the school
service.
It’s good that Mama
Sez convinced me to
go with our son. It
was a chance to show
him that he is
important and
deserves my
undivided attention.
Besides it’s also
his first day in a
new, bigger school,
and also his first
time to ride a
school service.
We’ve been psyching
