I know a lot of us have had teachers who had profound influence in our life. And so it's nice to see Bato Balani Foundation, Inc. and Diwa Learning Systems implement a program to honor teachers. "The Many Faces of the Teacher 2012." The program searches for role models in the teaching profession, who can inspire their fellow educators to excellence. Who can be nominated? * Open to teachers of all ages who are actively teaching in private or public primary, elementary and secondary, colleges...

One of Jose Rizal's most quotable quotes is, "The youth is the hope of the nation." Well, if that's the case, then the youth (specifically college students) better step up and join Unilab Ideas Positive, a social marketing program/contest. What is Unilab Ideas Positive? It is a social marketing congress and competition for college students nationwide. It covers North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. What happens in UIP? College students form a group and present their best ideas that...

Teleserv is not a new company to me. I remember ordering a renewal of my passport in 2001 when the company was still known as Pilipinas Teleserv. Since 2001, I've ordered quite a number of copies of my birth certificates, marriage certificates, and Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR). Just last week, my brother asked me to order a copy of his birth certificate. In just two days, I received his documents via 2GO. I am a regular customer of Teleserv because of its efficient service. For P330,...

I've been wanting to get myself a Kindle for a few years now, probably since the 2nd came out. But they didn't ship to the Philippines and I didn't know about Johnny Air 's services then. (Special shoutout to Haji and Grace !) But more importantly, I wasn't willing to shell out over $300. (This was even before I had my own laptop, so getting an e-book reader was really a want than a need.) When the Graphite version came out and sold for $149, I was thisclose to actually getting one. Even...

I first heard about Krispy Kreme 10 years ago, prior to a family trip to the U.S., but unfortunately, I never got to try it there. So when the rumors were confirmed that they were opening their first branch in Bonifacio Global City, I was so excited that I actually considered lining up on the first day! Since then, we've been waiting for the Hot Light down south, figuring that the Alabang market is in sync with Krispy Kreme's. Stores have since opened, including those in SM Mall of Asia, SM...

I first encounter SIDS in 2004 when I was managing a website project. SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a phenomenon where a sleeping baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly. Anecdotal evidence and reports show that SIDS occur when a baby is sleeping, hence, the term "crib death." Until now, the cause of SIDS is not completely known but health organizations continue to increase awareness about this condition. Baby monitors have become a popular tool for parents to keep track of their...

I know I'm not perfect, and I never will be. All I want is what's best for my child. (Don't we all?) Johnson's, I hate you for making me cry in the middle of the afternoon. But I love how with this simple message, you made us moms feel that we're doing okay. (Don't forget the wonderful dads too!)

FINALLY!!! A good friend and I were one step away from submitting our applications for the first season of The Amazing Race Asia. I was such a fan of the US show that I swore I'd join if it came anywhere close to the Philippines. We were trying to figure out how to do our audition video, when Felix (my friend and would-be teammate, if we were chosen) decided to back out because his grandmother wasn't in the best of health and it would be devastating if it came to the point where he had to...
