Kids Time Out
« Previous EntriesOctober 2008 Holiday: Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan)
Thursday, September 25th, 2008The search strings, whether in Google, Yahoo! or other search engines, for the past days have been interesting: national holiday, Philippines, Eid’l Fitr, Ramadhan (if you lump all of that searches into one word, it’s “vacation”).
Anyway, I didn’t pay much attention to it because I didn’t expect a holiday in October. Then we received an [...]
Long Weekends in August: Time for the Family
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I just remembered that there are two long weekends this coming August, as reflected in the list of National Regular and Special Holidays for 2008 in the Philippines. The declared holidays are: Ninoy Aquino Day (18 August 2008, which means that August 17-18 is a long weekend) and National Heroes Day (25 August 2008, which [...]
Wall-e (Disney-Pixar)
Monday, July 7th, 2008Kids love cartoons (and it’s no secret that grown-ups are also fond of animated movies).

Ok, ok, I have many of those movies on CD or DVD, but let’s just say I’ve invested on those so that my son could later watch those movies. Anyway, [...]

Montevista Villas (Mimosa Leisure Estate, Clarkfield, Pampanga)
Friday, May 23rd, 2008There was plenty of space to park and move around, maybe because we got there when the rest of those who spent their Holy Week vacation are on their way back to Metro Manila. The place, with huge trees generously dotting the entire landscape, is a welcome breather from the suffocating pollution in Metro Manila. [...]
A Halo-Halo Treat for the Kids
Friday, May 2nd, 2008There’s no doubt that everyone, specially kids, love sweet food (except, perhaps, for formula milk, which is not sweet in my opinion . . . go taste it yourself). We parents, of course, are told by our doctors (and, yes, our parents) to minimize the consumption of sweets by our children. Bad for the tooth. [...]
