Parenting is such a tough act. There is always that challenge of becoming a good and
effective parent without having to look like a dictator or feared by your children rather than love and respected. Parents have this huge responsibility of ensuring that their children will grow up to become good and honest citizens and the best way to do this is by developing their personality even at a young age.
But is there really a way to make parenting fun? The answer is yes. Parenting need not to be all strict as if your kids are on a military household. You could find ways on how to raise your kids in a fun and loving environment. Start by giving them household chores that are light and easy to do.
Kids of today love the idea of being treated as an adult. Assign chores for everyone and teach them the proper way to do it. Let the younger ones do some light work such as putting place mats on the dinner table. This may look like a game for them but on the other hand you are already instilling the value of responsibility.
Of course spending some quality time with your children is very important. As most
parents are probably busy with work. Devote at least an hour or so to ask your kids about their day. Keeping the communication lines open will make the parenting task easier as your kids will be able to speak their emotions freely. Also, a nice weekend getaway or an annual family vacation could strengthen family ties and relationships. Just keep in mind that there is no need to be all serious at all times, let loose and be just like a kid sometime and your children will surely appreciate the effort.

Ever since I tried Shang Mactan's breakfast buffet last February, I've always wanted to try it again. That's why I was excited for our breakfast buffet at The Tides a couple of weeks ago.
There are a couple of choices from cereals to breads to sushi. Everything was available for us. The kids were even excited to have breakfast for the first time.
My first dinner at Sutokil was unforgettable that's why I wanted Hubby to try it too. So when we were in Cebu a couple of weeks ago, I made sure we had dinner there. So my friends and I agreed on meeting at 7PM at the Shangrila Mactan lobby for dinner at Sutokil. While waiting for our ride, we had our photo taken first. (*grin*)
After taking a nap for more than 2 hours, we felt so rested, we were ready to face another activity!
We met up with our friends at the Adventure Zone and when the Ate saw the slides, she was sooo excited! Her new friends were already there having a great time so after we registered, she went straight to the slide. I can't exactly describe the JOY that the Ate had so just look at the photos that the Hubby took while she was sliding.
Well, that's what we felt when we saw our room at Shangrila Mactan the moment we went inside. We felt like a miliionaire during that weekend. Look at this, you would surely understand what I meant...
One of the things that I can't forget from our quick getaway to Cebu with friends was the FOOD! Oh yes, I love to eat and one of the highlights of our food trip was our lunch buffet at The Tides.
With this wonderful view, you wouldn't want to go home anymore!
We got a FREE ride through the shuttle so our trip from the airport to the hotel was a breeze! I would say this is one of the most relaxed trips we ever had so far!
We arrived at the hotel after 10 minutes of travel time and then checked in immediately at the front desk. While I was checking in, the kids were greeted by Polly!
It's been almost 3 years now since my friend T went to the US. We've been friends since Highschool and we've been there for each other for years. I call her when I needed someone to talk to. She calls me when she wanted to watch a movie. She was always there ready to give time for a friend in need. 3 years ago, she left for the US and I cried.
T is a Physical Therapist but I think she looked for Occupational Therapist Assistant Jobs for a start. She wanted to try other options aside from being a PT. Now that I discovered HealthcareJobSite.com, I would like to recommend it to her when we have the chance to talk. There are tons of medical jobs available that she might be interested. And looks like there are already people who got jobs from them so I'm definitely sure T would be glad to know there is a website like HealthcareJobSite.com.
My friends and I actually planned this trip a year ago. You see, some of the MBAPS and I love to go to the beach and all of us wanted to try Shangrila Mactan, Cebu so we agreed that we will go there this year. We decided to go in August (which was 2 weeks ago). We booked our airfare December last year and then grabbed a couple of promos from Shangrila, last April. It was a very well-planned vacay and I must say, it was worth it!
We arrived at the Terminal 2 last August 12 around 4AM. Yes, we had an early flight, it was 6:10AM! After checking in, we settled down and had a quick breakfast.

I have a couple of friends in Florida and they asked me to look for Florida Apartments. They want to move as soon as possible and wanted to consider looking online. They wanted me to find a couple of apartments online because I told them the transaction would be a breeze. I don't why they were in a hurry, but they said that I had to find one as soon as possible! Good thing there are sites that offer easy to use search facility that would help you in looking for an apartment that you can rent or lease. With this, I know that what I will find will work with my friends.
This is what I love about the internet, everything can be found here. Everything is so simple and easy to use. Nothing is complicated. You get to find sometihng that would work for you. Although I know some people who dislike the use of internet and doesn't appreciate it's use but for me, it's the best thing out there! Well, for now. Because I know that in the future, something will come up again in terms of technology.
How about you? Are you also looking for apartments online? How do you find it? Is it easier?
That was 2 Saturdays ago when I met up with my highschool friends Joy and Norin to celebrate Harley's 3rd birthday!
That's what I would do in the next couple of months. I've had my blood sugar checked last week. And unfortunately, the results were not good. I wanted to try Actos is an oral diabetes medicine out until I found out that it has side effects. Recent studies shown that it would lead to serious injuries such as heart attacks, heart failure, and an increased risk of bladder cancer, which can result in an Actos lawsuit. Good thing there are lawyers readily available to help you. They provide great service when it comes to these type of problems. So if you happen to drink Pioglitazone, the chemical name for Actos which was sold under the trade names Actos, ActoplusMet, Competact and Duetact, get help fast!
When I see my girls these days, I would be surprised because they've grown so much over the past months.
I've been in the IT world for more than 10 years now and I've dealt with a lot of technical stuff already. But one field that I haven't really gotten time to learn is the networking where I need to study cables such as long hdmi cables, routers, converters and more. I would always think that it's the Hubby's line and expertise so I don't need to read about it. (*grin*) But still, since I'm working in an IT department I still need to read on these cables and all the things about networking. I just hope I find the time to do it.
Oh, I found a couple of nice quality HDMI cales at TheSourcce.ca, in case you're looking for cables like these, do check their site! ;)
Isn't this the cutest meal you've ever seen?
