The Ate's Wishlist for Twitterafia Chrismas Party

The Twitterafia's Christmas party is only a few weeks to go so I'm posting the Ate's wish list here.

1. The Manga Artist Workbook


She loves arts & crafts and lately, she'd been watching how to draw anime/cartoons so when I saw this workbook in National I knew that she would like it.

2. Any book from Dork Series by Rachel Russell (except the Dork Diaries 3 1/2: How to Dork Your Diary by Rachel R. Russell)


Dork Diaries
Tales from a Not so Graceful Ice Princess


Tales from a Not so Talented Pop Star

After she read the first book (Dork Diaries 3 1/2: How to Dork Your Diary by Rachel R. Russell), she's been asking me to buy her the 2nd book!

That's it! Thanks in advance for her "mommy/daddy"! ♥♥♥

The Little Girl's Favorite Necklace these Days

Check out the little girl's favorite necklace these days...


Hubby and I gave this to her for Christmas last year and she loves it so much. Yes, she loves books that's why.

Now I'm thinking of what to give her for Christmas this year. Another cute necklace or bracelet this time? We'll see!

Sharing a Song this SUNDAY: Who You Are - A Message to all Women.

This is not a song but I would like to share it here today for all the women out there...


"You are worth more than what you can imagine..."


"You deserve someone who will give up their life for you...


Beautiful. Amazing. Love, love this.

Quick Dinner Date at Poco Deli

After running a couple of errands for the little girl's school activity, Hubby and I decided to drop by Poco Deli for a quick dinner date. And since we were already there, we decided to order wine too.


I ordered our favorite cheese and sausage platter which went so well with the red wine.



For dinner, I had truffle mushroom pasta with bacon bits which was so yummy!


Hubby had Irish Beef Stew - This hearty dish is simmered for several hours in dark beer to bring out aunique caramel flavor, served with bacon rice.


It may be an impromptu dinner date but Hubby and I were able to bond and talk for a couple of hours. It was a great night! ♥

Poco Deli is located at 21 East Capitol Dr Kapitolyo, Pasig. For reservations, you may call (02) 477-4332.

Preparing a Child for a Visit to the Dentist

Visiting the dentist can be a scary endeavor, especially for a child who has never gone there before. However, it does not have to be too traumatic. Preparation is the key, and helping your child feel secure at a young age can help make the necessary appointments in life more pleasant. Genesis Dental of Salt Lake is one of many places you can explore with your child to prepare him or her for the experience
ahead.

Videos and Other Media

Did you know that there are several videos on YouTube that can help prepare a child for his visit to the dentist? Many dentists have discovered that by making their office seem exciting and fun, their patients are less likely to have a stressful experience while they are there. Through marketing and advertising, parents and their children can watch entertaining videos on what they can expect at their check-up. Some video clips show how nervous a child is at the beginning of a visit, and then is led to believe that the office visit is not so bad after all. Some of these clips are cartoons that children will have an interest in seeing in order to prepare them for their visit.

Exciting Offices

Many offices offer a variety of neat things kids can do while they are waiting to see the dentist. They have colorful paintings on the wall or fun entertainment available. Showcasing this excitement is something that marketers can do to promote their office. Marketers show how exciting the dentist’s chair can be—it moves up and down and there is often a movie up above on the ceiling where a child can watch a comforting cartoon. Offices often explain that the dentist is just there to count their teeth and clean them. Once the work is done, children and other patients are likely to receive a free gift or toy to take home with them. The best way to prepare your child for a check-up is to reassure them that you will be there with them. Companies like Genesis Dental of Salt Lake allow parents to sit in with their child while any work is being done on their mouth.
