Myth of the Human Body @ Taguig

This Saturday, March 5, my daughter will have an Immersion Activity. She together with the other 55 participants will visit the MYTH OF THE HUMAN BODY EXHIBIT at The Fort Taguig and the SCIENCE DISCOVERY CENTER in Pasay. I researched about the exhibit and found it very educational for my daughter to witness. The real human body samples were made possible thru “plastination” which was developed by German anatomist Gunther von Hagens. It is an innovative anatomical technology where specimens are permanently preserved while retaining the texture of the skin tissues and the microscopic capillaries as if they were alive.

The MYTH OF THE HUMAN BODY EXHIBIT has become the most phenomenal and successful exhibit with over 20 million viewers all over the world. It will run until April 17, 2011.

Star Power winner Angeline Quinto

And ABS-CBN’s “Star Power: Sharon’s Search for Next Female Pop Star” winner is ANGELINE QUINTO. The first grand winner got the highest percentage of 90.88% on the singing competition from text, online voting and from the judges. She won P1 million, an entertainment showcase from Sony, diamond jewelry set, 1 year managing contract with Star Magic, a recording contract with Star Records and a brand new car.

Quinto once lost her dream in entering the music industry to Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo in the singing competition “Star for A Night” in 2002. Now that she together with Krissel, Monica, K-La and Akiko will join “ASAP,” she was excited to work with Sarah Geronimo.

Parakeet Lovebirds

Last Valentine’s Day, I bought a pair of Parakeet Lovebirds for my kids. I teased them that I gave those birds so like them they will be friendly and sweet to each other. They got immediately my thoughts and laughed at it. But I am still giving them time to be at peace with each other, maybe 2 more years. Although my girl is 10 and my boy is 6, most of the time they quarreled. Right now I am training my eldest to be more forgiving, understanding and loving to her brother because that’s how a little boy behaved.

I know there are many parents out there who can relate to me but we all know that time will come where there will be peace in our homes. Happy Valentine’s Day world!

Death sentence for 3 Pinoys in China

I am really sad hearing news about our fellow Filipinos who are now in death row at China being accused of drug trafficking. On the other hand, I admired Jason Ordinario in penetrating the West African drug syndicate as authorities’ deep penetration agent (DPA) in order to prove the innocence of her sister Sally Ordinario-Villanueva. May all Filipinos pray hard that the government of China will commute the sentence into life imprisonment instead of death. They are not organizers, financiers or even heads of syndicates to get such sentence.

MTAP-Rizal 2nd Elimination Round

Tomorrow, February 10, is the second elimination round of my daughter for the MTAP Division Level – Rizal. As usual, I will be there to give my support win or loss. Math is her favorite subject and I know being chosen for such competition is one way for her to improve her learning and gain experiences.
It’s gonna be tough round since this time they will have to answer questions under limited time (15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute). Also, she had many projects and school activities recently and was not able to devote much time to prepare for the elimination round. She told me that she was quite nervous so I boost her morale and said never pressure herself just relax, understand well the question, apply what you learn and answer it the best as you can.

It was her first time and we’re both happy that she made it on the first round. Maybe I will enhance her mathematical skills in preparation for 2012 MTAP. More luck baby for tomorrow’s MTAP!

Farewell Secretary Angelo Reyes

Amidst the controversial issue of massive corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the death of former DND Secretary Angelo Reyes last February 8 indeed puzzled many Filipinos. Why a certain bemedaled general decided to take his own life? That is one question that can only be best answered by the late secretary.

I would have understand the deep sadness and mourning of his family after hearing news that he chose to end his life rather than to divulge what he knew and the persons involved in the corruption issue. Losing a love one is so painful.

I only pray for truth to come out in the end of this issue. May other people being involved in the issue have the courage to face the truth because the truth will always haunt them, and saying the truth is the only way that will set them free.

My deepest condolences to the Reyes Family.
