Vegetable Salad for the Kids
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 15th, 2011
Ever tried letting kids eat their vegetables? Talk about a challenge! I used to trick my kids into eating their veggies by cutting it really small and covering it with lots of rice before feeding them! Just a small peak of the color green on their spoon would be chaotic! ...still, it doesn't hurt to try, and we did just that! We tried to let our kids eat their healthy vegetables by having a vegetable salad making activity in class! They had a ...Read More » Tags

Face of Shapes
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 12th, 2011
Playing around with shapes can be a lot of fun! Children are able to exercise their imagination skills and come up with a variety of pictures using nothing but basic shapes! Shapes can be useful and fun, but teachers have to be careful as to how complex the activity will be depending on the age of the kids. When my tutee was just 6 years old, she came home complaining that she had no idea what her math homework was about. Apparently, her teach...Read More » Tags

Warm Up with Some Stone Soup
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 9th, 2011
Ever heard of the story Stone Soup? I hear there are different versions of it, but I've only heard a few. My favorite version would be that by Ann McGovern because it simple depicts a young man outwitting the older woman. It does not really show that anyone was being boastful or mean. Warm up this winter season with a bowl of stone stoup! Several kids enjoy this story. Some would really think that it was magic that turned the stone into soup,...Read More » Tags

Ice Scramble for the Kids
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 6th, 2011
Ice scramble is a famous ice-based treat here in the Philippines. It is usually topped with various flavorings like milk, marshmallows and chocolate syrup. It started around 10 years ago and was only being sold by vendors along the street, today however, it can be found not only in almost every street corner but in almost every mall! Most Filipinos, including myself, really enjoy this yummy treat. Even our toddlers were already familiar with i...Read More » Tags

I can’t load my phone ‘coz I’ve “exceeded the number of reloads”
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 5th, 2011
I've been using Globe Telecom for more than 10 years as my cellphone provider. Regardless of the many benefits and outstanding services the network has, there will always be a few tweaks every now and then. One of those tweaks happened to me today. I bought a 300 peso call card from a nearby store. I've been buying call cards from them for 5 years or so. I try loading it, and after I've entered the call card number and pin, the computer oper...Read More » Tags

Yummy Fruit Kebab!
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 5th, 2011
Most children love eating fruits, but adding a little twist to the fruits makes the experience even better for them! For our theme on food, we decided to make some fruit kebabs with the kids. The term "kebab" is a Persian or Indian term that means on a stick or skewer. This is usually meant for their famous chicken kebabs and the like. In our case, we decided to use fruits! - What you will need: At least 5 kinds of fruits Barbecue s...Read More » Tags

Happy New Year everyone! 2010 is over, so forget all the pains and misfortune that may have happened then... it's time to move on! For the first blog of the year, I've decided to share a blog a friend of mine wrote. She wrote this note a few months after giving birth to her 3rd child.

Discounted Dinner at Spiral Buffet c/o Cash Cash Pinoy
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 28th, 2010
Groupons (Group Coupons) is starting to gain fame in the Philippines, and websites are slowly getting in on the trend. The idea originated in America and I'm sure glad the Philippines is catching on. So how exactly does it work? Well, I'm not sure if you've noticed but buying stuff in bulk makes it cheaper! So rather than paying 20 pesos per roll of tissue paper, you can get 12 rolls for 100 pesos. Right? If only we had many many friends and ...Read More » Tags
