United Nations School Celebration 2010

UN Celebration

My kids' school celebrated the founding anniversary of United Nations with an exhibit and music from different parts of the world. The event highlights the showing of "Aladdin Around the World" showcasing different National Dances.

The stage, the sounds and lighting, and of course the performances are all impressive.

All grade level students showcased national dances from Scotland, Japan, Spain and the Philippines. The applause after every dance presentation was energetic and inspiring.

The preschoolers took part in the "Parade of Nation" as they wear their assigned costumes. My son represented the Philippines and he carried the Philippine flag with much pride.

Everyone look so cute in their costumes and they all joined in singing the song, "It's a Small World."

The UN Celebration ended with the entire school student community carrying flags as they sing the song, "We are the World."

"We Are The World"

United Nations (UN) founded in 1945 is an international organization which aims to promote cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and achievement of world peace. 

Every October, various schools and learning institutions across the world celebrates United Nations Day to help students understand and appreciate cultural diversity.

It had been a wonderful and fulfilling school activity. It's my kids' and my youngest sisters first performance at their big school and we're all proud seeing them dance and sing on stage.

Toy Kingdom Warehouse Sale 2010

November 5, 2010 - November 7, 2010
SM Megamall
5th Floor, Megatrade Halls 1 and 2

It's the 4th Toy Kingdom Warehouse Sale at SM Megamall's Megatrade Halls 1 and 2. Enjoy up to 70% off on selected items.

November 5 is exclusive to SM Advantage, SM Prestige, Toy Kingdom card holders and selected credit card holders. From November 5-6, the sale would be open to all shoppers. Card and credit card payments are accepted.

Last year, we were able to bought my kid's Ride-On Hummer at a 50% discount and lots of toys that we've given as Christmas gifts. That's great savings and value for our money.

Prepare your Christmas gift list and do your Christmas shopping at Toy Kingdom, but expect lots of people and long lines at the cashier. It would be better if you'll come earlier.

I really get excited with sale events and toys. Now, I can't wait to buy toys for my kids, nieces and nephews! 

See you there!

Planning Our Next Ocean Adventure Trip

It's been two years since our family enjoyed our Ocean Adventure trip, an open-water marine park located at Subic Bay. It's a trip that I've won from Cartoon Network's contest that comes with an overnight stay at Camayan Beach Resort.

Now, we're planning to go back since I've won 4 tickets to Ocean Adventure again! This time the tickets came from Gadgets Magazine. When? Probably by January 2011. 



Can't wait to see my kids, niece and nephew explore the Ocean Discovery Aquarium as they see marine animals and enjoy the Dolphin and Friends show and the Sea Lion Marine Patrol.



Thanks for the tickets Gadgets Magazine!

Home Decorating With White Furniture

A furniture can make or break a room. With so many styles, designs and color choices available, decorating or renovating your home can be a challenging yet rewarding task. Most people usually consider the colors they like, or colors that suits their current furniture. 

In buying a furniture, you might consider a contemporary style by choosing a white furniture for it blends well with any wall shade.

I haven't entered a house with a white sofa or a white dining table. I only get to see pieces of white furniture in home magazines. But I find the simplicity of the color white to be synonymous with elegance and sophistication. I'm amazed at how it can accentuate the rooms of a house.

White furniture gives a room a fresh, well-designed ambiance. More than that, it makes every room accessory stand out. White tables, chairs, shelves, and sofas can easily be mixed with various styles and different color ranges. A white bookcase that is placed in a child's room gives a peacefully clean and uncluttered appearance.

The beauty about white furniture is the way it makes the room look a bit brighter, larger and more spacious. You'll be fascinated by the great difference it can make, without making the room look sterile.

In choosing a white furniture, consider a well-established and respected furniture online store that specializes in quality white furniture and accessories, like New England Lifestyle.
