Give in to Giving this Christmas (Part 2)

Previous entry: Give in to Giving this Christmas (Part 1)

Before we rush out to begin yet another coffee overdose session, let us get to know the twelve organizations that you can support this Yuletide Season:

1) Kagabay - stands for Kababaihan Gabay sa Bayan is an organization that helps women improve on their livelihood skills and in the process empowers them as well.

2) Caritas Manila - this is the leading social arm of the Archdiocese of Manila and is geared toward total human development for the urban poor.

3) PAWS

4) Bahay Tuluyan - is an NGO established to help street children who are seen in the red light district of Malate.

5) Haribon - is dedicated to the conservation of the Philippine biodiversity

6) Cartwheel Foundation

7) Kythe

8) Autism Society of the Philippines (ASP) - is a group who helps patients with Autism and empowers them to become self-reliant, productive and socially accepted members of the community.

9) Philippine Cerebral Palsy - assists and aids cerebral palsy patients in the country.

10) Philippine Band of Mercy - provides help to Filipinos disfigued at birth with the opportunity to avail of medical help and support for reconstruction, rehabilitation and medical consultation.

11) Resources for the Blind - has set up a center that ensures that all blind students have access to all the same information that the sighted students have in order for a successful integration into a regular school someday.

and last but never the least...

12) The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) - has been relentlessly instilling a culture of corporate citizenship in its member-companies. It continues to deliver long-term business interests side by side improving the lives of the Filipinos.

So what are you waiting for?

Tis is definitely the season of loads of coffee drinking. From the elegant-looking planners of the Green Siren to CBTL's notebooks for a very good cause, it looks like all of Manila (and the entire Philippines) will be wide awake this Christmas Season.

Ho Ho Ho!!!

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

Taste of Royalty : Caviar Pie by Kamikalu

Image
From the name itself -- Caviar Pie -- immediately brings forth the feeling of being part of the higher social class where women and men would gather (pre-pandemic, of course) to socialize over expensive wine and cocktails and enjoy hors d'oeuvres served in small containers or on top of the daintiest crackers or crostinis. If we go back in time, it's giving me images of being one of the ladies of the Bridgerton  families as they would be waiting in their sitting room and would lady-likely spread just the right amount of Caviar Pie on top a piece of crackers. Forgive me as I was obviously Netflix bingeing all year thus the multiple reference to some of Netflix' biggest shows. If you haven't watched Bridgerton, well then, I highly recommend for you to do so.  Okay, going back to Caviar Pie . This is probably one of my favorite snack to have. It's simple to make but what makes it special are the premium ingredients found inside. In fact, it's like the classier, ver

Manoy Roast: Delicious Chicken and Frozen Meals

I've mentioned that Yaya M has left us already and if there's one big challenge that majority of the households are currently facing is the lack of good, reliable help. When a helper leaves, it's harder now to hire a new one simply because you have to take all the precautionary measures before she actually starts work and that means having to do the recommended 2 weeks quarantine, swab test and all the checks. The worst thing is after going through all that, you then realize that the helper falls short of your expectations or worst, she would come up with whatever excuse to leave right away *sigh*. We are lucky though that despite the countless number of undesirable ones who have given all the excuses in lies in the books, we have found good reliable ones who are truly blessings in our household.  I remembered when Yaya M first left us and we had R with us here at home. We would help out to make the workload lighter for her. For instance, we would take care of cooking to al
