5 months ago I have shown my apprehensions on VMobile, click here. It took me 5 full months in order to finally convince myself to listen to what the guys from the Las Pinas center have to say about it. Told myself that I have the extra money, why not invest it and give VMobile a try? After all, every business is a gamble.

So off I went to Subic yesterday to listen to their presentation. Guess what? It was so impressive that I found myself investing even more. What’s interesting about it is, the guys I was with were all self-made businessmen, not just fly-by-night-scammers-waiting-for-their-next-victim type of people.

I realized right then and there that I invested in the right business, now it is up to me if I will give it my all or not. You see, every business has to be nurtured in order for it to grow and prosper and this includes VMobile, it will give you back the same amount of love that you exerted. So amazing right?

Every little move matters, so  like Ship-smart small moves, I am starting to make small moves in order for my VMobile business to grow.

My mind is popping so many ideas that I couldn’t keep up! hahaha Yes, that’s how amazing the Vmobile team in Las Pinas are.

What makes my daughter’s heart leap for joy? It’s art materials. She is the type who can sit for hours if given the right art materials. Like most parents, I am also proud of my daughter’s achievements and would take pride in witnessing her learning milestones.  Just imagine her surprise when I handed her art materials from Enfakid this morning, it was priceless

We always make it a point supply her with all the materials she needs to fuel her passion. She has this book which she uses to draw and paint whenever she likes it.

If you are a proud mother like me and has a daughter who’s fond of drawing, you have a chance to win a trip to Singapore, a collaboration between Enfakid A+ and National Geographic for Kids!

Calling all moms and dads who have kids ages 3-7 years old. Submit  submit their illustrations of anything fascinating they learned from the January-February issue of National Geographic Little Kids (included with Smart Parenting magazine), or from the website http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/littlekids/.

The entries themselves should be submitted on http://www.seewhattheylearn.com where they will be displayed for public voting on the site until March 30, 2012. After the votes are in, the top 10 entries from participants 3-4 years old, and from participants 5-7 years old, will be shorlisted. A panel of judges will then select the two (2) Grand Prize Winners from the top 10 of each age category.

My daughter Yona is no doubt an artist, she just needs to be nudged from time to time and remind her that she’s doing good. Her shyness is eating the best of her

A few days ago, we were invited to try the programs of Global Art, a world-class art school. My daughter was so excited that she didn’t think twice in attending it despite the distance. So from Cavite, we traveled all the way to Greenhills, San Juan to meet fellow moms and their kids. The visit was so worth it because I learned that she really has a strong inclination towards art and crafts.

Here are some of her artworks:

Yona at work!

Global Art courses are curriculum based and student-centered. Each school follows a syllabus designed to instill the skill to children and gradually introduce them from simple to complicated themes. The core program has several levels:

• Intermediate Level for ages 10-12
• Advanced Level for ages 13 and above

Aside from these Global Art also offers the following courses:

• Acrylic painting

8. Soon to Open: Fun Ranch, Tiendesitas (726-0435)

I am inviting fellow mommies to visit any of Global Art’s branches and try any of their courses. It’s really worth it

When I was little, I used to wonder how the boy could play this rolling little thing in a piece of string. Then my uncles  said it’s call YOYO. Back then, yoyos were made of wood, lovingly handcrafted by their fathers or anyone older than them. Then,  when I was about 9, Coca-Cola gave out Coke, Royal and Sprite yoyos. I completed all 3 but never learned to play other tricks, just the usual way in playing one.

Up until now, I am still in awe whenever I see Yoyo Masters play various tricks with their toys. It’s a skill that I will never learn based on my personal assessment  LOL So in order for my kids to learn this skill, I’ll try to buy them yoyos from yomega, a reliable company who manufactures high-quality skill toys for kids and kids at heart.

After almost 3 months of using Lana’s baby bag, nasira na siya. I got so upset because it wasn’t cheap at all So now I am looking for the best  baby bag that I can get for my little girl, it has to be roomy yet handy like a yoga bag so I can easily carry it whenever I am with her.

I know there are a lot of online sellers out there so if you have any idea, please post the link in the comments section.

Thanks much =)

I have been getting invites from friends to try investing on Vmobile. I am skeptic, yes I am because I’ve heard a lot of not-so-good news about multi-level marketing since I was 14. Having heard of aunts and moms of friends getting lured into believing that they will double and triple their money once they invested on these programs but ended up drowning in debt and some in jail makes me want to cringe. No I won’t make the same mistake. I’ll earn money the hard way, no easy money for me.

Then here comes VMobile. A lot of my friends believe on it, rich and the not-so-rich alike are saying that it’s really true. I want to give it a try and as long as I’d get back my 4K pesos investment, I guess I would be okay with that.

So how true is this? I hope NO ONE replies with links saying that my I will earn 30,000 in a week. That’s BS. It’s only POTENTIAL earning, not a guarantee that I would really earn that much. If that’s the case then I’ll just sit and buy gold bars and be merry for the rest of my life.

So Vmobile, how true are you?
