Book Reco/Review: Wow! Said the Owl (by Tim Hopgood)
Too many nights we have read “Goodnight Moon” and “Where the Wild Things Are” and it gets pretty boring.
I have been reading these books to my children since they were inside my belly and have practically memorized them and can recite the texts in my sleep.Continue reading“Book Reco/Review: Wow! Said the Owl (by Tim Hopgood)”
A golden experience at Golden Prince Hotel and Suites (Cebu City)
We found something special in Cebu. It’s the Golden Prince Hotel, located on Acacia Street – at the corner of Archbishop Reyes Avenue – and is completely unlike other properties who boost of this and that amenity to entice you to stay; perhaps it is free Wi-Fi, or your kids …
Book Recommendation: Ikaw Ba Ang Akong Inahan? (Kayo Ba ang Nanay Ko?)
Managing a multi-lingual household means reading books in different languages. Storybooks in the Binisayang Sugbuanon language are mainstays in our bookshelves at home. One of my favorites is the big book version of “Ikaw Ba Ang Akong Inahan?” This is the Binisayang Sugbuanon version of “Kayo Ba Ang Nanay Ko?” that is written by …
The Joy of Jollibee: Why your child needs to experience the Mini Managers Camp at least once
It has been three months since Nicholas and Antoinette participated in the Jollibee Mini-Managers Camp at the SM Consolacion branch. Yet up to this day, they still say, “Jolly morning!

Toddler Storytime kicked off last April 2018 in time for the 99th anniversary of the Cebu City Public Library. Since then, I have been on a trial-and-error mode in trying to figure out which songs and dances to perform and which books to read to an audience composed of toddlers …

BookReco: Ang Mainggiting Kuting (The Envious Kitten)
It has been a while, two months to be exact, since the last post was published on this page. I apologize for my laziness. My life has been filled with so much professional and personal responsibilities, most of which are self inflicted, so I had to take a back step …
BookReco: The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth
I have never read this version of “The Gingerbread Man” by Jim Aylesworth until last April 21 during the Summer Saturday Storytime session at the Children’s Corner of the Cebu City Public Library (CCPL). Aylesworth’s take on the classic story is a rhythmic masterpiece that is best enjoyed by children …
Book Review: Ang Pambihirang Sombrero (The Amazing Hat)
Ang Pambihirang Sombrero (The Amazing Hat) is my recent favorite storybook from writer-illustrator Jose Miguel “Jomike” Tejido’s creative endeavors. I was hooked to “Dindo Pundido” when the twins were barely a year old. Ang Pambihirang Sombrero tells the story of a girl named Mia, who loves old things. One day, …
