School is over! Graduation dinner and parties are done. Summer vacation is here!
After the graduation and recognition days of my children, they keep on telling they would like to head to the beach. But outdoor activities, especially the beach, is not my thing. I would rather stay inside the house than burn myself under the sun. I know how excited my kids are to hit the road and dive on the cool waters and will be saddened to hear this from me. How can I disappoint my honor students? This is the only gift they are asking from me.
I asked some friends how can I enjoy the activities under the sun without worrying about the scourging heat and its ill effects to the skin. They told me to get the right protection for the skin to get lots of fun under the sun.
One of my friends introduced Ultra Screen MD Sunblock to me. He told me that this latest skin protection product from Kohl Industries Corporation can help us stay protected so I do not need to worry against the harmful effects of excessive exposure to the sun.

When my kids saw the movie trailer of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax movie, they all insisted to see it. After doing my research, I realized what caught their attention. Lorax looked like their favorite local character Iglot! Similarly, Lorax is also a forest creature.
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax: An IMAX 3D Experience® is the fruit of collaboration of the creators of Despicable Me and the imagination of Dr. Seuss. The film is the third feature created by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment after Despicable Me and Hop.
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax tells the story of the Lorax, a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
The film features the vocal talents of an all-star cast, including Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift and Betty White. Danny DeVito lends his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms voices the enigmatic Once-ler.
Fresh out of the university, I received an invitation to teach in one of the colleges in the city. It was a newly-founded school in another city where my parents grew up. I was so excited because I felt I was so fortunate to land on a job just even if I have not yet received my college diploma.
I taught in that school for two years and I admit I enjoyed it so much that I did not notice it has been two years. It was during my second year in the academe when I realized I have the calling for the academe. I worked for my graduate degree and moved on to teach in a university in Manila when family got in the way.
I gave birth to a baby who needs special care and we cannot find a nanny for him. Hence, I gave up my teaching career and moved to the call center industry so that I can take care of him during the day while my husband is at work. When he arrives, I will prepare for work and it will be his turn to attend to our son. It was a difficult phase for us.
