Ready Steady Go Kids Philippines

In this modern age physical play is almost non existent.  What we used to do as kids - run around and playing with other kids are now replaced with watching videos on an iPad, playing games with handheld gadgets.  My personal preference is that I like my kids to be active and know how to interact and socialize and we practice just that.  I do not judge other parents when they decide on giving their kids iPads or handheld  gadgets because each parent and each child is different - who am I to compare or judge - I respect that decision of theirs.



Last week, I was introduced to Ready Steady Go Kids Philippines which is a franchise from Australia's Ready Steady Go Kids program.  Simply put the concept is that RSGK uses sports as means to teach kids life skills and other skills such as listening, following directions, concentration, numbers, shapes, and colors.

I found it really interesting because the concept is new (for me, ha) and I for one believe so much in physical play and activity as a means to learning.  They use 10 different sports to introduce to the kids simple skills.  What hooked me on the concept is that the kids can get to try different sports in a term, which normally you would need to enroll in separate occasions.  The kids get the opportunity to be exposed to certain sports that is not normally available or generally taught like rugby, cricket and T-ball.


I met the people behind Ready Steady Go Kids Philippines - JP and Meriel and they are very passionate about this and I am very much impressed with their knowledge on the program and also their wanting to share to others the benefits of learning through sports.  It was discussed that there are places that opened up which encourages physical activity - but there was none that used sports as means to teach skills - and I think this is their advantage in the market.

Enrollment for their 2nd Term is now open and is set to start middle of October.  So hurry and inquire now!  To learn more on Ready Steady Go Kids Philippines - visit their Facebook page and their webiste http://readysteadygokids.com.ph/  They have trial classes available, but please do call first to schedule.   You may call them at (02) 631-1497 or shoot them an email at info@readysteadygokids.com.ph

To JP and Meriel and the whole Ready Steady Go Kids Philippines team - THANK YOU for bringing this to our country!!  I am looking forward to joining your class soon!!

I will be sharing my experiences on this blog after our trial class, so stay tuned!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
