We got our Batanes tour package when we attended the Travel Mart Expo at the Mall of Asia last September 2. Our plan was to get a tour package for Coron, Palawan - our favorite island in the country. But when we saw a promo tour for Batanes being offered by IBS Tours and Travels'… Continue reading Our Batanes Tour Highlights
1. Kids have started using Wikahon to supplement their Filipino subject. For Ian, we opted to start with Wikahon Pre-A as he seems to find Wikahon-A a bit difficult. Luckily, a friend in our homeschooling community sold me a set from her big box designed for classroom (contains 5 sets). I love my homeschooling community!… Continue reading September Homeschooling Highlights
Don't hate yourself. You were once an ugly, shapeless mass that is now slowly developing into a masterpiece, being molded by maestro, YOU. You can't hate a work in progress. You can only admire the journey it took to be a masterpiece - the best version of you yet. Disclaimer: My advice below stems from… Continue reading How to Love and Take Care of Yourself: A Journey Towards Genuine Happiness
Have you ever gone to a natural history museum like the ones we have in the country, National Museum and NIGS museum? They're the best. At NIGS museum, my youngest son's favorite was the sand box! During the Geology, I also got to teach the kids how to break a rock using the sample pick.… Continue reading The Fabulos Scientist’s First Project Ever: The Rock Dig Kit
My kids enjoyed looking at the real-time monitoring of the weather at PAGASA Media Center. Your 30 Philippine pesos (about 60 US cents) will go far and your kids will learn a ton! Read below to find out how. Last August 29, our homeschooling group Sulit Tipid at Pinoy Homeschooling (STPH) decided to conduct a… Continue reading How to Take Your Kids to a Science Tour for Less

One of the perks of living close to the campus is the number of green space where kids can explore, play, and learn about the ecosystem. My kids have great textbooks in Science, I… Continue reading Ecosystem Study in UP – A Lesson Idea for Homeschooling Kids
Because the weather this month had been erratic and kids have been showing interest on how the weather is predicted, we created this Weather Station where they identify the relative temperature, amount of rain, cloud, sun, etc. This kind of activity covers both Science and spelling. 🙂 Since August is the month our country, the… Continue reading August Homeschooling Highlights
Unique chandelier at Boss Reuel Staycation Suites. ❤ Tagaytay City is probably one of the most-visited spots outside of Metro Manila due to its proximity, the chilly weather, the view of Taal Lake, and sumptuous beef bulalo which is available almost everywhere in the city. Our family's fondest memories with dad also happened in Tagaytay… Continue reading Boss Reuel Staycation Suites – Our Home When in Tagaytay
One of my realizations as first time homeschooling parent teacher is that Filipino, sadly, is the hardest to teach despite it being our native tongue at home. Unlike most families I meet in our community, we talk in Filipino more than half the time, speaking in our second language, English, only when our lessons are… Continue reading Unboxing Our Mini Wikahon-A
When I took up Geology, all I ever expected to experience was that I'd travel around, take rock samples, identify rock formations, measure faults and fractures, create geologic maps, and write reports. That's it. There won't be a lot of human interactions, at the personal level, whatsoever. Purely professional. No one was allowed to get… Continue reading Breaking My Prejudice Through Science in the Service of My People
