Raising children entails a lot of preparation and working knowledge on the part of parents, teachers, and guardians - from dealing with temper tantrums, to selecting the best schools, to even choosing the right play dates for them.

Focusing on equipping educators and parents for this tough job, Educare 2013, a two-day interactive conference on raising and educating young children, will be held on Sept. 13-14, at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. Educare will bring to parents, school administrators, teachers, and other people who work with children the latest information on early childhood education and development from renowned experts from here and abroad.

The main speaker for this year's Conference is Ms. Ling Yuan - a key figure in the Singapore Ministry of Education. Ms. Yuan will focus on the topics of "Sizzling Science for Young Scientist" and "Making Math Manageable". Other tracks such as "Planting the Seeds for Lifelong Learning Skills," "Infusing Technology in the Curriculum," "Creative Projects and Strategies for Early Childhood Education Practitioners" and "Classroom Management Solutions" will also be facilitated by other high calibre speakers and early childhood experts.

Project Pie : Where You Can Be a Pizza Master.... or Monster!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I'm a pizza monster in real life!

When no one is looking I could eat an entire pizza pie in just a few minutes, even when I'm not hungry. It's the only meal that I order, or eat first even when there's several choices available.

Rice is the staple food of Filipinos but I quickly take rice for granted when there's pizza around. That's probably why if you will browse through my other articles here in my blog, you'll see a lot of pizza places I've tried - within a few days from each other.....hehehe.

A friend of mine probably realized that so she recommended a visit to Project Pie - the newest pizza place located along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City that will surely spark a lot of interest from pizza lovers.
