Techy Sean

by Jade on September 19, 2011

Oh my goodness, can you believe September is almost over ? With a very active baby, time surely goes by so fast. Sean is 9 months now, in case you haven’t seen my update over at Momma Finally. He also already got 2 teeth and has been cranky lately but not not as grumpy as when he got his first tooth.

Ahh so many milestones!! Sometimes I wish I can capture every second of his life but that’s just impossible!

He loves playing with my mobile phone and when he sees my laptop he won’t stop until he’s able to tap the keyboard. I am sure he will be as techy like us when he grows up…next thing you know he’d be asking us for a black berry tablet

Mother Earth’s Tantrums

by Jade on September 18, 2011

Mother Earth must be really hurt by all the years of constant abuse that climate changes have now become so erratic and disasters beset us all around the globe.It really seems much like when a child throws a tantrum, screaming and hurling objects in random, unceasingly and unstoppable.
Nations have amplified security measures and emergency procedures are always kept up-to-date. Though we are somewhat reassured by the safety measures in place, we are always fearful that we ourselves might need medical air evacuation or other emergency response.

To lessen our anxiety, let us make an effort to be well-informed of emergency procedures and our local area’s protocol for calamities. Also, let us do our part to appease Mother Earth by not contributing to the pollutants that have now swathed our green world.

Purify Tap Water To Make It Safe For Drinking

by Jade on September 17, 2011

Gone are the days when it was safe to drink water straight from the tap. With all the pollutants in our environment, one risks acquiring amoebiasis, diarrhea, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and other water-borne diseases by drinking tap water.It has thus become common practice to have purified water delivered to our homes to ensure that we are safe from these diseases. Some even refuse to drink water other than the bottled distilled ones available in stores.

A more practical and eco-friendly alternative to this is to install water purifiers in the kitchen tap.Th ese purify water through reverse osmosis making water virtually contaminant free and safe for drinking. More importantly, you don’t contribute to plastic consumption of bottled water.

Paper and Pencils for a Cause

by Jade on September 13, 2011

THIS IS A STICKY POST.

Please scroll down for new posts.

When we were still living in Singapore, I joined a group called FreeCycle to give household items we don’t use anymore. I have seen that people where also offering school items. So I though hey the local elementary school where we have our plantation could really use these items. So I started collecting these school items for the kids and we sent boxes of the supplies to the school. The children, teachers and parents were all so happy to receive this unexpected surprise.

Now that we are living here in the Philippines, we give every year a cash prize for the valedictorian at the end of every school year. This way the kids will  be encouraged to work hard to get a reward for their hard work.

My son is turning one this December, and I thought of doing something extra nice for the kids of the school again. I hope to give them gifts that they can use for school. There are 186 students in this school.

Can you help me make them smile this December?

You can help Paper and Pencils for a Cause by:

1. Sending paper, pencils, pens and other school supplies. You can also send your unwanted but usable supplies like bags, pens, notepads etc. Your not only helping the children but you are also helping the planet by letting somebody else use what you cannot use.

2. Spreading the word about this cause. You can blog about this, share it on your Facebook wall/ page. and/or twitter, you can also add the badge above to your blog sidebar.

3. Send financial donations. Your donation would make a huge difference in their education and their lives. The money that we will receive will be used to buy new supplies and to cover the shipping cost of the supplies to the schools. If there is some extra money left, we will do a feeding program as well for the little ones.

Just a few dollars will go a long way in helping these children. You can send your donation to paypal id: jade.samson (at) ymail (dot) com
