Quiet Journeys

I love the theater. I haven't tried it but I know how cool it is.  You just don't get to act and portray a role when you're there, but the confidence it teaches you is really something else.  And that's exactly the vision of Sacred Heart School Makati and Helen O'Grady Academy who teamed up recently.  December 16, 2013 was "the" day of "The Secret of Christmas Eve". It was held at the 7th floor of the CAP building in Amorsolo corner Rufino streets, Makati. Its main objective was to showcase the different talents of the Sacred Heart School's students. But before the big day, we got the chance to watch their rehearsal.  From my observation,  the children had a grand time dancing, singing, and delivering their lines.  I never saw panic nor heard them stammer with their lines. All of us were actually in awe as these kids performed so effortlessly. Their confidence were just overflowing. And I want to congratulate He...

We arrived as a team of bloggers with one companion each. I brought along my son with me who's at first timer at Zoocobia Fun Zoo in Clark, Pampanga. This will be my second time at Zoocobia but still I hunger for more fun, adventure, and knowledge that it can share with us.  But before we headed to the real thing, we had our lunch first and were given sometime to relax and rest before we proceeded to the tour prepared for us. After our sumptuous lunch, my son asked me if we can make a quick trip inside the Animal Bone and Skin Museum. He was so curious to see what's inside,so I accompanied him.  From the name itself, you could guess what the museum houses.
