Superbook is super back! Superbook Season 4 on ABS CBN every Sunday morning
As children, my brothers and I enjoyed watching Superbook cartoons on television. I must say that aside from the Church and our parents, Superbook cartoons played a big role in teaching us Christian values by telling Bible stories in a way that’s enjoyable and understandable for little children. When I found out that my favorite…

Don’t miss PETA’s Charot play
Being a big fan of Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) after watching the popular Rak of Aegis play three years ago, I didn’t think twice when my sis in law invited us to watch Charot. Charot is a Filipino colloquial term that means “just kidding”. A comedy intelligently written, Charot gave me the dose of…

Father’s Day Celebration Ideas
Though some of them might be allergic to cleaning baby’s poop, Dads will always have a special spot in the hearts of children. It’s amazing how they can smoothly turn from being a serious working dad to a funny Sesame Street-sounding creature who can tickle (sometimes literally) the little one’s fancy. It’s heartwarming how, despite…
Sharing the meatier and cheesier McSpaghetti meal with my family
Eating spaghetti brings happy memories to me. Well, that’s obviously because as a 90s kid, I grew up in a generation whose kiddie birthday parties were never complete without a spaghetti (plus hotdog with mallows on a stick). So it’s amazing how a simple plate of spaghetti can trigger so much joyful nostalgia. Now that…
