Thoughts, realizations and plans!



Everything has changed since the pandemic, the truth is we are all affected. It seems wearing masks, handwashing often, and disinfecting anything make our daily routine because we cannot see our enemy, the virus. And because we are following simple steps to make our lives safe and protected, little by little we managed the challenges that the pandemic brought to us. I remember, our family members change clothes immediately and take a bath whenever we are coming home from outside and we made sure everything is sanitized thoroughly, to be honest, we are not accepting visitors at that time because we are afraid of who might be the carrier, we don't know who will be the next and we don't want to that happen to anyone of us. 

Since the pandemic the economy, the businesses, and other individuals losses their jobs. All of us are affected, the reality is so heartbreaking because different small industries had no choice but to close their business. But, regardless of what had happened, people need to move and look forward. Because of the pandemic, there are people who found their talent, and their passion and started something to hold onto and not stop.

So many realizations from me and I think other people too, in a short period of time everything we have will be gone. People we love can leave us without a sign, we don't know until when our life is. One good thing that happened was there is still humanity people around the world are helping each other in a different ways they can.

One particular realization I thought of was to save and invest in things that will matter in the future. I need to give more importance to safety. Now, slowly our lives are going back to what it is but the world is different now and this is our new normal. many of us are adjusting.

I mentioned that I need to give more importance to safety and saving just in case of emergencies like what had happened. things will not be hard for my family that much. Anyway, so I stumbled upon this tool online that I can use for me to be able to buy the car I needed. Commuting is so hard and it's not safe especially after the pandemic most of us are still afraid of the virus. I thought it will be good for me to take a step. I am thinking of buying a brand-new or the used one what do you think's better? So I was saying, I just bookmarked this tool. Actually, it is a carpaymentcalculator.net where you can calculate how much your monthly payment is, everything I need to know is here and I can say it's accurate. Plus, the scheduling of payment is a superb feature for me, I don't wanna be late in paying. How I can I save while paying for a car, right? My computation in everything must be exact for me to be able to do that. I know, I can.


It's been a long day for me today, guess what I am now playing the car lightning race just found it today and love it. Maybe you should too, try it and let's forget about anything for just a moment. 

My kids will play too, I know for sure because they asked me what's the sound they heard. Anyway, let me know your thoughts about my post, and take care!

Protecting Skin

Last month my family and I went on a vacation trip. We had so much fun under the sun enjoying the sea and yes I still got sunburn after, even if I had reapplied too much sunscreen still not enough. So maybe I thought because of what I wore, my swimwear was not protecting my skin enough. 

I have two kids so obviously I find it hard to find the right kind of swimwear for me, well it's not only for me because I am the mother of our family buying swimwear for the whole family is one of my obligations too! Anyway, I'm going to talk about myself and what I wanted when purchasing. Back again last month, because of that incident. On our next vacation trip or on the next purchase of my swimwear I am gonna look for the ones that cover my skin enough and of course, will look good on me. 




So, just recently actually about last week. I found this site, Lyra Swim, it's an online store where you can buy swimwear and I am not talking about ordinary swimwear because I saw swimsuits that I'm thinking of last month. For women out there who are like me, you might find your next favorite swimwear here at LYRA modest swimwear you can find comfy swimwears that'll boost more of your confidence while doing activities outdoor or simply lying under the sun on the beach and not worrying about what you are wearing. Check out below some of the pieces from Lyra that I am eyeing for. The best part of choosing my next swimwear here is that the sizes are available from XS to XXL. Try browsing some of their collections too! 


SOFIA CROP - TROPICAL PINK

Accessorize a bit on your next trip and don't forget to look for the right and appropriate swimwear for you that will protect your skin and give you the comfort you're needed. As for me, I just learned a few things about swimwear and will definitely be picking what's best for a mom like me next time. 

Lastly, keep in mind that it's all about having fun and loving your own skin while caring for it.

Shapewear Choices

I love to wear that show my curvy body. It's like it gives me more confidence, I feel more beautiful and sexy. But, of course, sometimes there are dresses that won't agree with my decisions. After giving birth some of my clothes don't fit but that's okay because it is normal for our bodies as women. What I did was find a solution for myself to look and feel awesome in every clothes I wear. I am sharing what I am using and it's comfy, the best body shaper I have experienced.  I don't feel anything, and yes it's a thing for most ladies nowadays to buy theirs too!


  
This is the AirSlim® Barely-There Feels One-Piece Bodysuit from www.shapellx.com
features with breathable fabric that keeps you cool when you are wearing it if you are in-country like mine, this is a must-buy!


Our choices in fashion are different, but we all have in common and that is to feel comfortable when we wear the styles that we really like. In the growing market of fashion, companies are experimenting with new designs to cater to our needs.
Most women love to shop, for it's like therapy. When I am down or feeling blue sometimes when there's a store promotion or discount I always check out what's the new trend that suits my personality and mood. Most of my girlfriends love to wear shapewear, I think it's our common denominator. I think it's a must-have in our closet if you know what I mean. Shapewear developed throughout the decades, it's a growing trend in all ages. 

For casual day outfits, I love wearing jeans. My secret to a perfect fit is the shaper shorts. Look at the picture below, this one is from Shappellx the AirSlim® Lace Steel Boned Butt Enhancer effortlessly makes our thighs gorgeous and perfect, and yes it doesn't deform, and also it is anti-slip so no need to worry when wearing it. 


Lightweight fabrics materials are heaven, it is one of the qualities we are looking for when buying clothes or underwear. Thong shapewear is one of my wise choices, even recommended it to my friends because it really gives a comfortable feeling that you can move freely without worrying about any tags, or seamlines. 

For me, wearing shapewear is not about looking slim, but more about the comfort and confidence that it gives. So, it is better to learn the differences between the products if you are planning to buy, from the fabrics and all. It is good to be well-informed, do quick research, and read reviews too! 

Let me know if you love wearing shapewear too in the comments =)

SM: Creating shared value through tech-voc education

One of the flagship programs of SM Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the SM group, is its scholarship program. Aside from the college education offerings, the program also provides venues for students who would like to pursue a career in the skilled labor industry.

Hands-on training of SM tech-voc scholars

The gradual reopening of the economy not just in the country, but around the world, brings hope to more job opportunities for Filipinos who lost their jobs because of the health crisis. Indeed, the support for individuals eyeing to be part of the skilled industry is needed now more than ever.
It was in this light when SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), together with SM Foundation (SMFI), Don Bosco One TVET Phils. Inc. and the city government of Pasay partnered to give educational support to 20 deserving youth coming from Pasay. To date, SMFI has already produced more than 4,500 tech-voc graduates who are now gainfully employed.


A dream to be fulfilled
One of the current SM tech-voc scholars from Pasay is Stephen Parina. His dream is to put up his own automotive shop since aside from his interest in cars and motorcycles, he intends to uplift the economic status of his family. Both of his parents are temporary employees at the Pasay City Hall.

“Nakita ko sa Facebook post ng SM Foundation na nandun ang aking gustong course kaya dali-dali akong pumunta sa city hall ng Pasay para alamin ang mga detalye nito at kinabukasan ay nagpasa na ako agad ng mga requirements,” said Stephen, who is now studying Automotive Mechanic course at the Don Bosco Makati.

“Gusto kong matuto kung paano mag ayos ng mga sasakyan at makatapos ng pag-aaral dahil hirap kami sa aming pamumuhay. Alam ko na makakatulong ang edukasyon, kagaya ng techvoc upang matupad ang aking pangarap na makapagpatayo ng sarili kong automotive shop. Magiging susi ito upang mai-angat ko ang antas ng pamumuhay ng aking pamilya” he added.

“Taos pusong pasasalamat sa SM at sa Sy family dahil nabigyan nyo ako ng pagkakataon na makabalik muli sa pag aaral. Hinding hindi ko ito malilimutan. Dadalhin ko ito hanggang sa aking pag tanda,” Stephen said.

The importance of Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

File photo: Flooding brought about by Typhoon Ondoy 2009



A person's safety during calamities is mainly dependent on their community's disaster preparedness. No matter how ready they are for all possible catastrophic scenarios, every bit of preparation can go down the drain if their community cannot respond effectively to such events.

It is why a community-based disaster risk reduction and management plan (CBDRRMP) is essential. It places the responsibility of being prepared for calamities and other emergencies on the community as a whole, ensuring that organizations, households, and individuals can work together in making their community more resilient in the face of disaster.

CBDRRMP is important, especially for countries highly vulnerable to disasters, such as the Philippines. Situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire and typhoon belt, the Philippines is frequented by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and typhoons respectively. The country ranked 9th in the world in terms of vulnerability to calamities in the 2020 World Risk Index.



One of the most common events experienced by the Philippines is flooding, which underscores the importance of effective floodwater management. There are many ways that local government units are doing this. Efforts range from structural measures such as sizeable underground drainage systems, floodways, pumping stations, flood warning systems, and urban greening to non-structural measures such as minimizing plastic waste, a primary culprit in urban flooding.
