Chili's Reading Reopens

My family here in the Philippines and in Wisconsin love to eat a lot. This is one of the common things that the entire family agrees on. Whenever we go out and man our store, we always set a budget for food. It really drains us financially.

One of our nasty habits in dining is that we keep on ordering the same old food over and over again. Although we are adventurous in many ways, we do not want to eat something else that we are not certain of the taste. So, the waiters normally know our orders.

My kid is a big fan of great food too. He is quite selective with his choices. So, if he does not like the taste or the smell, we cannot possibly convince him to start or finish his meals. He is however, a big fan of chicken and nachos and fries while I love salads a lot.

Choosing the right restaurant is sometimes a struggle. So, we normally search on places where commendations are high. Chili's is one of the well -loved restaurants here in the Philippines. It operates in twenty seven (27) countries and with more than 190 franchises.

We recently known Chili's in Reading, UK had reopened after a fire consumed their kitchen last January 2009 but Reading Press Release said that this popular restaurant in UK had seized the opportunity and incorporated a much better kitchen equipment and technology to serve more great food.




I love their discount offers and meal selection from Chili's Vouchers. The family will surely love this new food experience. Should we go to Manila this year, we will visit this restaurant and try their meals.

Promises for Renewed Life and Hope

Do you have friends or family members who are addicted to drugs and alcohols. I had a fair share of stories to tell. Having known them makes me feel sorry for the dependents and the families as they too experience the ordeal of having an addict at home.

But, we should not outcast the users. And, since we love them that we don't want them to waste their life more, we provide means to help them move on and have a better life.

Addiction requires professional help. Good thing, there is drug treatment that specifically addresses the unique care needed by the dependent. It is a promise of renewed hope for the users and for the family who care and love a lot.

Soccsksargen Bloggers Hang Out in Genee's

Last Thursday morning, our community's Guru, Bariles, texted us to join him in a rendezvous in GenSan's new resto right in the very corner of where usual city gatherings are held. We right away, confirmed our attendance.

Busy picture taking and surfing!

I still had my classes until 7 pm, so my sister, Tammy and partner, waited for me to finish my work, and we headed straight to this new place. The resto was so welcoming with its very wide reception area. We spotted the group and the stories were endless. We missed their previous gathering in Grab a Crab, but, we enjoyed the night with the sumptous meals of Genee's.

The Soccsksargen Blogger Cast at Genee's

We wondered where they got the name from "Generals," referring to the people of Gensan. But, since the word connotes a masculine tone, they named the place Genee to sound sweet and relaxing. They hold beautiful pictures of the Generals, and I felt like I was in a museaum! The place has WIFI services, so we had the chance to dine and surf the net.COOL!!!

We got to meet other bloggers who unfortunately missed the MBS2. Our beloved Bariles laid the possible gatherings for the community and we were all that enthusiastic to hung out again in different occasions! We sure had great fun at Genee's and will surely come back and ask our friends and family to check this new place! This resto makes us even more proud of our city! CONGRATULATIONS to the staff and management of GENEE!

Fun at Grossology Exhibit

I am a teacher for over a decade and one of my problems is to get the attention of my students without the usual disruptions. I normally connect our subjects to real-life situations so they can clearly comprehend and visualize the lessons. I ask them of their good or bad experiences, so the entire class may learn from actual experiences. Some students really show their interest to learn while others are as passive.

This is also the problem I get from my kid and nephew while I guide them through their preschool classes. Their attention span is actually so short that I keep on looking for ways to help them more and to make them appreciate learning at their young age.

Two of my strategies are stories and books filled with funny and interesting pictures. Truly, my kid and nephew remember well the stories and scenarios with them. Thus, I constantly search for materials and ways how I can help them learn more and be ready when they shall enter into formal education.

I never appreciated school before, particularly science, because I got bored. But, when my old school brought us to another school's open house and museum filled with preserved animals and babies, I began to appreciate the subject better and dreamed of wanting to become a doctor and a teacher!!!

Good thing that there is a Grossology Exhibit - Orlando Science Center that can help youngsters and adults to learn more about science, the impolite and funny way. This is a hands-on and a colorful exhibit for everyone about health and biology.

Normally, students find science and health topics boring, but through the exhibit on January 31, 2009, the kids can see, learn, and have fun with animatronics and inventive exhibits that disguise learning through gross stories about colds, body odor, body anatomy and more!

I can already anticipate the unique learning the kids will get from this exhibit. This is in partnership with Science World, Advanced Exhibits and the well-known Grossology author, Silvia Branzei who hosted the successful Animal Grossology in 2006.

The exhibit at Orlando Science Center is guaranteed to bring fun because we can try and test our Grossology knowledge through various trivia activities and games. We can have great time too by climbing the human skin rock wall, moving down through the 30-foot slide, or meeting Nigel Nose-It-All character who teach about allergies, colds and stuffs! Who can say now that science is boring?

Orlando Science Center holds too a lot of learning exhibits, from nature works, dinosaur finds, and laboratory technologies to space experience. This place holds it all. This is indeed a seat of learning where every visit is sure to be fun-filled! I will surely ask my family in Wisconsin to watch this exhibit and I am sure, the kids will remember this great place!
