How to teach your kids to eat veggies..
some suggestions here

If you are all wondering why I am not posting much personal entries here, this is for the transition of Make or Break. A few days from now, I will have my own domain (www.pehpot.com). Instead of transferring this whole blog to the new domain, I decided to maintain this blog (pehpot.blogspot.com) and turn it to my entertainment portal. Make or Break will have its new home as www.pehpot.com not later than the first week of August. Knowing how tiring this job can be, I already started a blog that will just wait for the domain.

Thanks a lot guys!

A New Parenting Site (And it's Local!)

And so while I was browsing pep.ph for some new chika on our local celebrities, I have learned that Piolo Pascual is courting KC Concepcion (I hope the Piolo they are talking about is the same Piolo on Bench raw commercial). I also learned that "masarap ligawan si KC.. napakalambing, napaka thoughtful na tao and wala ka ng hahanapin pa" (Piolo). Asked how much he (Piolo) loves KC, the answer is.. SIKRET! (belat!)

What is the Mega reaction? I mean how did Megastar Sharon Cuntea reacted on Piolo Pascual courtship to her daughter KC? Well, she thinks Piolo is good for KC and that he like Piolo because he is a Christian and that he is prayerful.. (source)

Top Chef Contestant Shared Her Recipes!

Ariane Duarte teams up with iVillage for some simple and inexpensive summer recipes! And if you must know, Ariane Duarte is a working mom. And we can be assured that the recipes she prepared for us suits our busy life. She is also a contestant on Top Chef.

This is very exciting as I really like learning new recipes. The foods on the recipes are all easy to do. Having three kids limits my time on the kitchen. This video is a heaven sent. I can now prepare delicious dishes, without much of a hassle and in a very affordable price. My kids also saw the video and they were drooling for it. They liked how the foods were prepared and is now asking me to cook a recipe for them.

I think I also found the best way to involve them on food preparations and with the cooking too. The video also offer craft oriented recipes, perfect for my kids! Ever since they learned about the kitchen, they have been asking if they can join me. They are curious on how I cook their treats. Now with the clips from the video, my kids will be more than delighted to help me. My husband who is a steak lover will like this too as there are recipes of simple and easy to prepare steaks on the video. You Can See More Life Made Easy Videos Here.

Another thing I like about this video is, it is sponsored by Walmart. You know I am a fan of this super store. The items there are affordable and durable. I bought most of my kid's stuff at Walmart. Since the video is Walmart sponsored, you are assured that anything you see on video can be purchased at Walmart.

Now I think I have to stop blabbing about the goodness of this video and just continue watching. I will be on Walmart after this.

Partial View Of The Partial Eclipse

Today, July 22, almost everyone are excited for the upcoming Solar Eclipse. Solar Eclipse in simple term is when the moon passes in between Earth and the sun thus blocking the light of the sun. Below is a simple diagram of Solar Eclipse:

The solar eclipse later will be the longest solar eclipse in the 21st century. The total eclipse can be viewed on China. This natural phenomena is very spectacular that many people travel to chase it.The June 20, 1955 Manila eclipse will only be second to this (aww, China is so lucky, first Olympics, now Eclipse).

Aside from 6 minutes of darkness, I don't know what other scientific effect eclipse has. In some countries, they viewed this as bad luck. In India for example, expectant mothers would not want to deliver their baby during the eclipse. According to them it may effect the baby's personality.

A few more hours and the excitement is building up. Here in my place (as we are not as lucky as the people below), we can only view the partial eclipse as we are not included on its path. The Filipino can observe a partial eclipse around 8 AM to 11 AM.

If you are not as lucky as the people in China and India and those chasing eclipse, here are the list where you can watch it online:

1. Griffith Observatory
2. Live Eclipse
3. Atlaspot
4. Exploratorium
5. University of North Dakota

Bed Sets For Me

The kids loves playing even on our bed. I find it disgusting at times when our bed sheet comes out of the bed. One of my dream bed sheet is contemporary bedroom sets. I find it nice and very pleasing to the eye. The kids may ruin so I guess that kind of bed sets is still a dream. When the kids are older and they already have their own rooms, I guess that's the only time when I can have my own sheet.

I wonder what kind of bed sets famous actors and actresses have on their house. I guess they have that kind of bed sets on their rooms.
