Imaginative Bloggers at The Mind Museum

Written on May 27, 2011 by Liz in Blogger, Blogging, Campaign

Minds At Work!

First of all, we are not allowed to take photos of the exhibit so don’t expect amazing works of arts and science here. Yes, we can but for personal use only hence I can’t share my shots. Since this is all about imaginative minds, let me just challenge your senses by naming some of the exhibits - Whirlpool, Bernoullis Principle, Listen to your Heart, Air/Tornado, Canopy of Life, Solar Bugs and my favorite – Space Shell. I always fall for stars… so exploring the outer space is on my bucket list. The roving space shell reminds me of the Planetarium when I was a grader. Alright, I’m leaving everything to your imagination.

We were given a checklist and we rated each exhibit according to ease of use/view, ease of understanding and how interesting it is. This is just a exhibit-testing so the actual displays would be far better, I supposed. There are guides who explained what the exhibit is all about, how to use the controls, and so on. I have to admit, sometimes, I’m too afraid to experiment. But this exhibit taught me once again that we should not be afraid of science. Instead, interact with it. Speaking of interaction, there are exhibits that are less interesting because it lacks interactive approach. This is just one of the feedback I’ve submitted after going through each exhibit.

Science, Math and English are my three favorite subjects and this exhibit-testing reminds me of how I excel on these subjects (modesty aside) when I was a student. The library is my favorite place when I was in grade school. Science books had been my bestfriends back then especially the Universe hardcover series. It’s not always about the pictures, it’s more on interesting facts that I learn each day. At The Mind Museum, I feel like reliving my SCIENTIFIC days.

Once this one-billion project is completed, I’ll be there to explore it!

On top of interesting and mind-tickling exhibits, I’ve also met fellow bloggers who are all enthusiastic about The Mind Museum.

As part of our continued growth, we are re-launching our website in an effort to make CARA more visible in the mainstream media and society. Our new site will be easier to navigate, as well as more informative, visually appealing and intimate. In depth information about our programs and events as well as stories about our rescues, will be accompanied by photos and updates. Our newsletter will provide the latest news on our activities, events, health and medical tips as well as our featured animals up for adoption.

We hope that our friends, followers, fans, sponsors and benefactors will enjoy the time and effort that we are putting into our new and improved site.

Amazing Science at The Mind Museum

Written on May 12, 2011 by Liz in Campaign

Did you know that females are smarter than males? Is this for real? I, being a female, love this fact and strongly believe that I’m smarter than some of the guys! But before all the males out there growl at me, read on. This statement is found very evident in female dogs, too. And if you wish to know more trivia and find amazing science articles, you may now head to The Mind Museum.

Its vision is to build a home for science and to make it the first world-class science museum in the Philippines. The museum aims to present science as entertaining and engaging part of life. The two-level museum features these awesome galleries:

The Story of the Universe: Its Beginning and Majesty
The Story of the Earth: Its Story Across the Breadth of Time
The Story of Life: The Exuberant Varieties of Life
The Story of the Atom: The Strange World of the Very Small
The Story of Technology: The Showcase of Human Ingenuity

On May 26, 2011, The Mind Museum’s first exhibit testing event will be held at the NBC Tent, Bonifacio Global City and it’s themed Minds at Work.

Build imaginative minds!

Let’s help promote science in the country by building imaginative minds through volunteerism or sponsorship. Mechanics can be found here.

Blogging for A Cause thru “Akyat Pinatubo”

Written on May 10, 2011 by Liz in Blogging, Campaign

Ever since I resigned from my job, I had the luxury of time to blog, join events, do part-time business and more. In short, I was able to manage my time freely and wisely. I’m on the right track. I know there are a lot of bloggers out there who write to their heart’s content and are much willing to extend help to those who are less fortunate. Having said that, I am now inviting you to join “Akyat Pinatubo’ Bloggers’ Climb for a Cause”!

Blogger's Climb for a Cause!

Tahanang Walang Hagdanan (TWHI) is the beneficiary of this fund-raising event. Bloggers’ registration fee is P1900, of which P300 will directly go to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan. Non-bloggers can also join this climb for an industry rate of P2,300 per person.

Check out Let’s Go Sago’s post for FAQ, itinerary, package inclusions and more exciting news!

I’m so excited to have my first hand experience on mountain climbing. And so happy to know that by joining this event, I’ll be able to help the orthopedically handicapped persons of TWHI.

Thank you to all the sponsors!

Thank you in advance to those kind-hearted bloggers who will spread the word and will join this Blogger’s Climb for a Cause!

PS.

This is not hard core mountaineering, but easier than mountain climbing, this is more of trekking (walking) only and crossing shallow streams.

UPDATE:
Due to Typhoon Chedeng advisory, this “blogging for a cause” activity will be held on June 04, 2011 instead of May 28, 2011. Hence, the REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN until 11:59PM of June 3! Let me know if you’re interested!

See you there!

The Success of Trend Homebuilding Project

Written on November 22, 2010 by Liz in Campaign, Home

Happy Trenders are also home-builders!

Thanks to everyone who joined this batch. Special thanks goes to Ica and my TL who had given me the chance to be part of this homebuilding project. I just had another best week of my life with this pack of happy Trenders and lovely children.

Because I just got back to work and there are other important things to attend to right now, I’m parking all of my thoughts and GK experiences aside. I’m glad that my headache and back pain did not cripple me from building homes but fueled me to work harder instead. With the inspiring children around me and kind-hearted volunteers to help me, I really felt I have all the powers in the world which made me a super hero! Well, we’ve been GK heroes during this homebuilding trip!

I’m a Gawad Kalinga advocate and I’m proud of it!

Gawad Kalinga (GK) translated in English means to “to give care”. GK’s vision for the Philippines is a slum-free, squatter-free nation through a simple strategy of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless, food for the hungry and as a result providing dignity and peace for every Filipino.
