Human Nature Magalogue August 2011

Just before the formal magalogue turnover, a video clip was presented to us which highlighted the Human Nature product updates and development, advocacy, and upcoming events. I’m excited about the Human Nature Dealer Summit this coming November and I’d like to visit the GK Enchanted Farm, too, just like President NoyNoy Aquino.

President Aquino's Visit to GK Enchanted Farm

The video was so moving that I won’t stop spreading the word about Human Nature. (I’m not sure if the video clip can be shared or if it’s exclusive to dealers.) Mr. Dylan Wilk’s sense of humor and deep sympathy to the Philippines got me when he said, “When you marry a Filipina, you marry the whole country!” If non-Filipinos could be so passionate about our country and its people, why can’t we? I’m a Gawad Kalinga advocate and had once joined the home building project in Caloocan. I’ve met a lot of GK villagers, staffs and Mr. Tony Meloto. Being part of outreach activities is a life-changing experience and I’m encouraging everyone to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate.

Now, before I get out of lane, let’s go through the pages of August 2011 magalogue. Thanks to Jillian of Human Nature Manila for the lively presentation. (Thanks to other staffs, too namely Denver, Aileen and the other guy who served us snack and assisted us in onsite shopping.)

Cool new products to try!

Then there was a makeup demo to show the proper application of Mineral Eyeshadow – Enchanted Evening. Of course it still depends on the eyelid, shape of the eye and skin tone. But here’s Aileen, our make up artist. *wink*

Application instructions can also be found on the magalogue and mineral eyeshadow itself. This new palette will definitely make me more glamorous next time!

And that wrap ups the magalogue turnover at Human Nature, Manila branch! It’s shopping time! Attendees enjoyed exclusive discount during the turnover date but I was not able to make the most out of it. As of the moment, CASH is the the only payment option in Manila branch and I wasn’t aware of it. Couldn’t use my debit card and Paypal for my transaction. Next time, I’ll see to it to have enough cash with me. Nonetheless, I was able to stretch my P1100 budget to cover this month’s maintaining purchase.

Playing and learning is fun!

Here are the benefits of incorporating mental challenges to kid games:
- It will clearly shows kids reaction and you can act upon it.
- Visual effects from software catches kids’ attention making them more attentive.
- Educational games make kids more interactive.
- The bond between parents and kids become stronger while supervising the kids in play.
- Every educational game played by a kid is a learning block to become an intellectual and social being.

We can measure statistics of children without the means of Basic Education, we can measure poverty, we can measure the rising crime rate, and we can even measure the cost of ignorance. But can we truly measure the potential of a child? By providing these children with the materials wherein they can continue to learn, we are offering them a brighter future.

- Dr. Rudy Sabater, HWH Director

Cute Stuff for Babies

When I recommend the light blue and baby pink colors for babies’ toys, I am not being bias. They are just the right color for baby girls and boys. But did you know that pink is originally associated to the color of masculinity? Since it’s said to be a variation of red which is a masculine color, pink is used to be a color for the boys. And look at the guys right now, they rarely wear pink shirts. But real men wear pink shirts, right?

I am a fan of anything cute and pink! So even if I am buying something for me or for someone else, they usually come in pink color and pink gift wrapper. But for baby boys or those ages 3 and up, I let my boyfriend decide for their gifts. Last Christmas, we both toy cars and robots for them. But now I have a better idea! Personalized baby gifts can make both the baby and parents happy! It will be good to give them a try next time. Probably during kid’s birthdays or the next Christmas day.

The CHILD Haus (Center for Health Improvement and Life Development) is a temporary shelter that provides free room and board to indigent patients from the provinces who have no place to stay in Manila while undergoing medical treatment. The house mostly admits children with cancer.

It is located inside the QI/PCSO compound in E. Rodriguez Ave in Quezon City. But with the PCSO’s transfer to their new offices in Roxas Boulevard, the shelter now finds itself in danger of being kicked out.

I had a glimpse of Umagang Kay Ganda earlier and Anthony Taberna’s Punto Por Punto caught my attention. The heated discussion is about (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office) PCSO’s relocation from the Quezon Institute owned by the Philippine Tuberculosis Society Inc. in Quezon City to Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City. Among the highlights of the issue are the true reasons behind the office movement and their plans for the sick orphans. The temporary shelter in the PCSO compound is currently housing around 70 children with cancer and other illnesses together with their families.

For the record, the CHILD Haus was founded by the Ricky Reyes Foundation, supported by presidential daughter Evangeline “Luli” Arroy, PCSO themselves and other advocates. Now that the office has been relocated, will there be a special place for these kids, too?

According to PCSO Chairman Margarita Juico, they have accepted the offer of Mayor Herbert Bautista to locate their clinic at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority compound behind the Quezon City Hall. They had also coordinated with Mayor Lim to rehabilitate an old building at the Ospital ng Maynila and turn it into PCSO clinic. Despite this careful consideration, former PCSO chairman Manuel Morato and the ever proactive people of the Philippines criticize the idea of moving to a new office. PNoy administration is also being questioned. Should it really be that way?

Well, it’s politics so what do you expect? Can these elected officials do something about this current issue! Anyway, I won’t bother posting about this topic if Kythe Foundation wasn’t mentioned. Since I have an ongoing campaign for this organization, I am happy to know that Kythe Child Life Program can make a difference. Yes, the if-ever abandoned kids can get support from Kythe.

P.S. How about getting a portion from the current jackpot prize of PhP 334,984,975.20 in the Grand Lotto Draw to build a new home for these kids?
