MUST BRING SADAKO TO EXPLOREUM

-

I attended the opening of the Exploreum last week. Located at the SM Mall of Asia, it used to be the SM Science Center, and after a renovation and rebranding, it is now bigger, better, and more exciting.


I never got to check out the SM Science Center, and during the opening last week, I didn’t really get to explore much of the Exploreum coz I needed to rush to a meeting, but based on the press kit and what I saw, I am definitely bringing Sadako there very soon.


Sadako doesn’t go to school yet but is very curious, so a place like the Exploreum is perfect for her. It has 118 all-new interactive exhibits, and eight major interactive galleries – Natural World, Human Adventure, Zoom, Connect, Cyberville, Space Camp, The Living Earth, and Science Park – that promise to teach kids all about science. In a fun way, of course.


One thing I’m excited to show my four-year old daughter is the Science on a Sphere, a globe that projects awesome moving images onto a six-foot diameter sphere. It’s more fitting for older kids, since it can show stuff like atmospheric storms, climate change, and ocean temperature, but any kid of any age would definitely be amazed just seeing this version of the earth, complete with amazing moving images.


Sadako also hasn’t been inside a moviehouse yet and I think I’d rather have her go inside the Planetarium first. Situated inside the Exploreum, the 158-seater Planetarium boasts of a 180-degree screen and an advanced audio-visual system sure to make viewers feel as if they can touch the images in front of them. Some of the shows played in the Planetarium are the Journey to the Stars, We are Astronomers, Timespace, The Zula Patrol, Down to Earth, and One World One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure.

So many thing to explore, learn, and enjoy with Sadako. Can’t wait!

The EXPLOREUM is located at SM Mall of Asia and SM Lanang Premier.  For more information, visit exploreum.ph

TOMS OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SM MEGAMALL’S MEGA FASHION HALL

Congratulations to shoe brand TOMS, which now has their flagship store at the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall! I have to admit I’ve never owned a pair of TOMS so when I got to the store, I took my time and looked at EVERYTHING, from the men’s shoes to the even the women’s, plus those for kids, too. Now this has got to be my favorite and I have already promised my feet that I shall buy a beautiful polk-a-dotted pair once I get my 13 th month pay. Lakas maka-hot dad, noh? This looks pretty cool, too. Not-your-usual, but not too in-your-face. This blue-and-white striped one is also something I would go for, although I’d love to use a pair for summer just so I can go for a nautical look. Imagine a crisp white tee, a navy pair of shorts, and these. Perfect. Before I headed out, I was able to score a pair of this Chocolate Canvas under Original Classics. I am in love with these basic ones I want a pair in all colors! For moms out there, there i

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed

MY 3-YEAR-OLD IS ALREADY WEARING A BRA

And it’s Beyonce’s fault. See, Sadako has a thing for playing dress-up. She asks for a bandana or a scarf or any piece of cloth to be wrapped around her head whenever she wants to sing along to her favorite Erykah Badu song, “Bag Lady.” She makes sure she’s wearing her kitten heels whenever she performs Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War.” She grabs this piece of white piece of lacy fabric and puts it around her shoulders whenever she’s copying Christina Aguilera in her American Music Awards performance, where she sang a medley of tracks from her “Lotus” album, starting with “Lotus (Intro).” So going back to Beyonce, my little one discovered the talented star just recently when I popped in a DVD copy of her 2006 concert. It didn’t take long for Sadako to copy the star’s birits, moves, and get-ups. So one night I get home and see my three-year old daughter wearing her mother’s bra.  This morning, I woke up to Sadako singing along to Beyonce’s “Green
