The soon to be 14 year old chef started cooking at the age of 7 starting with fried rice and pancakes. He then moved on to more complicated dishes and patiently learned the exacting discipline of baking.
Kyle is the grandson of National Artist for Sculpture Abdulmari Asia Imao. This early, Kyle seems to have inherited his grandfather’s artistic gifts. His creative plating had been cited by judges in the Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition.

Coca-Cola Philippines recently reaffirmed its commitment to promote healthy and active living during the second year kick-off of the Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars Basketball League.

Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars is a nationwide grassroots program, which aims to reach out to more than 7,000 aspiring basketball stars aged 13 to 16 across different cities, provinces, and municipalities in the country.

We have partnered with the Philippine Basketball Association for this program because leading an active healthy lifestyle has a positive impact on health and wellbeing, delivering a range of physical, mental and social benefits especially for young people,” says Atty. Adel Tamano, Vice-President for Public Affairs and Communications for Coca-Cola Philippines.

The thrust of Coca-Cola Philippines towards Healthy and Active Living is hinged on a global commitment to well-being, women empowerment and water replenishment.

Active and healthy living helps consumers make informed choices about day-to-day food consumption, proper hydration, and the benefits of engaging in various forms of exercise like basketball.

We want Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars participants to embrace active healthy living. And as the leading beverage company in the Philippines, the three-step action plan of Coca-Cola towards this is to Think, Drink, Move. To Think means to be educated through Coca-Cola programs like our basketball clinics.  To Drink means to carefully consider one’s beverage choices and hydrate properly. Coca-Cola has a wide variety of products that people can choose from, depending on their taste, as well as energy or calorie needs. To Move means to engage in physical activity like basketball to achieve energy balance,” adds Tamano.

Through Youngstars, teen participants get a 360-degree exposure to the Think, Drink, Move concept.

Health experts say a simple way for teens to keep their health in check is to always keep their food intake in moderation – not too much nor too little. A sensible and healthy eating plan should include a mix of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, with a moderate amount of sugar, all within the daily recommended energy and nutrition intake (RENI).

He concludes, “Part of active healthy living is having energy balance. This refers to the concept of balancing calories in with calories out to maintain a healthy weight. As long as you balance the calories you take in with the calories you burn, while also ensuring you‘re meeting your nutrient needs, any food or beverage, including Coke, can be part of an active healthy lifestyle. Regular physical activity helps maintain this equation and is essential for overall fitness and health.”

The Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars is one of many initiatives of Coca-Cola that promotes Healthy Active Living. Globally, Coca-Cola supports over 280 physical activity and nutrition education programs in more than 115 countries.

Provincial tryouts for the Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars Basketball League runs from April 2 – 14, covering Cagayan de Oro, Laoag, Iloilo, Zamboanga, Cavite, Laguna Bacolod, Pangasinan, Davao, Cebu, Pampanga, and Batangas.  Metro Manila tryouts begin April 1 until 13, starting at Valenzuela, Marikina, Caloocan, San Juan, Manila, Taguig, Rizal, Navotas, Muntinlupa, Cainta, Pasig, and Las Pinas.

Kids aged 13-16 are also encouraged to join the basketball clinics with Ronnie Magsanoc as coach. Tryout and clinic schedules can be viewed at the Coca-Cola Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/presidentforhappiness), www.coca-cola.com.ph, or simply follow @Coke_HappyPrez on Twitter.

Piano-Playing Child

This is the eldest child:

piano

She loves playing the piano just like here father. She doesn’t have any formal training but she can play. I guess there is that distinct difference between a forced talent than a natural talent but I will not delve into that 😉

We don’t need to buy keyboard piano yet though there is that possibility that she may ask for one. This is at the MIL’s home. In our home, we have a Korg that they use to play.

Papier Tole

I used to do a lot of crafts back when blogging and other online activities were accessible and affordable.

Imagine my surprise when I found these two papier tole crafts I did when the need to clean up the closet came up. Whoop!

Of course the next thing to do would be to look for my tools. Sadly, I can’t remember where I placed these and I am just not in the mood to look for these in the rubble of junk in our library.

Am thinking if a Martor USA utility knife will be ok to use with the cutting of the patterns should I decide to take up doing 3D paper crafts again.

 

Practicality Rules

I’d like to think that I am a practical person, at least most of the time (at least most of the time? errr…).

How and why?

I’d rather bring packed food than buy whenever we are going somewhere.

I’d rather school children do “textbook rental” than buy 6-8 books that will just gather dust after the school year is over. If it was me, I’d rather they use digital books than real books because I am an early adapter for reading ebooks way back when I still use a Palm Pilot. Yeah,  like circa very 2000’s.

I’d rather learn to cook recipes that catch the fancy of the family than dine out to order.

For example: A pack of these green chili fingers costs around Php10-15 and it has around 15 pieces. It doesn’t take a lot of cheese to put inside the chili. It doesn’t take a lot of “lumpia” wrapper to wrap each chili. At the nearby restaurant, these Cheese Sticks Dynamite are Php85/5 pieces. Now, why would I buy when I can make it at home? The practical thing here is to make these in big batches and freeze so you can just get some to fry if you want to have them.

Cheese stick dynamites

I’d rather spend a great deal of time taking care of the laundry and folding carefully the clothes rather than have these ironed at the laundry shop. If the clothes are well cared for, these can be given to others who might need them. Is it practical for me to have the clothes brought to the laundry shop for ironing? I think so because I am not fond of the task and second, we don’t pay too much which saves me time and effort to do other things. We don’t add electricity to the cost too.

Anyway…

For school supplies, we have two big plastic boxes for school supplies where the children can “shop” for unexpected things like folder, art paper, illustration boards, paint brush, envelopes, bond paper, pens, pencils, erasers, among other things.

I don’t want to ask the hubby or make myself go to the nearest bookstore for a 1/8 illustration board.

Are you a practical person?

Customer Relations and Mini Cupcakes

Mini cupcakes. So what?

Mini-cupcakes at the bank during Valentine's Day

These are special though, served for the customers of a bank that I go to. There are two baskets in the bank that contains red sweets: candies, even chips, and gums. These were served during Valentine’s Day.

Now that is good customer relations for me.

Add to the fact that they have a table with hot water and different kinds of tea for their customers. I am not sure though if all branches of Unionbank has this but the branch I go to, Unionbank Congressional Avenue has these things.

And we don’t stand in line because we have numbers.

Service time is now faster unlike before it takes me more than half an hour to wait to be served for a transaction that is done within 3 minutes.
