Setting Up a Device Safely for Kids

There's quite a fuss about a very intriguing internet phenomenon lately called "The Momo Challenge". Allegedly, it's circulating online and has been victimizing kids to do some challenges (which causes self-inflicting harm). They even said that this phenomenon is the reason of the many suicide cases in some parts of the world.

However, there are also claims that the suicide cases and the Momo Challenge is not related and happens to be isolated cases.

Whether true or not, this sparked anxiety among parents on how they can protect their children from such harm. As a parent myself (who is also a teacher and ICT advocate), I certainly know both pros and cons of letting our children be exposed to the internet. That is why, I always look for ways to keep my daughter safe from the negativities of the worldwide web.

First, I always monitor and take a glimpse at what she is watching in the internet, especially on Youtube.

Second, we, parents, should also try to learn how the internet works. In this digital age, we cannot simply restrict our kids from using the internet. Instead, we go where they are and we learn it so we can better protect them.

Third, I was able to find this very nice infographic (a friend send it to me so I don't know who created this) on how to set a device safely for kids where you can make restrictions as to what they can see, find, watch, and download. Start following the steps in the infographic so you can protect your kids from things like the Momo Challenge.

Why you should join the Philippine Red Cross membership program?

I was supposed to write about this last month but I waited for the cards to arrive and I also got busy with work. Finally have the time to write about this! Last month, our local Red Cross went to our work place and offered us membership to their program/organization. I immediately applied for it since I like the benefits that goes along with it. I was also able to apply for my daughter so she gets the same benefit as mine. There are many types of membership. I applied for the Classic membership for my daughter who is 5 years old (Classic is for students only) for an annual fee of P60.00 only and Premier Bronze for myself for an annual fee of P150.00. Yes, that's how cheap it is! Our membership has accidental, disablement, and dismemberment benefits, burial benefit, and hospital daily allowance as you can see on the photo below. Some of you might say, it's just waste of money. I see it differently. It's actually preparing for something you are not p...

'PAG-IBIG MP2 Enrollment and Payment Made Easy

Happy New Year! I know. It's been almost 2 years since my last post . Things got so hectic for the last 2 years. There were a lot of adjustments when it comes to work since everything has shifted to the new normal. Curse the pandemic! Almost 2 years ago, I created a blogpost on Why and How to Start Investing in PAG-IBIG MP2 Savings Program but honestly, I wasn't able to start saving through the MP2 because I really thought that I still need to submit the application form to the PAG-IBIG office to start paying the contributions.

So, how do you start saving in MP2? 1. Make sure that you submit an application online. Details here . Once you're done with the application, a soft copy of your enrollment form will be generated.

I found the best cleaner for the bathroom. And it is...

As a homemaker, I am getting so obsessed with cleaning materials lately especially with the ongoing threat of the newly discovered coronavirus. This post is all about my bathroom tiles. Ever since we bought the house in 2011, the tiles were already yellowish and that's probably because the bathroom is where the carpenters get water. We've had some renovations over the years so it got dirtier. We really did not mind that much because we were not living here. It was only last year that we moved in and it has been my problem ever since. I've tried so many cleaning products but it gave me disappointing results. This was how our bathroom tiles looked like before Then, somebody introduced me to this amazing product of Personal Collection, the TUFF Toilet Bowl Cleaner . I tested it at home and I just tried to use it on the tiles as well. Lo and behold, it worked amazingly! Watch this video of the amazing transformation: I did not put so much effort into ...
