I heart "SumoSam"

Who wouldn't be enticed to such a very cozy place like this, ka-Momsie? With their cool ambiance you wouldn't even think twice of dining in. Welcome, to SumoSam. 

This is owned by Marvin Agustin and business partners who happened to be one of the speakers that day.

I myself had a chance to experience the taste of their new launched products.

One of my favorites is the succulent Tonkatsu Kurobuta which the Kurobuta pork is the most expensive pork in Japan. It has an extraordinary ingredients. 

                                          Tonkatsu Kurobuta

And the chef demo, two thumbs up, because of the traditional Japanese way of cooking Tonkatsu Kurobuta. 

With the price of P499.00, served with Gohan and Tofu Miso Soup, Tonkatsu Sauce, Sesame dressing and White Sesame seeds. Plus, you can enjoy unlimited Japanese coleslaw or unlimited rice. 

I was able to try their new Japanese pizzas such as Kani & Cheese Pizza and Shrimp Enoki Pizza. So flavorful, mouthwatering and inviting to the human eye, you will definitely won't be able to resist ordering another pizza, hahaha. They have also Chicken Teriyaki & Mango but unluckily I haven't tried this one. But don't worry ka-Momsie... Next time, I will.

                                     

                                       

Dining is not complete without the dessert. LOL. The most awaited dessert, the Chocolate Ganache Cake with chocolate dipped oranges and wasabi ice cream, with its chocolatey and sweet smell that I  imagined I was already in Japan, hahaha... Yum, yum, yum. That's all I can say.

What about franchising? With its fastest growing casual dining Japanese restaurant chain, you can now have the opportunity to franchise SumoSam.

I love SumoSam that's why SumoSam meets SumoMom like me. LOL.

2ND SINGAPORE MATH LEARNING FESTIVAL

The 2nd Singapore Math Learning Festival will be held on February 9, 2013 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Ortigas. The conference will focus on how Singapore Math can complement and provide supplementary learning to the implementation of the K-12 program, a new development of the Department of Education. 

The K-12 program is an initiative to give students opportunities to master essential skills and competencies by stretching and extending their learning years to the 12th grade. It focuses on depth rather than on breadth, giving them more time to realize the importance of each concept and connect it to more complex and higher learning.

In this age of global competitiveness, parents are looking for schools that would unlock the potential of each child in the core subjects, one of each is Mathematics. Schools are now adopting Singapore Math into their Math curriculum and instruction, which has paved the way in creating excellent critical thinkers and better Math students.

Parents, teachers and school administrators might ask, "What is Singapore Math and how does it fit into the K-12 curriculum?"

Singapore Math focuses on developing critical thinking through mastery of foundational skills. It teaches students a systematic way of learning seemingly difficult math concepts through child-friendly terms and relatable experiences. This complements the K-12 curriculum, as it strengthens key concepts and provides opportunities to apply it in daily activities as well as in other subjects.

There will be concurrent learning sessions that will tackle topics such as the basics of Singapore Math, how Singapore Math can be applied in various activities inside and outside the classroom, manipulatives and materials enhance a child's learning capabilities, innovative activities in teaching Geometry and Fractions, and how Singapore Math helps students transition from basic to algebraic concepts.

The conference will also feature a plenary lecture by Dra. Queena Lee-Chua Math professor and multi-awarded  educator,  and her son Scott Chua, a multi-awarded student and a Carlos Palanca Awardee for Literature.

For a bigger discount:

Those who are school administrators, teachers, parents and stakeholders are invited to attend this extraordinary event on February 9, 2013.

A New Way of Learning Math

Last October 15th of 2012, I was given a chance to attend an exceptional educational workshop here in the Philippines about Singapore Math, hosted by Galileo Enrichment Learning Program. 

Mrs. Ma. Rowena Juan-Matti, Chief Executive Officer of Galileo Enrichment Learning Program,  introduced to us what Singapore Math basically is. The mission of the program is "to help empower learners by providing opportunities for learning enrichment that will make them independent, life-long learners." And its vision is "to be the preferred educational program that provides quality products and services that would advance the learning of their students."

Singapore Math is continuously implemented in, well, Singapore. That's why this country has been consistent in their top ranking at TIMSS (Trends in International  Mathematics and Science Study).

So, what is Singapore Math? Basically, Singapore Math applies pictorial models to bridge the gap between concrete mathematical experiences (e.g., using objects to act out what math concepts mean) and abstract representation (using symbols like numbers to convey mathematical ideas). These pictorial models include, but are not limited to, bar models, number bonds, ten frames, arrays and place value charts. 

Now, what is Galileo Enrichment Learning Program all about? Galileo is a meaningful, exciting and fun Math and English after-school enrichment program for children 3-12 years old. This age range is the best time to begin your child's journey and the sooner you get him into the program, the sooner he will be able to gain the program's benefits.

Galileo Enrichment Learning Program has the ability to help your child improve his/her school grades, become academically competitive, and develop a positive attitude towards studying by associating fun with learning. He/she will nurture skills and talents, and they will definitely gain lots of friends through these modules.

I feel like I was back in elementary school when they taught us Singapore Math. I got to know how easy and fun Math could be. What more if you enroll your child? They will surely learn the secrets of Singapore Math like I did, who wasn't very good with this subject to begin with, hahaha. 

For us working moms, it will absolutely give us more time for our children because Galileo can make learning Math easier for them with the Singapore Math course.

Galileo Enrichment Learning Program is also offering those educators at heart an opportunity to franchise. The brochure on the left can tell you more about it if you're interested.

I had so much fun because I didn't know that learning Math can be this interesting. And now, I can share it to my kids and to you, ka-Momsie, who might be having a difficult time teaching Math in a "traditional" way. Your child won't feel as bored anymore when it comes to solving basic Mathematical problems.

I bet you wanna try this one, ka-Momsie, right?

Solo Parent ID For Single Momsies

Being in love? Being in love is the most super-duper kakilig moment of your life. But sometimes due to some unavoidable twists of fate, we get nothing but pain. Pain that ruins everyone's life and dreams. Does anyone feel the same?

Pain? Of course, yes... I'm a human being, not a cyborg. LOL. But this is just the beginning of my struggles in life as a single mom. Kaloka at first because I thought that if I lose him, it would be the end of the world for me, but I was so lucky that I didn't find myself inside the mental hospital. LOL. Maybe the reason why I got through this is because the people around me are giving me their full moral support. Support from my parents, children, friends and a newfound love... Hahaha! But do you think this is enough? How about support from our gov't? A big "hahaha," right?

Well, one of my closest friends told me to apply for  a SOLO PARENT ID.  Uy! We have this pala here in the Philippines. It's under The Republic Act No. 8972, AN ACT PROVIDING FOR BENEFITS AND PRIVILEGES TO SOLO PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

So I went to our municipal office and it was so nice seeing staff again who are very accommodating. Especially those who are in charge of the application for SOLO PARENT ID. My ID will be ready upon the completion of my requirements and there are no certain fees to be collected.

It's free, ka-momsie!

So despite being broken-hearted, broken family with broken plates (hahaha), there's still an administration that can help us continue in nurturing our children by ourselves. Just don't give up, be strong and be still, for God has a purpose for all of us.

If single momsie ka, apply na! :)
