Kids Yoga Philippines Launch

Kids Yoga Philippines was launched on April 7, 2013 at the Mind Museum in BGC.  We learned about the free event at Urban Ashram during Neil's semi-regular kids yoga class.


We arrived at the venue close to 2PM and there was a short line at registration.  I was surprised to find a good number of parents, kids and yayas already inside.  The kids were given kits with coloring sheets and crayons which Neil worked on while waiting for the program to start.



Neil did not like to write/draw/color when he was younger so to see him complete the picture below made me soo happy and proud.


The program started shortly after a snack break - sponsors served pizza, cupcakes and drinks.  For the RKY Community Class, the kids were asked to move to the center of the room forming a very big circle.  You can see from the pictures below how packed the room was.  The instructor was really lively and energetic and most of the kids participated enthusiastically.




We encouraged Neil to follow and do the actions as well but it was difficult for him to focus with all the kids, noise and being seated at the back.  After some time, we decided to just leave.  Based on attendance and how well the event was ran, at least up to the part we witnessed, it was a successful launch for Kids Yoga Philippines.  I wish Neil could have participated in its entirety but it wasn't meant to be.

We winded down by browsing at the Mind Museum shop, having snacks at Jollibee and checking out the tree installation at Burgos Circle.

    Hi Teacher Rina!=) We're also glad to have discovered yoga for Neil. He hasn't been to a class in a while though because of other things but it's one of our almost regular weekend activities. See you soon!

Around the Internet 12.09.11

This week's notable links are related to world population.  I tend to be interested in a subject, read about it and discover these links. 7 Billion on National Geographic .  Special series on the world's 7B population, with stories and discussions.  They have a counter of world population as well. 7 Billion Actions .  A site where anyone can upload a story, highlighting positive action.  I was checking through the site and was encouraged by all the good work that people do.  Really, we can be hopeful.  It's just a pity that only the sensational negative stories get highlighted in the media.  Positive stories are found right here.  And thanks to the internet for making this possible. What's Your Number?   7 billion is an overwhelming number.  This site let's you enter your birthday and plots you on the population chart and identifies your specific number (datapoint).  Of course this is not perfect and employs some algorithm to estimate where you are on the cha

It's Not Complicated: Samson and Delilah, Ruth and Boaz

Image
The last two topics for the preaching series on love entitled 'It's Not Complicated' were on Samson and Delilah, and Ruth and Boaz. ( Podcast here ) Samson and Delilah .  The story of Samson and Delilah can be found in Judges 13.  Before Samson was born, his mother was visited by an angel who said to her, "You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razorbecause the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”  Samson was destined to lead and deliver Israel from its enemies.  But we know that his life was far from simple.  He made personal decisions that changed the course of his life, including marrying Delilah, which eventually led to his death.  It's a tragic story and Pastor Joe explained why it happened to Samson - wrong place, wrong standard, wrong person. Samson, although he was set apart as a Nazirite, spent time in Philistin

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybody interested in
