Its summer time here in the Philippines and its also the start of summer vacation. It is the time when people can enjoy many things such as swimming, sun bathing, beach and pool parties. Summer means more time with family and friends and waking up late in the morning, right? For some of you, summer means an excuse to engage in complete laziness. 

For others, it means a chance to hang out with friends more often but also an opportunity to work a few more hours, do a summer job and make some extra money in it. While it’s good to take a break from the everyday busyness of school, sports, and other activities during the school year, it’s important not to completely turn off your mind and body during summer. It’s great to take the first week or so after school gets out to completely relax and get some rest.

Here's some few tips that I would like to share with you to help you stay healthy and happy during summer vacation. Well, first of all we need rest. We all need it, so don’t feel guilty and enjoy the slower pace that summer brings. I love sleeping in until 10:00 am, instead of my normal 5:30am wake up call to get my daughter off to school. Get to bed early when you can. Next is you need to relax. You will be able to relax when you’re well rested it may take a day or two, before you get in the groove, but you will. Take deep breaths and slow your mind. Allow it to be open to new ideas when you’re ready to receive them. 

Try to catch up with your friends and family. Have a simple pot luck cookout or picnic and reconnect with those you love and don’t see as often as you’d like. Keep it simple because sometimes those are the best times we can share with each other. Visit a new place you haven’t been to before. There are many beautiful places around you that you probably have not taken the time to see or visit. It will enlighten you to your local surroundings and provide you with food for thought when generating new ideas for your personal and business life. 

Eat healthy. Just because it’s summer, that doesn’t mean you should pig out each day. Remember to eat full meals, not just snacks all day. Get up and get out! Summer is the perfect time to go outside and get active. Go swimming, take a bike ride or take your dog for a walk. Above all keep safe and have fun!

  Mga higala! It's that time of the year when the Province of Bukidnon’s beloved and famous KAAMULAN FESTIVAL will be held again this March 23 to April 23, 2023! Usually held in Malaybalay City from the last week of March to about mid-April, Kaamulan Festival is an ethnic festival highlighting the indigenous culture of Bukidnon, and honoring the custom and traditions of the seven (7) original tribal groups in the province namely - the Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon and Umayamnon. This is the gathering of the 7 tribes to celebrate and for thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. The festival name is from a Binukid term "amul" which means gather. Kaamulan Festival has become one of my favorite festivals in Mindanao.

Some of the problems which often comes out from impulsive Christmas shopping are going over budget, buying frivolous items and even forgetting about items that were already purchased. While there are many problems which are often associated with impulsive Christmas shopping, it is important to remember that sometimes impulsive Christmas shopping is a good idea. When you see an item that you just know will make the perfect Christmas gift for a friend or relative and purchase the item without giving it any thought that is the exact definition of impulsive shopping.  However, it is also not necessarily a bad thing. Buying a gift on impulse is not a problem when the gift you purchase is a great gift for the intended recipient but impulse Christmas shopping becomes problematic when it causes the shopper to go over budget or purchase silly items they wouldn’t normally buy.
