ColorKiddos is a Social Enterprise

Posted on April 28, 2010 by MeiliLo

The term SOCIAL ENTERPRISE was unknown to me before I attended the GO NEGOSYO SEMINAR. I was so glad I heard somebody talked about it there because it made me realize that the COLORKIDDOS is classified under this type of business. Allow me to share with you 3 important facts about this so-called social enterprise  gathered from the Social Enterprise Coalition. 1. What are social enterprises? Social enterprises are businesses trading for social and environmental purposes. Many commercial businesses would consider themselves to have social objectives, but social enterprises are distinctive because their social and/or environmental purpose is absolutely central to what they do – their profits are reinvested to sustain and further their mission for positive change. 2. What is the difference between a social enterprise and ethical business? The two are distinct business models. A social enterprise’s main purpose is to fulfil its social and/or environmental goals.  This … Continue reading →

GO NEGOSYO – I won!!! I won!!!

Posted on April 23, 2010 by MeiliLo

Firstly, I would like to thank my batchmate and fellow blogger May, who works for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), for inviting me to join the GO NEGOSYO SEMINAR held at the L’ Fisher Hotel today. It was a wonderful learning experience hearing from Cito Beltran and the whole Angelpreneur share different topics such as Mindset, Branding, Value, Marketing, Financing and what they call the Social Enterprise (where the  ColorKiddos belong). Inspiring real life stories and practical advice were shared. I believe everyone who listened well were encouraged to do what they love, quit what they hate doing and embrace the entrepreneur inside them. The speakers were also very friendly and accommodating. They shared their ideas clearly and answered our questions intelligently. The place and food were nice too. And not only that, the seminar was FREE and they even gave out this book for FREE!!! Thank you … Continue reading →

BLUE and HAPPY day :)

Posted on April 20, 2010 by MeiliLo

It was a one truly fine day spent with both the Lo’s and the Boyero’s… It was Meimei’s birthday last April 16 but we had it celebrated at Palmas Del Mar today mainly because for my 2 kids (EJ and Meimei), swimming seem to be the love of their lives! Whenever they see a swimming pool, the first thing that comes to their minds is, DIVE DIVE DIVE and DIVE! Even if it’s just in the pictures or videos. I decided to have a family pool party so everyone can just enjoy and exercise Not everybody swam but I appreciate the fact that those who didn’t stayed until those who did finished up… I thought that after the picture taking in the function room and at the pool area, those who didn’t swim would go back home. But I was surprised to see the dry group waiting for the wet … Continue reading →

HAPPY BIRTHDAY My ColorKiddo…

Posted on April 16, 2010 by MeiliLo

Dear Meimei, A year ago, April 16, 2009 at 4:44pm I heard your very first cry… I welcomed you to this world by saying these words the very first time I saw you: KAY JOEY GYAPUN ILONG!!! (Still Joey’s Nose!!!)  :) When you’re old enough to read this, just ask me or your papa WHY those where my first words when I saw you for the very first time! (ahihihihi) A few hours later your tita Doc Tett went inside my room and told me that you were healthy except for a small problem… that you had imperforate anus. A lot of my friends asked me what was my first reaction and probably you’ll also wonder when you grow up… I didn’t cry nor did I panic. All I asked was, “So what’s the solution?” Tita Doc then discussed words like you may need colostomy and many other things which … Continue reading →

BABY JE-AN IN MANILA

Posted on April 13, 2010 by MeiliLo

First of all, I would like to thank family, friends and even strangers for sending help for Baby Jeff Andrei Las Pinas (Je-An). May the Lord bless your kindness to this kiddo. They went to the Philippine Heart Center last Monday and the poor boy had to undergo several testings such as blood tests, urine, 2d echo and many others to find out if he can go through the temporary repair. Unfortunately, the doctors concluded based on the test results that right now, he cannot because of the following reasons: 1. he is way below under weight so he has to gain a little more… they are asking that he should at least be able to take 3oz of milk each time, however, the most he can take was 2oz. They tried giving increasing it but when they reached 2.5 oz, he was rushed to the emergency room because he … Continue reading →

Quality Time is better than Quantity Time???

Posted on April 10, 2010 by MeiliLo

Several nights back, my husband and I had one of the many wonderful chats about life… Even if he’s far (he’s in China while I’m in the Philippines), he is still someone I consider my best friend. I can share with him everything and anything at all. A lot of times I know he’s tired and exhausted but when we chat and I need someone to share my heart out, he tries his best to comfort me. The latest incident was a few nights ago when I felt so guilty of being so busy with something that is good, yet I felt it’s taking me away from the kids so in turn, it’s starting to become bad. I discussed this topic with my husband and here’s what he told me: ok.  i know that it’s hard for you there.  just make sure may outlet ka. [4/6/2010 12:38:38 AM] *LANGGA KO*: … Continue reading →

PLEASE Pray for Baby Je-An

Posted on April 2, 2010 by MeiliLo

This afternoon, my friend Ruby and I with my kids went to baby Je-An’s house to say goodbye and bless him before he leaves for Manila tomorrow night. Je-An and his mom, lolo and lola will travel to Manila by boat because his pedia cardiologist (Dr. Franco) won’t give him clearance to ride the airplane as it is too dangerous for his condition. They will leave Bacolod around 9pm tomorrow night and will be arriving Manila about 10pm Sunday night. Analyn, Je-An’s mom, has an uncle who drives a taxi will pick them up and bring them somewhere (they still don’t know where they can spend the night). Monday morning they’re hoping to be admitted in the Philippine Heart Center. Initial estimates of Je-An’s expenses will reach at least P200,000 ( approx. $ 4,200) which covers for Pulmonary Artery Catether and Pulmonary Artery Banding. The family will leave Bacolod with … Continue reading →
