Mama Miah!

When the pandemic started, all schools have been closed. It is unwise for kids to go out and have face-to-face classes, so most students have shifted to online learning at home. This experience is new and overwhelming for all educators, students, and parents. 

To make the best of their learning experience from home, here are some Online Learning Tips for Parents to consider:

1. Find a learning space where your child can study and learn

Having their own learning space with minimal distractions will help them concentrate. These might be challenging for some families like us who have a small house, but their designated learning space doesn't have to be huge and fancy. You can use whatever you already have at home as long as they are comfortable with the set-up.

2. Set-up a Schedule

Routines help children learn how to manage their tasks. Try to get your kids on the same schedule they had when they were going into school. Aside from their online class schedule, try to have the same itinerary for their sleeping and wake-up time, meal times, study time, playtime, break time, or snack time. 

Children need a break when things get too stressed for them, so let them play, and organize a  fun activity together. You can be flexible with your schedules and make adjustments if necessary. See what works best for your child. 

3. Reduce Distractions

Children get easily distracted. To keep them focused, remove the toys from their learning space and turn off your TVs or radio. If they have their cellphones or any gaming gadgets, keep them away to avoid distractions during their online class.

4. Set Rules on their Internet and Gadget Usage

These days, children have easy access to internet sites and have learned to use technology for educational and leisure purposes. As much as possible, parents want their kids to stay focused on learning and minimize their exposure to games, social media, and YouTube videos.

Establish a time when the kids can use their gadgets for non-school-related activities and how much time they must spend using them. For example, they can play games or watch their favorite movies/series after accomplishing their homework. Be firm on your rules and stick to them.

5. Be Patient and Supportive

Lastly, be patient with your child. Shifting from traditional school to online learning at home is not easy for them, and some kids are still adjusting. Just be there to support them and let them learn at their own pace. 

Do you want to have all your social profiles and website or blog links all on one page? If your answer is "Yes", then you are in for a treat!

It's so easy! You can create and design your own landing page using Canva! You can customize it to your liking and branding color and place all your social profiles and website, all in one page and it's FREE! You just need to have a Canva account which you can also have for free! ;)

I had fun making my own Instagram Bio Link Landing Page using Canva, there are lots of templates to choose from and you can even make one from scratch just like I did.

Here are the steps to create your Instagram Bio Link Landing Page:

1. Search for "Bio Link Website" on Canva, then select a template. But if you choose to make your own from scratch, then choose the "Create a Blank Bio Link Website".

2. Start designing and customize your landing page, you can add images, borders, frames, icons/logo of your social profiles which you can find in the Elements section, and a lot more! It all depends on your style and design. 

3. Add the hyperlinks to your social profiles like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Blog or Website, etc., so you can send your followers to your respective social profiles and blog/website. Select the icon or element that you want to add a hyperlink and click the hyperlink sign which you can see on the upper right corner (check out the image below for reference) and then add your link in the space provided and click Apply.

4. If you're done designing your Instagram Bio Link Landing Page, you can now Publish it as a Website and choose "Scrolling".

5. And you're done! The next step is to copy your link, it is too long and you might want to customized and shorten it using a link shortener like bit.ly. After you have shortened your link, you can now copy and paste it to your Instagram profile. 

So that is How to Create and Design your own Landing Page for Instagram Bio Link and you can now send your followers or potential clients to the right place even if you don't have your own website! ;)

I hope you enjoy this Canva Tutorial and have fun making your own landing page now! :)

Riding hailing app like Grab is so convenient to use during this time of pandemic where commuting is hard especially for us who lived so far from the City. But with just a few taps on the Grab app, we can have our ride in just a few minutes and arrive safely at our destination. Aside from transportation, Grab's other services like food delivery, shopping, and parcel delivery provide a hassle-free experience for all of us who rely so much on online transactions. 

Here's a treat to all Davaoeños from the leading super app in Southeast Asia, Grab recently partnered with Phoenix Petroleum to give P200 FREE fuel vouchers to new Grab users in Davao City when they create their accounts for the first time. This partnership aims to encourage Davao drivers to adopt cashless payments through GrabPay when they gas up with the homegrown oil company. 

Ronald Roda, Head of Country Operations for Grab Philippines, said “This is a strategic partnership between Grab and Phoenix Petroleum to be able to provide more convenience to nearly two million Davaoenos. We hope that the app and its various services such as transportation, food delivery, shopping, and parcel delivery, can create meaningful value in the lives of the residents and be a catalyst for further growth of this progressive city. We also want to encourage more people to adopt cashless payments through our in-app wallet GrabPay, in support of the government’s goal of creating a digital economy.”

The company hopes that the campaign will help further gain the trust and loyalty of Davaoenos, especially since Phoenix originated in Davao, and maintains its headquarters in the city, said Phoenix Petroleum Chief Operating Officer Henry Albert Fadullon.

“Together with Grab, we want to strengthen our relationship with Davaoenos as we offer more value and convenience. Aside from the fuel voucher exclusive to new Grab app users, we also offer the ‘Pinoy Tsuper Card’ (PTC)-Grab, a loyalty rewards card made available especially for Grab drivers, “ said Fadullon. “No matter who they are, whether they are public utility drivers or private ones, we want them to know that they can enjoy perks and discounts when they gas up with Phoenix and use their rewards card for their transaction in any of our 11 stations in the city,” said Fadullon.

HOW TO GET THE FREE VOUCHERS?

You just have to download the Grab app for free on Google Play Store or Apple App Store and sign up for an account. Then, you will automatically receive the voucher as a welcome gift via GrabRewards after signing up. Starting February 19 to March 7, new Grab users will get P200 worth of fuel vouchers which can be seen on the GrabRewards tab in the app. Before gassing up, you will need to present the fuel voucher to the station attendant, who will check and verify the coupon and will provide a 4-digit pin that they must input on the app to redeem the coupon.

Customers need to gas up a minimum purchase of P300 to use the free voucher at any of the 11-participating Phoenix Petroleum stations in Davao City. If above the minimum requirement, customers can pay for the remaining fuel transaction balance through cash, card, Phoenix gift certificates, or do cashless transactions through GrabPay. 

The fuel coupons may be claimed until May 06, 2021, up to 60 days after the promo deadline. 

1. Find the reward in the new user’s feed or in the Rewards catalog
2. Click on the reward
3. See the terms and conditions and click “Redeem” then confirm the redemption
4. Click “Claim” to claim the reward in any of the participating Phoenix stations and allow the pump boy to input the 4-digit PIN to redeem your P200 OFF

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

Out of the blue, I decided to cut my hair. My hair has grown long already and the last time I cut it was last summer, so I grab a scissor and started cutting my hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom (lol). 

Here is the output of my DIY Haircut. I also decided to dress up so when my daughter saw me with my new hairdo and outgoing clothes, she asked me: "Saan ka punta, Ma?" She's used to seeing me na nakapang-bahay lang since ECQ kaya nagulat at napatanong talaga siya.

I've been cutting my own hair ever since I was single and I still do it now that I am already a mother. I also cut my daughter's hair and my hubby's too with the help of a razor that we borrowed from my sister-in-law. By doing this, we can save money (tipid talaga) and since we are still in quarantine, it's best to just stay at home and do it yourself (DIY). 

It was hard the first time I did this, looking at the mirror while cutting your hair isn't that easy, especially when you can't see the back part of your hair. But, there's a trick to this DIY Haircut at Home and I'll share it with you. 

1. The first thing you'll do is brush your hair and bring it all to the front then tie it with any hair ties or scrunchies you have. 
2. Then, tie your hair again to the part where you want it to be cut, it's up to you on how short do you want it to be. 
3. Then, you can start cutting your hair to that part and you're done! Easy, right? 

As for me, I cut it really short this time it's shoulder-length. I also like my hair to have that layered look, so what I do to get that look is I cut my hair vertically, just a few inches from the tip of my hair and that's it. My layered haircut is done! By the way, I just use a regular scissor. :)

And one last thing, be confident and trust yourself that you can do it! Good luck! ;) 

I hope this is DIY Haircut Tips and Hacks is helpful to you. I don't have a photo or video of myself doing this layered haircut though, but maybe next time I'll record it so it will be much easier to follow the steps. :)
