Paint your house with luck!

Chinese New Year is just a few days away. My family and I have different practices and traditions to attract  good fortune and prosperity for the coming year. 

Aside from the feast that we prepare during New Year's Eve, we also make sure that we have new slippers bought before the new year. This is to step on people who gossip about you. Bathing pomelo leaves is also believed to bring in good health for the year. 

At home, we make sure that the house is cleaned thoroughly before the Chinese New Year and on the strike of 12 midnight, all doors, windows and lights must be opened to welcome good luck and ward off evil spirits. 

However, these practices do not end during the Chinese New Year's day celebration. We also believe that feng shui must be practiced to attract positive energy through the arrangement of one's home, type of decorations and even color choice. 

We believe that the choice of colors to surround one's environment can effectively enhance the flow of positive energy thus, it is very important to paint our homes with luck. 

FENG SHUI PAINT is made up of colors carefully chosen to suit a person’s lucky color based on their Chinese zodiac sign. Prescribed by the well-known Feng Shui expert Mr. Johnson Chua, Feng Shui Paint is made to help attract three general life aspects: prosperity, health, and harmony.

Valentines 2015: The Greatest Kind of Love

Today is Valentines Day and I believe that this day is not all about romantic love. Love can be in all forms and sizes. This is not only shared to our family and friends but we can spread the love to anyone. 

Last February 8, 2015, Unilab Foundation launched "United for Down," a long term health program for Persons with Down Syndrome. 

Through the love and support of volunteers, doctors, partners and family, access to health services was provided to over 150 children and adults with down syndrome. 

I realized that the love and understanding of the society can play a crucial part in everyone's journey because with proper medical attention and support from family and the community, people with down syndrome can live a normal life. Our love for them can make a huge difference. I believe this is the greatest kind of love. 

Free medical check-up, vaccination, laboratory and x-ray tests were provided. Free eyeglasses and medicines were given too. 

Sandbox also provided art and craft activities for the attendees that kept them busy and entertained. 

It was indeed a successful event headed by the Unilab Foundation in partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines. 

The 13th National Down Syndrome Consciousness Month Celebration was also highlighted different activities such as the Tee-up for DOWN golf tournament last February 6, 2015 at Tagaytay Midland, Dine for DOWN a charity dinner on Feb. 27, 2015 at Highlands Prime Steakhouse, Pasig City, and Happy Walk 2015, All for DOWN. 

Happy Walk 2015, All for DOWN is a whole day program which welcomes all Down Syndrome supporters, members, and the general public on Feb. 22, 2015 at the Skydome, SM City North Edsa. For more details, check this out.
