SM City Marikina Summer Mess Fest

SM City Marikina Summer Mess Fest

Tuesday, May 8

Do you know what I miss the most about my childhood? Getting messy! It seems like kids nowadays spend their time indoor glued to their gadgets or the television. During my time, summer means staying out on the street playing without a care in the world. And when the first rain in May pours, we let ourselves get wet.

SM City Marikina got the kids and their adult companion messy during the Summer Mess Fest last May 5 and 6 for two hours. 

You can get access to the Summer Mess Fest by presenting  a single or accumulated receipt worth P1,000 per child. 

The kids didn't mind the long queue at the Messy Slide of Fun and they had the most fun in this activity.

The toddlers favorite was the kinetic sand clay. 

The Summer Mess Fest was concluded with a dance party while being bombed with water, color powder, foam and bubbles.

The kids are messy but they definitely had a great time.

SM San Mateo is the next venue for the Summer Mess Fest on May 12.

Get Your Child Into Sports This Summer With Milo Summer Sports Clinics

Get Your Child Into Sports This Summer With Milo Summer Sports Clinics

Thursday, March 8

I was never physically active when I was a child. Summers were spent doing DIY, crafts and arts with my siblings and cousins. We were 5 girls and 1 boy. The unico ijo became a competitive swimmer while the girls enrolled at Yamaha School of Music.

I learned my first sport when I was 30. My husband was back from his US trip and brought home a tennis racket for me. He got me a coach at Marikina Sports Center and later on continued training at Park Ridge in Antipolo. I can say I can hit the ball but I'm far from being good tennis player yet. I stopped playing and it has been ages since I last stepped on the court until I was invited at the launch of Milo Summer Sports Clinic.

The longest running and most participated sports program in the country will offer training in 18 different sports: Badminton, Basketball, Bowling, Chess, Crossfit for Kids, Fencing, Football, Futsal, Golf, Gymnastics, Ice Skating, Karatedo, Tennis, Parkour, Swimming, Table Tennis, Touch Rugby, and Volleyball.

Tennis coach Kevin Mamawal and Guia Arzaga made me experienced how it's like to participate in Milo's Tennis sport program. 

Why you should get your child into sports

The lifestyle of children nowadays hinders them from being physically active. Most kids spend all day glued to their gadgets or the television. This can lead to several health issues such as poor eyesight, deterioration of posture, and obesity. Aside from health, sports teaches children valuable life lessons such as the value of teamwork, confidence building, acceptance of defeat and celebration of success. Sports teach respect, obedience, and discipline.
