It took my sister, Ate Joy of www.occasionsofjoy.com long years to persuade me in creating
and publishing my own blog. I created several
blog accounts before, but I quickly lost interest in updating it or not
really posting anything at all. So this time, I told her I’d be serious and follow
her footsteps. After all, she made herself quite famous by blogging just about
anything that comes into her mind! Hehehe!
At first, I wasn’t that interested since I was working and does
not have the time to really sit down and write something. This time however, I decided that I will start blogging to
maximize my time and keep myself busy since I have stopped working and
currently (and proudly!) a stay-at-home mommy since 2014.
Finally last week, I attended global brand Lock&Lock, a
leader in food container technology, as they declare June 2016 as their first “National
Pa-baon Month”. As a mom, this is very applicable since I have a 5th
grader who brings her own baon to school. The launch was held at the Linden
Suites last May 28 and we were welcomed by Mr. Raphael Chua, President of
Sawasdee Marketing Corporation, distributors of Lock&Lock, familia, Tickles
and Nutcase in the country.
The theme of the event is “pa-baon” or as we call today as
packed lunch. This topic is relevant since this generation has the highest
ratio of both parents working, which means that there is less time for
preparing healthy meals for the kids. I must admit that I’m also sometimes
guilty of this especially if I have deadlines for projects or simply tinatamad.
It’s becoming a norm for parents to just give our kids money to spend on their
lunch instead of making sure they eat healthy food at school. The result is the alarming numbers of
overweight or obese children ranging from 5 – 19 years old who are in danger of
developing diseases linked with obesity at an early age.
It was eye-opening after a dietician discussed the risks of
obesity to our kids. Bento momma added a fun-filled and educational activity
for us by teaching us how to prepare an appealing, fast and easy baon or in Japanese
term, “bento” for our kids. Our creativity was even tested when we were
informed that there would be a prize for the most hello kitty bento look-a-like!

To sum it up, I had the best time attending Lock&Lock’s
National Pa-baon Month event. With the quality, design and durability of
Lock&Lock, bento making for my daughter and partner has become easier and
fun!
Ready for bento making!
