Tonette’s comments on Bamboo Dappy:
I highly recommend Bamboo dappy. This particular brand had different buttons you can use, depending on the size of your baby which is a big help in adjusting the length and width. It also came with an organic cloth pad which is quite absorbent. It didn’t leak and didn’t stain.

It is an added bonus that bamboo cotton is earth-friendly. Jake usually uses disposable nappies and seeing how comfy he was with Bamboo Dappy we might just use Am quite happy with it and Jake is too!

Where to buy:
Bamboo Dappy is available at Medela House (29 1st st. New Manila QC) and Babyland branches. Official website is here.

Hoopla Inc., the company that brought Cirque du Soleil franchise to the Philippines, has another exciting offering for us this coming August 9, 2012. SALTIMBANCO, Cirque du Soleil’s longest-running touring show will be staged at the soon-to-open Mall of Asia Arena.

At the press con held at the Manila Hotel, Hoopla Inc’s president Mr. Vincent Cheng made the exciting announcement of its latest project, following a successful run of Varekai.

Canadian Ambassador Hon. Christopher Thornby shared how Cirque du Soleil, unknown to most, was actually borne out of Montreal and has become a cultural institution in Canada and considered one of its “global ambassadors.”

Saltimbanco, with its theme “A Celebration of Life”, promises to be a “thrilling and kaleidoscopic celebration” onstage as it features acrobatics and artistry, with the spectacular costumes, lighting and music that Cirque is known for. This will surely be a fun and memorable show for the whole family.

Some of the show’s highlights include the following acts:

Hand-to-hand


Duo Trapeze

Chinese poles
