UPDATES! UPDATES! UPDATES!
carla has started to memorize four books that one of my cousins gave her for her 1st birthday. she is nearing completion of memorizing the books. cool.
she knows so many words. i am amazed by the rate she acquires new words. makes me wonder if i learned as fast as she did when i was a kid.
carla started talking when she was around six months. she did not start talking in gibberish. she said "nang-ni" (ninang said backwards) straight-tongued.

“Conquering Frontiers in Communication Research: Beyond Mindsets and Paradigms”
Higher Educational Institutions, Colleges and Universities embrace a spirit of collaboration in designing research, curriculum, and innovations in instruction and extension services as sites for social engagement. It is in this milieu that the Philippine Association of Communication Educators, (PACE) Foundation, Inc embarks on retooling its members in collective efforts designed to restructure and reinvent processes and interventions through dynamic research activities geared towards societal development.
In active response to a need expressed by its member-institutions at a recent National Conference in Manila last November 2008, PACE Foundation, Inc. reiterates its commitment in developing responsive and effective alliances as it reexamines the importance of relevant and meaningful researches.
