I may not be as vocal about it as I should be, but I'm an advocate of lifelong learning. I believe that learning can and should take place all the time, and that it shouldn't stop once you're outside the classroom or done with school.
For many though, being a lifelong learner -- or learning how to be one -- can be a bit of a challenge. It's a good thing there are companies like Manila Workshops, which hold seminars, events and workshops (of course!) that help people learn about different things.
This June 2014, the dynamic team behind Manila Workshops has partnered with great speakers to bring us different 'lessons' through their events -- all aimed at helping us live fuller, richer lives. Here’s what’s in store for us this month:
The Winning Mindset of Successful Stock Market and Forex Traders Workshop (June 21, 2014)
This seminar will help teach participants the proper discipline and skills needed to become a successful trader. Attendees can also expect to learn the difference between stock market and forex trading, and discover which one is best for them.
Here’s a rundown of the topics to be discussed:
- What is the stock and forex market?
- Why trade the stock and forex market?
- What is the same and what is different between the two?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of trading each market?
- How does a typical day go for a stock market trader and a forex trader?
- What mindset and skills does one need to become a successful market trader?
- How does one know which one is best for oneself?
The Manila Workshops team recommends this event for:
- People who want to know about how the stock market and the forex market work
- People who want to look for an additional source of income (or additional ‘income streams,’ as we call them)
- People who find it difficult to make money in stock market and forex trading

Making Memories and Party Planning Workshop (June 28, 2014)
This workshop came about because Manila Workshops and Medela Moms, their partner for this event, wants to help parents create and document the precious memories they share with their little ones. It is actually the latest session under the First Time Parents workshop series.
The Making Memories and Party Planning Workshop is a 2-in-1 session where participants will learn how to document milestones and important events in their children’s lives, as well as plan for their children’s baptism and birthday parties.
The workshop will take place on June 28, 2014, Saturday, 1:00-5:00PM at the Medela House, #29 1st Street, New Manila, Quezon City. It will be given by Michelle Katigbak-Alejandro, the current Editor-in-Chief for Metro Weddings Magazine and a freelance party stylist.
From baptisms to birthdays to weddings, Michelle has seen and participated in every aspect of special celebrations. In early 2014, she merged her boutique styling business with Cuppy Puppy Bakehouse to become a one-stop shop offering both sweets and styling for events.

WAHM 101: How to Be a Work-at-Home Mom (June 28, 2014)
I’ve written about the work-at-home mom (WAHM) workshops I’ve attended before here, and I can’t believe how much the WAHMderful Life Workshop series has grown by leaps and bounds!
This June, the most awaited and the most attended workshop under the WAHMderful Life Workshop series, i.e. WAHM 101: How to Be a Work-at-Home Mom, is BACK!
This time, the team behind Manila Workshops and WAHMderfulLife.com are coming together with 88DB.com and Unilab to present this unique workshop, which I highly recommend for moms who want to learn how to work from home (and even 'non-moms,' i.e. dads, married ladies who aren’t moms, single ladies {and gents!}).
Insular Life is the event’s venue partner, so it will be held at the 12th floor Multi-Purpose Hall, Insular Life Building, Ayala Avenue corner Paseo De Roxas, Makati City, on June 28, 2014 from 10AM to 4PM.
So if you’re looking to learn from real WAHMs, go and sign up now. The learning fee is only Php1000 per person if you register and pay before June 15, 2014!
