Have you tried going to a concert with your teens? For the first time, I did. And I’m glad it became a nice experience for the three of us. If you are familiar with K-POP, you must know this young boy band EXO and recently, they had a concert here in Manila at The Araneta Center. My kids are avid fans of this group and they were just excited to see their “bias” (the term they use for their favorite band member or idol) in person. I knew it was coming, paying for concert tickets, because they had been fans of other boy...
I have a can of Jolly fruit cocktail left from last Christmas and so I thought to try this recipe. I had to make it with chocolate graham crackers to make it more appealing to my kids, who won’t refuse anything chocolate. This will be win win for all of us (kids and adults) because it has fruits, it’s a cold dessert, and it’s chocolatey. Crema De Fruta – Jolly Fruit Cocktail on top, it looks syrupy but it’s clear gelatin on top My Masflex Saucepan – which I mainly used for this recipe. It’s a stainless...
The kids will be back to school tomorrow and we will be officially back to business. Work at home, house chores and the usual stuff. Before we plunge in, I let my husband satisfy his curiosity in this vintage shop he was eyeing for so long to visit. It was somewhere K-1st Street near Kamuning Northwest Estate and Collectibles. You may click the name to be directed to its Facebook page. It was a house open to public and it was filled with vintage LPs, cds, casette tapes, toys, cards, comics and a little bit of home stuff like jars, salt...
I had been keeping my Gift Certificates to The Spa for a long time. I didn’t have an idea that my first visit at this place will be one of the best day-off experience for me ever! We’d planned for Joy’s birthday a month before. As the three of us are all very busy work at home moms, add it up that we are also active bloggers, all our meet-up schedules need to be carefully planned. Joy treated us for a lunch buffet in Vikings, Louisa paid for our movies, and I used my gift cards to The Spa. Joy even had to work that...
It’s already the third year of MBP’s Halloween Party and yet, Louisa, Joy and I still felt the same rush of adrenaline as the day of the event got closer. I don’t know but whenever we had events like these where we expect to see the members of our bloggers’ community, we get excited and despite our full time jobs (we are all WAHMs by the way) and our unending family chores, we can still find the time to coordinate with each other and with the sponsors. Can you imagine that one day before the event, we got to 7 different...
If you happened to read my previous post of the launch of SM Hypermarket’s Streetfood Festival in SM Fairview, you should be already convinced how exciting this festival is. And now the Grand Finale is coming and thousands are waiting not only to experience gustatory pleasure from SM Eats and other participating foodies but to know who the raffle winner will be of P100,000 shopping spree! What To Expect After four very filling roadshows in SM Hypermarket Fairview, Valenzuela, Bicutan, and Molino, the fun-filled food festival continues...
We’ve been wanting to try Steveston Pizza in UP Town Center since we first stepped in this mall. Not only because the restaurant’s name is similar to my husbands’ but also because we wanted to try something new. Finally, a chance to sample Steveston came and the experience was so delightful I know I had to share it. Reminiscing the flavors we tried last time as I write this blog post makes me crave and plan to go back very soon. My Steveston pizza experience was so delightful I had to share this review. Steveston Pizza...
Being beautiful and feeling beautiful can be as easy or as difficult as women can think of it. In as much as “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”, I also believe that beauty is in the heart of the “beholdee” (I’m not sure if there’s a word like that, but you know what I mean). Although I can see that many women still perceive beauty as having that svelte body and pretty face, I believe that most of us had already gone past this superficiality. As a mom of two young ladies, it is a challenge for...
