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 was one of the many moms who got to try the new yoghurt milk drink from Nestle – Bear Brand Yogu! I taste tested it and I found it delightfully creamy and sweet. My kids are not into eating fruits that much and so having them drink Yogu was such a great relief for me. They liked the strawberry and mango Yogu, maybe because, from all the fruits I serve them, they only eat mangoes and strawberries. I checked the nutrition label and as a mom, I was glad to see all these vitamins packed in this drink: Protein, Calcium, Zinc (22%)...
How do you think watching a movie at the park feels like? 20 years ago, I think it would have been a kilig date for me and my husband. I remember we used to go to this very same park, QC Memorial Circle, to meet or have a date. We haven’t experienced watching a movie there but I’m sure naupuan na namin lahat ng sulok ng park. Our cell phones, if I remember correctly, for the sake of reminiscing, were Nokia 3210 pa. Those were our bf-gf days, when I was still in college, we were always broke and QCMC was our haven, hahah!

It’s the first quarter of the year and I was just excited to learn that Robinsons Supermarket is continuing on its goal to provide the consumers healthier food options and alternatives. That’s why as much as possible, we do our grocery at a nearby branch. Imagine, in our place alone, there are 4 Robinsons Supermarket branches we can choose to go. Ganyan karami ang branches nila. This March, they launched this year’s “Route To Wellness” campaign with a travel-with-passport themed event held at the Eastwood...
What are all-natural eggs and how are they different from the P5-P8 eggs we buy from our local groceries? I’ve got the chance to try this kind of egg (all-natural organic eggs) from Healthy Options and their Farm Business Manager explained that the difference lies on the mother hens which laid the eggs. The hens that produce all-natural eggs are grown in a natural environment on a spacious farm and not in small, hot and cramped chicken coops. In these kinds of environment, the hens become stressed-out and the eggs that they produce...
If you haven’t discovered how oyster sauce can transform a simple dish like a stir-fried kangkong and tofu to an oysterrific dish, the easiest way will be to open a P5 peso sachet of Ajinomoto’s Sarsaya Oyster Sauce. I’ve just tasted it and recognized the difference with other oyster sauce I’ve tried. The oyster flavor is heightened without overpowering the other ingredients and it’s not sweet unlike other brands. I got this quick recipe from Ajinomoto as they launched the cute celebrity Coco Martin as the...
Every mom deserves a treat like this, a facial spa with your closed friends inside the spa room, and then a refreshing and nutritious meal after the spa session. I experienced all these, thanks to Diana Stalder and her mom, who owns Diana Stalder by Dermline and DS Cafe. The cafe is located just within the area of their branch in Gateway Mall, Araneta Center. I can still remember that session, when I was still whispering to myself, “Ah, this is life.” I can hardly clean my face, I mean, I wash it only when I take a bath. I...
Hello Kitty is the only cat I ever adored. I haven’t been a cat person ever since (I’m a puppy person) but when it comes to Hello Kitty, I just swoon. My kids are fans too though we do not collect that much. But Tupperware Brands had released a Hello Kitty limited edition mid-month special we couldn’t resist. Hello Kitty fan or not, you’ll find this collection very much appealing. You’ll see why. Hello Kitty Perfume – You will love the smell as I did. It’s both floral and fruity, but not too sweet...
