I am a long time user of SM Advantage Card. It’s one reward card that I don’t pull out from my wallet ever. One, there’s an SM everywhere so the chances that I buy from them is always high. Two, I love to check (and avail sometimes) their SMAC Deals. But when you take a closer look at the perks of having their reward card, you’ll be more amazed on how much points you can garner which means, more money you get back from what you spent from them. So what do you actually get from an SM Advantage Card? 1. Rewards,...

I am just so glad to try making puto (steamed rice cake) for the first time and be successful with it. I am very fond of eating puto partnered with dinuguan (pork blood stew) or pansit bihon. But most of the time, I don’t like the taste of the puto that I buy. They have this “maanta” taste that I thought, why not make my own! I discovered White King Puto mix which costs only P25-35 a box and I saw on the box that I will only need water with the mix. I thought, there’s really nothing that much to lose so I tried...

I have very good reasons why I buy vitamin supplements for my daughters. I know that I even if I do my best as a mom to provide the most complete meals, I will still miss some of the essential vitamins the kids need daily. And there are several reasons why that happen, so I  really don’t put all the blame to myself for that. 1. Sometimes, they really don’t like to eat or they have poor appetite. Ayaw ko ng pilitan as much as I don’t want people forcing me to eat if I am not in the mood. 2. There are times when they need...

I always stock a couple of Nissin Instant Cup Noodles in our pantry for days when we need easy to prepare soup to warm our stomach (merienda, when we have colds, or when it’s a rainy day).  I usually buy the seafood flavored cups because they are the tastiest and not “nakakasawa”. Sometimes, I also bring cup noodles when we travel out of the country or when we check in on a hotel. They are the easiest food to carry and you just need hot water and you’ll have something to fill in your tummy. When I got invited...

It’s truly the start of a season of magic and if you want to feel the spirit of Christmas even in this early month of November, bring your family to SM Supermalls. We are sure of that because we were there on the grand Christmas launch held in SM Atrium, The Block, SM North EDSA just this week November 6, 2015. Let me share with you the exciting things my daughter and I enjoyed during that day. The program started with the unveiling of the beautiful Christmas tree as the centerpiece of the celebration. It was sparkling with all...

SM Supermalls will be making all kids and kids-at-heart very happy starting this weekend, November 6 to 8, as they launch  SM’s Grand Christmas celebration where our favorite cartoon and toy characters will come to life. It will all start at SM North Edsa on Friday, November 6, where all-time favorite Disney characters will be present during the launch of “A Season of Magic”. To make the event more meaningful, children from a selected beneficiary will be given a chance to personally meet Disney characters Mickey Mouse and Donald...

I was obliged to write this post hoping to inspire moms not to forget the importance of going out and taking in at least 5-15 minutes of morning sunshine daily. I can attest to this because I myself needed enough sunlight to battle against my mild psoriasis. I had been neglecting being outside of the house lately and so, when my psoriasis flared up, my skin wasn’t able to withstand. My face was red and flaking for several days. Though people who have similar skin deficiencies like me are advised against too much sun, phototherapy...

This week, we had to make an errand and had to make some quick plans to go to Bonifacio Global City. As this place is way far from home, we thought to take advantage of the trip by visiting some places there before we go home. After all, it’s the kids semestral break. From Fairview, QC to BGC We went out from home 5:30am and was there at BGC by 7:00AM by car. It was a weekday, Friday, and traffic was light to moderate during those hours. We took the Katipunan route since it was sembreak and there were no traffic caused by Ateneo....
