Kathryn and Liza’s Kitchen Bestfriend

6 November 2016 No Comments

The kitchen used to be a scary place for young people and cooking was a daunting task reserved for mothers and household helps. But technology played a role in guiding people around the kitchen. Nowadays, new cooks search online for cooking videos or check out “food hacks” to be able to produce any dish they want that they can, in turn, show off on social media. Young celebrities Kathryn Bernardo and Liza Soberano also enjoy cooking for their loved ones. They are the newest tandem to endorse AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning. Apart from what can be found in the Internet, Kathryn […]

Z Is No Longer A Baby

3 November 2016 No Comments

Z is definitely growing up so fast. He just turned 3 last August and I have been watching him closely for quite some time now. I can’t really say that he is still a baby (literally) because I can feel how heavy he already is whenever I carry him (which is most of the time). He only wants to be cuddled when he’s not feeling well else he wants to just run around and play with his toys. He still definitely loves cars, music, books and water.

Product Review: Mom Plus+ by Tupperware Brands

2 November 2016 34 Comments

Being a Mom, our priority is the welfare of our kids that we often forget to take care of ourselves. We spend time making sure that our kids have everything they need, that they have all the protection they need – from vaccinations to knee pads, and that we are just an arm’s reach when they need us. We do all these and try to let go of the smallest things that we used to take for granted – like taking a bath, for example. Right? I mean for moms, a 5-minute shower is considered long. What more for an hour’s worth of […]

Philippine Homeschool Conference 2016: A Few Takeaways from Keynote Speakers

1 November 2016 No Comments

I have always been fascinated by the concept of homeschooling since I was a kid. Some of the kids in church that I played with were homeschoolers and the idea of staying at home and receiving education was considered awesome for someone who had gone to a traditional school. As I grew older, I have seen and learned more about homeschooling that had not only fascinated me but made me want to homeschool my kids in the future. So when I learned that there was a homeschool conference happening, I didn’t hesitate to sign up. So, on October 22, I woke […]

Roadtrips and Holidays

28 October 2016 No Comments

After five and a half months, we are at home here in the mountain city for the holidays. We have about a week of cool weather though given the long weekend due to the All Saints’ Day holiday, I am expecting an influx of tourists in the mountain city (as it has been previously). Anyway, given that it’s been almost half the year before I got to be on a long bus ride with the little boy and on vacation for almost a week, I actually had a hard time packing what we needed to bring. Since the little boy […]

Blabber Chapter: 3 AM

27 October 2016 No Comments

I’ve been told a long time ago that 3AM is the time when we are most vulnerable. Recently, I’ve seen this pass by my Facebook newsfeed, too. Well, it must be true. Being the nocturnal person that I am, being asleep at 3AM is rare for me. Working the night shift for so long screwed up my body clock, I guess. Now that I work the mid-shift, I still find myself awake at this hour. By the time I get home at around midnight until the wee hours in the morning is what I consider my quiet time. It is […]

MBP’s Mad Hatter Halloween Party

26 October 2016 No Comments

It’s been almost two weeks since the Halloween party of Mommy Bloggers Philippines and it is just now that I am able to sit down and blog about it. It felt like the event happened just this weekend, though. LOL! Anyway, it was our second time to attend a Halloween party. I’m serious. We don’t believe in Halloween so when I was younger, we never participated in any trick-or-treat events. The first ever Halloween party that I’ve attended was MBP’s first Halloween party two years ago. 🙂 You can read more about it here. Last year, my son and I were not […]

The Science Circus Opens at The Mind Museum

20 October 2016 No Comments

MANILA, Philippines – Science Circus: Step Right Up! is the latest traveling exhibition of The Mind Museum, showcasing the amusing, the peculiar, and the extraordinary in our everyday experiences, in the form of interactive exhibits that deceive the senses and boggle the mind. Be ready to #EnterTheScienceCircus this coming October 28, 2016! While the nearly 250-year history of the circus abounds with awe-inspiring demonstrations of physical skill – such as high-flying aerial artists, to death-defying daredevils – the Science Circus challenges our traditional notions of a circus by focusing on the mind’s “acrobatic” perceptual tricks. As the guests enter the […]

Mad Hatter Hat – A DIY Project

17 October 2016 No Comments

I love crafts. When I was a kid, I got interested in needleworks – sewing, crocheting, knitting, embroidery (mostly cross-stitching). I even helped my Mom make small items out of popsicle sticks – like letter holders, pen holders, and photo frames – which we have sold during community bazaars around Christmas time. In my high school days, I learned how to make friendship bracelets out of embroidery threads and have given some of them to family and friends. And about 6-7 years ago, I tried my hand at beadwork. I bought a lot of beads, strings, and even tools including magazines and books (I scoured these from thrift shops) to start me […]

Product Review: Baby Care Plus+ by TupperwareBrands

15 October 2016 15 Comments

Before I became a Mom, I was oblivious to the differences of baby products out in the market. I was not aware of all the news regarding harmful chemicals included in baby skin care lines. I never even considered the fact that there are harmful chemicals in baby products. I always assumed that all of them were safe. I was so grateful for the fact that my sister used to work in a health and beauty store and had attended seminar and workshops regarding the products that they carried. It was her who informed me about parabens, for one. After all the medical confinement of […]
