Ever heard of NAMCYA (National Music Competitions for Young Artists)? First time I’ve heard of NAMCYA was when I was in high school. Our Glee Club (still glee club back then since Special Performing Arts [SPA] classes were not yet established during my time) was shortlisted to compete in the choir category. I was not part of the glee club but my bestfriend was so I’ve heard stories of their experiences. When my youngest brother was in high school, he was part of the Special Performing Arts class. He joined the choir and loved it from that time on. I […]
The Nivea Sale 2016
It’s that time of year again. The Nivea sale came in a bit early this year (It was May 1-3 last year, if I’m not mistaken). I was not totally prepared so I only got a few. Last year, I was not able to get the bar soap because it was already out of stock all over when I decided to join in the fun of hoarding. 🙂

Manila Workshops: Managing Family Budget and Income
Managing finances and budgeting my income has always been a struggle for me. I am an impulsive buyer when the mood strikes, especially when I think I have the funds for it. Most of the time, I end up spending way more that the allotted amount. I have always shrugged it off though, thinking that I could make up for it on the next pay day. However, when I had my son, I realized that I have not really prepared for him financially. I was having the same line of thought – that I can always make up for it […]
The Nivea Stock Pile
*Disclaimer: this is an unsponsored post. I do use Nivea products every now and then. I actually like the brand especially their moisturizing cream and their lip balms. (I’m a sucker for lip balms but I don’t care much about lipsticks). Nivea had a big sale from May 1 and will end tomorrow (technically today on this side of the world), May 9. I didn’t have plans of purchasing any until my sister texted me if I could buy her lip balms. My facebook newsfeed was filled with photos of “hoarded” Nivea products and I thought maybe I should buy […]
