FUJIFILM MINI INSTAX 9 - CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA

I have this thing over instant print cameras. It's fascinating to see pictures develop in front of your very own eyes in less than a minute or so. But since I am always on a tipid mode (for my own self), this particular goal always ends up on the bottom of my list every single year. I let pass of the previous mini series from fujifilm but this year I told myself I got to have one.

HUNT FOR A NEW SKILL: VISIT KODANDA BF HOMES PARANAQUE

My first Archery experience happened late last year at Kodanda Makati branch. It was such a learning and fun experience I immediately develop fondness towards the sport. However, I wasn't able to come back in the range for a long time due to my crazy busy schedule.

Then a good news came in a month ago when I was invited to visit and play Archery once more. Moreover, this time I got to play it at their newly opened branch at BF HOMES Parañaque which happens to be a nearby town from where I lived. At last! I can conveniently return to the range and play Archery whenever I want to. This is a new offering for my fellow southerners too who are on a hunt for some new adventure. ☺

A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER - PSBANK KIDDIE SAVERS ACCOUNT

Last Christmas, I was thinking of giving my little girl a substantial kind of gift that she haven't had before. I wanted to make sure that it will be totally different from the usual gifts she receives in the past three years. After thinking thoroughly, I decided to open her very first savings account. I opted to delay it until the new year due to two long weekends we have for December of 2014 and with my hectic schedule, I didn't have time to go to the bank before the holidays.

A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT HAGOD SPA AND NAILCARE

A GOOD massage is something that I've been longing to have for so long. I've been experiencing some pains on my back, neck and shoulder area for quite some time now and my husband would frequently hear my complains about it and we usually relied on an electric massager help. I felt like I am carrying the weight of the world upon my shoulder (literally) and my muscles were already freaking out one by one from the inside. Then a blessing came in when Ms. Isay invited me to try out HAGOD Spa and Nailcare Service a perfect timing! so I decided to say YES and grab the opportunity. Read on to know more about my experience.

FEELING AT HOME WITH VANTAGE POINT (TRANSIENT ROOMS IN BAGUIO CITY)

When I was looking for a place to stay at Baguio I initially thought of checking out other option like booking at a hotel inside Camp John Hay but after learning that there were no rooms already available during our planned trip (in my surprise as early a November almost all hotels with nice reviews has been booked in advance) I grabbed my phone and decided to contact Sir Ronald of Vantage Point where we stayed during last year's Panagbenga Event. I haven't blog about the place before so this is my little way of commending their services to us.

GETTING TO KNOW FOODPANDA.PH

Balancing work and family life is never an easy task and for a working mom like me (living in a fast-phased digital era) anything that can help me cope up, I will surely appreciate. It is during those time, when I am all exhausted (mostly due to stress caused by traffic) and doesn't have enough time and energy to cook that food delivery comes to my rescue and makes my life easier. Food delivery nowadays has evolve tremendously, with hundreds of restaurants to choose from, providing a wide selection of delicious yet equally healthy meal.

MY TAKE ON RIDING A VICTORY LINER DELUXE BUS

I've been to Baguio a number of times before but my recent trip going back to the place were extra special because I was granted to take my (much needed) vacation and spent the whole three days with my husband and daughter. The trip was long overdue actually so we're blessed to finally made it, in time for our 13th Year Anniversary celebration of being a couple. At first we were concerned about the travel time and having a tot in tow but thanks to Victory Liner Deluxe Bus for letting us have a safe and convenient way going in and out of Baguio. This is not a sponsored blog by the way, just a satisfied customer who had a fair share on providing some of my personal thoughts on HOW CONVENIENT IT IS TO RIDE A VICTORY LINER DELUXE BUS.

NSOHelpline.com, The Travel and Hassle-Free Way of Getting an NSO Birth Certificate

If you need an NSO birth certificate for travel, passport, enrollment, claims, ID application, or VISA processing, going to the nearest NSO Serbilis Outlet is a sure way of getting your hands on that very important document.

However, getting to the nearest NSO Serbilis Outlet is becoming quite a challenge nowadays, with MRT-related concerns all over the news and the ever present traffic jam of the city an omnipresent fact of life. Of course when you successfully arrive at your destination, queuing in line and waiting for the processing is part and parcel of the experience. Add all the effort and expenses, and probably the need to apply for work leave, and you dedicate a day’s worth of your life just to get a copy of your NSO document.

APPRENTICE SNAPSHOT

I have always been a fan of great looking digital photos most especially dramatic subjects in black and white photography. I remember dreaming of having my own DSLR long before compact or point or shoot camera became a hit in the market. I've been working for almost ten years now and so I thought to give myself a break for being too stingy. Just in time when I realized that my daughter is growing up so fast I do not want to missed out her milestones especially the good ones by capturing it on camera. I am into blogging, baking and crafting this year so I can really make use of the camera and I have no qualms about buying it - perfect timing!

Whoop... whoop.. WHOPPER!!

After having a random test and consultation from my doctor last time (not to mention a long queue at outpatient unit that lasted 4 hours all in all), I treated myself and my husband with this undoubtedly "Whopper" Burger from Burger King. 

PAN DE MANILA DELECTABLE DONUTS!

Sorry for a long deafening silence on my page for almost four weeks... hmmm.. There were so many things going on in my life recently, I chose to stop writing rather than publish a half baked article to read. I will share with you about my experience and what I went through when I am ready. But for now, I wanted my come back to be as sweet as the taste of victory... he..he..

The Road Going 30 - Reminiscing Childhood (Sweet thoughts)

Today is Throwback Thursday, right?! Perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite candies while growing up. Here are my top "TEN" favorites in no particular order.

Blushing In Pink

Kids Fashion are so cute and adorable. What I love most about it is how you can play around with the texture, colors and designs in a totally carefree way. If you would ask me, shopping for and dressing up my little girl is one activity I never get tired of doing. 

In one of our family gala time, McKenzie was able to wear the basic 3/4's shirt we purchased from EXPOMOM last month. I think after seeing how happy my girl was that day and the number of likes she got (after her dad posted her picture in Facebook) I think the brand is well deserved to mention. Our newly found brand is none other than the - BUTTER KIDS - 

EXPOMOM BY MOMMY MUNDO

"YOU THE MOM" BY MOMMY MUNDO

I am no shopaholic. I don't consider myself one (hahahaha... my husband would probably say "yeah right!). I do like going around bazaars, bargain centers, UKAY and expo events especially when I have extra time and budget. I love checking out sale items that were not usually seen or displayed in the mall. I looked for products that are useful, unique, fresh (not yet release in the market), affordable and in best quality brands. (I think most mom would agree with me on this one). 

“My Monde Mamon Summer Experience”

Now that McKenzie is in her toddler years and it is a perfect time for us to help her explore and learn new things. We planned to give her some summer workshop and fun tutorials in the comfort of our home". I initially thought of sending her to summer camps before but some issues like age limits, budget constraints, schedules and location become my concerns that I failed to do so. But that doesn't stop me in giving her what she deserves even at a very young age and that is to develop and hone her skills and interest. If one thing doesn't work then always have a plan B (as my husband would always tell me) so I decided to have a different approach in achieving a fun and worthwhile summer experience by listing activities that we can do together as a family.
