Following the food fests in Kapitolyo and Maginhawa, Marikina is proud to present the Lilac Street Food Fest 2015! I have seen the progress of Lilac Street. I live a few minutes away and I can't believe how much it has changed! I have tried many of the restaurants but there's more I still have to visit. I can't wait for Saturday, my friends and I are already planning our brunch. Here are the participants... Thank you www.marikinanegosyo.com for the details and photos. Click here for … [Read more...]
Childproofing with Otterbox
My friends always say, if you don't want your kids to use your gadgets, don't put games. I never put games on my phone (ok maybe Candy Crush!) but my tech savvy kids cannot be stopped. So, I just make sure my phones are well-protected. And for that, there's Otterbox. Otterbox has been creating protective cases since 1998, starting with just plastic boxes to keep our gadgets dry. Until recently, Otterbox's designs have mostly been a bit rugged and bulky. Recently, I was lucky enough to be … [Read more...]
Sweet Dreams with Elica
For my family, change of weather means cough, colds, flu, and eczema. Yes, those red, dry, itchy rashes on skin. The whole family gets those, my husband getting the worse. But for us adults we deal with it easily unlike our little ones who end up scratching those rashes like crazy, even while they are asleep. One of my solutions is Elica. Eczema or as we Filipinos call it, skin asthma, is characterized by red, dry, itchy rashes on the skin. It may be triggered by different factors like dust … [Read more...]
Savoring my Me Time with Pine Sol
Ahhh, some me time. My little kuya just left for football practice with hubby and the little one is still asleep. Finally found time to write this long overdue post on... what else... ME time. It's such an elusive concept for most moms because even when you're sitting on the toilet one of your kid runs in to talk to you. Admit it, it has happened to you many times! Believe it or not, I like to write when I have time for myself. I do the regular primping in the parlor and spa, and indulge in … [Read more...]
A Daddy and Mommy Post: A Captiva-ting Weekend
Chevrolet generously gave us a Chevrolet Captiva to enjoy one weekend. I made hubby drive it (most of the time). Here's his review on the Captiva... DADDY SAYS... Whether I am bound for the office (which is conveniently located within the metropolis) or on official business headed to some distant provincial city or municipality accessible by land, driving a motor vehicle to whichever destination has become a part of my daily routine – not to mention the slow traffic that has become a sort of … [Read more...]
Mommy Notes: My Version of Hell Week
Finally! Hell week is over! Parang feeling ko I was the one who took the exam. I was so anxious for my little kuya this week coz we had our first taste of quarterly exams. I was confident my son could handle most subjects but worried about his AP/Fil. I couldn't help myself, I made sample exams complete with drawings during my lunch break at work. I used these along with the worksheets I downloaded from an online site. I never thought I would go as far as making exams but there was … [Read more...]
#Afternoonbites with Severin and Braun
I am no expert in the kitchen but with kitchen helpers from Severin and Braun (pronounced as "brown"), I feel I can be a domesticated goddess! I happily went to the #Afternoonbites event of Severin and Braun with other mothers/homemakers to get reacquainted with both brands and many products they carry. With a glass of (virgin) lemon and basil refresher in hand, we watched Chef Redj Baron demonstrate several recipes. The dishes were simple enough and made even more easy to prepare … [Read more...]
Moving On
I finally took the plunge and gave my resignation letter to my boss a couple of weeks ago. It was bittersweet for me because the truth is, I love MOST of my co-workers. We're like brothers and sisters. We go through the same heartbreaks and disappointments, although maybe in varying degrees. Like in a family, there are the "favored" children of course. So, they get less "spanking" and "scolding". My decision was years in the making. I think I started entertaining the idea of quitting my job … [Read more...]

Let the kids #PlayForReal
Last week me and my sons went to the Johnson's&Johnson's #PlayForReal playdate. The invitation said to bring extra clothes and towel... which meant there will be dirt. Uh-oh. My boys love to get dirty. They don't get to play outdoors enough with all the gadgets they have. I know, I know, I'm partly to blame with the gadget addiction. It's just so easy for me to just give them the iPads to keep them occupied. Here's a short video, just food for though... O, di ba, doesn't this video make … [Read more...]
