 Hi to our Readers! I apologize it has been a while since the last blog that I have written. I have been not into writing blogs for the past 4 or 5 years maybe. Well, I have been busy making ends meet, I focused more on my career, and now at the end of the year 2020, I have been reflecting on what have I done meaningful, and is it worth living for the past 4 to 5 years. Well, first of all, I want to share with you guys that I gave birth to my son last January of this year. Yehey for that! And guess what, he is now turning 1 year old next year.  Now, looking back on my almost 5 years of service in the government, made me think if I really deserve all the stress I have been into. Compensation wise, I am grateful my salary is beyond what I had when I first start working, and yet the tasks assigned to me have been piling up like crazy, had lots of things to do, that I am not sure if I really made the right choice and if I am really happy with what I am doing. In my first 2 years, ...

Jonaxx is one of the best writers I've been following on Wattpad and another series of her has captured my curiousity, which later on I have fell in love with - the Island of Fire Series 3. Even though the story is still on progress (Chapter 20 as of December 2016), I guess a lot of Jonaxx's follower has been waiting for every chapter published every week. The story is about a typical brattinela who disgusts a nerdy teenager, but on the later years of her life will be her knight in a shining armor. Typical story yet you can't get enough of their chemistry. Hope you could read more of the story provided with some basic information listed below: Title: Island of Fire Series: Yes (3rd 😄) Author: Jonaxx Language: Filipino Ongoing Story: Yes Lesson that can be learned from the story: Minsan talaga ang Prince Charming mo makikilala mo sa panahong hindi mo iniexpect, aayawan mo siya kasi yubg hinahanap mo ay hindi mo nakikita sa kanya. Pero sa panahong kailangan mo...

Credits to drawingsomeone.com I could clearly remember that the last time I was a fan, crazy fan to be exact of a singer or group of singers was when I was in highschool. I bet you could still remember the time we've gone crazy shouting, humming, waving our hand and crying like there is no tomorrow. Westlife, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, A1 are some of those boyband I hooked up with. Not to mention Mariah Carey, Celine Dion as the singers in the limelight. Years had passed, I was busy studying, working, eating, sleeping and stressing myself out. But one day, I have watched a Youtube video of a singer named - Ed Sheeran. My perceprtion was - 'okey, wait, what is with this singer'. I mean he undoubtly play good song. Wait, he really did play his original composition? Like, 'what the heck, did he really composed all of it? and arranged those songs? No song revivals?'.  I said to myself - 'wait,.. I need a break. What is with this man?'. I have se...

Book title: Dalawang Bayani ng Bansa Author: Rene O. Villanueva Publisher: Adarna House Age Recommendation: 10 years old up Language: Filipino Genre: History Content: 5/5 Illustration: 5/5 Book Analysis: This story covers the life of Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio from birth to grave. It also states the fact or truth about Bonifacio's death that is neglected in almost but not all history books. Although it indirectly state that Bonifacio's death is because of Aguinaldo, it hangs questions on why and what is the truth about his later life. Reconmendation: Not that I am a fanatic of History Books but I recommend this to all the parents out there. Why? I have inferred that we do not have much love for our rich history. If we have, well it doesn't suffice. History is the roots of our society and culture. That is our history. We own it and we have to pass it own to the younger generation. Want to have a review for another book? Feel free to comment!

Mula sa blog ng Lucban History Society Ako ay pumunta sa isang search engine upang makita kung maari ko na bang mapanood ang pelikulang Bonifacio. Isa ako sa magusig na tagahanga ni Bonifacio at marami na rin akong nabasa at napanood na may kaugnayan sa kanya. Sa pagbabasa ko sa mga komento nakita ko ang isang ito.. AySiJunneth Junneth   1 week ago "Hindi ko itinataya ang buhay ko para magkaganito tayo.Hindi ako ang kalaban."-Andres Bonifacio anyone know kung sino ung punyetang nangmata sa pinag aralan ni Andres Bonifacio? Sarap itakin ung mukha eh! At ito ang aking isinagot sa kanyang komento na nagpausbong sa aking kamalayan na 'oh wait, hindi lang ito ang nais ipakita ng pelikula kundi may mas malalim pa na dahilan kung bakit napasama ito sa pelikula'. Maaraing may malalim na pinaghuhugutan ang pelikulang ito, o maaaring biased pero maaring basahin mo muna ang itinugon ko. Lach Pacio (PM Prints)   1 second ago At hanggang ngayon a...

Yes, you have heard it right. It was a homebased online English tutorial which I applied for a week ago. As I have undergone the interview and training, I felt happy and at the same time anxious. I also feel bad after my final teaching demonstration with my Chinese student, not because I didn't do well but because she act more superior than I am during class discussion & she evaluates me after (aside from hating Chinese authorities from claiming Spratly and West Philippine sea, NAH! Blame my patriotism with our country). A sign from which I ingnored since it is part of her job and mine, too. So there you go, I had been more anxious since my daughter went to and from my lightning while having a video class. To the point that I got angry at her, spank her to the fullest and blame her for reason I do not know. Least thing I know is that I realize how wrong I am. That it is hard to seperate work from mommy duties if you have a boss and if you are working at home. Then I am f...

Have you ever heard the word 'wattpad'? If you have watched movies 'Diary ng Pangit' and 'Talk Balk and your Dead', then you are into the trend. Meet Wattpad. It is an app in mobile and PC made or originates in Canada. Some may ask what is Wattpad? It is a portal where a person can read free e-books and one can write a story too.. And why and how can I say I am a Wattpad Addict? Well, I spent 4-5 hours or more just to read a story everyday! I even forgot how to clean the house and wash the dishes because I am so hook into reading. On my next blog, I will have a tutorial on how to install and how to read stories without wifi or data connection. Ciao! I haven't posted a follow-up blog on how to install wattpad then! HAHAHA seems that I am really that busy LOL! 

I am not fund of playing lego, and I do not have a creative mind to construct one. But after watching the Lego Movie, I then had an idea that it takes a rich mind to construct buildings by using lego blocks. And my daughter is NOT an exception. We went to SM Aura and went to Toy Kingdom. She then saw a lego corner, and there she had constructed her first horse. She mentioned that what she have created a horse. I can see a horse, and I hope you could see it, too! (haha). On a serious note, never in my life would I ever encounter my child's creation using Lego, as in n-e-v-e-r, not until now. She told that she have created Tatay Lance's bed. Look how amazing and how sweet she could be! And the castle where her Tatay and the horse would stay. Isn't it amazing? That is how bountiful her ideas are. And to top it all, she ends up crying for she wants to play all day long, and we are dead tired for we have stayed 2 long hours. Have you experienced the s...

I am a mother of two-year old pattotie and I am proud to say that my daughter is healthier than I am. Why? Because her habits are all good. We all know that habit comes from a repetitive action. If we say repetitive, action is done not once, not randomly but every single day. To make this 'healthy living' a reality, we make sure that we also change our habit for we should do what we preach. 1. 'Less softdrinks' campaign. We encourage our daughter to drink more water, and crave less in softdrinks or sodas. It is easy for a child to change habit but a bit difficult for us adults (if I am not wrong). 2. Let her join you into daily activities like jogging or swimming. These activities influences your child to be physically fit and active. 3. Encourage your child and your family to eat more vegetables and fruits. Involve them in choosing fruits or vegetables. My daughter is involve on what fruit she will eat. There you go, teach your child to a healthy livi...

My blog followers are fully aware that I am really a 'Kuripot' (thrifty) person. I had this slippers - Salvatos - and it is an expensive one. My rough estimation is it cost around 800 - 1,800 php. Now I  had it and you can ask me how I got this expensive slippers for free. Ask me. HOW? Well, I got it as a major prize in one of Belle de Jour's event 'Meet the Dream Chasers' . Good thing about this slippers is that it is (one) lightweight. Second, it is fold-able, so you can bring it anywhere. Third, it has a plastic casing - so after using it whether it is dry or wet - is that you can easily put it inside you bag. Fourth, the surface to which it contacts the sole is not slippery when it got wet/during rainy days. Lastly, this slipper is hard enough to support one's weight. Your heel will not feel pain or will not ache even if you walk for hours. This slippers is a must-buy, must-wear item. Thanks to BDJ! Really lucky to have this slippers! What other...

I attended a Belle de Jour event and a first for me last June 14, 2014 at 2nd Balcony, Eastwood Mall. I had a great time meeting new people and listened to good talks. But what makes every girl excited is the Belle de Jour Pack which is given after the event. Here are the items inside the BDJ paper bag. I have received products from SkinFood. A tumbler and notebook from Mister Donut. A privilege card from Ace Water Spa. Free photos from Canon's photobooth. A giveaway from Goody. One of my favorite - Pantene Pack. It includes Pantene Conditioner and Pantene Miracle Water. And of course, I can't live without jutting down notes in my Belle de Jour Power Planner. Next time, I will try to write my reviews about these products as well as my understanding on the talk that we had in this event. Ciao! #BDJPowerPlanner #BelledeJour #PerksofaBella So happy to be part of this family! Proud Bella here!

The weather is too hot,  I was craving to drink Starbucks coffee and yet I was too lazy to go outside. Out of the blue, my husband cooked first the gelatin from the sachet. It's been a long time since I bought it and I don't know when to use it.  After cooking the gelatin, he bought a condensed milk plus a sachet of instant coffee.  And voila! New Coffee Craze made by my hubby Lance. I really love the coffee because it is really refreshing to taste. It is also an affordable refreshment for your guests, too. This tastes like heaven! Want to try this again! Any other recommendation?

Two months ago we decided to go to the house of hubby's best friend. Since his best friend is working abroad, we mainly went there to visit. To my surprise, my daughter took the cellular phone and take good shots. Here are the shots that she took.. I could say she has an eye for photography. Her shots are not that proportion but she knows what her subject is. I am not saying she's good just because she is my daughter but because she has a talent that I have just discovered. I hope there is a camera that is high in pixel that can be used by toddlers. At the age of three, she can do this kind of stuff? Waaaah!

To tell you honestly, I am skeptic about food. I really love to eat toothsome and palatable food but I made some conditions in eating those food - it should be inexpensive and at the same time the three of us should eat it. I am really frank about these standards of mine for the reason that our family falls to a middle and not-so-poor-but-nearly-poor class (tell you the reasons next time). Then we went to McDonalds to eat something salty and would satisfy our binge eating habit.  Then I suddenly saw a picture of their new meal. (This article is not being paid by McDonalds. I just wrote this to those who want cheap finds.) An ad about their new product - McDonalds' BFF Fries and Float combo. I didn't even hesitate  to order this one because first - we love their coke floats, second - we love eating french fries and third - it only cost 150php good for 3. Not only those reasons but mainly because I want to eat longer than the usual and want to spent more time with t...

Honestly speaking, I am not that kind of person who spend a lot of money for food, except if it is worth the price. So here it goes, last time my husband saw a donut stall at Market! Market! and says "Markdown Price for 20php". I was hesitant at first because I am not sure if it worth buying, and 20php is too expensive for a 'Kuripot' (Thrifty) person like me. Since my husband is aware that I am kuripot, he decided to buy it for us so that we can try this Go Nuts 20 pesos donut. Go Nuts 20php Donut Craze Undoubtedly, I taste soooo good. My daughter actually liked it.. Look at the picture below.. My daughter have eaten this all by herself. She now have a happy tummy. She can't help but smile because it really delicious, plus the fact that has a chocolate icing on top. The taste is worth its price.

"This is one of the craziest thing I have ever seen in SM Malls..  and that is their shopping carts. " We went to shop their and to my amazement - I wasn't able to move for few second thinking if this is for real - in a Philippine shopping mall. While my daughter hurriedly went to try it for a ride. I think she taught she was really 'into a ride' (hi hi). So then my hubby let her ride this amazing shopping cart and  HOLA!  She can't even escape even if she want to.  We just told her to enjoy the ride. Just sit, & relax. This shopping cart is beneficial to us parents because it makes our shopping time less stressful and meaningful at the same time. No wonder she wants to go back to the Supermarket if we pass by into the place. Disclaimer: This ad is not sponsored/paid by SM Aura et. al. The author just find this cart amusing! For the adults, please don't try to be ride this cart - it is really dangerous for your spinal cord! (haha)...

Sa sobrang sama ng loob ko ngayong gabi ay gusto ko lang po pagtagpi-tagpiin ang mga saloobin ko. Kasi kung di ko sasabihin e, baka sumama lang lalo ang loob ko at ang mas malala e mabulok na lang ito sa loob ng dibdib ko. Here it is: Pag wala kang kailangan, bigla kang nakakalimot. Pero pag may kailangan ka, bigla kang nakakaalala. Ano ako, gamit? Tapos pag may alam ka at ayaw mo i-share, okey lang. Pag ako na ang ayaw mag-share, madamot agad. Ano ito, lamangan? Pag kailangan ka, bobola-bolahin ka. Ikaw naman si Uto-uto, papauto ka rin. Ano 'to, paulit-ulit na gaguhan? Pag ako may kailangan, ok lang na di mo tugunan. Pero pag ikaw ang may kailangan at di matugunan, ako pa ang masama. Ano 'to, santa ka? Kelan pa? Punong puno Punong puno na Punong puno na ng pag-ibig Ang aking puso na tipong  Di na kayang tiisin ang masama mong gawi. Kelan pa? Kelan mo pa ba ipaparamdam sa'kin na mahalaga ako kahit wala kang kailangan? ...

I have existed for 25 years and my Christmas Wish every year is to have a healthy life but not last year.  I got this gift and hope to receive my Belle de Jour Card soon. I will also feature this planner as soon as possible. Ciao!

It is very unusual to see my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law and my husband to be in a mall and drink together. My husband told me it has been a long time since they had a gathering as this. So after the dinner with the family, we still decided to go for a walk and then we got tired and luckily my sister-in-law treat us some drinks at Seattle's Best Coffee at Bonifacio High Street. Here is the glimpse of our bonding. It is not only the 3 of them because I and my daughter are with them and my brother-in-law's girlfriend is with us, too! Coffee is good, ambiance is better than any SBC and we really had fun.

                                                                             Strike with a pose! Before we end the day, I decided to take a photo with my daughter. It was nice seeing her happy after minutes of crying and asking for her father's help because of the dirt in his feet.                     Swim Baby! Swim! We really want her to know how to swim, and sh has crying too loud because she was then afraid of the water. Hope to come back in here so she could practice more! Foot Cover  Good thing my husband borrowed this foot cover that is a great aid for me in walking through the sand. Sunset It was really nice to see this beautiful scene with the people you love. Photo with the Family I have in ...
