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 ...
