What's up Philippines

I am still overwhelmed of how beautiful this movie is. It was really true from the interviews I did with them especially Bela Padilla that this movie will not dwell on the heartaches and problems, it did show the beauty of moving on, the beauty of Bantayan Island in Cebu and the beauty of new friendships. This is for everyone, whatever the state of your heart is, the maturity of this film will teach you so many lessons in life. The roles really suits the ladies, if it as if it was meant for them all along, and if I may, I wanted to commend Bela Padilla's acting, it was superb, she already got my attention when she was still with "Ang Probinsyano" but here in Camp Sawi, my admiration for her in terms of acting made me whisper in my seat "Grabe and galing ni Bela". You see, I am not in any state sad or heart broken, I am actually happy but, I felt Bela's emotions in the film, it's as if my husband left me too, argh! Please do watch the movie, go get everyo...

You know that feeling of eating fresh seafood like crabs and shrimps is like only available when you go out of town or to the beach. But no need to wait for that moment because Blue Post Boiling Crabs and Shrimps is now open at the 4th level of The Block in SM North, now are you craving? Blue Posts is very proud of this restaurant because they offer the fresh seafood from Davao, from crabs to shrimps to tuna belly and oh there's native chicken too (not seafood ha lol!) We were served first of their Calamares, this one is the the best I tasted so far because if was really fresh the squid was really tender and every bite is worth it (may laman not puro breading). Then we had Sinuglaw, the Davao version of fresh tuna, with radish and apple slices, cuts of fried liempo and finished off with us squeezing the calamansi, oooh it was heavenly perfect. The Grilled Tuna Belly with lots of fried garlic makes me want to eat fish forever. But if you don't want to be messy they also have cra...

As a homemaker I am very particular with the products I use at home especially now that we have a toddler. I am more concious of both the quality and the price, if it suits our needs and our budget, but I can also be an immediate loyal consumer once a product really delivers and stats true to its promise regardless if it is pricey than the rest of its competitors. I am not really familiar with Mighty Mom as a dishwashing liquid, you see we use the one that is advertised and it is effective as well but a few years back I had a skin irritation and had to stop using it, although it is still part of our grocery list ot was used in the household but not by me. I searched for another dishwashing liquid which is organic and you know how expensive "organic" is, so yeah I had to buy my own which means an added cost to the budget. So going back to Mighty Mom, during the media launch I have no doubt about it being a grease cutter since we did some demo and the price really suits the bud...

It is back! Oh not as if it was absent but our favorite McDonald's French Fries that I personally deep in their yummy gravy has an exciting treat for us! Say hello to McDonald's Shake Shake Fries and yes they have 3 flavors for us to devour with friends and family. We got to try them during the Shake and Freeze Media Party held at the McDonald's store, The Forum, BGC where we had some games and raffles before we were served with freshly fried french fries ready to be shaken by the super yummy BBQ, Creamy Cheddar and Garlic Butter (my personal fave). Shaking them up is so fun and exciting knowing that after the shaking is the tasting. And it does not end there, of course drinks should be next and the best pair for this is the McFreeze oh yes I chose Royal and of cpurse there is Coke too. Super amazing tandem, so when tou go visit your fave McDonald's store remember to Freeze and Shake ayt! P.S. Amazing Jing and I were part of the 6 winners who did the shake and freeze ga...

So after the fun in letting my one year old eat different kinds of food like vegetables, breads and fruits, I am now in question if it is the right time to teach him how to brush his teeth or at least introduce it to him at one year and 2 months. But for now he will just have to watch us do it first and in the future we could try CLIO. ------- Get creative and make routine tasks like eating with a spoon and fork or brushing their teeth fun Is your baby now a toddler? Now’s the time to teach them to do things on their own. As a parent, you have the privilege of helping them further enjoy their toddler years by teaching them to be independent and fully capable to do simple tasks on their own. While teaching energetic toddlers may not be a walk in the park, incorporating a good dose of fun will always do the trick. But first, you have to set an example for your child. Toddlers often mimic what their parents do, whether on how to use a spoon and fork, how to drink from a glass, or how to b...

At first I was not interested about this movie until teasers came out one after the other. My first take basing it on the title and the clips? This might be another hugot, emote, pabebe film which is super uso nowadays, you'll wake up to it everyday on social media. Then I was invited to their mall show in Market Market Taguig and was given a chance for an interview with the Camp Sawi ladies namely Kim Molina, Yassi Pressman, Arci Munoz and Bela Padilla (Andi Eigennman was not feeling well that time- absent) So anyway during the conversations, yup we don't do interviews we are like chatting, that is how we do it, the ladies shared their thought about their break-ups and said the hurt must be felt so one could be able to move on, that they wanted a real Camp Sawi for people who would be needing a support group because they said no one even your closest friends would be able to understand what you are feeling because every pain is different from the other. What surprised me as Be...

Jeunesse Anion sanitary pads recently held a Zumba party at the Marriot for bloggers. The room was filled with mostly mommy bloggers who wants to do some shaking to get those stress out of our system, what's more exciting is that the one hour zumba party will be lead by non-other that the very sexy and fab Regine Tolentino. After the Zumba-mazing non stop dancing, healthy food was served which was enjoyed by everyone, oooh a day of healthy living is just so wonderful, can we do this everyday? Lol! So anyway it took me a couple of weeks to actually write about Jeunesse Anion because I wanted to really try it, hence I have to wait for my monthly visitor of course. I checked out our favorite grocery and supermarket to know how the pricing of Jeunesse competes with the regular commercialized brands, oooh a bit pricey, which made me more curious about this product. So, I was now able to try it and now I undesrtand why, it really is absorbent? The panty liner felt like I wasn't even ...

I have been with James Reid and Nadine Lustre a couple of times already, had pictures and interviews with them as well, but this was the first event wherein I saw them with their fans. I am also a JaDine fan of course and I am thankful to get to meet them up close, but to see other fans loving them even from afar is a different story, a story of pure love for JaDine. After the fans day for the launch of their new forever love from Jollibee, I realized why people wants to stay and wait to see them, becasue the hashtag #TeamReal is really for real, they have the sparks in their eyes, the kilig smiles and they are just as they are, they don't need to caress each other the whole time just to make people believe because just by looking at them up on stage, you will know that it is real. And aside from being real, they are so game as well, they interact with their fans and play games with no arte at all. Oh they are loved because they love them (fans) bavk as well. Now I understand more ...

As a first time mom, it was tough to make decisions for my baby, I would always ask my pedia, family and friends for recommendations and tips, but because they have a lot to say and sometimes contradicting, I got confused on which ones to follow and what really is effective. Reading online articles also added up a little stress in the quest to know and give what is best for my baby, I am always careful and question myself many times if what I was doung was right, and mostly ended up feeling upset because I think I did not do well. As I was invited by Nido to welcome their newest endorser Sarah Lahbati, I got excited since she is also a first time mom and would love to know her experience of being one especially having both her mom and mom-in-law who guides her. A question was asked: What if there were suggestions given by both her mom and mom-in-law who would she follow? Sarah answered: Myself! And then it dawned on me, of course myself, that is the best answer and sometimes the best t...
