Hello there! It's been a while, I suddenly missed this page. If you're following me on Instagram, you might notice that i hadn't posted as often as before. Sometimes, it took me a week or more before i could post updates on my social media pages although once in a while i do postings only on Instagram stories. Well, because it's the quickest way to keep my followers posted, like "Hey! I'm still alive and kicking!" Hahaha! But seriously, life's been sooooo busy talaga lately. I feel like I was chasing time day after day with all my to-do lists. It's crazy!

Some days are simply meant for playing. Being a child once in my life, i can say that I'd never live a day or week without experiencing play. I have gathered the most wonderful and happiest throwbacks in my memory bank from playtime. And even if I'm already a mom- having three wonderful kids around, i still love the idea of play. Like the saying goes, "we do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing". And i couldn't agree more! I'm always a kid at heart, specially when i have the kids in tow.

Hola! I made a promise months ago that i will be sharing some tips and tricks about pregnancy and parenting. But due to my overloaded lists of to-do's and schedules, i wasn't able to do so. As of this writing, i am actually multi-tasking. Joggling between my deadlines for blog assignment contracts due today, while reading and studying some legal documents and memorandums due for signing in a week's time. PLUS, nursing a little baby boy who's getting so active and playful. No, I am not complaining, because busyness means abundant blessings for me and this is life. I am embracing it!

It's the time of the year again when bunnies will be out to scatter Easter eggs and lets you find where the golden one is. Still, i honestly do not know what's the connection between Easter eggs, the Lent and the Bunny. (Too busy to do some research about it, hahaha!) But i am in the look out for some fun activities for my kids this year to celebrate Easter Sunday!

It's been a while since we last joined an Easter egg-hunting activity and i thought of gathering here some awesome Easter egg hunting destinations or events which i have found around the area and South of Manila. You may want to check this out and decide where to bring your family to celebrate the Easter.

The summer heat is on! Can you feel it? I've been quite skeptical to go out these days due to the scorching sun. In fact, I've been staying indoors most of the time and yet i still sweat even without heavy work and it's quite uncomfortable. But that doesn't mean i hate summer! In fact, summer is one of my favorite season, not just because it's beach time, but because i get to play with summer colors, and light and comfy summer dresses. And i would love to share one here!

Good news, Southerners! Finally, the long wait is over! LANDERS SUPESTORE Alabang Branch has opened its doors last March 14, 2018. I know this superstore is going to be your new favorite shopping hub for anything nice and fancy for your home, kitchen, pantry and even your daily shopping  and lifestyle needs!

#HANGINfection is not just a hype. These tiny, invisible germs in the air are real, and they are around us. Yes, even if you don’t touch germs, the germs can touch you! While we can’t see them with our naked eye, it does not mean we can’t fight them. 

Did you know that germs can touch you, even if you don't touch them?

We all know that germs can be passed through person-to-person contact or touching dirty objects. What many of us don't know is that germs live in the air, too. If you believe that not touching anything or anyone can keep germs at bay, you better think again. 

“#HANGINfection, technically known as Bioaerosols, refers to airborne germs such as bacteria, fungi and viruses that may cause skin reactions and respiratory sickness. Bioaerosols can come from a variety of sources, including soil, organic debris, humidifiers, air conditioners, and even farming and industrial pollution. The human body is also a source of bioaerosols: Shed human skin, coughing and sneezing can all contribute to airborne germs. These can make you sick in unexpected ways. For example, when you sneeze, most of the germs are transmitted at close range, but you need not be close to fall sick, as the smallest particles stay airborne and can travel as far as 20 meters.” says Dr. Pierangeli Vital, Ph.D. Biology (Microbioliogy), University of the Philippines Diliman.

Good thing, Safeguard, Philippine's Number 1 Family Skin Germ Protection Soap, partners with Pambansang Bae Alden Richards to spread the word about #HANGINfection and how to fight it. The fun part? They didn’t just make it informative. They also made it fun and nostalgic!

The "I Wash It That Way" music video gives a Backstreet Boys hit song a fresh spin to uncover the truth behind #HANGINfection. As told in the music video, #HANGINfection can reach us, including our children, even if we’re not touching anything or anyone. In short, we don’t just touch germs. They touch us, too! 

“We know airborne germs are present in outdoor and indoor locations, and only Safeguard provides long lasting protection versus other soaps in the market,” says Ronaldo Puno, President of The Philippine Association of Medical Technologists, Inc. (PAMET).

For more than 50 years now, Safeguard has been providing Filipinos their first line of defense against germs, inhibiting the growth of disease-causing germs up to 24 hours after washing. 

Join Alden and Safeguard in spreading awareness about #HANGINfection! Watch and share the "I Wash It That Way" music video on Safeguard’s Facebook and YouTube. Do your share as it matters in the fight against airborne germs. As Alden stresses in the jingle, basta HANGINfection, Safeguard ang protection.

I guess the love month just slipped through the 365 pages of my 2018. I wasn't able to feel the valentines! Speaking of valentines, just like chocolates, flowers and cakes, life is still and will always be sweet specially when I'm with my kids.

Talking about sweets, just a day after Valentines, my kids and I visited the newest attraction in Manila where everything you can find are sweet sugary desserts!

Hola! It's been a while since i last posted about my whereabouts and gastronomic diaries. 

Did you miss me? Hahaha!

Life's been really busy ever since i had my newborn. And it seemed like i was moving on a fast lane for the past 6 months as i haven't blogged about anything personal, including my birthing story (which is on my drafts) and now my baby is turning 6 months in a week's time! Where did time go???

It's like i lose track of the blogosphere too, 'coz I've been feeling like an alien at this moment of writing. Hahaha! Well, I've really decided to take blogging on a slow pace except for some major projects and brand collaborations that i cannot turn down yet. But please don't be sad, because i will still be writing on this page once in a while but not as often like before due to my call of duty, career, family and new ventures for the year. I always love sharing meaningful thoughts and opinions because it is my creative release. But, i will be doing it on a slow pace this year.
