Smart and Easy Travel Tips You Have to Know


The most seasoned travellers can attest--it’s really the little things that make the biggest difference when you’re exploring new territory.

A few upgrades here and there and the necessary nuisance of going through airport security or going for a long-haul journey becomes a breeze; you might even get a couple of perks along the way.

"My Big Bossing" expected to be the big one among 2014 MMFF entries


Watching any local mainstream films in the cinema is not my thing to be honest.
But when it comes to any Enteng kabisote's films, that i must watch.
Who could forget the story of the favorite "Tagalupa" who fell in love with a fairy?
I faithfully watched each episode when I was still a fetus. Hah!
When you grew up in the 80's-90's ,you know that all Vic Sotto's movies showed emphasis on family values that makes it work for the viewers over the years.

As the Christmas season draws near, the movie battle for the 40th Metro Manila Film Festival shall begin concurrently.

Why kids love McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits


McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits are still enjoyed by many, even after more than 100 years since its creation and first efforts in manufacturing.
It has been an all-time favorite snack by the British during English tea time and it has grown to this day as a well-loved biscuit snack not only in the United Kingdom, but also in other parts of the world as well.
No wonder, McVitie’s has become the undisputed king of biscuits.
These great-tasting biscuits can be enjoyed any way you can, any time of the day, and with any one you want to be with or you are with.
Each McVitie’s Digestive biscuit contains high amounts of fiber because of its whole wheat flour content.
It has fewer calories, zero cholesterol and transfat, and less fructose corn syrup and artificial ingredients that can potentially harm the body.

While McVitie’s Original Digestive has gained its reputation as the “go-to” biscuit for your everyday snack with your favorite beverages like coffee or tea, and even cold drinks especially with juices, McVitie’s has made variants of the old favorite to cater to more discriminating tastes.
McVitie’s Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate join the family of digestives to make anyone who has a sweet tooth crave for more.
But enjoying McVitie’s Digestives doesn’t mean that we only need to eat them like biscuits.
There are other ways of enjoying such treats, and all you need to do is to be creative enough to think of ways.
You can always add sweet condiments like syrups and jams.
If you are on the more adventurous side, savory delights like tuna and corned beef are always an option.
But there is more to McVitie’s than just being a biscuit.

It can also be grinded into bits and serve as a base for some of the most favorite easy-to-make desserts at home.
Layers of ground McVitie’s Original Digestives would work great on your refrigerated cake as a base. You could also use these crumbs for your cupcakes.
To add design and flavor, bits of Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate McVitie’s Digestive could also be used as bits to accentuate cakes and cupcakes as well.

These yummy digestives could also be enjoyed in small packs, especially for those who are always on the go.
McVitie’s even has McVitie’s Kids Range for kids, with famous cartoon characters  who kids love like The Smurfs, Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Justice League, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even the McVitie’s own Private Crew.

McVitie’s is available nationwide in leading supermarkets.

It is distributed in the Philippines by Delfi Marketing Inc.

Go Karting inside Quezon City Memorial Circle


Amidst the chaotic elliptical road ,a piece of paradise can be found that is definitely worth visiting with the whole family.

Quezon City Memorial Circle is a national park located just across the Quezon City Hall.
From afar, a tall structure (but actually a mausoleum) is already visible where the remains of the late president Manuel L. Quezon lies.
Had drove past the place many times but finally managed to visit the park a few months ago with my siblings and kids.
With everything that's going on in the world today, it's nice to occasionally be reminded that simple things do exist, like a gentle stroll in a park or just--- people watching!  
It was not our first time to visit this park actually.
Late night snacks and meetups were spent here a few years back.

In my head , I always imagine going to Central Park in New York City with my kids to let them see how breathtakingly magnificent the park is.
We are lacking of go-to areas like that here in the Philippines.
But the hope is strong for the future leaders of this country, that they would do something like that in time.

Jollibee and Breeze team up for the Maaga Ang Pasko Laba day :)



As Jollibee's Maaga Ang Pasko commemorates it's 20th year, our favorite fast-food chain wants to further strengthen its commitment to make Christmas even brighter for more kids , led by an army of hard-working blogger moms and showbiz personalities, namely Tintin Bersola-Babao, Regine Tolentino and Betina Carlos, who all volunteered to become a Jolly Toy Scout for a day!
Yes, i was fortunate enough to be part of the clean-up drive by Breeze and Jollibee that was recently held in Mandaluyong , targetting to wash and clean more than 500,000 plush toys donations with Breeze ActiveBleach.
It was an opportunity of a lifetime to contribute our time and effort to help the less fortunate, if not actual gifts.

Haute Hair for the Holidays


Christmas is a great time for merrymaking, but then it can also be a terrible season for stress.
Work may greatly increase as the holidays approach; add to that a heavy rotation of parties, intense decision-making on what gifts to buy and frantic scheduling for gatherings.

All these frenzied activities may take a toll on your appearance, especially your hair.
Your mane may tend to misbehave at this point, just when you’re about to attend one party after another.
But don’t stress yourself out, as the acclaimed Japanese hair-care brand, SYOSS, gives you the haute coiffure pampering these holidays.

Bonakid Pre-School’s Ready Set Laban Season 2 Grand Winner announced


When Yasmene Arim decided to take on the challenges in Bonakid Pre-School’s Ready Set Laban Season 2, her mother had very simple but no less relevant words of wisdom for her precocious seven year old daughter: “Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.”

The dance, swimming and taekwondo aficionado sent in their auditions online and actually became the show’s first guests to make it via online auditions.

“Sobrang excited ko (I was so excited),” young Yasmene enthused.
 “Pinapainom ko si Yasmene lagi ng gatas at pinapakain ng maraming gulay at fruits. 
We believe we are strong, we can fight and we can win this competition,” her mother adds.

And they did.

The show is designed to bring out the strength, energy and resilience of children and bring out the Batang May Laban in them by way of traditional Filipino games such as tumbang preso and patintero. The host of Ready Set Laban Season 2 shares how he can describe the show in three words: Ready To Play. “The kids I encountered are so ready to play and face the challenges in the show. It did not feel like I was working. I just had fun and I played a lot with them,” Drew Arellano shares.

For its second season, Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban came back with more exciting challenges and bigger prizes.
As for what young Yasmene asked for as a prize? She asked for school bags and supplies for her friends and classmates at school which Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban Season 2 happily provided.

Sharp’s SAMM brings an all-new high to the Filipino party


Give a Filipino a microphone and he will sing his heart out to his favorite tune.
Name any kind of celebration - birthday parties, reunions, get-togethers, weddings, graduations – and you can be sure that Filipinos, known for their singing prowess all over the world, will have their video machines ready.
The “karaoke culture” is truly embedded within our consciousness.
To amplify the party levels even higher, Sharp (Phils.) Corporation, one of the country’s leading brands in electronics and home appliances, introduces “SAMM” or Sharp Active Multimedia, the newest video karaoke machine that just might redefine the way we celebrate.

SAMM’s 32-inch LED display creates a more exciting viewing and singing pleasure.
Not even lolo and lola will have a hard time reading and singing the lyrics of the songs onscreen.
And with the clear WXGA (1366 x 768) pixel display, everybody can sing-a-long to their favorite tunes.
It also comes in a 19-inch display for those who want it more compact.

SAMM’s sleek and elegant design makes it a great addition to any home.
It has no irritating wires scattered around, no protruding speakers, amplifiers or other components, just like those bulky karaoke machines and other portable videoke machines that you see in most watering holes in the city.

SAMM has two microphone inputs so you can invite anyone who wants to jump in and sing a part of the song. Singing together with your family or friends is one of the most enjoyable
moments in a celebration. If, at any point, you get tired and would like to rest from all the crazy karaoke shenanigans, you can always turn on to SAMM’s TV tuner and watch your favorite TV programs.

Balikbayans from all over the world naturally feel homesick given the long time they’ve beenaway from their families. That’s why there’s nothing better than singing those good ol’ OPMsongs on SAMM to make a balikbayan feel truly at home. SAMM can play 1,200 licensed songs saved in the SAMM flash drive (Volume 1 comes with the purchase; Volume 2, with 1,000 songs, is available for upgrade). All you need to do is put on the flash drive, choose your favorite song and you’re all set.


Reunions can also become more exciting and enjoyable with SAMM’s USB multimedia function, which allows you to display photos and play videos saved on your flash drive. This allows everyone in the reunion to have a “trip down to memory lane” by having their old photos displayed the screen, playing the music of their era, or reliving some of the memorable events in  their lives caught on video.

SAMM’s awesome features wouldn’t be possible if not for the 32 years that Sharp has provided Filipinos with excellent products.
It has been the company’s trademark to uplift the quality of Filipino lives with simple engineering marvels, especially with their “Our Brand, Our Pride”philosophy.
Every Filipino home is assured to have only the best products as long as it’s from  Sharp.

Managing Pregnancy Anxieties


Pregnancy is a new journey for every woman and whether it is meticulously planned or comes unexpectedly, one thing is definite – a woman’s life will never be the same.
It is an experience that will reinvent your world for you.
 Like any other journey, you tend to guess what lies ahead.
The idea of uncertainty, added responsibility and pressure makes you start to reassess yourself and your competencies.
And whether or not you think you are ready for motherhood, you are forced into this new, but wonderful world.

A grand adventure begins

The good thing is, pregnancy is designed to naturally prepare you for motherhood.
While it is inevitable that you feel uncomfortable, anxious and scared about what comes next,
there are moments you will be filled with joy.

Being apprehensive about the responsibility for another human life is normal, b
ut know that this should not hinder you from enjoying the journey towards motherhood.

Someone once said “Motherhood is the only place where you can experience heaven and hell at the same time,” and so whenever you think of all the challenges of your pregnancy, know that it is worth it.

Redefining a spectrum of Fear

Fear originates from the sense of not being in control.
One perspective of fear is life threatening while another spectrum is one that holds you back from living the life that you deserve.
It is common to randomly worry about pregnancy and all the other aspects related to it but whenever you feel anxious towards those,
its better to try to take control of things you can manage and channel your energy towards something positive. Indulge yourself in self-reflection and positive self-talk.
Think of an empowering and convincing statement that will oppose your limiting belief.

The secret to coping with your worries is redefining fear.
You can simply look at fear as an opportunity for self-discovery, the gateway from simply wishing and wanting, to doing and being.

Redefining fear with a touch of optimism can be a form of reaffirmation within yourself.
ProMama assures you that, yes you can cope with your worries and you can and will become a good mother.

Be fit and fab by taking control

Take control of your pregnancy and do not let your pregnancy take over you.
You make a continuous effort to transform fear into power – power to decide on how you will act on your anxieties and live your life the way you’ve pictured it to be.
It is a chance for you to know and understand you and your baby more.

Since pregnancy is all about coping with your new role as mother,
this is a most opportune time to adjust your lifestyle in a way that you live the life you dream for yourself while ensuring to provide the life you dream for your child as well.
Nine months is enough time to form good habits and to prepare yourself for motherhood.

For starters, drink ProMama to help you feel more at ease because only ProMama contains Vitamins C, E and A.
It’s coupled with Mental Enhancers like DHA, a nutrient important for a child’s visual and mental development; Folic Acid, which is essential for the development of the nervous system and in preventing neural tube defects;
and Zinc, which assists in fetal neurodevelopment. ProMama’s formula also contain Bone and Muscle Builders such as Vitamin D to support an unborn baby’s bone development;
Protein, the building block of all tissues; and Calcium, which supports bone development.

With the help of ProMama, you can enjoy your pregnancy, discover the mother in you and marvel at the miracle of your baby.

Remember, when you have worries that haunt you, there is no one formula to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good one. By being true to yourself and taking control, you can be the good mom that you hope to be.

Place this in your mind, “Mama yes you can take control. Mama yes you can be fit and fab.”
You already know the secret to coping with your anxieties and so do not be afraid, rather, look forward to what comes next.

Movies for the month of December 2014 :)


For some movie goers, December is their much awaited month to sit back , relax and see their favorite local showbiz people on the big screen.
The official nine entries announced last June 21 will be part of this year's 40th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) that will be held from December 25, 2014 until the first week of January, 2015.
Honestly, I'm not one of them. 
I seldom watch pinoy movies but when I do, it's mostly the 90's romance films.
Anyway, here is the list of some international films you can still watch over the weekend with your family.
Enjoy!
