When Do You Call Yourself a Super Mom?

1 / 21 / 112 / 23 / 14

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

For me, I become one whenever I’m doing multiple tasks at home. My weekends usually goes this way: I will bathe my three kids, let the two toddlers play outside while I put my youngest daughter to sleep. It will take few hours especially when she is in a bad mood, like when she is having another painful diaper rash. She wouldn’t want to be left on her bed and will just cling on me most of the time because her butt hurts. That’s why I make it a point to always have a diaper rash cream in our home. After bathing my youngest daughter, with or without diaper rash I will apply the cream on her. My husband would always say that I’m paranoid when I do that, but I will say, better to be safe than sorry.

My friend in Germany actually agreed on me as she also do this with her two sons. She uses Boudreaux’s Butt Paste as recommended by her children’s Pediatrician. Funny but she even told me that the doctor even discussed with her that Boudreaux’s Butt Paste contains 16% Zinc Oxide and Peruvian Balsam. Though these are alien words for her, she just said that as long as it goes on and cleans off easily and will treat diaper rash and other skin irritations then by all means she would buy lots of it. With that I jokingly told her that maybe she could send one Boudreaux’s Butt Paste to me. She agreed because according to her, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is giving away free samples as of the moment and she will be glad if I could try this on with my kids. (Maybe you could also check out their site and be one of the lucky sample recipients) I got excited with that idea especially when I remembered seeing this brand in one of the Oprah Show and in People Magazine.

That conversion was actually several months now and I got what she promised when her mom came back here after visiting her in Germany. Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is really different from the one I used before as it has a pleasant scent and my children would often say it smells like lotion or cologne. I bring it everywhere we go as it comes in a handy travel size with flip top caps. Danke schön again my friend for this gift!

Oh well, me and my big mouth I almost go way out of my intended topic. So there, after taking care of the kids, I will start doing my laundry while I check my emails and if no one will disturb me, I will sneak a quick post on my blog. Lunch with my mom’s place should follow, do the dishes then put the two toddlers to sleep while I play with Cien. Around four or five in the afternoon, when the kids wake up, I will clean up the house before hubby gets home. Sometimes, I cook dinner (just fried dishes) but mostly it will be another dinner with my mom’s place with my given budget of course. After dinner, I will fix the kids and prepare them for bed. When they all dozed off to sleep and so as hubby, I will be in front of my laptop again and stay up until 2 or 3am to do my online tasks. That’s when I consider myself as a Super Mom.. how about you? When do you become a Super?

Lunch With My Virtual Colleagues

12 / 23 / 102 / 23 / 14
Last Sunday, I got the chance to meet my virtual co-workers. It was a simple get together organized by our Filipino contact from China who was here to spend the Holiday with his family. We were asked to be at Sky Garden (SM North Edsa) for a lunch.
I arrived before 12nn and since it was my first time to be in that place (yep, shame on me!) I got a bit nervous if I’m on the right spot. There were plenty of people that time and I was a bit worried when I couldn’t see the group. I’ve sent text messages to the person concern but with no reply. He did reply though after few more texts and said that they were on their way. He mentioned the color of his shirt but I was puzzled when he said he’s wearing ube-keso (turned out he was wearing striped shirt of yellow and purple). He was with her sexy and beautiful wife when we finally met. He said the rest of the group were on their way too then I went with her wife to look for a place to dine.

While scanning all the food outlets we were also doing our small chit-chats. Then we arrived here:

Seoul Garden at SM North Edsa Annex
Upon checking on the menu, she texted her husband and told him to bring the rest of the group there. We asked for a table for 12 and we were led to the first table near the mall’s entrance. We were all first timer on this restaurant that’s why we were giggling on how the ordering process was.
 
We then all stood up and headed on to the buffet. You will just have to pick from their sturdy tableware (I was meaning to asked one of their food attendant if those were biodegradable plates but had second thought because people were religiously coming in).

 

 
While dining we were talking about work and some personal stuff about ourselves. Some of them knew each other for a long time through Skype but it was also the first time that they met each other in person. I think I was the newest member in their group.
 
It was a fun day indeed! Getting to know the people you have been working with on a virtual world:) We had some pictures but they were not e-mailed to me yet and even if I have them on hand, I don’t think they will like the idea of me posting their identities here so I guess I would just have to edit them first. I will update this post though, once I got the pictures.

Don’t We All Love Christmas?

12 / 21 / 102 / 23 / 14

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.

Just few more days and it’s Christmas! My two kids have been asking me from time to time on how many days left till their most awaited day comes. While they are both giddy and up when I do the count down with them, me and my hubby can feel the pressure right under our toes. Why? Because until now we still haven’t completed our holiday gifts list for our friends and relatives. Both our schedules are a little tight with Christmas parties and get together here and there. Actually, he leaves the task of filling our Christmas gift list on me since I am almost 24/7 online and shopping through the net has been my expertise (now that is an over statement).

So now, instead of doing my online gigs, I am currently browsing and window shopping online in quest for the perfect yet affordable Christmas gifts for our loved ones. I am actually been lurking for hours at Pier 1 because I could not help myself to check on each and every products they have in store for their customers. I almost drool over those cheap yet classy earrings, bangles and cuffs, rings and other trinkets that will surely make my female colleagues jump in excitement once they receive these holiday gifts from me. Their Idea Room is really worth browsing because of various gift selections both for men and women with prices ranges from   around $10-$30.

But of course, as a mom and wife, I would not miss their Home Accents and Decor Section. I super love their accent pieces, from antique looking clocks, frames, art and figurines and many more. If our budget is not that tight, I would love to have these seasonal tableware for my kids. They will definitely sit with us together with the rest of our relatives and some close friends on our dinner party this Christmas Eve once they see how cute and charming these tableware are.

How I wish I could just go on shopping the whole day at their site. Their minimalist furniture are very ideal in our small spaced apartment. I am always on the look out for products like these because they not just jive with my style but are PERFECT for our home too!

It’s Christmas right? So I guess it’s not bad at all if I secretly wish for one particular item that I saw at Pier 1. I am really not an outgoing person but when there are some formal occasions that I am required to attend to, I want to use something that is classy and fit for the occasion. So if someone out there willing to give me this as a gift, you can only find it at Pier 1.

The month of December is really something that we all been waiting for. But wait, at Toys for Tots both November and December feels like Christmas when you support them. How? By dropping off an unwrapped toy or making cash donations at the register. Sounds cool huh? You can spread the holiday cheer too just by simply liking Pier 1 Imports on Facebook because for every new fan they get, they will donate $1 to Toys for Tots.

The clock is ticking.. Christmas is coming. Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

Guess What Made My Day Today

4 / 28 / 102 / 23 / 14
Yup, yup! I was supposed to post my rant about an encounter with a not so accomodating reservation officer of a particular hotel in Boracay, but then, as I checked my Eon Account on line, the good news was there and it changed my mind. Maybe I’ll post it some other day.
From rant to rave, here is my post today:
I opened an EON Account to Unionbank weeks ago and it was just last week that I got it linked from my Paypal account. I asked a favor from my hubby to drop in any Unionbank and deposit at least 200.00  or $1.95 before I got it verified. And then, Sunday night, I linked it to my Paypal account (after a few questions from GT girls) and it was a success, I didn’t encountered any problem just like what I have read from some forum threads. So after that, I transfered my funds from my online source to Paypal then to my EON account.
It appeared on the screen that it may take 2-4 days before I see it on my EON Statement of Account. And I was just so happy that it only took 2 days because here’s what I saw upon checking:
I know, its not that much, but then I’m so happy to see that I earned this amount by simply doing what I love (writing) even though I seemed to be a bit trying hard haha! Anyway, big or small, this amount matters to me especially in this time of economic crisis. I’ll give a portion of this amount to my Mom who celebrated her birthday yesterday so she can treat her “barkada”. While most of it will be for my kids, this time I like to buy things for them for a change (hubby usually buys stuf for my kids). Good luck to me if I can manage to buy something for me lol! Maybe in my next gig. (keeping my fingers crossed).=)

How I wish I’ll get to earn from this blog too like my sissies on GT=)
