Nurse's Diary Went to Blogapalooza 2014

Image
It was on October 11, 2014 that finally the biggest blogging event of the year was finally pushed through. Numerous brands came together to connect with hundreds of bloggers. Last year was a remarkable one as a first timer but this year was more exciting as more mommy bloggers from our community also attended the event. Initially, I intended to go first hour of the day but my schedule went crazy and had to do makeshift. So I went late afternoon with the little boy who was also giddy trying out the games on each booth. I must say brands are quite overwhelming this year, as the room occupied was doubled. While there was more than enough room to move around, the number of brands present also increased. I noticed that there were missing brands from last year but there are alot more that I discovered from this year's event. Some of them were . The favorite part of the event this year was when we were able to decorate our own donuts courtesy of one of our favorite donut brand, Krispy Kre...

I remember our childhood days when we get to eat pasta only during holidays and when there is a celebration. Cooking pasta or spaghetti before was such a big deal, which requires a lot of preparation. I am glad to know that today, I can have it whenever the kids crave for it and it’s easy! We can also incorporate dishes whenever you like anytime of the day. In lieu of the National Pasta Month, I am sharing with you one of the easiest was to cook pasta with a touch of Filipino dish.

The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf's Gift Giving Journal 2015

It’s the holiday season again and believe it or not, time has passed by so quickly that I couldn’t manage to keep up anymore. When “ber” months have started, you will start to hear holiday songs everywhere and people will start decorating their places with holiday trinkets. My wire bookmark: star, heart and peace sign But what it is really with Christmas season that makes it worthy? Is it purely by shiny trinkets hanging on the Christmas tree? Or by the endless list of wishlist that needs to be procured before the season? Or by making someone cheer up by sharing a part of us? Either way, we have our way of making it worthwhile. With so many gifts giving during Christmas season here and there, we can opt to do it in our own little way.  Coffee and I have a good relationship ever since I can remember. My day will not be complete without it. When I learned about gift giving journal of Coffee Bean Tea Leaf, I knew I had to attend it. I never knew that my love for coffee can actually re...

[PRESS RELEASE] Filipinos have relentlessly proven that the concept of bayanihan is still alive today. Every year the Philippines is devastated by numerous typhoons which result to ruined homes and ravaged livelihood. From one calamity to another, Filipinos have made it a tradition to donate and help rehabilitate the li ves of the victims. Sharing with this tradition, Electrolux, a global leader in home appliances, has been collecting and laundering clothes for calamity-stricken survivors for several years now.

To make sure that every piece of clothing is in good condition, we will sort out the worn out, unwearable ones, then upcycle them ...
