It’s game time as the Jr. NBA Philippines 2017 presented by Alaska returns to the Philippines. On its 10 th   year, the Jr. NBA is set to tip off on January 21, Saturday, at the Don Bosco Makati. Alaska’s partnership with NBA Philippines is in line with Alaska’s commitment to promoting sports and outdoor play in the Philippines. “The Jr. NBA Program is a great fit with Alaska’s mission to nurture young talents and to promote healthy and active lifestyle through sports and outdoor play,” says Wilfred Uytengsu, Alaska Milk Corporation President & CEO. Based on the 8th National Nutrition Survey in 2013 by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), obesity is one of the most prevalent nutritional problems of Filipino children with about 5 out of 100 Filipino children are overweight. Given the growing issues on health, Alaska believes that there is a need to reinforce its thrust in leading a healthy lifestyle not just by drinking milk but by living activel...

The horrifying moments during my pregnancy was being comfortable wearing stylish outfits at the same time. It was really hard during that time especially when I had my first born. There were limited stores that caters to the needs of pregnant women that prefers comfort and style at the same time as well as value for money. Believe it or not, I only have three staples during my three pregnancies: dress, leggings and shorts with baggy shirts. I couldn't even afford to go to events which requires me to style myself elegantly because of limited resources to maternity clothes. With my three pregnancies, I had only short for my pregnant tummy. I kid you not. SM MOA Branch So when I won a GC from our Christmas Thanksgiving party (which was stuck in the courier over the holidays), I immediately run to the nearest branch of Great Kids. First, I was just ecstatic to splurge a bit for myself, because retail therapy is life. Secondly, I want to check out what's in store. T...

It has been seven long years that I have been a chore slave momma. I have been serving a family of five and every single minute I spend doing chores is just as precious as what I have to spend with them. Time is gold.  I have a confession. If there is one thing that I hate doing is washing the dishes. I could stand all day washing clothes but bot dishes. Why? I grew up washing dishes over and over again because of the non stop grease that won't come off with our dishwashing soap. Imagine, I had to use a bar of detergent to wash dishes? Doesn't sound good right? But when I became a mom, I had to love what I hated. It comes with it. I had to love washing dishes especially that I love preparing meals and cooking for the family. But in this new generation, there are new products that will save your sanity, just like mine.  What made me love doing chores is the gears and products I use to be able to accomplish them.  I was sent Bubble Man Dishwashing liquid ...

So the youngest turned a year old already few months ago and thinking how time flies so fast, makes me rekindle the memories rearing my two children. I honestly do not know how I did it being nannyless for 5 years to date. But in those years, I know for a fact that I have learned my lessons really well. These children honed me into the best dragon mommy I am. Kidding aside, they have taught me so much in life I never knew I could. Imagine life with three little monsters in your house being alone for hours and all you do is redundant. Every. Single. Day. Trying to sort their stuff in my free time, I realized I have bought so much things that aren't actually needed. Yep, those binge shopping for baby stuff is just way beyond control probably because these baby stuff are way too cute to resist. But in those years, I have narrowed down their stuff that I think, I didn't actually need. Sterilizer.  I bought my eldest a sterilizer which costs roughly 8k and n...

Mosquitoes and I have a constant battle in our household. Don’t laugh when I say I have citronellas in every corner of the house just because I am overprotective. Definitely not. I do not like my children to experience the feeling when you caught yourself the Dengue virus because it was one of the worst feeling ever. I couldn’t imagine my children catching the virus because I was too scared as a child let alone now that I am a mom. These tiny creatures is just everywhere we go no matter how I keep our house free from stagnant water and clean. They just literally bite us and my children and leave marks in their extremities. One of the many petty things that can ruin a good mood is when mosquitoes invade your place. I mean it’s common but how do you get rid of mosquitoes easy and fast? Well I have used different mosquito killers but it’s always either too strong or too useless. I’m so tired of wasting my money on these insect repellents that do not actually work for me! But good...

Pollution is inevitable. It is one of the major cause of all diseases that arise from each one of us. It is also a major factor in in destroying our skin because it destroys the outer layer but also causes other respiratory diseases. What better way we can do to keep our skin healthy?
