MOMI INVITES| Ready To Homeschool on April 14

MOMI INVITES| Ready To Homeschool on April 14

My mother sent me to an exclusive school because she always believes that education is the best gift you could give a child. And my mom definitely would want the best gift for her only daughter. I must say, the educational institution where I graduated middle school has truly prepared me for college. It likewise molded my deep faith in Jesus.

My husband also came from an exclusive school. He would always tell our children how his mother worked hard to send him to school. He would want our boys to study where he spent his almost 10 years discovering about Science, Math, and English. Only that the place is just too far from where we are staying. Thus, the next big thing is to look for an equally reliable school for our boys.

MOMI SMILES| Pineapples on our pizza

April 3, 2018 · 4 Comments

MOMI SMILES| Pineapples on our pizza

MOMI SMILES| Pineapples on our pizza

Our family loves pineapples on our pizza. 

The pineapple on a pizza is arguably one of the age-old most controversial food-related debates.  While it may taste, look, and sound incredibly delicious for pineapple pizza lovers, some pizza purists are still firm not to accept pineapple as a pizza topping.  The argument started when Sam Panopoulous created the Hawaiian pizza flavor in 1962 for the Satellite Restaurant in Toronto, Canada.

As the debate continues worldwide, Santino’s Supreme Slice creates a platform for a friendly yet interesting debate for all pizza lovers.  Dubbed Battle of the Supreme: Team Pineapple vs. Team Anti-Pineapple, the campaign is made up of a series of dare battle videos between the two teams.  Each video is uploaded on the official Facebook page of the Santino’s Supreme Slice and the group’s representative must fulfill the dare to score a point.  The winning team is the one who will get the highest total points.

Battle of the Supreme: Team Pineapple vs. Team Anti-Pineapple

It was Team Anti Pineapple who won the first dare that started last February.   Despite that though, my boys are still rooting for the Team Pineapple.  We are kinda hoping that as the battle continues on April 9, our favorite team will win.  The boys proposed that as we all gather to watch the continuation of the video, we should have a few boxes of the Santino’s Supreme Slice Hawaiian Madness.  Who am I to disagree?  I also love pineapples on our pizza.

So what am I driving at?

Santino’s Battle of the Supreme campaign is fun and catchy.  You may opt to watch the video to take a break from your usual busy self and at the same time give support to your favorite team.  For this mother, though, the campaign is heaven sent.  Even for free minutes, I was able to gather my boys in one place and share a few laughs with them.  Perhaps it is one struggle of a mom with teenagers.  Her boys have interest very different from hers that they tend to detach from her.  But when I invited them to watch the dare battle video with me, we found us laughing and cheering the whole time.  That day, too. I felt there is no better way to enjoy the day than doing what you love best just like having your favorite toppings on your pizza.

Then I remember. I used to get a slice of the Supreme Slice Hawaiian Madness before heading to my OB-Gyn for check up last year.  The cheese, ham, and pineapple combo for me is just pure love.  I never mind the watchful eyes of bypassers and other patients.  I just enjoy every bite of my pizza and savor the sweetness of the pineapple.

How about you, which slice are you on?

You may want to visit Santino’s Supreme Slice FB page to keep you updated and watch the two teams compete against each other.  Santino’s Supreme Slice, by the way, is Philippine’s fastest growing pizza chain with over 200 outlets nationwide.  Aside from the Hawaiian Madness, they also have lots of flavors to choose from  – all mouthwatering – but the best still is the one with the pineapples.

MOMI SHARES| Pillars of quality education

MOMI SHARES| Pillars of quality education

MOMI SHARES| Pillars of quality education

I remember when we were hunting for an elementary school for the boys.  We considered the quality of education, the environment, and the tools they have for teaching and learning.  Our parents invested a lot in our education, thus, we are giving the same privilege to our children.  As parents, we believe that a brighter future starts with an education.  Success though would be incomplete if the students aren’t given the right and appropriate tool and support to progress in school and in life.  Thus,  we always opt for a school that delivers, and it would be a blessing if the tuition, too, is more affordable.

Imagine then my happiness when I learned of a college that delivers the quality of education I believe each student deserves.  That after 75 years of supporting Filipinos’ education and lifelong learning, National Book Store is taking the next step by creating an institution for higher learning.  More than the quality of education it seems to give, the place as well is so strategic that it sits at the heart of Quezon City just along Quezon Avenue corner Scout Borromeo and Panay Avenue.

Functional Benefits of a Rhinoplasty

Functional Benefits of a Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a common plastic surgery in the United States.  In the Philippines, many have already tried it as well.   Not only does it help correct health issues, it also improves the aesthetic looks of a patient. No wonder its popularity in the USA and elsewhere cannot be disregarded.  Let us look at some of the benefits that the hundreds of thousands of patients go for when they undergo rhinoplasty.

MOMI TIPS| How to stay fresh this summer + giveaway

MOMI TIPS| How to stay fresh this summer + giveaway

Husband and the boys went to Pangasinan last weekend.  The children climbed trees, rode bikes, and caught fish.  Husband relayed that they ate under the tree and only went inside their small kubo to wash and sleep.  The next day before they left for Manila, they again stayed most of the day outdoors.  No wonder they smelled amoy-araw.   Yes, even my 2 1/2 years old boy smelled amoy-araw already when left for too long under the sun.

Now that summer has officially kicked in, surely this familiar scent wafting through the air when the boys come in for an afternoon of play is set to fill the house.  I guess our toddler could avoid such foul smell with some of these tips:

MOMI SHARES| Recover quickly after a facelift

MOMI SHARES| Recover quickly after a facelift

MOMI SHARES| Recover quickly after a facelift

It is a fact.  Many are now resorting to facelift to make them look fresh and their skin firmer and tighter.  Those who just had a facelift get a younger looking appearance that surely improves their confidence and self-esteem.  Plus, the effect of a facelift may last for up to 10 years, thus something others consider quite practical than other face enhancement services. 

If you are contemplating on getting a facelift, it is important to know as well what to or what not to do after the procedure.  Your surgeon will discuss with you the stages it will take for you to reach full recovery ahead of the procedure. Knowing what to expect is a way of helping you deal with your expectations and drain unnecessary worries. When you know what to expect, you get into a better position of healing without any complications.

I am writing this post after one mommy friend consulted she is pondering in having a facelift.  I told her I’ve got no experience but I could help her by interviewing doctors who conduct such procedure.  Let me share some insights I’ve got.

MOMI REALIZES| Love yourself more

MOMI REALIZES| Love yourself more

MOMI REALIZES| Love yourself more

I looked at myself in the mirror.  I wasn’t pleased with what I saw.  The reflection I recognized looked old and tired.  Perhaps more than a good night’s sleep, I need a skincare product that would address some of my skin-aging problems.

Yes, I’ve aged a lot.  Though age brings wisdom and grace, along with it comes different skin-aging problems, too.  And that is what I am most concern now.

MOMI REVIEWS| Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo

MOMI REVIEWS| Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo

There is no one product that is perfect for every skin type, that I learned from trying many baby wash and shampoo for years.  Though we have found what seems to be fitting for our fifth, I still try new products.  More than the curiosity, it is knowing all options available.

From our recent pedia visit, our doctor told us that SumoSam has skin asthma.  She mentioned that moisturizing his skin regularly is the most suitable treatment for his skin asthma.  And he needs a hypoallergenic soap, preferably with the most natural and organic ingredient.   Organic moisturizers and body wash contain no harmful chemicals and fragrances that may cause irritation and itching of the skin.

Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo seems to be the perfect brand we are looking for.
