PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST
December 19 must have been my lucky day. Aside from learning the value of intentional parenting and homeschooling, I got to bring home a basket full of Cetaphil products for my baby. My name was called in a raffle!

These products may last for about four months or more. And my baby also has a new fluffy elephant towel. Couldn’t be happier.
Advantages of play gym
Our Yael loves to kick and straighten his legs when on his back. At this age, he could very well appreciate his play gym. It is always a joy to see him kick his new mat gym in order for it to light up and make sounds.
Just like any mom, I am guilty of overspending for my boys. We tend to hoard cute onesies and rompers which our babies could wear for only a few months. We have the tendency to overstuff our children with toys they would only play for a few months or weeks.
“Running is a sports,” Big Bunso said. So we joined their school’s family fun run. After all, I told them to get themselves involved in sports.
I also find that the family that runs together, stays fit together. It was our first fun run as a family. It was both enjoying and rewarding. We even brought home some raffle prizes!
Call time for the fun run was 5am. Had a quick warm up exercise prior the run.
Friday the 13th was just perfect with nary a heavy cloud in the sky. All 15 of us were eager to set foot on the mot visited tourist spot in the Philippines, Boracay.
From Terminal Three of The Ninoy Aquino International Airport, we boarded the Manila to Kalibo Airphil Express flight. It took us 45 minutes to reach Kalibo and from there, Alta Vista de Boracay staff brought us to Caticlan jetty port where boats were stationed to carry us to the island.
I met Francisco H. Licuanan III, founding President of Ayala Land Inc. He looks humble and fun-loving. But when he started to talk, one would think back. He is the very man who made the Ayala Land brand so big. He is no ordinary executive.

“Too much growth affects the quality of the product,” says Mr. Licuanan. Thus, with his new formed real estate development and marketing organization, he defines the company as small and will remain to be small.
My first impression is he might had an exhausting 40-year career at Ayala that he got too tired of running a real estate company. Of course, I am wrong.
He details to us the advantages of a small company. And before he could end his talk, I salute his very unique business philosophy.
When you feel great, your mind is clear and everything follows
– Joy Geronca
I want something – to do what I really love to do (so my life would be great) – and its seems the universe conspire to make it happen. The very same line Paulo Coelho said in his 1988 now world-famous “The Alchemist.”
After that inspiring meeting with Toby Claudio, this mother met another equally beautiful soul. She exudes inner peace and grace. Her eyes smile and it looks like her skin and everything in her glow. She is Joy Geronca of Bikram Yoga Eastwood.

Obviously, Valentine’s Day devotees would spend an hour or more petting and rekindling old promises over candle lit dinner. and so, for the second time that I brought husband at A Venetto Pizzeria, the now famed “wait to be seated” sign still greeted us.
We circled around Glorietta. Almost all diners were filled with lovers. The only decent choice left was Cabalen. With its buffet set-up, certainly families and not sweethearts occupy the place.
Filipino. Thailand. Forgot the other one. The only choice left was to devour every appetizing dish. Experiment on the sauces, and taste each weird sounding and looking cuisine. Adobong balut, included.
I was defeated, on the contrary, by my fear over uncooked foodstuff. Maki etal still all appeared so plain and uninteresting to me. and I did not bother jam my plate with those kind.
The most enjoying part was the dessert. The marshmallow with chocolate dip was the bestseller of all. Advantageously seated just very close to the buffet table, I hurriedly loaded my saucer with three colorful marshmallows as soon as I noticed the food attendant done with refilling the bowl.
We ended up feeling real sleepy. and I, disheartened that I have no teddy bear to bring home for Aguel. We should have ordered mango juice to claim that cute bear promo.
