MOMI SHARES| Absolute Love. Absolute Water.

· Leave a Comment

It is inevitable.  My children will always be my life.  And no matter how others would say my boys will have a family of their own, I will be here for them.  And forever I will be grateful that once, I’ve been privileged to be their mother.

Perhaps my role as a mother to them is most likely be compared to how water gives life to us.  My heart will never be empty, for my love will forever be there for them.  Same goes the water to us, being our first and foremost medicine.  Water is the essence of life.

Creativity as our passion

As a mother, I need to be creative.  I must say creativity has always been a part of my life.  From introducing ways for my boys to appreciate new food and hobbies to almost anything, creativity is my life line.  Often, it is only through how we present things to our kids that they accept them as part of their system.  In food preparation, for instance, I started to bento a year ago to encourage my then grade 5 in eating vegetables.

MOMI RECOMMENDS| Fucidin for wound infection

· 11 Comments

Infection can develop in any kind of wound. Infection occurs when bacteria enters the wound through an opening in one’s skin.  Though there are a number of precautions to prevent wound infection from developing, still when bacteria spreads, it may lead to a more serious disease.

This happened to my Firstborn when he was just about seven years old.  He would easily get hurt, be exposed to different types of wounds, and get an infection after.  I learned that it is not only prudent to wash the wound well with antibacterial soap and water.  Cleaning is simply not enough.  It is essential to apply a topical antibiotic at the first sign of wound infection.

MOMI SHARES| The gift of health and care

· Leave a Comment

Last Sunday, my family went out for lunch.  We haven’t been to U.P. Town Center so we opted to visit the place and have our lunch there.  The place was jam-packed and most diners were full.  We waited for an hour to be seated and almost 30 minutes for our food to be served.  That perhaps has always been the course of events come Mother’s Day.

Our moms are the most selfless, compassionate, and resilient individuals.  Thus, perhaps on Mother’s Day, we really do our best to make them feel special.  Nevermind the long line and wait or jam-packed malls.  But more than celebrating Mother’s Day outside, another way to do that is by giving them a gift that endures – the gift of a happier life.   We have here a few simple tips to make that happen not only on Mother’s Day but anytime of the year.

MOMI SHARES | How to use credit card to your advantage?

· Leave a Comment

I was scammed.

That was how husband and mother described my booking transaction with Expedia. I booked last December 29 for a family room in one hotel in Subic. I filled out the necessary online form and gave my credit card details. There was an assurance that the amount will not be deducted until I confirm my booking. Confirming my booking meant receiving an email acknowledging my inquiry. Then I will be directed to the site, choose the itinerary, and from there I will tick and confirm booking.

How to use credit card to your advantage?

A few minutes after my inquiry, I received and email detailing my booking was confirmed. The email also informed me that I could not cancel my booking anymore.  This caused so much stress on my part. My husband and mother, who are both not used to transacting online, blamed me.  Both told me I was too trusting.

I kept my silence.  This mother did not want to argue with them.

MOMI LEARNS| Everything has two sides

Everything has two sides.

I must say I am thankful that I decided to join the fanatics and gamers as they welcome back the coming of Ragnarok Online.  I learned something I never imagined I would gain in such an event.

Everything has two sides

The very amiable Kamphee Phiromwad, Managing Director of Electronics Extreme, started the press conference with a video about a gamer and the people around him.  The gamer’s loved ones cannot understand his love for gaming, while his friends and guild support him all the way.  The short yet touching video showed that everything contains a good and a bad depending on how one views it. After watching the flick, I now had a better view of how gamers think, feel, and speak.  Indeed, everything has two sides.  And I am just glad I was able to understand the other side.

MOMI SHARES| Zap head lice with Blitz Nitz

· 5 Comments

This post has long been overdue.  I should have posted this last April, very timely for the summer season.  Though we could still feel the scorching heat, it can’t be denied that occasional rainfall occurs now.  This signals the rainy season is fast approaching.  Anyway, I still would like to share with you one happy post.

More than a month ago, Momi Berlin received a complete line of the Euky Bear Blitz Nitz products.  The brand is clinically proven to kill head lice.  Each has natural essential oils and does not contain chemical pesticides or insecticides that may be harmful to children or users.  This Australian made and owned product is suitable for children two years and up and is available in the country in select specialty stores within the Metro.

Sharing Blitz Nitz through social media

Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy.

Richard Stallman

Momi Berlin shared a few facts about head lice and how they are treated.  She wrote this via PSST.Ph, an online magazine where she regularly contributes as a writer.  After a few days, she received an email from a concerned mother asking more about the topic.  It turned out that her seven-year-old daughter is suffering from head lice.  With no one to give the set she got from Koofty Enterprise, this mom decided to share the shampoo, lotion, and spray to her new friend.  And it was only last week that the mother and daughter shared their Blitz Nitz experience.  Now, I am sharing their story with you.
