PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST
The moment you see two lines in your pregnancy test, you probably jump for joy and feel a rush of happiness at the promise of your forthcoming parenthood. A lot of ideas and thoughts come into your mind. Among others are what gender your baby will have, the names you’d like to give them, the pain you’ll go through, and the changes your body will experience. And, most definitely when do you go shopping for baby items?
It was my best friend’s birthday three months ago. I asked her what she would love to receive from me. She only asked for a vacuum flask. She loves coffee, and she is the type of person who drinks coffee while driving, drafting a case resolution, and doing just anything. So for her to enjoy her hot coffee every day, I only gifted her the brand that best describes modern everyday solutions – Omega.
It was April 4, 2002. I got a call from my boyfriend. He told me to dress my best, and we will go somewhere.
I obliged and waited for him. He arrived at our house a little late than his promise. My mom just left so I wasn’t able to tell her I will be off somewhere with my boyfriend.
We traveled to Marikina City Hall. He explained to me on our way to the city hall that we are scheduled for an 11 am civil wedding. But when we arrived at the court, the judge who will officiate our union was already out for lunch. The assistant told us to be back by 1 pm. She also reminded us to ready our wedding ring.
Whenever we go to the shopping center nearest our place to do our grocery, my little toddler would always stop by in front of the ZooMoov booth. He would ask for a ticket in exchange for a token. For a few minutes, he gets to hop onto a motorized animal ride and circle around the shopping center.
More than the fun children experience as they play with ride-on toys, they get to enjoy freedom, growth, and learning. Allow me to share with you the improvements I see in my child as he ride those motorized toys from ZooMoov.
My second son turned 15 about two months ago. He has longed to be an adult. It is very evident that he can’t wait, and his actions and words are always in a hurry to be referred to as a young adult.
Online shopping is easy and fun, and that’s why its popularity is growing among Filipino shoppers – and so is the use of debit cards when purchasing from online merchants. The convenience of getting what you want and need at a click, having it delivered right to your doorstep, and not worrying about having cash on hand makes Debit Mastercard and online shopping a great combination that helps us multitask in this age of hectic schedules and limited time.
My little one-year-old boy smiled at me. His smile washed all worries and fears. And for a while, I just felt peace. Indeed, a baby’s smile makes me see the beauty of the world. My son is God’s perfect reminder that I am more than blessed.
Going on a family vacation can be an experience that is both exciting and stressful all at the same time. You see relaxed, stress-free families all over the pages of the glossy travel brochures. However, anybody who’s traveled with their family, particularly with young children, will know that this isn’t always the case.
Even if I spend half of my life looking for my eyeglasses, I still prefer them than contact lenses. For one, there’s no need for me to worry about removing my contacts before hitting the sack or washing my face.
Have to admit, though, that when I was younger, I prefer contacts than specs. I always find myself looking older than my age when wearing eyeglasses. I also do not like it when my glasses fog up. They aren’t the best choice, too, for sports activities.
But as I age and more family responsibilities add up, I find eyeglasses convenient to use. I will just put them on and go.
For about 10 years, I worked in Ortigas. But I was the type of employee who would go home after serving my employer for at least eight hours. We’ve got three boys already, and we did not have a house help so I would always rush home. Perhaps that explains the fact that I am not familiar with any restaurant or store within the nearby Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
Last Wednesday, we were invited to a GourmetFest at Shang’s Grand Atrium. I must admit I am not familiar with all the restaurants, but it didn’t stop me not to sample each dish presented to us. I had a gastronomic trip around the world as Shangri-La rolled out a delicious spread of some of its most exquisite dishes. 22 restaurants served up an assortment of dishes from varied cuisines – from European to American to Asian.
