Every negative, hurtful, challenging situation has a silver lining. Therein is the awakening of the soul.

the home alone challenge

Last quarter of 2018, my two little ones were confined at the hospital for gastroenteritis.  We left our three teenage boys at home. Though my mother visited them from time to time and brought food, our sons managed to take care of themselves. They also took care of the house for about a week. I was the proudest mom at that time and even until now. That despite the challenging situation they were in, they managed to survive and discover their strength.

Would you believe that despite the convenience instant noodles bring, my boys preferred to cook pasta and eat spaghetti for dinner? They also cooked carbonara and tuna spaghetti. They even made their waffle dog and baked brownies and cupcakes.

The Admirable Value Super8 Gives to its Business Partners

More than from my family, I draw inspiration from the people I meet. This mother got the chance to be face to face again with Super8 CEO, Mr. Alvin Lim. Unlike our previous meeting, I now got the opportunity to know him better. More than admiring his business concept, I love how he puts value to his business partners- the sari-sari store owners, retailers, and moms like me.

His business partners all aim for value for money. Every centavo counts as each saved amount means additional resource for a new purchase or saving. Understanding and respecting this aim makes Mr. Alvin and his team conceptualize programs that would give more value to their clientele.

an appeal to the Filipino voting public

Leaders don't cry for what the country can do for them for free. They dream about what they can do for the country at a high cost. ― Israelmore Ayivor

I am a Filipino, and I am proud to be one. As I have five boys under my care, I always aim to promote the good old Filipino values of love of country and family, integrity, and discipline. This mother believes that as she champions such campaign, these Filipino values will remain alive in the hearts of her boys. And given that her boys are believers and doers of the old Filipino values, they are effective influencers, too, to promote such traditional values.

Captain Marvel and Today's Everyday Women Heroes

My 13-year-old son and I recently attended the block screening of Captain Marvel. This mother enjoyed the movie as much as she appreciated the company of her young man.

Captain Marvel

Since my boy is a Marvel fan, he knows most of the Marvel Comics characters. He was there to guide his mom about Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury and the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. I commend his patience as he briefs his mom about other Marvel and Avengers trivia stories. And as we leave the cinema, he thanked me for tagging him along. He was grateful that I asked him to join me. 

As we drive back home, I asked him his thoughts about the movie. How can he relate it in real life? His answer was too compelling and concise.

Self-love makes me live life differently

I know my boss loves me as much as I love her. She funded the seminars I attended which are all essential for my growth as a public relations personnel. She pushed me to the extremes; believing I could deliver more than what I thought I could give. This made me exceedingly committed to my career, putting work first above anything else. A number of times, I missed my boys’ school activities, which naturally left me feeling guilty. However, work is a necessity. I was groomed to lead a department. Thus I need to show my loyalty.

What to Look For When Buying a Car Battery

· 3 Comments

A car’s battery is responsible for a whole host of jobs. From starting the vehicle when the key is turned in the ignition to providing the electricity to start the heating elements, the battery is what ignites the fuel and gets the engine running.  It also provides power for the car’s lighting which includes indicators and the rear and main headlights! All in all, it’s clear to see just how important a reliable and efficient battery is for a safe driving experience.

Many drivers may be tempted to go for a well-known brand of battery, assuming that it will be the best, but this is not necessarily the case. Instead, you should compare the following two criteria to determine which battery will best suit how you use your car.

Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine food review

· 7 Comments

One of the things we truly enjoy as a family is dining in.  Of all the cuisines, Chinese cooking is what we enjoy the most.  Aside from its generous serving,   Chinese food stands out because of its aroma, taste, and appearance.  I once read that China has the most popular culinary heritage in the world. That perhaps explains its food’s interesting flavor, aroma, and texture.

Everything one sees in a Chinese menu is easily understood even by a child.  A typical meal has either carbohydrates like rice, noodles or buns, and stir-fries, veggies or fish and meat.  And I love that a Chinese meal has lots of fresh vegetables to offer.   From tofu to mushroom, water chestnuts, and peas, a youngster could easily be trained to love and appreciate vegetables.  I love the rich umami taste as well as the seasoning and sauces used to cook Chinese dishes.  The seasoning is what truly makes the food taste extra flavorful and look vibrant.

This explains my eagerness to bring my boys at Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine in Hemady Square in Quezon City after I got an invite over a sumptuous lunch.

A strong relationship requires choosing to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other.
Click To Tweet

About three weeks, I turned my back to my husband. He was somehow obliging some things I could not easily deliver given the two toddlers I always look after. Not to mention, I have three school boys to take care of and a house to manage. So instead of answering back, I went out and bought pandesal. It was an opportunity for me to walk, catch some fresh air, and brush off any negative thoughts.

Husband was quite in the mood to pick a fight. He messaged me, accusing me that I was running away from any confrontation. I messaged back that “I am not running. There is no reason to argue with you. I don’t want us to fight; thus I left.”

After a few hours, I got a message from him again.
