Long to Short
Before the fieldtrip, I brought my daughter Acey in the parlor for a haircut. Few days before that, I noticed split ends on Acey's long & layered hair so I thought it's about time for a new hairdo. In addition to that, she will be a flower girl in her favorite uncle's wedding this coming May so the length of her hair will be perfectly long by that time. Here is the before and after...

FieldTrip
When CJ & Acey showed me the paper from their school to notify parents about the fieldtrip, I told them we will just join next year but my daughter Acey begged because she haven't been to Enchanted Kingdom. On the second thought, I realized kids deserve a break from the third periodical exam, so I gave in. My sister in law and her kids joined too which made the fieldtrip more exciting.
There were 13 buses, approximately 650 students, teachers & parents joined the filedtrip last January 30, 2010. Assembly started as early as 4am. We were at bus # 3 and each bus has a tour guide, ours was Kuya Owel, funny and gay...lol.
First stop was the Sumo Sumo production area. Kids were ask to sit down, hands up and wave, afterwards, they showed in the monitor the finish product. Kids were flying like superheroes. The next room was the dubbing area. A teacher and a parent were ask to read the scripts or dialogue with feelings of an anime film.
We proceeded to watch the Davao Crocodile Show. It's not only crocodiles that we got to see. CJ & Acey were able to touch an albino and shake hands with a monkey. I didn't get to see other animals because I went to a shaded area. I'm not fond of zoo and animals. I just go there during fieldtrips and for the kids.
We rode the Pasig River ferry cruise. Kudos to the people working to make the Pasig River clean ang pleasing to the eyes. Students, parents and teachers were educated about history of the said river. We passed by the different bridges and saw the back of Malacanang Palace while on cruise. Let's participate in the "Piso para sa Pasig" project by giving a peso or more.
Before going to Enchanted Kingdom, we were given an hour to take our lunch in Mall of Asia. My sister and I would like to try the dishes from any resto in MOA but the kids insisted that we just eat in KFC. I wanted to try yogurt ice cream and crepes too but my tummy is saying otherwise.
The highlight of the fieldtrip was going to Enchanted Kingdom that was unbelievably jampacked. You have to fall in line for more than an hour to be able to enjoy a ride. We decided to just watch a 30 minute magic show. We paid 50 pesos for the Simon & Silver magic show. Oh boy, it was mesmerizing and entertaining and I must say it's the cheapest yet amazing magic show I've ever seen in my entire life.
We all enjoyed the fieltrip immensely. We got home at 11pm.

Belated Christmas present
I bought myself a Tommy Hilfiger bag and wallet. A friend of my officemate arrived 3 weeks ago from her US tour and brought home 4 to 5 boxes of US stuff to sell and I took the Tommyhilfiger bag & wallet. I have to say thank you and goodbye to the Ralph Lauren bag I've been using for a year now. The Tommyhilfiger bag and wallet serve as my christmas gift for myself. Better late than never, right?

Look & Stay Young in 2010
I have always wanted to blog 'coz I feel there's a lot of things happened I want to impart like how we celebrated the recent Yuletide seasons, the Christmas gift I bought for my kids and for myself, family reunions we had and etc.I guess it's never too late to write them here so now I'm starting to blog again and this is my very first post for 2010 and I want it to be something delightful.
Me and two of my officemates participated in the QTV 11 "Love to Watch, Love to Bid" promo giving away big time prizes such as trip for 4 to hongkong, laptop, gym equipment, spa treatment for 12 months and a lot more. This was in the last quarter of 2009. We made a joint effort logging in to WMN website to earn points, unfortunately, we did not win any of the prizes. We accumulated more than a million points at the end of the contest period and we were surprised to know that other participants earned as much as 10 million points...unbelievable yet amazing.
After this particular contest, WMN promised to come up with a lot of promo to give chances to unlucky "Love to Watch, Love to Bid" participants and so they did. One of them was for mommies to send their pictures with their kids and write about their tips for looking and staying young, this is specifically a contest of the show "Full time Moms" hosted by Christine Jacob Sandejas and Suzi Antrata. Winner will receive one year's worth of Tri-Aktiline. Yours truly participated and the tips I shared was chosen by Full Time Moms staff & judges. I received my prize few days before Christmas 2009.
Below are tips I shared for looking and staying young:
1. Spend time alone. Go to the mall and visit boutiques or stores and check on the new dress or bag and buy it for yourself as a reward for fulfilling your duty/ies as a full time mom consistently. You can not possibly do this if you tag along your kids whenever you go to the mall. This can be done while kids are at school.
2. Pamper Yourself. Regularly go to a spa for a relaxing body or foot massage. You may also visit your favorite salon for a hair treatment. It is not a sin to spend money earned by your hubby for some pampering.
3. Invest in beauty products. Your skin is never the same when you are young and now that you are in your 30’s. Good thing there are many available beauty products such as moisturizing creams, toner or clarifying lotion in the market. Some maybe expensive and some are affordable. It is a matter of choosing the product that will work well with your skin.
4. Mingle with friends. Go out or dine out with friends. Never stop seeing friends just because you have kids to take care of, never use that as an excuse. Everything is possible with time management. In fact, you should look forward to attending class reunion or bond with good old friends.
5. Never stop learning. Surf the net to learn new recipes and be updated with current events. Watch make up tutorials online that you can apply when you attend weddings or your kids’ graduation. There’s so much to learn right at your fingertips.
6. Pray and meditate. Have a peaceful and quiet time with Him because only God will understand what’s going on your mind. He knows if you need help or if you just want to thank Him for your inner happiness.
Tri Aktiline anti wrinkle cream is worth 2600 pesos per tube. I saw this cream displayed in the beauty section of SM Clark and in StyleBible.ph website. They sent me 4 tubes of Tri Aktiline anti wrinkle cream and I gave one for my mom and another one for my sister -in-law. I started using the product this month and so far so good.
It's been a while since I last visited WMN.ph website and when I did I was delighted to see my name in their website, congratulating me for winning in the Full Time Moms promo, so I saved a screenshot and here it is:
To my fellow moms, I suggest you visit WMN.ph website and try participating in their promos. Most importantly, let us all stay young & beautiful.

Birthday Bash!
Our sexy and pretty friend, Toots, treated us with a sumptuous dinner at Xtremely Expresso last November 26 as she celebrated her birthday last November 28. We had the resto's ever famous pizza, Big Ben, the fall-off-the-bones and very delicious Baby Back ribs, Seafoods Nut-Pesto, Ceasar Salad, and Turkey sandwich. Binge-eating is the right term since we ate like there was no tomorrow. Everybody had a great time. After relishing a sumptous dinner at Extremely Expresso we ordered coffee in Starbucks right across the said resto.

Family Bonding at Marquee Mall
As promised, I brought my kids to Marquee Mall last Sunday afternoon (Nov. 29). First, we went to the toy section of Metro Department Store, then to Toys R Us so my kids will give me an idea what xmas gift they want, but Acey got confused at first, she can't decide which Christmas toy gift she really prefers so I helped her decide and stick with Disney Princesses dolls and it should be the three of them...Snowhite, Cinderella & Sleeping Beauty. While CJ is choosing between Ben10 action figures preferably Big Chill and Dinosaurs collectible items and it's name should start with letter A (that's how specific my son is). So now I know what, which and where to buy those gifts. I treated them to McDonals afterwards, coke float is their forever favorite. We dropped by at the supermarket while waiting for the chicken McDo & coke float to digest and the most fun part for my kids is letting them play in the play area. Seeing them having a blast is truly my heart's happiness!
