Need a Break !!!

 This past few days the weather is really unbearable...even at night, it is so hard to get a good sleep. Good thing that there are some cool places to go to even at night....

 Since I became a mom, I stop thinking of going out at night and go to some bars with friends and stay out until the wee hour, well, I'd say that I used to be liked that but yeah, not anymore....

And so, when my sisters asked me to come along with them to have a dinner and to unwind, I have to admit that I missed that, I excitedly jumped out and gladly said YES to their invitation. But ofcourse, I know you were thinking of whose going to take care of my two rascals...the answer is, I tagged them along with me. A 3 year old boy and a 8 months old baby girl...I was thinking that, I won't enjoy the night and my dinner without my rascals. Anyway, the invitations is not to hang out but rather to have a dinner. Right?!.

 We went to Antipolo where there are some good resto that has an over looking view of the metro...Since I didn't know and not familiar with the place, my sister told that us that this bar and resto that we are going to is good rather than the other one.

  I could say no doubt that the place is good...nice ambiance...very relaxing and cold...not forget to mention that it rained during our stay in that bar, but that was after we had dinner then...

We ordered sinigang na hipon, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and pansit bihon. Simple dishes but it is good and same with the price :-)

It is much happy to know that even if we have our own kiddos and our own family, we as a mother, we shoud also have time for ourselves. Go on go out with your friends, recharge yourself...Because you need a break!

"To God Be the Glory"

Summer 2015 at CME (Club Manila East)

Summer is not yet over....that is why my family and I decided to have fun somewhere near our place and we all agreed to go to CME (Club Manila East)...And it's just 30 mins drive from our place (Binangonan).
We arrived at 10 in the morning, so basically there were few people buying their tickets at the counter area.
Entrance fee is 375 per person and for kids 3 feet below is free of charge. They have 160 Cabanas, 68 Beach view cabins and 10 huts. Since all cabanas are taken and some are reserved the only choices we had was the beach view cabin and the hut. We choose the beach view cabin which cost 700 but cabanas is 1,500.

The place and the pools are very big and not forget to mention that it is not crowded as what we are expecting since it is still summer.

They have kiddie pool with waterfalls and fountains, Sun screen pool, Giant slide pool with 3 looped slide, 6 lane Lap pool, Bean pool, Buzzy River (although when we were there it is under maintenance), and ofcourse their Beach and Ocean waves pool.

We had so much fun in the Ocean waves pool it is like a real wave from the Ocean and same thing in the Beach waves. Waters is really strong that no matter what you do, you will be tumbled. I guess I'm not the only one who had so much fun, even my 8 months old daughter. And YES...ELIE really enjoyed so much...he even tried to play in the waves...cool...such a brave kid.

Too bad, the management is very strict that they don't allow foods and drinks inside the place not unless you'll buy from their own concessioner. The price of the food inside the CME is very pricey, so for me, as a mother and being practical,...In our case, we had our own food and left it in our car, so we went out for awhile to have lunch.
I guess were not the only one who did the same thing....haha!

Kimbob (Korean foodie)

  After a long day of going to the mall with the kiddos, we decided to eat a Korean delish...ofcourse one of my fave is their bulgogi with japchae on the side. It's so yummy and sweet. No wonder why more people line up and tried their bulgogi.

Problem with constipated child

  My son Elijah Franco who will turn 4 years old this Sept suffered from constipation. At first I thought he just need to drink lots of water and it will be soon gone. As days, nights, weeks and months passed, I noticed that he is not constant in going to the loo, and everytime he poop its just small amount, though he eats a lot. 
Then I get to worried about him, we brought him to the doctor and advised us to give him "prunes" or "prune juice", Elie must have not enough fiber intake.

So this is what we bought...

Suprisingly the taste is good...but for my sweet Elie, he doesn't like the taste, so I added a little water and sugar, for him to like it. After 2 days of drinking it, Elie has a successful poop, hehe.

Biscuits for 6 months and up

   I wanted to give something new for my Erin and I am tired of giving her the same old "meryenda" snacks that she usually ate...like cerelac perhaps. One time while I'm doing my grocery, I passed by in this aisle where I usually see some baby stuff's and I saw this biscuit box named "bibibon", I was curious what it was so I picked one box and read the ingredients. And It says that it is good for 6-12 months, and since my Erin turned 8 months , I know it is already good for her.

When I got home, I was ofcourse excited to give her my "pasalubong", I opened it and as a curious mom, I was the one who tried it first, (im sure im not the only one mom who does it)before I handed it to her a small piece. As i've taste it, it does really taste good. It's a little bit sweet and crunchy but when you mixed it in water it will easily softened and the texture would be like cerelac. But the taste is different ofcourse, hehe.

I am happy because my little one Erin likes it and same with my 3 year old son :-)

I am sure that the next time I will do my grocery, I will not forget to buy another box of "Bibibon".

First Aid Inside the house

  I am a mother of a 3 years old boy and a 8 months old baby girl.  I always make sure that the house is clean and safe from harm. My husband and I kept away sharp things such as knife, scissors, hamer, mechanical tools, etc.
To make that possible we put it at the top of the cabinet where our kids won't be able to reach it especially our son. He is very curious in everything, no matter how we stop him doing things that might hurt him, he still going to do it. And we understood that having a toddler is not easy, he always test our patience. But sometimes when accidents happen it is advisable that each house  has a first aid kit. 

In our house we always have these things:

But I guess I'm the only one whose using the Petroleum Jelly for my lips...

But these are the few stuff's that we have in our house, this are just the basics.


Be careful everyone!

Mother's Day (May 9)

Belated Happy Mother's Day to us!!!

Mother's love is uncondional...

When my mom is still with us, I remember that whenever I came home from school,  I always give her something on that special day....she would always say "Anak, sana hindi mo na ako binilhan nito, sayang lang pera mo, itinabi mo na lang sana para sayo"., I don't know if I should get disappointed because she never appreciated the effort I did'to buy her that (whatever it is) but still I ignored it. For me I just wanted it to give her something....this scene kept on going on and on until I had a job. She never get tired on saying that and I never get tired on buying her stuff's. There's one time (mother's day) I didn't had a money to buy something for her, since I lost my job, and I don't even have the means of having my own money, I felt so bad and sorry for myself for not giving her anything,...I went to her kiss and hug her tight and greeted her " ma, happy mother's day", she looked at me and told me " Hindi ko malilimutan itong araw na to, dahil sa akap at halik mo, ito ang pinaka magandang regalo binigay mo sakin" , I was shocked and stunned, and suddenly realize that of all those years and all those stuff's I gave her, only hug and kiss from me is what she was waiting for...

And now that she's gone, I won't be able to kiss her and hug her tight, only in my dreams...

Now for those of you who still has a mom physically, never be shy to kiss and hug her tight...
You wouldn't want that happen to you, won't you?

To my mom in heaven whose watching over us, HAPPY Mother's Day!!! I love you and I missed you.

Everybody meet my MOM AND MY DAD.
