Del Monte Bone Smart

Since I am on my second pregnancy and I should be taking more calcium now, I was really hesitant at first because I am not a fan of vitamins. Tamad akong uminom ng mga gamot lalo na at ang gamot ng mga buntis ay nakakatakot sa laki. Haha. Thanks to my sister-in-law for introducing Del Monte Bone Smart to me because I get to enjoy juice drinks and get calcium at the same time. The one on the photo is their new flavor. They now have pineapple and orange flavors. 

It says on the package that drinking this is equivalent to 2 glasses of milk, oh diba bongga?! This is really good for those who are like me na takot sa gamot na malalaki. Haha. One can of Bone Smart is 25 pesos in grocery stores, not bad naman since this is for you and your baby. :)

Pregnant!

I am so back! Ilang buwan akong hindi nakapag blog dahil sa "hormones" ko. Hihi. 

I am happy to announce that we are expecting our second child! Kaya pala tamad na tamad akong magkikikilos, dahil pala preggy ako! Yay! I am on my 5th month na. Wow! Time flies so fast talaga. 

I learned I was pregnant back in July. Nag suggest ang hubby ko na magtest daw ako kasi two months na akong delayed. Well, at first naman kasi hindi ako natatakot dahil may PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) ako kaya minsan normal na hindi ako magka period. Then nung nag test ako, boom! Positive nga! Thank you Lord! In all honesty, ready na kameng mag asawa na sundan ang four-year old daughter namin, kasi hindi na siya ganun ka alagain, plus I guess four years is enough to try to give birth normally (I was CS on my first baby).

Now, I'm on my 5th month and hindi pa ganun kalaki ang tummy ko compared nung unang pregnancy ko. Plus, wala masyadong complications, dahil na rin siguro sa nasa bahay lang ako ngayon at hindi araw araw nagta-travel. We are praying for a normal delivery and for a boy, but whatever is God's plan for me, this baby and my family, we will accept. Blessing na nga ang bigyan kame ng isa pang anak at saktong timing pa, kung kailan ready na kame. I believe talaga na when you're ready and your heart is ready, God will give you the desires of your heart. Tiwala lang. :)

I will posting in the coming days a lot of photos from the months I was not able to blog. Marami raming blessings din ang natanggap ko for the past few months, I want to share them with you not to boast but to inspire you and believe that blessings are really overflowing. :)

Will be back soon!

I am happy to announce that I will be back to blogging real soon! I just completed my first trimester and on my second trimester this week so all the pregnant blues are slowly disappering. Yes! I am pregnant with my second child! Thank God! Will have more baby stuff reviews soon and I can't wait to share with you the reviews I've done in the past, plus will be tracking here my pregnancy as it progress.

Blogging again soon!

Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all awesome Daddy around the world!

We celebrated Father's Day last Sunday at SM Mall of Asia and ate at Burger King and the highlight of this was when we went to Swensen's, I won a gift certificate from Instagram! Yay! So timing for this celebration!

This is the Hurricane Ice Cream! We didn't finish this 5 scoop ice cream but it was so delicious! It's not too sweet. I think this is good for 3-5 person already. I forgot how much it cost but I think it's around 400 pesos, but we got this for free! Weee!

We had so much fun eating here and every bite is so worth it! 

Blessings!

I recently won on Cream-O's Race to 300 followers and also on Fiesta Pasta's Like and Share contest on Facebook. I got the prizes today, went to their offices in Boni (Cream-O) and in Magallanes (Fiesta Pasta).

Got 3 packs of Cream-O in different flavors! Yeay! Shared with nieces and nephews and some kids.

Got 1 kilo of pasta noodles and pasta sauce! Looks so yummy! We will cook and share with nieces and nephews and the people here in our house! :)

I always get so excited and super happy whenever I get picked for a prize on Facebook or Instagram. It's a different feeling when you win something, even a small token of appreciation for participating in the contest or anything. I don't usually join this but when my SIL told me about this and made me realized that they are legit and true, I tried and actually won myself. Thank you Fiesta Pasta and Cream-O!

Note: I am sharing this not to boast or anything, I am sharing this so that you can also try joining online contest and promos and you might also win just like me! Also, we should never forget to share our blessings! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all awesome and great mother around the world! This is such an important day for all moms out there. Though my family does not celebrate this day with lots of food and all, this day is surely filled with love from people around me. 

I only understand now why some moms are strict, busy with almost everything, gets mad when you did something wrong and when how happy if you get a good grade from school, that is because a mother's love is unconditional. Some may not understand it, not until they become a mom to their own kids.

This morning at Sunday service our church, (Living Faith in Jesus Ministry) all kids were given white rose to give to their moms. They were brought to a small room and some kids made cards for their moms with drawings on it. My daughter didn't want to go there at first but was able to get a white rose for me. :)

It is such a blessing to be a mom. It gives us the privilege to raise a kid the way God wants us to raise them. It is an honor that God has given us little people who can change our lives forever and so we should treasure every moment of our motherhood.

When I got pregnant with Amber, I had to make a lot of adjustments and changes with my life, I mean literally changes. I stopped smoking and since I am a first time mom, I was so excited to make her big inside my tummy. When she was born, the instinct of being a mother came to me all of a sudden. Sleepless nights when she was still really small, visit to pedia when she's sick, give her toys, buy her clothes, give her healthy food, all those things. Those were such precious moments and memories for me being a first time mom.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone again! May God continue to give us unconditional love to give to our kids and family. Today is no work day! Yehey!

The Amazing Spiderman 2

Okay, this is not a review of the movie The Amazing Spiderman 2. I want to share with you my experience when I won 2 tickets to the block screening of The Amazing Spiderman 2 from Magnavision Home Video.

I was actually not expecting that I'd won because there were a lot of followers who also wanted the free tickets. My sister-in-law just tagged me on it and I just commented that I also want to have free tickets. It was also my sister-in-law who saw my name as the lucky winner of the 2 free tickets from Magnavision Home Video. This was an event of AXN for the movie and I was just so happy that i won two tickets for this event. By the way, this is my first time to win movie tickets, so you could just imagine my happiness here :)

I went to this event with my best friend and since we are both not familiar with Makati and where Greenbelt is (don't laugh! haha) we planned to ride a cab instead but to our surprise, the day we went there was payday and it was the opening of Spiderman 2 and the next day was a holiday so you could expect everyone was out and enjoying their hard earned money and taking all the cabs! We took a bus ride instead, and when we got to Ayala, we walked to SM and asked the guards how to go to Greenbelt 5 where we need to pick up the tickets. We arrived there 15 minutes before 9 o'clock but Astrovision was already closed! I signaled the lady inside that I will be claiming my tickets so she let me in and there were also some people who were claiming their tickets. :)

So after we got the tickets, we had dinner and headed to Greenbelt cinemas. We were again surprised on how long the line was! All have their complimentary tickets from Ayosdito.ph, some from Globe and from BPI. It was a long line but it was worth it because we get to have a photo with Spiderman! Haha.

Okay, I am not a fan of Spiderman but seeing him there roaming around and taking photos with just everybody, I just had the urge to have a photo taken with him too. :)

This was before we enter the cinema. It was so nice of the photographer to take a photo from my camera before we enter the cinema.

Here's what we got from the movie. I really love getting free stuff! Upon entering, they gave us a bottle of water and a slice of Papa John's pizza and a shirt from Papa John's too. They had raffle inside too for selected participants and said that if you wear the shirt on a Thursday and you decide to eat at Papa John's, the person who is wearing the shirt will get 50% off on his/her personal consumption. However, the size of the shirt is large, for kids. It would not fit me and my best friend. Haha. We also got free photo souvenir when we went out when the movie was done. 

Thank you so much Magnavision Home Video for picking me to win The Amazing Spiderman 2 tickets, because of this I get to bond with my best friend. We haven't done that for such a long time! Thank you so much for the blessing and we had so much fun watching the movie!
