Lutong Pinoy (Recipes) FB Group : A Great Virtual Place for Foodies

Lutong Pinoy (Recipes) : My New Addiction on Social Network

This group, LP, has inspired many moms, housewives and career women alike, to cook and bake for their families and loved ones. News feed is jam-packed with good vibes, shared recipes, and helpful/useful tips to make each

It felt so humbling and overwhelming to see many women from different walks of life, united to be one, working towards one goal – to prepare something delicious and enticing for their families, and most of all, stepping out of their comfort zones and starting a business that would make them feel their self-worth as a mom and as an entrepreneur even in their own little ways. 

To this group, I believe that everyone has found in many ways to appreciate life and live such to the fullest.

Truly, LP has touched many lives including mine, making me get so hooked and addicted to this group. This LP craze has changed my daily routines on social networks.

Thanks to my sister April for letting me know of this group, to the admins and members for sharing goodness and love through their simple culinary masterpieces.

Muli, maraming salamat mga Ka-LP. 

Mabuhay tayong lahat! Cheers!

God speed.

xoxo,

Mommy Mai

Eieo's First Field Trip with JVCMSI Family

Happiness is a choice, a gift from God that we shall all savor and be thankful for. And seeing our unico hijo feel so happy makes the rewards of parenthood more special. 

He always finds ways to enjoy his schooling and academic experiences with his friends, classmates, schoolmates and mentors.

Since I have already blogged about how hubby and I are both feeling blessed to finally find a good school for our kiddo (read my blog HERE… JVCMSI, our newly found ‘gem’), I intend to write something about his new experiences this time.

One of our child’s academic milestones is to participate in educational tours. During his first grade at JVCMSI, hubby and I joined him on this fun-filled learning experience. 

Enjoying good times, doing playful actions, and feeling very excited and enthusiastic over each ride at Enchanted Kingdom, we know that this has been a priceless experience.

November 28, 2014 @ 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. 

JVCMSI Educational Tour Itinerary:

Intramuros, Manila and Fort Santiago

Luneta (Martyrdom of Dr Jose Rizal)

Blue Wave

Nuvali

Enchanted Kingdom

Field trips like this can always be fun and entertaining, such a great learning opportunity for everyone.

Activities like this give students educational experiences away from their regular school environment, a good way to break monotony and routines. Kids can look forward to and prepare for the trip for several days or weeks. Then, they get to spend the day in a different learning environment and can complete a lesson on the topic covered after the trip is over. Learning in different ways can appeal to varied learning styles, helping children to succeed whether they are visual, auditory or kinetic learners.

Students visiting different educational facilities learn in a more hands-on and interactive manner than they do in school. And when done 'right', field trips can be a powerful component of a well-rounded instructional program.

Just keep in mind that safety of everyone, especially the students, is strictly observed; itineraries are relevant and educational, most of all, objectives are met.

To sum it up, everybody had so much fun, a perfect time to bond with families, friends and all.

xoxo,

Mommy Mai

Happy to Have My New Xiaomi Redmi 1S

Xiaomi Redmi 1S - Our Newest Babe 

Since August 2014, I have been browsing over the web to know when Xiaomi Redmi 1S would be available in the Philippines. 

And when I found out that Lazada would have it on sale for only Php 5,599.00, I managed to set my calendar and informed my families and friends about this great news!

September 4, at exactly 12:04, I was able to purchase units for me and friends. I was so happy to grab the chance as units were no longer available at 1 p.m. - exactly an hour after the sale/launch here in the Philippines. 

Anyway, effortless shopping begins at LazadaPH and I was so satisfied with its services - sending updates via sms and email and most of all, LEX (Lazada Express) and its logistics partners, LBC have my unit/s delivered to our humble home this morning, September 8, Monday on Mama Mary's Birthday! 

Stress-Free Online Shopping at LazadaPH 

Dear friends and avid readers, I strongly recommend online shopping at LazadaPH. No hassles, no stress. Notifications are prompt, updates are rigid, partner-courier (LBC) sends text messages and even calls on the day the item/s or parcel/s would be delivered, and most of all, customer service is responsive, courteous and accommodating. You need not to track your order/s as I  have said, the team is prompt and generous in providing you updates and notifications. 

Thumbs up for LazadaPH!
Great service, good deal, value for money, satisfaction guaranteed.

Anyway, here are my reasons why I finally decided to buy this unit instead of other phones:

1. Value for Money - Affordable Price only at Php 5,599.00

3. Say Wow! - Reliable and Remarkable Specifications

Thank You Message from the Newly Weds

Message of Gratitude from the Bride and the Groom :

First, we want to thank our Heavenly Father who brought and kept us together. We know that He has blessed our marriage and we look forward to spending the rest of lives together honoring His word. 

Secondly, we would like to thank all of you:

To our parents, without whom, we would never be the “people” that we are. We are eternally grateful for your love and support, especially as we planned our wedding, and have a family of our own;

To our principal sponsors, thank you for gracing us with your presence, sharing your time, and making yourselves be called as our second parents. We are certain that your guidance and care would direct us to happy marriage and responsible parenthood. We also thank you for making each visit in your humble homes very unforgettable; we’d cherish those moments as you all have your own uniqueness and experiences, most of all, your words of wisdom would surely echo every time we would feel joy and triumphs or would need to face challenges and struggles.

To our families, relatives, friends, and guests, for your time and efforts just to spend this once in a lifetime experience with us.

We understand that most of you have hectic schedules and other commitments but you generously shared with us your precious time. Your presence makes this union and feast more special and memorable. Words aren’t enough to extend our appreciation and gratitude to each and all.

We are truly humbled by the show of love and support that we have received from everyone not just today, but also over the years. Most of you have helped us with lots of things to make this wedding as beautiful and organized as we have always dreamed of. 

This is certainly a special day for us, and we pray that the support that you've shown us will continue. As we embark on our new life together, I hope that those of you who have been married for many years will be willing to offer advice and wisdom when needed. We are committed to staying married and in love forever, and we know it will be so much easier with all of your by our sides.

With much pride and gratitude, I thank you all once again and hope you all had a great time.

Keep safe on your way back home as we, Mr and Mrs Rainier Policarpio, conclude this celebration with a blast, finally sharing intimacy and romance later.

Good night everyone, God bless us all! 

Cheers!

Just tied a knot,

Rainier and Myraine
