Hot Wheels Don’t Just Make It Awesome, Make it Epic!

They used to say they’re too old for Hot Wheels. I AM NOT TOO OLD FOR HOT WHEELS NO! Ok that escalated so quickly! I love Hot Wheels myself, I used to play with HW when I was a kid! And if I can have a toy room, it would be filled with die cast cars, train tracks, a Barbie House and Mega Bloks!

Buuut my kids think it is not for them anymore! Well not until last Christmas. Days before their Christmas Party, students were asked to write their wish list. And my kids, knowing the amount won’t really get their “real” wish, opted for a more practical and more affordable gifts. My oldest asked for school supplies (BRAVO! BRAVO!) and my two younger boys asked for HW cars. Yay! Finally the realized how good these brand of cars are and how cheap it is. Hot Wheels die cast are the cheapest and yet most durable gift to give for boys!

Their love for Hot Wheels has been renewed!

Hot Wheels Track

And still last Christmas, they bought a HW track set from their pamasko! The set was kinda expensive but the two younger boys chipped in. I never really liked battery operated track set but they look soooo happy with their purchase! And I might give in when they ask for more race tracks and more cars!

Did you know that Hot Wheels has been creating thrilling vehicle experience for more than 40 years now? The brand continues to evolve into a a global lifestyle brand for boys of all ages (and moms too! haha) and has now become the leading toy vehicle property in the market.

This year, Hot Wheels is up for another challenge: Don’t Just Make It Awesome, Make it Epic!

It’s the brand’s new campaign that aims to empower boys with exhilaration and achievement. With all the new and exciting products lined up for 2016, from the extensive car collections, to the coolest track sets available, boys will be inspired to play bigger, faster, higher, cooler, louder, anywhere, any way.

Hot Wheels dares you to start an epic collection… create epic tracks… build an epic race… This not just a toy. This is the ride of your life. This is Hot Wheels.

HAlso love HW? What do you collect? Cars or Tracks? Share it with me! How many cars your kids have right now?!?

Busy Days Deserve #LUXNights With Lux Body Wash?

I admit that my favorite time of the day is bath time (umm except of course when the husband arrives from the office.. that would be the highlight of my day!). I take looong luxurious bath at night. It’s my way of coping up with my busy life. A few minutes under warm water takes all my stress and anxieties

I didn’t know bath time can be sooo much better with LUX Perfumed Bar Soap and Lux Body Wash Collection because it allows me to bathe with Perfume Every Day! Bathing with perfume?!? That is what luxurious bathing is all about pala!

Les Miserables Manila Here We Come!

Currently watching Les Miserables 25th anniversary concert while giving myself a sharp whack for even thinking of selling my Les Miserables Manila tickets! DARN girl! What have I been thinking then? I bought 3 tickets for the first day show during the presale.. that’s how excited I was!

I’m blaming the pregnancy hormones! Upon realizing that my Marius (not Cosette’s) will be just a few weeks old by March 11, I quickly decide not to watch the show. STUPID me! STUPID me!

THIS IS MY MOST SUPER DUPER FAVORITE MUSICAL OF ALL TIME!

And it was voted as the greatest musical of all time! How stupid of me to even think of missing this show?!? Ang tanga ko talaga!

I am not expecting the LesMisManila to be as grand as the 25th anniversary concert. I know getting all four Valjeans to perform Bring Him Home is saved for special occasions.. Have you seen that part? My fave is when it’s time for Alfie Boe’s Bring Him Home segment.. that sigh though hahaha

Or as grand as when the original 1985 cast led the ensemble in a “One Day More” performance!

but I am expecting I’d be awed just the same..

Although my heart still wishes for Ramin! Obviously he’s not part of the LesMis Oz (the one performing for Les Miserables Manila).. can I just dream?!?

Here is the Les Miserables Manila Cast:

Jan Valjean SIMON GLEESON
Javert EARL CARPENTER
Fantine RACHELLE ANN GO
Thénardier CAMERON BLAKELY
Madame Thénardier HELEN WALSH
Éponine KERRIE ANNE GREENLAND
Cosette EMILY LANGRIDGE
Enjolras CHRIS DURLING
Marius PAUL WILKINS

Rachelle Ann Go as Fantine is good enough for me! #ProudFilipino

Noooooow that we’re finally watching it. I need to sort out our accommodation. I’m breastfeeding so I am planning to bring my Marius and the rest of the family near Solaire (or better if Solaire!). It will be my second son’s birthday weekend too.. so a stay-cation is just proper.

And lastly, we need costumes! We need something to wear to watch the Les Miserables Manila show! I’m trying to convince my boys to wear Gavroche. I want to wear Epinone but hellooo post pregnancy figure! Madama Thenardier is the closest!

Love musical too? Are you planning to watch Les Miserables Manila? This is our first time to watch a love musical, any tips?!? Suggestions are welcome!

FYI: Les Miserables Manila opened few more shows!
