Kanlungan Ni Maria Visit With Jollibee

Pahinga muna ako sa list blogging (bukas na ulet haha).. let me share my experience during our visit sa mga lolo at lola ng Kanlungan ni Maria.

Kanlungan ni Maria – Home for the Aged Inc. is a residential institution that aims to provide its residents with a family and home environment wherein they could live better and dignified life. While in the home, the staff and volunteers provides them with love, care, attention and maintain their daily needs. The institution will help in locating those residents with missing families and relatives for the purpose of reconciliation. In case no family member can be traced a long-term placement in the home will be provided to them.

I really enjoy the time I spent with the lolo and lola of Kanlungan ni Maria. It’s a joy sharing moments with our seniors, learning from their stories.

Tatay Cris, one of the residents, told me that each part of our body has a purpose. And through his stories, he gave me the impression that serving your family is the best thing that any of us can experience.

It was Grandparents’ Day weekend when we visited Kanlungan ni Maria and the event held there was part of Jollibee’s tribute to our lolo and lola.

I am a lola’s girl, you know. Siguro that’s one of the reason why I enjoyed my stay there, it reminds me so much of Nanay Oya and how she took care of me and taught me a lot of things. #sentimode lang poe.

Here are some photos I took during the event:

The most fasyon Lola at Kanlungan, ang taray with all her bracelet and red lipstick!

One of my favorite moment during the event. Apong- apo ang peg ni Jollibee di ba?

This is Lolo Cris with Jollibee.

This is what happened during the visit:

Totoo naman, ito ang weekend na laging maalala ni Lolo at Lola.. at kami din na nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makasama sila..

Breeze ActivBleach 1Laba Day

As I mentioned, I joined Breeze ActivBleach 1Laba Day in Quezon City! The event was held at MRB Complex Covered Court Pilot Drive Brgy.Commonwealth.

Breeze ActivBleach is treating mommies across the country to a day off from their laundry chores with the simultaneous nationwide event 1Laba Day happening on August 28.

And Breeze did it!Moms brought their dirty laundry at the venue, Breeze together with their partner washing machine brands ( Electrolux, LG, Whirlpool, and White Westinghouse) took care of their clothes.

Mara Banson, Breeze brand manager, said, Through 1 Laba Day, we want to reach out to moms across the country thank them for being heroes who always put the needs of their families first. For sure, they can always rely on Breeze as their dependable partner in taking care of their loved ones.”

Breeze Celebrity SigeMoms Christine Bersola-Babao, Gladys Reyes and Dimples Romana were present during the event.

Gladys took the 1Laba challenge and showed to us how Breeze 4 enzyme technology works:

A shirt with different stains.. isang laba lang sa Breeze!

Sabi nga ni Gladys, with Breeze on her side, she is more comfortable to let her kids be kids: “We always have fun, learn and make memories together. Sometimes the messier the activity, the more fun it is!”

While the ever busy Mamu Christine said that Breeze allows busy moms like her to spend less time washing clothes and have more time for her kids. “With the 1Laba guarantee, I am assured that my family’s clothes are clean and fresh in just one wash and with less effort,” she said.

“All moms want the best for our kids and Breeze allows us to do that,” added Sige Mom Dimples. “I’m not afraid to let my daughter run, bike and be active because I know it’s the best way for her to learn. And I don’t have to worry about the stains on her clothes because I have Breeze.”

Obligatory pose with Mamu! hahaha

I am not busy as Mamu but like her, with Breeze, I get to spend more time with the kids and less time doing the laundry!

Have you tried using Breeze?

The Secret To Happiness Is Gratefulness

I noticed, there is so much inis/ annoyed status on my FB wall (once every week!). For someone who does not always post personal issues, that is too much already.

Hormones! I stopped taking pills so my hormones are going back to where it was 4 years ago. It’s kinda hard to fight this roller coaster emotion but I found the best solution to balance it.

GRATEFUL FRIDAY!

I used to publish a month-ender post (thankful post) and reading those entries makes me happy! I love reading my blog. I am my number 1 fan! hahaha

Why not make it a weekly habit! As I always say:

Every Friday, I will list the things that I am thankful of..

–Let’s start with the image above. That’s my own art work!! Artsy Craftsy eh? The text, I used textgram but the image, I made that! I used watercolor pencils. I am so kilig doing this artwork. Hubby was staring eh, plus the fact that watercolor pencil was his first gift to me (not the one I am using though but still…)

–Our dreams, finally, parked on our front (next year on our garage!). It is better, waaay waaay better than I imagined. When I say I am genuinely happy with the outcome, it’s an understatement. I am ecstatic!! Our mini van!!! Which feels like a real van. We got a mini van with second row captain seat, so the designated passengers on the 3rd row won’t have a hard time getting to their seat.

–Beauty products. Skin Care. I finally understood what emulsion, serum and the likes are all about. I am now trying the 10-Step Korean Skincare Routine.. and my skin is grateful!

–And lastly, I am thankful that the blogging mojo is back! Right on time as I need to finish some pending post event write ups.

Just writing this post made me feel guilty for complaining a lot.. I should do this gratefulness thingy every day!

How about you? What are the things that you are thankful this week?

Ay, I forgot! The exams are in!! And I am thankful that Chico is finally getting the hang of schooling.

Most improved award! I am so proud of him. Kuya and Diko’s exams are all good, compared to their first quarter exams last school year, their scores are waay better. I am trying a new approach in teaching, I’ll blog about after the experimental stage.

Sati, our little princess, our first time schooler, on the other hand, is surprisingly, excellent!

Surprisingly, because it is her first time, so we’re not expecting. She’s expecting though.. she’s not happy with her scores (she cried like a heart broken teenager!). She thought all her test papers are perfect. Well, she do have a point, for her, since she answered all the questions, she have no mistakes. When we assessed her paper and pointed out her mistakes, she realized that indeed, her answers were wrong. Still, she needs to eat ice cream.

So I am really thankful that she handled the disappointment very well.

Thank you my dear bagets for making me proud again and again and again!!
