Which Kakao Friend Are You?

I want to be identified as Easy – Going Frodo.. even just for the sake of savoring a cup of the finest coffee every morning. BUT! Frodo is wealthy! And I am only rich with love! LOL

At least we’re both dogs! I was born year of the dog eh.

Easy- Going Frodo is one of the famous Kakao Friends character from equally famous mobile messaging app, KakaoTalk. Frodo is a city dog from a wealthy family who always maintains a relaxed demeanor. If you have time and money to spare, then you might identify with Frodo.

Well, if you’re not Frodo, which Kakao Friend are you? Check out the other Kakao Friends to know which character fits you the most.. Me? I am a few gold bars away from being Frodo! LOL

Dynamic Jay-G

Are you always trying to look your best? Do you keep a part of yourself hidden while secretly hoping others will notice? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then you just might be a Jay-G!

Jay-G is a secret agent by day, and a hip-hop star by night. He’s always the coolest guy in the room with his signature tuxedo and dark sunglasses. Not only is Jay-G’s suit crisp, but he always makes it a point to get his hair done fresh. Despite all of his efforts, Jay-G somehow struggles to impress the ladies.

Emo Tube

Are you very quick to show your emotions? Are you one of those people that go from nice to angry in a split second? Are you normally a quiet person that explodes when faced with injustice? If you answer yes to all of the above, Tube is most definitely your Kakao Friend counterpart.

A warm-hearted softie with an angry alter ego, Tube is definitely not your average duck. He wears large flippers to hide his small feet and turns into a fanged green duck when he’s mad or scared. Whether white or green, Tube always shows his emotions to the fullest!

Adventurous Muzi

Are you ready to do whatever it takes to conquer your fears and experience everything life has to offer? Do you love dressing up in cute costumes? Are you endlessly playful? If yes, then you are most like Muzi.

Most people don’t realize that Muzi is a radish because he loves dressing up in cute bunny costumes! In his costume, Muzi’s confidence is sky-high and there’s nothing he can’t do. Muzi is also always seen with his creator-turned-sidekick, Con. Don’t be surprised if this inseparable duo soon takes over the world. If you’re happy-go-lucky and always with a buddy – you could be Muzi!

Con: the Mad Scientist

Are you clever and imaginative? Do you like to create… living things? Do you treat these creations as if they are your children? If you’re a new age Dr. Frankenstein, then you must be Con.

Con, the tiny crocodile (that green tiny one on top of Muzi), grew a radish and a peach and transformed them into Muzi and Apeach, both of whom he carefully watches over. While living, breathing fruits and vegetables are certainly awesome, may we suggest you can channel your creativity into building things like robots and spaceships?

Sexy Apeach

Do you consider yourself to be the campus crush or a head-turning hottie? Are you charismatic and popular? Are you often worried that people might discover your flaws? Like it or not, you are quite possibly an Apeach!

Apeach is the result of Con’s experiment to genetically modify a peach. Everyone loves Apeach’s hot looks, but they’re not big fans of his hot temper. If you’re like Apeach, we suggest you to match your outside with your inside. After all, real beauty comes from within, right?

Self-Absorbed Neo

Does the world revolve around you? Do you put your needs before others? Do you make exceptions ONLY for your special someone? If you’re nodding right now, then you must be a Neo.

Neo is a selfish, vain cat who prides herself on the perfect bob of her wig. She only compromises for Frodo, the one and only love of her life. Neo and Frodo’s relationship is pure drama, as they’re constantly fighting like cats and dogs! Still, they’re never apart, and they always find ways to settle things between them. Neo rides with Frodo no matter what.

Tara na nga, let’s savor a cup of the finest coffee!

10 Things You Need To Know When Buying A Mattress

What’s your favorite part of your house? Well, except for the bathroom where all great ideas are conceptualized and the kitchen where all the energy(FOOD!) needed to make those ideas come true.. what? BEDROOM? specifically the BED right? Don’t tell otherwise. Don’t we all love to sleep? Don’t we all love to spend a few more minutes in our bed? Hey, we spend at least 1/4 of our life on bed (1/3 on my part teehee) and it just makes sense that we need to be more meticulous in choosing the right mattress. So before you spend your hard earned 13th month pay on a mattress, here’s 10 Things You Need To Know When Buying A Mattress:

1. Importance of Sleep

As an adult, we know how grumpy we can get if we lack sleep. But do you know how lack of sleep affects your child? Lack of sleep can sometimes be attributed to the condition of the bed or the mattress. Knowing the importance of sleep will made you realize that spending on a good mattress is an investment.

2. Size of Mattress

Mattress sizes are usually referred as singe, double, full, queen and king. Their sizes differs on the width, while the length are all the same except for the King be. Size are in inches:

Single 36 x 75
Double 48 x 75
Full 54 x 75
Queen 60 x 75
King 72 x 78

For taller persons, California- King is the perfect option, it’s size is a 72” x 84′.

Note: Measure your space before deciding which size to buy.

3. Thickness of Mattress

Mattress thickness can go from 4 inches up to 20 inches. Ideally, or the size that gives the most comfort is size 10 and up. You have to remember though, the thicker the mattress, the heavier it is, the more stress it has on your bed frame.

4. Kinds of Mattress

The most popular kinds of mattress are spring type and foam type. Spring types are made of steel coil springs and upholstered layer. Foam mattress are made of Latex rubber foams or visco-elastic foams (memory foams). Which is better?

Spring Mattress VS Foam Mattress

Based on my experience? Foam Mattress is better, the only con I can think of is the price. Choosing which foam to buy, latex or memory, solely depends on what kind of comfort you are looking for.

5. Comfort Index

You’re lucky if you chanced upon a mattress comfort scale when you buy a mattress. This is a software used to see which mattress offers you the most comfort. In Uratex My Home Event held at SM Megamall a few weeks ago, I was lucky to try a comfort index scale.

I tried 3 Uratex mattresses: Hamptons Royale, Hamptons Mystique and Hamptons Elite. I was asked to try out the 3 beds in different lying positions. On my back and on the side. Based on the result, the best bed for me, or the one that offers the most comfort is Hamptons Royale.

6. Mattress Price

Knowing how much comfort Hamptons Royale can give me, I can say that the price no longer matter now. But of course, budgeting is not that easy. To help you budget your money, check out mattress prices at Uratex Website.

7. Mattress Warranty

Another thing you need to know is the warranty of the mattress you are going to buy. Other mattress has 5 year warranty, while Hamptons Royale has 15 years warranty. The warranty usually comes free with the purchase.

8. Where to buy mattress

It would be more convenient to shop online, but when it comes to mattress, it is still best to buy it personally. In this case, you can try out the mattress before deciding, They say that you should lie down for 15-120 minutes to get a feel of the mattress.

Also take into account the exclusivity of the product, for example, Uratex Hapmtons line is only available at SM Our Home stores.

9. Discounts and Freebies

Who does not like discounts and freebies? Make sure to ask for discounts or freebies before buying or Like the Uratex Facebook Page to get updates on their sales and promos.

10. Pillows

Some people does not like sleeping with pillows but most can’t sleep with pillows, if you are buying a good quality mattress, also invest on a good quality pillow like the Uratex Soft Escape Pillow

BONUS: If you have a small house, I reccommend buying a sofa bed instead. Sofa bed can act both as your bed and your sofa when friends come to visit

Every Coffee Needs A Lotus Biscoff

If not for coffee, I am no supermommy (take a look at my About me logo on the side)..so anything that goes well with coffee wins my heart!

and that’s what happened during the #DiscoverLotusBiscoff event last week.

We’ve known Biscoff from last year’s cookie butter craze, what we do not know is, the cookies where it came from is equally addicting.. specially when paired with…

TADAH!

COFFEE!

no wonder the hashtag #EveryCoffeeNeedsALotus is a worldwide trend! Coffee is much much better with Lotus!

Ay you have to try it to believe! Coffee then milk (NO SUGAR), drink with Lotus… a moment of awesome discovery!

Dali, try it na and tell me how it was!

Or let’s have a coffee date? Sagot ko ang Lotus Biscoff Cookies + Chika, sige pati na rin coffee, who wants?

Lotus Biscoff Cookies known as Lotus Speculoos in Europe is now here in Manila!

Quick History:

1960s- Lotus Biscoff Cookies was tagged as Europe’s Favorite Cookie with Coffee

1985- Lotus Biscoff was introduced to the United States as an in-flight treat

2011- Lotus Biscoff becomes a household name in the US

2014- Fly Ace Corporation brings Lotus Biscoff in the Philippines

Fly Ace Corporation is also the distributor of some of my favorite brands (yours too for sure!) Doña Elena, GoodLife and Jolly brands (Mushroom, Jolly Cow, Jolly Cooking Oil etc).

During the event pala, Chef Vicky Veloso-Barrera made some interesting dishes using Lotus Biscoff cookies.. this one stands out:

Instead of using ciabatta, Chef Vicky used Biscoff… The sweetness of Biscoff balances the saltines of the beef, making this dish a favorite in our table during the launch.

So yes, aside from being a coffee partner, Lotus Biscoff can also be used to make interesting dishes… and given its sweet taste, Lotus can make desserts more interesting too!

Who’s shopping for Lotus this weekend? ME!
