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!

I Choose #MultipleIntelligence Week 7 Twitter Giveaway (Winners from Week 1-5)

I mentioned that our Twitter promo will run for 10 weeks right? Sinabi ko di ba?!?

OK fine, in case you missed my announcement, yes the I Choose #MultipleIntelligence is a weekly promo for 10 weeks. We’re now on our 7th week! And just the same, I want to know your thoughts on Multiple Intelligence.

We know now that Intelligence is not a singe entity but rather a multiple one that is quite independent of each other or simply put as body smart, people smart and brain smart.

My kids, obviously, are all brain smart but since I believe and I choose Multiple Intelligence, I know they are more than that. Two of my older boys are showing signs that they are people smart too, specially my older one. The 3rd boy, remember? The shyest of them all.. is also becoming more and more people smart.

I Choose #MultipleIntelligence because my kids are individuals, each with their own capabilities and capacities and each needs to be treated differently.

And here’s what other moms have to say why they choose #MultipleIntelligence:

It’s your turn to make kwento why you choose #MultipleIntelligence

You can give us tips or activities you do with your kids to enhance their Multiple Intelligence or any activities that recently showed their Multiple Intelligence achievement (ex, ordering in a fast food restaurant etc)

You know what to do! Good Luck!

Taxi Driver Returns Bag From Jeepney Holdup

With so many news regarding taxi drivers and their dishonesty, hindi naman na ganoon kadali magtiwala sa kanila di ba? That’s exactly what happened to my dear friend.

Around 9 PM kagabi, si friend , let’s call her Mahros, sent an SOS. Her bags were missing! Ayan ang back story sa taas na nangyari sa Mindanao Avenue. She tried to give her music player to the robber.. but they politely refused (sorry comedy lang talaga to). And while retracing her steps and figuring out how to block her phone and cards, her mother called.

According to Mahros’ mother, the taxi driver called her because she was the emergency contact person from Mahros’ ID. They agreed to meet in Quezon City 7 AM the next day (which is today, Saturday). Si friend, na tatawagin nating Mahros, andito sa bahay, nagpapagpag ng kawindangan.

So OK na di ba? Everything is well.. we all just have to wait.

Kaso, a friend told Mahros that when he called Mahros’ number, the one who answered the phone said she got her bags from QC Circle. NYEEEE! QC Circle? Eh sa Mindano Ave nga nangyari ang robbery at kung saan nagbato ng gamit si friend. Anyare kuyang taxi driver? May exortion bang kaganapan?

Saturday morning, together with her mom and sister, Mahros meet up with the man. Si manong, nagpakaba pa! Nalate! In the end, binalik din nya ang gamit ni friend ng kumpleto at full charge ang phone ni friend.. but not without making sure na si friend talaga ang may ari ng bag. Maraming tanong si kuya bago nya binigay ang bag like ilang stitches ng bag sa side.. anong klaseng sinulid, etc.. (joke lang, tinanong lang nya ang contents)

According to Manong Taxi Driver, which we can call Kuya Marino Abuzo, nalampasan nya ang bags pero nag decide pa rin sya na pulutin ito. At may mga tao din na nag interes sa gamit ni friend.. pero si kuya ay matindi ang proteksyon sa bags.. inpak! ang kanyang pretend call with the HE friend.. was a decoy.. ang wais ni manong!

Maraming salamat kay Kuya Marino Abuzo, na nagda-drive ng taxi na may plate number UVW – 826, sa pagsoli ng aking dalawang bag na nakita niyang nakabalandra sa kahabaan ng Mindanao Ave.
Sabi niya, nakita daw niya ang bag ko at nalampasan na niya pero binalikan pa rin niya at kinuha. Meron pa raw isang jeepney driver at ilang naka-motorsiklo na pinilit siya na iwan ang bags ko pero inuwi pa rin niya at hinanap ang ID ko at kinontak si Mother Hen. Tunay na bayani talaga siya kasi maliban sa wala akong nawalang gamit, ni-charge pa niya ang aking phone.
Promote ko lang kanyang taxi service 09063291235.

Saan ka makakakita nga ganitong klaseng tao? It was not his stuff.. but he guarded it as if it was his. At kung tutuusin pwede na nya itakbo ang bag na yun! PERO HINDI NYA GINAWA! BINALIK NYA ANG BAG ni friend!!

MANONG MARINO ABUZO. magpalit na po kayo ng aplyedio.. dahil sure kame na hindi kayo marunong mang abuso. PEACE!
