New Routine, Exciting Days Ahead!

Ang title sana ng post na ito ay Back to regular programming.. but after a few days, I realized, the title is not apt for what is happening to us, particularly to me and to my routine.

This school year is different from last year.. I have three school boys this school year but I am less haggard.. it feels like, everything’s in proper places.. parang swak na swak lahat.. My routine is quite hectic, umm more hectic than it was last year, but I am surviving it and loving it. I’d wake up at 5 (but working on 4 so I can blog at least an hour), prepare breakfast (hopefully I can squeeze in my Metafit routine.. it’s a work in progress too haha)take bath (make up time!) wake the kids up, give them a bath.. let them eat their breakfast while I enjoy my “me” time aka coffee time.. after breakfast brush teeth then off to school. After dropping them to their respective classrooms, I’ll go home, work then cook lunch. Wake Sati up then off to fetch Sanko and bring the older boys lunch meal.

We usually go to school an hour before Sangko’s dismissal (mahirap na, baka mapaaga ang uwi, magwawala un pag hindi kame nakita) and to make use of the time, I teach Sati while waiting for Sanko (sorta homeschooling but happens on the school hehe)

Before lunch, a few minutes is spent checking on Sangko’s school books and doing his homework. Lunch time is about me, Sati, Sangko with Sir Chief and Maya.. after lunch, nap time..after nap time, tutor time with the older boys.. then work, the cook dinner.. then sleep.. parang robot lang no? but really, I love it! Mahilig talaga ako sa routine and it’s hard pag mejo nalilihis ako sa routine ko.. so far, so good.. sana ma maintain namin haha

Speaking of “me” time and make up time.. last year talaga, I make it a point na I’m in full battle gear before the sun says hi.. pero pagdating ng summer, tinamad na ako mag make up.. I said to myself, this school year, I should be back to full battle gear.. and one afternoon a surprise and a very nice motivation was delivered at my doorsteps:

Ang bongga di ba! British Invasion!

Collection Cosmetics, one of the hippest and most loved make up brands in the UK, is now here in the Philippines! Get ready to create a make up look that will make you say, “This is me and I love it”.

The box I got includes blush, mascara, lipstick (and lip gloss), eye liner, foundation and a BB cream.. I’d be super biased ha.. pero to date, this is the most exciting loot I received from being a blogger! Yay, thanks so much Collection Cosmetics, ready na ulit sa full battle gear days! (watch out for the reviews on my cosmetics blog: My Painted Lips)

Summer Thinspiration

And after two beach getaways.. ngayon lang ako nagka summer thinspiration! Late bloomer! Well, if I hadn’t bought these two cute dresses, I wouldn’t’ be inspired..

Well.. these dresses fits me.. but I look like I’m 5 month old pregnant.. ugh! My goal is to be able to wear these without looking like a hippo ehehehe and that should happen before our grand getaway this May!!! ayayay! a month for my weight! Good Luck!

Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga Habit

Bakit ka ba nagkakape?

I asked my husband as we sip our Nescafe Classic coffee (mine is creamy while his is black) in our porch (naks porch daw oh!)..he answered: habit. As expected.. that’s the kind of answer you’ll get for someone who is not romantic, who in 13 years of being together never even bothered giving me flowers. Then I went on asking him about flowers and why, even though we were in flower capital of the Philippines he never even bought me single petal for me. Of course I know the answer to that..asking him err more like teasing him is like drinking coffee, it’s a habit.

We start our morning like that.. wait, let me rephrase that, he starts his morning like that, while for me, that would be my second cup. My first cup of coffee was earlier. That cup I called, my moment of peace. Taken during dawn.. alam mo iyong oras na nag aagaw ang dilim ta liwanag? That’s my favorite time of the day, the best time to enjoy my first cup of coffee 🙂

and this is how the first cup is done:

smell the coffee.. blow a little.. sip a little.. enjoy the taste and look around..
haaaaaayssss.. peaceful, quiet morning… this is how drinking coffee should be..
smell the coffee.. blow a little.. sip a little.. enjoy the taste and look around..
haaaaayysss.. thankful for moments like this..and thankful for the day that’s about to come..

I’d do that until I had the last drop of my coffee..

sarap talaga mag kape kada umaga no?

pero mas sasarap pa ang umaga mo with Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga:

With Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga, ako at ang friends ko ang headline! ang bongga lang di ba?

You can personalize your Kada Umaga content by picking the news you want to wake up every morning.. think of it as your very own newspaper.. hindi pa ba sasarap ang umaga while sipping your Nescafe Classic and reading news that you only want to read?

You can also share the news to your friends through Facebook and Twitter and make their mornings as good as yours.. and not only that, you will gain points every time you use the app and share the good news (accumulated points can be exchange to Nescafe goodies such as mugs, shirt and a lot more!)

And last but not the least, you can also publish your newspaper and save it in your desktop (see photo above)…

Now I know where my third cup of coffee will be… reading my Kada Umaga newspaper, where else?
