Birthday 2015

Age are just numbers, they always say that. But hello! It’s not just numbers no. Wrinkles, dry skin, dry hair comes with age! I am not this skin and hair obsessed woman a few years back but being on your 30’s, you learned about the science behind elasticity and dryness.

But thank goodness for products like Pantene 3 Minute Miracle and Skin routines like the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine, we can slow down the wrinkles!

So I turned 33.. and if I can giveaway some of the products that I use and love, I would. But I don’t have that much resources no. Good thing, Pantene was on sale (for a very very quick moment) at Zalora and I hoard! Not just for myself but for my readers too! And I got to buy a discounted The Spa GC from a friend.

Funny thing, the amount of GC I bought for the mini giveaway came back to me double (more than double actually).. nakakatuwa talaga.. kaya Mga mare maraming salamat!

You know how much I love sharing my blessings.. so instead of just 4 recipients for my birthday blowout.. I am giving away 6 prizes!

The Spa GC worth 1000 PhP
The Spa GC worth 500 PhP
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml

Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml
Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (Hair Fall Control) 180ml

So before the much awaited winners reveal.. let me tell you about my birthday celebration first.

Our initial plan was to dine at Taal Vista for lunch. I bought some vouchers (yes I’m cheap like that! wahaha) last year and totally forgot about it. I just discovered that the voucher is already past its redemption period. We still went to Tagaytay and dine at Bag of Beans..which I still question myself why? of all places! Think whatever you think but Bag of Beans is never the same.. the homey feel? asan na iyon? The place is not like it was supposed to be (in my mind). I always think of Bag of Beans a secret garden. ay nag rant? Anyways, the place is still ma- ambiance and perfect for picture taking:

If you have plans of dinning at Bag of Beans, this is the most “secluded” area, near the entrance of the indoor restaurant.

That corner is perfect for “I just woke up”/ “I woke up looking like this” photo ops.

You might be wondering why I never posted a pic with the husband.. aaah he’s not just into pictures (a great dilemma every time the school asks for a family picture!). Since it’s my birthday, he obliged with a few shots! Whatever Dad! Whatevs!

We want to eat at Carlo’s Pizza for their buffalo wings but our tummy’s not cooperating, too much hot choco from Bag of Beans! But as usual, our Tagaytay trip is not complete without Buko Pie from The Original Buko Pie.

The husband asked me to run some bank errands at Megamall after our Tagaytay trip. It’s a Sunday so the only bank opened are the ones at SM. It’s my birthday pero mega utos? Binigyan naman ako ng kaunting pang shopping..

Shopping pala ha!

I came home to this:

So it was his way of keeping me busy to prepare for their birthday surprise!

Now, for your SURPRISE!

Thank you to all those who greeted me and took time doing so.. This is all for FUN so please do not question me why I choose this and not your entry. Walang samaan ng loob OK?

The complete version! Thank you again and again! Visit the blog for the birthday blowout prizes 🙂 #HappyBirthdayMommyPehpot

My Fearless Pinays List For 2014

In event held at Enderun last November, Whisper encourage Filipinas to shed their inhibitions and be bold and fearless.

A theatrical mime showed how the “mahinhin” culture and concerns about “tagos” holds women back from fully engaging in activities they like. And then the All-Girls Division Champions of the 2014 South East Asian Cheer leading Open DLSU Animo Squad demonstrated the exhilarating freedom that comes with unencumbered movement. Pole Cats also gave a mesmerizing performance to demonstrate how women can take control of their situation. Race car driver Michele Bumgarner shared her story on how she reached the top of male-dominated field through confidence and determination.

The Fearless Whisper event inspired me to make my very own Fearless Pinays List! Fearless woman is one who breaks the norm and stands up to what she believes in and get what she deserves!

Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago because she said she eats death threats for breakfast (source). And not only that, while still recuperating from cancer (it was reported that 90% of her cancer cells have regressed), she’s working like it was just another ordinary day: (source)

I have managed to discharge my duties as chair of certain Senate committees. In addition, I continue to file bills and resolutions on weekly basis. I have also managed to discharge some speaking obligations, on condition that the event will not last more than two hours, which is my physical limit at this time.

And being you’d think this Senator is all work and no play? She published her very own humor book! A compilation of speeches, one liners and jokes delivered by the Senator.. this is one of my favorite quotes:

“Hindi naman ako mataba eh. In fact, I’m so sexy that it overflows.”

You can’t get any fearless than that!<

Another woman that I admire and should be on my Fearless Pinay list is the mommy blogger behind the Totally Homemade Sweet Treats And Savory Sidekicks, Bebeng:

Watching her grow.. para akong nanay na proud sa isang anak!

I admire her guts and how she made a successful food business from bananas while being a full time mom to Pia (and a full time virtual flirt to her military husband).

(READ>> “It All Began with Bananas”: Denise Rayala of Bebeng’s Kitchen Shares Her Story )

Sharing you her very inspiring quotes on success:

“Success is unreachable for those who make excuses all the time.”

Last on my list is my sister..

It would be her first Christmas away from us. She’s now living in London chasing her dreams. She had to leave the comfort she used to and her son. And I know how hard it was for her but she’s really trying. Her move to leave the country and get out of her comfort zone made her the fearless woman that I admire.. but dearly miss! ahuhu

Share with me your Fearless Pinay List!

**** Through their #Fearless campaign, Whisper encourages women to be part of the new breed of forward-thinking women who challenge the norm and show that nothing can hold them back.Whisper Cottony Long is every young fearless woman’s best friend in her journey to be her fun, fearless self. It gives up to 100% no back leaks encouraging women to stand up with confidence and take control of their lives.

One fearless trivia: In a world where the norm is for a man to pursue a woman, yours truly made a move to pursue the man that I want. It was such a bold move but it was worth it!
