40 Things We Love At Shakey’s!

Because Shakey’s will be celebrating their 40th on March 15, I came up with 40 things we love at Shakey’s! Happy 40th Birthday Shakey’s!!!!

1. Trip down memory lane.. 40 years? That’s a lot of years and a lot of memories too! The husband says they usually hang out at Shakey’s because of the live bands (and beers!) as for me, Shakey’s is the first pizza I tasted.. and the taste is still the same! Every bite brings me back to my first Shakey’s experience.

2. Thin Crust Pizza! It’s the only pizza that’s guilt free.. you can eat 3 to 4 slices without thinking about the carbs.. because it’s thin crust!

3. Manager’s Choice Pizza. The IT Pizza.. nothing comes close to that pizza experience while eating a slice (or 4!) of Manager’s Choice Pizza.

4. Shakey’s Giant Pizza! Giant Pizza that can even satisfy my superheroes appetite!

5. Shakey’s Grand Slam Pizza. And we can opt for a smaller one if we’re not on our superhero mode. Shakey’s Grand Slam Pizza is 18 inches.

6. The Chicken. It has a very distinct taste, paired with its gravy, extra rice please!

7. And the Mojos too!

8. Shakey’s Carbonora… our favorite pasta from Shakey’s. It’s creamy and generous on the ingredients (mushroom and bacon). It’s delicious and comforting, hot or cold, Shakey’s carbonara is the best. Argh! Now I am craving for a platter!

9. Buffalo Wings and the sauce. A recent discovery. We usually order Chicken but from a Shakey’s event I attended, I got the chance to taste their buffalo wings… the next thing I knew, my kids can’t get enough of it! As for me, I fell in love with the sauce. Yum! Yum! Yum!

10. Salad, because they use my favorite salad vegetables, romaine lettuce.

11. Wings ´N Rings combo. It’s the perfect movie time finger food (even better than popcorn! haha)

13. Garlic bread.. Sati loves garlic bread and either we give her our share or we have to order another basket.

14. Ice cream or anything on their dessert menu.

15. Bunch of lunch Wholesome Combo. When I’m alone and and still want to eat at Shakey’s, this combo is the answer. Bunch of lunch combo includes Chicken, Spaghetti, Garlic Bread, a slice of Hawaiian Delight Hand-Tossed Pizza and Mojos for only 188 PhP.

16. Monster Meal Deal. Perfect meryenda package when we have company.. like when my oldest son brings half of his classroom at home (or when we have a simple birthday party). Monster Meal Deal includes 2 Large crisp brick-oven-baked pizza: Manager`s Choice and Pepperoni Thin Crust; 2 platters of rich and flavourful pasta: Classic Spaghetti & Carbonara Supreme; 1 awesome twosome 12 pieces Chicken `n` mojos Party Pack; 3 Pitchers of ice cold Coke. Price: PHP 2,583.00

17. Grand Slammin’ Deal is another favorite, specially when we’re craving for different pizza flavor. This deal includes 18´´ Grand Slam Pizza w/ 4 flavors, Mojos Supreme, 7pcs. Chicken, 2 1.5L of coke. Price: PHP 1,700.00

18. Interiors. One reason why we love dinning at Shakey’s is their interiors. You can enjoy eating without thinking if you’re on the way of another customer. They planned their sitting very well.

19. Parking Space. and if the interior is good, well their exterior is the same specially the parking area. If you have noticed, Shakey’s restaurant has an ample parking space.

20. Branches. With over 100++ branches, we can always have our favorite pizza and buffalo wings (and carbonara and so on) wherever we go. They have branch in Cabanatuan City, in Baguio, in La Union and in Tagaytay. These are the places that we visit often.

21. Function rooms for parties.

22. Shakey’s Party Packages. Food packages for 2000+ PhP for 10 persons (includes pizza, pasta, chicken and drinks) and kiddie package meal for as low as 160 PhP. Shakey’s Party Package is one of the cheapest and most sulit package for a party!

23. Shakey’s Party Themes. The last time I checked they have Justice League Party theme but you’ll never know, they might add something new this year as they celebrate their 40th!

24. Buffet Set up on party. This is the most practical set up for me. I do not like the idea of giving each table plated meal as not everyone can consume the same amount of food. With buffet set up, guests can get another servingfreely (or less if on diet.. does this word exist with Shakey’s? NO!).

25. Shakey’s Fun Zone. And this I only got to know during the Justice League Party event we attended. Although not all branches have Fun Zone, some branches will do for a while.

26. Free coins on party. If I am not mistaken, when you book a party on a branch with Fun Zone (and order a giant pizza) you’ll get free Fun Zone coins! Hurrah for more play time!

27. Shakey’s friendly crews.. need I say more?

28. Bar. If some branches have fun zone, some branches have a bar. Katipunan branch has it all. Shakey’s bar offers beer and liquors (I only got to know during the round table discussion we attended).. It makes me think of a Friday date night with the husband.. obviously, without the kids.

29. Shakey’s Easy To Remember Delivery Number: 77-777

30. Order Online. And because we don’t have a landline phone, online ordering is my best friend.

31. Shakey’s Mobile App. I once tried ordering online from my mobile phone through their website.. it was such a hassle.. now I am really thankful for the new mobile app. Ordering is easy and the interface is friendly. Shakey’s Mobile App is available for Android and iOS.

32. Paypal Option. Now this is the best part of Shakey’s Online Ordering.. they accept PAYPAL!!!! woohooo All online workers unite!

33. Send a Shakey’s. And another online ordering feature that we love. We can send some love to our family in Nueva Ecija through this!

34. Shakey’s Delivery Policy: If it’s LATE, It’s FREE!

35. SHAKEY’S PIZZANATIC SUPERCARD. It’s more than just a loyalty card and discount card. Loyalty card gives you points, discount card gives you discounts… Shakey’s Supercard gives us FREE PIZZA! The Shakey´s Pizzanatic SuperCard costs Php 299 only.

36. They invite us to their events. I can’t deny it.. it makes us feel closer to Shakey’s. And their events are fun and food is overflowing.

37. Shakey’s Countdown to 40 Scratch Card Promo (and other past promo). It makes us feel that they really give back to us, their costumers. The Countdown to 40 scratch promo is in celebration of their 40th anniversary. This is only until March 15, 2015 so hurry! Every 1 to 40 purchase entitles the guests a scratch card (cool gadgets at stake!)

38. Shakey’s 1 to 40 is another promo in line with their anniversary. Our fave 1 to 40 combo is Manager’s Choice pizza + Carbonara + Buffalo wings + ice cream! What’s yours?

Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash Review

When I tried the Pantene 3 Minute Miracle, I saw the results immediately (Related Post: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner Review). When I received a Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash sample, I was hesitant to try it. For one, my OCD won’t let me interrupt my Korean skin care routine (related post: 10 Things You Need To Know About The 10 Steps Korean Skincare Routine). Another thing, takot ako sa dry skin! I am just afraid that it will dry up my skin to the point of breaking ala lupa sa bukirin na sampung taong walang irigasyon. Lastly, it will take some time before I can come up with a truthful review. TIME. big word.

So what made me try it finally? Ang kulit ni Sati eh! Ang dami ko daw red dots! >> ma issue ang bata!

Safeguard Derma Sense promises to:

help provide noticeable acne reduction
helps remove acne causing germs and excess oil

I have been using it for more than two weeks already and though my face is still not acne free, I noticed that when an acne appears it dries out easily. I also noticed that acne appearance is lesser. Unlike before, when it usually appears in 3, ngayon solo kayod na lang siya!

Photo timeline: one week. left is before, right is after

Dryness test. It can be drying.. but not the kind of dryness I am expecting. Most facial wash would dry up a 30ish face naman so it didn’t bothered me at all. I suggest that you use a moisturizer after using it. As for me, I just replaced my wash with Safeguard Derma Sense from my routine. I will continue to use it as long as I can see that my acne’s becoming lesser (and smaller) as the day goes by.

Here’s what I do not like about Safeguard Derma Sense, the consistency of the wash is too watery. I always end up with soap on my mouth (eh ang panget ng lasa). The smell is strong too. If it is for body only, the smell is OK but for the face where the nose is, aah it can be overwhelming. I wish they have a facial wash version of Safeguard Derma Sense, since it usually has thicker consistency.

Ay Wait! While checking Safeguard Philippines Facebook Page, meron na palang facial wash:

Naguluhan ako bigla sa bagong kaalaman.. nawala lahat ng nasa isip kong dapat kong isulat.. inhale.. exhale.. inhale..exhale..

Ay wala na talaga! Ayaw na nila bumalik!

To end this review, ang tanong, Do I recommend Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash? YES! Use it on your back or chest where acne also appears but for the face, I suggest let’s give the Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser a try.

Have you tried this product? Tell us your experience with it!

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
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
