Barbie Live! The Musical (Meet And Greet)

An early Christmas gift for my little girl! VIP tickets for us for the Barbie Live! The Musical + meet and greet! ayayay!

And as one of my blogger friends put it, if it is not for Barbie (and for the princess of course) we wouldn’t brave MOA.. it was all worth it (even if I spend 800 for taxi fare haha)

The princess before the show starts 🙂

In Barbie Live The Musical, Barbie and her best friend, Teresa stars in a new movie. The show tells the story of Barbie as she helped Teresa overcome her uncertainties for the role assigned to her. Teresa is doubting her talents and to make matters worse, their co star, Raquel is trying to to steal Teresa’s role!

Barbie helped Teresa overcome her self doubt by telling her the stories and values she learned from her past movies; Swan Lake, Mariposa & the Fairy Princess and Princess & the Popstar.

The set was spectacular.. breathtaking! I think I enjoyed the show more than my princess..but there’s this one particular scene where are all the kids screamed in delight:

Jollibee Maaga Ang Pasko Goes Online

I am really glad I brought my two boys along with me during the launching of Jollibee Maaga ang Pasko at SM Marikina. It was perfect timing since it was their last day of exam..also, the day before that, me and my two younger kids went out.. saktong event, para ilabas naman ang mga big boys 🙂

Now on it’s 19th year, Jollibee Maaga ang Pasko has grown to become the country’s biggest and longest running toy and book donation drive. And with the launch of Jollibee Maaga ang Pasko microsite, more and more family, not just around the country but also worldwide can participate in this donation drive and help bring happiness to less fortunate kids this Christmas.

And before I give you a walk through on the microsite, here’s a photo story during the launch at SM Marikina:

Still in line with the GHD celebration, Safeguard introduces the new Safeguard Magic Foamer, designed to make handwashing a fun and memorable experience for children. It is a device that turns Safeguard liquid soap into a form not unlike shaving cream and hair mousse. “With the Magic Foamer, moms won’t need to beg and plead with their children to wash their hands. The soap itself becomes a source of wonder, making handwashing enjoyable for kids,” shares Maro Torres, Brand Manager for Safeguard.
