Ascorbic Acid Ceelin For Sati (and the boys)

For a family with 4 kids and a plus one from my sister, kids getting sick is a no, no. Just imagine how it would be if one caught a flu, the others will have it too. For us, a sickness is always times 5 and because of that we give them all the things they need to boost their immune system. And when it comes to protecting the kids, we only trust Ceelin. We have been using it since 2003 (the time that I had my first boy). So I was really glad that we got Ceelin to be on of our sponsor during the Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB. Ceelin as so generous and gave each mom a 500ml bottle of Ceelin. Lucky moms also received a bag with 3 Ceelin 500ml bottles. Talk about protection for a life time.

Ceelin is a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin C. And why does a kid needs Vitamin C?

Vitamin C helps the body’s natural defense against damaging free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen (e.g., respiration, digestion, blood circulation, immune system response, etc.) and after exposure to UV light, cigarette smoke and various pollutants.

Vitamin C forms part of the body’s natural immune system and stimulates the activity of specialized white blood cells which inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin C is also needed for the formation of the protein, collagen. Collagen is important in the formation of bones, teeth, cartilage, and skin and helps promote faster wound healing.

Ceelin syrup comes in 2 flavor, Orange flavor which is for kids ages 2-12 years old and Apple flavor, for kids 1-20 years. It also comes in tablet which is for kids 2-12 years old. Ceelin drops, best for babies below 2 years old comes in Orange flavor.

For a time we have been using the tablet for Chico and Sati since it really is hard to give syrup to them, unlike with my older boys who takes the syrup willingly. But after the EB we asked the two babies to try it again and I was surprised that they love the taste now.. I guess it helps that they are both love orange juice now and giving them Ceelin that i soranged flavor makes them think of their orange juice.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1 Review

As mentioned, the first time I saw the Twilight Saga was only a few months ago.. during the time that Twilight is making a scene on the movie world, I was like lost in my own world. I was never curious of it or it must be because it is everywhere..and I am not a type of person who gives in to a hype that easily.

We had Twilight Saga marathon for two days and waited impatiently for Breaking Dawn..last Saturday, we finally saw Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. So here’s a short review without spoilers, I promise.

Breaking Dawn-Part 1 is the fourth movie installment of the Twilight Saga. This part focused on Edward and Bella’s life as husband and wife and also focuses on Bella’s pregnancy. The main characters involved on this part is Bella, Edward and Jake. Edward’s family is still present and also plays important roles where as Bella’s side where only seen once or thrice.

I already mentioned how I find this movie very sappy but I still liked it and in fact would not mind watching it again. I cannot compare it to the book since I haven’t read any of it yet, but as Ane pointed out, this is by far the closest to the book. I cannot also compare it to the other movies as I have not seen it in cinema unlike this one. So I will just make a review without comparison.

Let’s start it with the characters, I really love how Bella was made of during the movie, her emotions/ state of mind (as well as state of health) can clearly be seen just by looking at her eye bugs er I mean face. Her wedding jitters reaction during the walk in the aisle scene is just perfect. And her gown was done in a very good taste (it was not shown on the trailer so you have to watch the movie to see it).. her send out dress is really sexy and made her look like a lady, a contrast to what she use to wear, jeans and shirt.

Edward, on the other hand, looks a bit out of character in some of the scenes. OK, I am so into Edward’s being an old fashion, seeing him in a very relaxed outfit does not seems right for me. Still, his attitude is still the same, always looking after Bella’s welfare. Jake, hmm there is not much to tell him except that he is looking hotter more than ever.

My favorite scenes comes from their Honeymoon and Jake’s imprinting to Bella’s daughter. Honestly, I cried on that scene, it transcends beyond romance.. the scene is very heartwarming. I also love the part where Edward finally accepted their baby and that scene was worth mentioning, makes them look like a real happy family. There are parts of the movie where I cannot help but laugh, the wedding scene, specially the father of the bride speech is really cool. But even though there are parts that I really like, there is one scene that is worth the cringe, the EJ scene.. that’s like, ewe! hahaha

The soundtrack was not that exceptional since I can’t even remember a song from the movie..and because I am quite a fan of overly dramatic* cinematography, I love how it was filmed. There is not a part of the movie that I find boring, in fact I was surprised when it ends (with Bella opening her red eyes).

Overall, I give this movie a 9.. less 1 because it made me spend my whole Sunday reading about Twilight.

Overly dramatic is how I categorized cinematography that focuses on small details and emotions.
