I had a very busy weekend. I performed in the choir during our Church's Year-end Thanksgiving Worship Services. I accompanied my daughter in her school. While I was waiting for my her, I overheard some mommies talking about the damage that Typhoon Sendong (international code name Washi) has brought to Mindanao. They mentioned about the Ondoy-like flash floods. I confirmed the news when I tuned in to TV Patrol Weekend on Saturday night. There were more than 600 dead bodies and almost a thousand missing. As of the latest news, death toll is more than 900. Many of our kababayans lost their homes and properties, and their loved ones. In times like this, they really need our help, whether in cash or in kind.
Our blogger community called Pinay Mommies Community is rallying for donations to help the victims and their families. We also have fellow bloggers from Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City who were affected with the devastating flash flood. This morning, I sent a small amount via PayPal.
If you want to share some of your blessing to the victims, your can send your cash donations to a legitimate charity which was created by Pinay Mommies Community through Paypal email admin@pinaymommies.com. You can also send your donations to any of the following:
With my present health condition, the doctors have advised me to lose weight through proper diet and exercise. By doing so, painful attacks of my gallbladder problem will be lessened. So, I decided to start a diet program that I have tested to effective. I am talking about the the Nestle Fitness 14-Day Show off your Shape Challenge. I, together with 3 other teammates joined and won the challenge in November 2009. The secret of our victory was a diet plan wherein two meals (breakfast and dinner) were replaced by a bowl of Nestle Fitness Whole Grain cereal with skim or low-fat milk and 1 piece of fruit. Well, work-outs and exercise really helped us achieve the targets, too. I took the advantage of using the Les Mills Body Combat work-out CD which I got for free from Nestle Fitness.
I got another free Les Mills VCD last night. This is the Les Mills Body Jam. Les Mills, the company that developed a series of internationally known group fitness classes and Nestle Fitness breakfast cereals joined together to provide a fantastic combination, that is a great breakfast and a dance workout. Hurray to a healthier lifestyle.
Project Happiness Bakehouse is an online home-based bakeshop owned by blogger mompreneur Iris, located in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines. PH Bakehouse offers customized cakes and pastries. I recently ordered a cake from them for my son's first birthday. It's a customized Angry Bird cake. I am sure PH Bakehouse never fails to make their customers happy with every slice of their yummy cakes.
Pinay Mommies Community (PMC) is a continuously growing community of Filipina moms who share one passion which is blogging. PMC started last January 21, 2008 as a blog post by its founder Ruby aka Pinay Mommy Online, then a domain and directory of its members were setup.A forum was also created but rendered obsolete with the advent of social networking sites, such as Facebook.
PMC hold its first ever grand eyeball (GEB) last April. Some of the moms I know were present at the event. When I saw there photos on Facebook I told them that I really want to be part of the community. That was the time when Mommy Ruby added me to the PMC Group Page. Since then I became more active in the members interaction via Facebook. I am truly grateful to be part of PMC because of the many tips on blogging and online money-making opportunities from the members. PMC inspired me to take my blogging career to a higher level, that's why for the longest time of dreaming of having my own domain, I finally bought one last May 2011. The blog entitled About Makati City is a travel and info blog which I considered as my gift to myself during my birthday last May. :)
After months of planning and organizing, the 2nd Grand EB of PMC was successfully conducted last November 22, 2011 at Aling Tonya's Seafood Restaurant, D. Macapagal Avenue Pasay City.

A total of 48 mommies participated. Some came together with their husbands and kids. Some endured long hours of travel from North and South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Three moms came all the way from US, Canda and Germany. The function room was filled with endless fun and laughter throughout the program.
The event was hosted by the wacky duo, Ning (Shygirlsown) and Cielo (Brownpinay)
Our lunch buffet...lots of sea foods, yay!
The opening prayer was led by Arlene while the welcome remarks was delivered by Divine. After that, Mommy Ruby shared the short history of the Pinay Mommies Community. The event sponsors also gave short messages.

There are times that we run out of funds for tuition fees, for business expansion, home improvement or for emergency purposes? Expenses such as these do require a large amount of money. Your payday check may not be enough and you might need additional funds. There are lots of financing institutions that offers loans but some of them are regarded a loan sharks because of the huge interest rates. Sometimes, they will also give you headache due to burdensome requirements. When these happen, you should look for alternative modes of applying for a loan.
Cash advance is one of the quick solutions to your financing needs. Applying for cash advance online is very simple. Some companies don’t even investigate about your credit history. As long as you have a job, you can get a loan. With the advent of Internet, online transactions become widespread today. For example, you can now apply for instant cash advance loan without leaving your home. Just search for a reputable company and enter your accurate information in their website. After your loan has been confirmed and processed, your money will be deposited in your bank account.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Metro Manila East District's Palaro ng Lahi 2011
Wednesday, November 02, 2011First of all, I want to greet our beloved Brother Eduardo V. Manalo who celebrated his birthday last Monday, October 31, 2011. INC brethren all over the world are united in praying to God to continue bless our Executive Minister.
In line with this, we conducted an one-day sports fest dubbed as "Palaro ng Lahi" at the Marikina Sports Center. Famous Pinoy sports and games that we used to play when we're still young were showcased during the activity. These include Patintero, Palo Sebo, Siato, Dodge Ball, Pinoy Football, Tug of War, and Kite Flying, among others. It was a fun-filled event and served as a venue for family bonding and for meeting new friends, too. As early as 6:30, the whole clan wearing purple shirts (our team color) traveled from Mandaluyong City to the venue.
Here are some photos courtesy of my sis-in-law that show how we enjoyed during the Palaro ng Lahi.

I've been "missing in action" lately due to health problems. Two weeks ago, I had cough and cold. Then, I am suffering from pain in my tummy since Monday. At first I thought it was just another acid reflux attack. To be sure of the real cause of it, I decided to seek medical advice. The doctor instructed me to undergo whole abdomen ultrasound and so I did yesterday. I felt anxious about the findings because according to the results there are multiple stones in my gallbladder and a small myoma in my uterus. I am praying that these gallstones and myoma can be removed naturally. I am afraid of surgery.
With my present health status, I think I am reaping the fruits of my carelessness specially during college days. I am not getting any younger, therefore I have to take care of my health in the best way I can. I have to do this for the sake of my loved ones, too.
I asked my friends who have the same condition. They told me that drinking apple juice can help eliminate gallstones.
My next doctor appointment will be on Thursday... Hugs and prayers for me please.
Due to my hectic schedule and bad weather conditions last month, I caught the flu virus and been coughing for more than a week now. Thanks God, my X-ray result proved that my condition is not leading to pneumonia, as doctor suspected. Aside from cough and colds, my acid reflux is becoming active again. I'm suffering from an upset stomach since Monday and because of this I can't concentrate on my work. I also have several blog backlogs. Aside from that, my creative juice is down to zero that I cannot start the layouts for my son's birthday party invites and banner. :( I have so much to do, but I just can't concentrate. Hope that I'll be okay this coming weekend to focus on preparing for my son's big day.

He has brought a lot of better things in the world through his technological inventions and innovations, from Apple computer in the 1970s to iPad and iPhone today along with myriad of Apple Apps. His name was always mentioned by my professors in technology management courses. Truly he is an icon when it comes to creativity, innovation, management and success.

Few years back (and even until now), my nephew is fond of interchanging the syllables when he's saying something. I have a long list of those words but I'll share the most memorable ones, haha.
Conversation #1: Ang Tampalon, Bow!
Tito R (my husband): BA, napansin mo ba dumaan si Alex?
BA: Opo, naka-tampalon pa nga e.
Gets nyo ba kung ano ang tampalon?
Conversation #2: Restarwan o Candereria???
On the way to jeepney stop, he asked...
BA: Tita, tita, saan ka kumakain pag nasa osipina ka?
Moi: Sa office lang, di ba madalas may baon naman ako.
BA: Ah akala ko sa restarwan o kaya sa candereria.
My sister and I were laughing out loud while walking. We let him pronounce those words properly over and over again, hahaha.
Don't miss the fun, Join us HERE!

Korean Firm Starts Construction of World's Largest Domed Arena in the Philippines
Friday, August 19, 2011As an Iglesia Ni Cristo member, I was overwhelmed by the news that I want to blog it immediately after reading the article.
The Korea Herald reported that Hanwha Engineering and Construction Corporation began the construction of the worlds' largest domed arena in north of Metro Manila, Philippines. The $175 million dollar contract was signed last August 14, 2011, in a ceremony attended by Hanwha E&C officials including Vice Chairman Kim Hyun-Chung and Iglesia Ni Cristo Executive Minister Eduardo V. Manalo.
Hanwha E&C said that the work will be carried out over 30 months to be finished early 2014.

Green Living Monday: Doll House Made up of Recycled Materials
Monday, August 15, 2011
I was organizing the photos stored in my laptop recently and I found this cute photo of my daughter. That was taken two years ago. In that pictures, she is proudly showing her school project in her Nursery - A doll house made up of recycled materials such as card boards, Popsicle sticks, old toys, among others. My sister and I collaborated in "building" that house that amused the little one and her teacher.
This is my entry to:
Due to my hectic offline life, I wasn't able to post an entry for Girls Talk last week. Even though I'm one day late for this week topic, I am making a quick post to share the latest addition in my vocabulary.
I encountered this word sometime in July this year while I am helping my 5 year old daughter in her homework about prisms in Mathematics. Mind you, I even ask her how to pronounce the word. And on the following day, I consulted my friend Google about the meaning of the word (phrase). I don't want to keep you guessing, so here it is:
Reuleaux triangle
(′re′lō ′trī′aŋ·gəl)
(mathematics) A closed plane curve, not actually a triangle, that consists of three arcs, each of which joins two vertices of an equilateral triangle and is part of a circle centered at the remaining vertex.
A Reuleaux triangle is, apart from the trivial case of the circle, the simplest and best known Reuleaux polygon, a curve of constant width. The separation of two parallel lines tangent to the curve is independent of their orientation. The term derives from Franz Reuleaux, a 19th-century German engineer who did pioneering work on ways that machines translate one type of motion into another, although the concept was known before his time.

It's time for Girl's Talk. For this week, the girl will be sharing their best birthday celebration.
So, here's mine. My 18th is my best and most memorable birthday. No grand party happened but I was surprised by my mother and siblings who arrived from our hometown few days before my big day. I was staying in Laguna then, and was busy completing my college entrance requirements. I celebrated my birthday at my Aunt's rented apartment. Mama cooked my favorite Filipino delicacies. I had only very few guests which include my three older siblings, my aunt's family and my brother's co-workers but it was one of my happiest birthdays.
How about you, what's your best birthday??? Care to share, join us here:
