My Fave Tapsilog in Town - Maty's!

  What's your Favorite Meal? I'm not really a picky person when it comes to eating, I can eat street foods, Veggies and Meat provided that it should be clean and I trusted the Cook hehe...when it comes to Veggies, I just do not like the Taste the "Ampalaya" or Bitter Gourd but other than that Anyone can treat me without having any worries if I'm going to like the food or not.

but there's this one Meal that i could eat over and over again...I guess you already know what it is....The Tapsilog Meal! but not just any Tapsilog, I'm referring to the Famous Tapsilog of Parañaque City, The Maty's Tapsilog! I discovered Maty's when they served as one of Food Concessionaire in our Company and after tasting their Meal, I'm definitely hooked!

 Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to any Meal. the shortened term "Tapsilog" for Tapa, Sinangag at Itlog is one of the "Pangmasa" meal here in the Philippines and I'm glad I came across with it...Delicious and Affordable Rolled into one! if you're living within Parañaque and Las Piñas, Perhaps you are Familiar with Maty's Tapsilog Eatery as they also serve other sumptous "log meals" like Bangsilog, Longsilog, Chicksilog, Pansit and so on... I believe they have several branches around Parañaque City so you won't have a hard time looking for them!


Here I took some Photos of Maty's Eatery:

Delicious and Affodable Meals!

Most of the Filipinos loved Beauty Pageants especially The Three Famous such as Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International.

Kid's Field Trip at Ocean's Adventure and Dinosaur's Island

  I Love Kid's School Field Trip because I find it really fun and also serves as a Bonding for me and my Kids. Last January 21, I was finally able to attend the field trip of my kids and took a Notification Leave at my work., The Destination was at Ocean Adventure- Subic Bay, Olongapo and Dinosaur's Island- Mabalacat, Pampanga . My Two Kids were really excited because My Son, Arquin was a fan of Dinosaurs and Nikki loves to travel and wants to see a new scenery.

   It was a 5 hours long Drive away from Las Piñas where we reside and We Left as Early as 4AM but it was not really an exhausting trip because the bus that the school rented was a comfortable one and we were able to sleep for awhile.

Shopping Online is More Fun with Shopback.ph!

   I'm a Big Fan when it comes to Shopping Online, because I Find it Really Cool and I get to avail affordable deals and Promotions minus the Traffic and Stress when I do it in the Malls and Supermarkets. Online Shopping is really Popular Right now and Some of Online Stores Like Lazada offers a Cash on Delivery Payment Options for Those who do not have Credit Cards which make it more convenient for Online Shoppers.

Arquin's Favorite Cartoon Educational TV Shows!

   As much as i wanted to, i don't want my Youngest child - Arquin who is a Four years old in Nursery learning stage to spend his day just by watching cartoons because as all we know, too much watching of television is not healthy for children, but when my hubby called our local cable provider to add another channel, i said Whaaat? but before we started to argue he said that it was an educational cartoon program for Little Children, so i said Let's see what will be the outcome...

as the weeks passes by i noticed a gradual improvement on my Son's English speaking skills, he may not spoken the straight English conversation but i was amazed when he started to speak some of the common English sentences like "i got it!" - well it's normal for me to be puzzled because i was not really teaching him complex English language regularly and i normally leave him weekdays with his Lola who used to speak a native language at our Home so i'm quite impressed, and lately i noticed that he also learns the basic shapes, Basic numbers and some easy logical learning for preschoolers... so to share to you what's this educational TV shows for children, you may check these Channels:

Have a Great Day Ahead!!!

How to be a Good Parent?

           What makes a Good Parent? is it the status of the person in the society or it can be Gauge through the Profession? The Educational Level? Probably not. I Realized that Being a Good Parent for me is the most Challenging Part in my Life, Me and my Husband are not Perfect either.

Want a Discount at Zalora? Use my Code!

 Who Doesn't want a Great Deal when you're shopping? of course we all want it! hehe, Have you tried Online Shopping at Zalora? They offer Fashion Pieces for Men and Women, and you can pick from Personal Care, Makeup, Shoes, Dresses and more... I  recently joined the ZALORA Brand Ambassador Program  that's why i can earn a commission whenever a new customer uses my code upon checkout, and it doesn't have an expiration, isn't that amazing? you can apply as a Zalora Ambassador too if you're Interested... just inquire at their hotline for more information.

Window Shopping at SM Aura Premiere

   Just Recently, My Hubby and I went to Bonifacio Global City, Taguig to do some Important errands there, So i was surprised when i learned that We were going to the Building near SM Aura! so it means, I can hop in easily to this mall! I've been wanting to visit this Place since it's Opening Last 2013,  where Hollywood celebrity Sarah Jessica Parker graced when the mall opened to the Public, She also cut the ribbon for The SM Store, as well as being the endorser for their "Love to Shop" campaign. According to Wikipedia, The SM Aura name is derived from the two elements gold (which has the chemical symbol Au) and radium. According to SM Prime putting them together defines “luxury and elegance that emanates from within.” (nice name origin huh!)

  Well, SM Malls are Common and Famous Shopping mall in the Philippines where it has 50 branches Nationwide, and The SM Aura Branch i think is not an ordinary one...why? first it's situated in a Place where it is surrounded by High Rise Condominium Units and Business Building and Second the Mall Features environmental advantages, also provides a much needed green and communal space in Metro Manila’s dense cityscape.
