Congratulations to The New Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach!

   it is Indeed a Merry Merry Christmas 2015 Here in the Philippines, and I can't Help but to share my thoughts about the Controversial Recent Coronation of the Miss Universe 2015 held at Las Vegas, USA.

The Long Wait is Over for the Filipinos because after 42 years Pia Wurtzbach finally Bag the Crown! The successor of 1973 Miss Universe Margie Moran. The 26 Years Old Filipina Beauty from Cagayan De Oro is an Actress, Model, and a Beauty & Lifestyle Writer at the Philippines, She Absolutely Nailed it During the Preliminaries, Swimsuit, Gown and The Question & Answer Portion of The Prestigious Pageant.

Comedian Host Steve Harvey Unintentionally Announced the Wrong Winner, Miss Colombia - Ariadna Gutierrez as The Miss Universe 2015, but after 4 Minutes He Came Back at the Stage and Apologized to the Audience Announcing The Miss Philippines as the Real Winner, of course this Immediately Created an Instant Buzz all over the World! This Horrible Mistake as Admitted by the Pageant Host has made a Mixed Reactions around the world especially to the Social Media, Some are Enraged and Some are Really Surprised and Happy by the Outcome of the Pageant..

But to be Fair to Miss Colombia - She is a Total Package of a Beautiful Woman, Her Statuesque, Her Charm, She was Humiliated in front of Thousands of people when The Crown was Removed in her Head and announcing her as the 1st Runner Up... But a Mistake is a Mistake maybe the Host didn't read Clearly the Final Card, It is Indeed Clear that Miss Philippines Exceled in all the Pageant Portion adding the Online Voting around the World..  Miss Philippines Exudes a Classy and Elegant Charm with a Humble attitude Towards the Coronation, A True Queen, Confidently Beautiful with a Heart as she said in the Final Q & A.

Miss USA -2nd Runner Up - Ms. Olivia Jordan is also a Stunner - I love her Bubbly Personality! she has this Beauty charm that anyone will surely love...

Miss Universe 2015 during the Presscon...

First Time of the Miss Universe Pageant to announce a Wrong Winner but the good thing Steve Harvey Corrected it before the Live Telecast was Cut off!  Pia Wurtzbach missed Her "Unforgettable" Momentum during the Crowning, but the Nonetheless, Filipinos are Really Happy for this Victory, The New Miss Universe 2015 has a Message to her fans from her Instagram Account to Stop Fighting Over The Crowning Issues, so Let's Agree with that, Spread Love and Stop the Hate about her and Miss Colombia, For those the Haters, We Have to Move On and Accept the Reality, Miss Colombia is Right Because Everything Happens for a Reason. Again, Thank you Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach!

Are You A Chocolate Lover?

   I Love Chocolates, I Really Do (hehe!) that's why I'm a Chubby Mommy! but seriously, I only ate chocolates when I'm PMS-ing or while having my Heavy Monthly Period and if i'm on a Busy activity the whole day. You Know any women can relate to this, that when you're having your period, you suddenly feel that you want to eat and munch as much as you want!

Blame it on our Changing Hormones;). I once heard at the Radio that Chocolates are not that really fattening, Only! If you eat it in Moderation...(aaww!)

Every Woman is Special and when you said special, what comes in my mind is the word "Pampered", "Important", "Loved", this is what i felt when i attended my very first BDJ Box Social Global Glam event held at Glorietta Activity Center Last September 13, it is a Beauty Event for Women wherein you can Learn a Lot about Beauty Stuff that will give you Knowledge and Be Aware of your Beauty Habits, and since it's my first time to join this event, i was really amazed and Happy when i saw a lot of Booths for Lucky Bellas to join and avail of makeup and skincare promos and Most Important is the 2 Beauty Talks that i Attended to (I chose the Get in the Know with BDJ Box Beauty Ministry & Get the Look of Love with Revlon Talks) before you can attend, you must Pre-Register First beforehand the Activity at I Love BDJ Website it's Free to Register and there are Two Talks to choose from whatever you like.

My New Eyeglass from Quiapo!

One of my Favorite Places in Manila is Quiapo.. why? simply because I get to see a lot of Unique Merchandise and also i rarely visit the historical Quiapo church. so last month i ask my hubby to accompany me to Paterno St. at Quiapo because i wanted to have a New Eyeglass, for those who do not know about Paterno St. it's a Place where you can check a lot as in A LOT of Eyeglasses, sunglasses, Lenses, Contact Lens Solutions etc. everything about your Eye Accessories will Probably seen here for a very Affordable Price! I've been to Quiapo for many times but it was my first time to check and purchase a Glasses here...Paterno St. is Literally Packed with Eyeglass Stores everywhere, They Sell Branded to Class A Products, You can choose if you want to go to an Airconditioned store or not, it's up to you! but I think you can get Better Quality glasses to the airconditioned one. i did not raid a lot of stores as because it's Pretty Hot when we arrive, it was a Saturday Noon and there's a Lot of Buyers at that time...

before we got here, i already researched on the net what eyeglass store should i check and i picked the RESHMA Store - it's not an airconditioned one, but i'm not after the Brand, Class A Glasses is OK for me as long as the Glasses would give a comfort that my eye needs...     

I Picked this Class A Maroon-Red, Plastic Cat-eye Frame with Multicoated Lens that i can use Outdoors for PHP 1,700.00 pesos, They Have my Eye Grade Checked to their Nearby Partner store with no Extra Charge, you just have to wait for at least 1 Hour for them to Prepare your Order..

Me while wearing the Glasses, I'm Using it for about a Month Now.. and i think It's Good you just have to care for it.

So What Do you Think about my new Eyeglasses? Did I Scored a Great Deal? Comment down Below, I would love to hear it from you;)

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:

The Metro Wide Earthquake Drill!!!

 The Big One, The Massive Earthquake in Manila, you probably heard or read about this warning from News Stations and from Local Governments spreading the informations to start preparing for the feared Magnitude 7.2 earthquake that might happen not only in Manila but in Nearby areas such as Muntinlupa, Quezon City, etc. it could happen anytime according to the authorities, we never know, Earthquake is deemed unpredictable but anyone can prepare.


it is said that West Valley Fault movement is due for its movement and the feared earthquake may strike any time.

Just Imagining its aftermath is already a horror in my mind just like what happened in Nepal's Deadly Earthquake last April 2015 where many Precious lives are lost and many families suffered. it is true we cannot control it because it was an act of nature, a natural disaster so aside from Praying to God it is everyone's responsibility to prepare for this serious matter. The Local Authorities has Informed People to Have a Survival Kit wherein it contains such essentials that we will need in times of disaster like water, ready made food, extra clothing etc., Have the Emergency Call Hotlines must be at reach anytime.

July is a Nutrition Month!

   July is here again... I must be excited because it's my Birth Month, but other than that I'm excited to write about the importance of Nutrition Promotion this Month. The 2015 Philippine Nutrition Month campaign, “Timbang iwasto sa tamang nutrisyon at ehersisyo,” (Correct weight through right nutrition and exercise) aims to make people aware about how they can prevent Obesity. This will be done by providing them with adequate information. Most People Nowadays Lives in a Sedentary Lifestyle which is too bad! & the Foods - ugh, It's yummy but not healthy anymore, it's really a matter of choices and decisions when you really want a Healthy Lifestyle.

Amazon Canada Haul!!!!!

Disclaimer: I was not paid to advertise Amazon Canada's Website, All statements was based on my own & honest opinion.

I am always been a Fan of Online Shopping simply because I find Great Deals that i couldn't get at the local Department stores, the comfort while waiting my purchases to arrive at home & most of all the i did save my precious time! Recently I Had Ordered some Items that i Spotted at Amazon Canada Website and because I have siblings who resides there so the shipping Address was not a Problem for me, My purchases was really a Girly Items since i love Makeup Brushes!

#FGR15 at Singapore

   There's a saying that "Once an opportunity has passed, it cannot be caught"... when my sister introduced me to her networking business two years ago, i'm a little bit skeptical, simply because i do not have an idea about MLM marketing or Networking business Blah, but having an open mind attitude i know that she will not offer me a thing that will give me harm in any means, i have known her as a Goal setter person that's why she didn't had a hard time suggesting me to join her business..


I have known Forever Living quite sometime now as a Leader in Producing Aloe Vera Based Health & Skincare Products and for 37 years that it has been around in the Health & Wellness Industry, I wonder why didn't anyone offered me this business before? I just wish i started this business when i was still 20 years old or 25! (huh, now you have an idea about my age ;)  but i still believe that it's better late than never... why am i saying this? because i just discovered that Forever Living Business offers a lot of amazing perks more than any other networking company can offer & the Aloe Vera Products are really Exceptional!

Believe in Yourself

    When i was a Kid, i remember that i was extremely shy when i am interacting with other people, maybe my mom who raised us at that time is at the adjustment mode because my father had just died from an accident few years ago, that's why she didn't take time to motivate me to mingle around, i have no bad feelings about my mother, instead i love her so much more now... i was a very understanding child then... my mom had a high expectations from me on academic and socializing aspect, and i think i disappointed my mother for not being a "smart" and "sociable" child just like her when she was just a student in their province wherein she got the valedictorian award in their elementary class and i am proud of her achievements but what the heck, i cannot push myself  to be as smart like her and worst, my timid personality continued until my high school days,

How to be a Good Parent?

Today, I am going to share the Health benefits and Uses of Aloe Vera, I remember when i was in my younger age, i used to buy a sachet of Aloe Vera shampoo because i love how it smells and thickens my Hair just after using it for a few days, I've been a Fan of this Plant eversince! I am not a Doctor, but let me tell you that this plant works wonder to to Humans that's why it is called a "Miracle Plant" because of its Healing Properties. Aloe isn't a Medicine But it Cures! if you are going to use Aloe Vera for both Topical and Oral Applications, I always recommend to Consult your Doctor beforehand.

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.
