Army Navy

After I accompany my son in his classroom, I always stay in the waiting area till his dismissal. This is my usual routine since last year, honestly waiting for 3 hours is no joke but I was glad that I met other moms because killing time is not a problem anymore.

Most of the times, we stay in the waiting area but there are times that we go to the nearby supermarket, do our grocery, buy school supplies if there’s any project, and pay bills. Once in a blue moon we eat our just like last Friday, we went to Army Navy. I told them that I’ll just stay in the school because I don’t eat burger and burritos but they still convinced me to join them. FYI, the only burger that I order and eat is bacon mushroom melt of Wendy’s.

It was my first time in Army Navy and as expected I don’t know what to eat so I just ordered Freedom Fries P75. You have to place your order and pick up your food. My mommy friends ordered burritos, burger, chicken and fries too.

Seasoned, thin-cut, crispy, zesty fries.

They all enjoyed their ordered but my verdict for the fries is “just ok”. I still prefer thick-cut fries.

Pasalubong from Tuguegarao

I’ve meaning to visit Tuguegarao for the longest time because I wanted to see the famous Callao Cave. Last Monday was my chance to go to Tuguegarao because my husband had a business trip there but unfortunately, we could not join him because I need to rest and my son needs to go to school.

I hope there will be next time. Anyway, when he asked me kung ano gusto ko pasalubong? I said none, just be home safe and sound. Honestly, I don’t know any specialties in Tuguegarao except for Pansit Batil-Patong but since I’ve read mixed reviews about this pansit, I did not ask for it.

I was not expecting for any pasalubong but he brought some Chicha-rabao and Carabao milk candy. I brought this chicharon in school and let my mommy friends in school to taste it, then nung marami na nakakain, I asked them “masarap?” They said yes and I told him “Carabao Chips yan”. They were all shocked, some stopped eating the chips. Hehehe! I haven’t tasted the milk candy so I’m not sure if it is good.

CHAMPS Vitamins

I kept on telling that health is wealth so I really make sure that my son is healthy and strong. Actually, my son’s pedia doesn’t believe in taking vitamins so he never prescribes any vitamins but of course as a mom, I know that my son needs vitamins and minerals so I prescribed my own food supplement. =) I’ve made my own research and asked other mom’s recommendation. As of now my son is drinking two vitamins every day.

A month ago I received a lunch invitation “CHAMPS Day” but unfortunately I couldn’t attend the event. As I always say, mommy duties first before blogging activities. But CCMIP is generous enough to send CHAMPS Vitamins.

“CCMIP or Chemical Company of Malaysia International Philippines, Inc. is the largest generic company in Malaysia. It has four big manufacturing plants in Malaysia that have been recognized by local and international bodies for its good manufacturing practices. They offer medications that are effective at an affordable price.”

CHAMPS is a chewable multivitamin preparations for children ages 1-6 years old and adult too. It comes in various shapes and tasty flavors. I do remember that I’ve tried Flintstones chewable tablets when I was young.

There are Five CHAMPS Chewable Vitamins

1. CHAMPS C Chewable Tablet

-Contains 100mg vitamin C, 50mg in calcium ascorbate, 50mg in sodium ascorbate.

-Natural orange flavor

-Shaped heart.

-Protection against illnesses

-P108 for 30 tablets

2. CHAMPS M Chewable Dietary

-Contains vitamin C plus 9 essential dietary nutrients.

-Natural pineapple flavor

-Triangle shaped

-Promotes general health.

-P180 for 30 tablets

3. CHAMPS Multivitamins + Lysine

-Contains lysine 50mg, folic acid, 9 essential multivitamins, vitamin C 50mg

-Orange flavor

-Donut Shaped

-Boosts Appetite

-P252 for 30 tablets

4. CHAMPS Omega-3 Plus

-Contains 9 essential dietary nutrients as vitamin C and B- complexes plus omega-3

-P252 for 30 tablets

5. CHAMPS C + Lysine

-Contains vitamin C and lysine

-Tutti-Fruitti flavor

-Donut Shaped

-Enhances appetite during sickness for fast recovery.

-P135 for 30 tablets

I’ve tried the CHAMPS Omega Plus first to check the taste. It passed my taste so I let my son tried it too and he enjoyed it. After trying the heart shaped vitamins, my son wanted to try the four remaining flavors but of course I said no, one tablet per day. Now, I agree that CHAMPS vitamins have good flavors and it really suit the taste of children.

Three Events Perfect for Private Dining

Whether you’re planning a weekend work conference or a wedding, everyone needs to eat. Because planning expensive dinners can be expensive, one great way to hand over responsibility is to reserve private dining services.

Private dining ensures your location, décor, and menu will all be ready when you and your party come to dine. Here are three events perfect for hiring Boston private dining.

1. A Corporate Conference

A corporate conference in a new city can get expensive and complicated to plan. Take away some of your stress by hiring private dining services. This will allow your employees and colleagues to enjoy the experience of a weekend away with cocktails and an impressive selection of main courses.

Your hotel may even provide private dining services. Check with the in-house restaurant to be sure.

2. A Wedding

Many people hire caterers for their big day, but if you can afford the expense, get your wedding party together for a private dining experience.

By hiring private dining services, you don’t need to worry about decorations, music, or renting out a fancy location—it all comes with the package. You’ll have waiters and pre-arranged menus that you can choose to reflect your wedding theme and all your guests’ dietary needs.

3. A Big Anniversary

If your parents are reaching their 50th anniversary, this is not only a celebration for them, but for the whole family—maybe even friends. If your loved ones are reaching a momentous anniversary, celebrate the occasion the right way with private dining.

Private dining gives you a location and a menu for your party to reminisce and celebrate the past. Some locations may even have audio-visual equipment available so you can create a slideshow to watch while eating dinner. You can even hire a private band to play while you enjoy the occasion.

Hiring Private Dining

Unless you have friends or family able to give you advice, the best place to start is by researching options online. Make a list of local dining options and compare each one by pricing, availability, services, and menu. You’ll also want to consider your guests’ dietary restrictions when considering what your potential private dining provider offers.

If you do a little extra research in hiring Boston private dining, the hard work is sure to pay off. Your event will be a success, and your guests are sure to be impressed.

Acute Gastritis

I was diagnosed of acute gastritis last Friday. The doctor asked few questions and pressed my stomach to check where the pain is coming from. He advised me to undergo some lab tests. After five hours, he prescribed medicine for 5 days and I was released in the hospital. He did not give me any information so I did my research and here’s what I found.

Acute Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. It is often result of bacteria that also cause stomach ulcers but it can also because of alcohol, pain relievers, or injury.

Signs and Symptoms are:

*burning ache in upper abdomen.

*nausea

*vomiting

*a feeling of fullness in upper abdomen.

But most of the times it doesn’t cause signs and symptoms.

Factors that increase gastritis are:

*bacterial infection

*regular use of pain relievers

*older age

*excessive alcohol use

*stress

*bile reflux disease

*own body attacking cells in the stomach

*other diseases and conditions

In my case, stress is the cause of my gastritis. If gastritis is left untreated, it will lead to stomach bleeding, stomach ulcers or stomach cancer.

Home Remedies

*Eat smaller and more frequent meals.

*Avoid eating spicy, acidic, fried or fatty foods.

*Drink alcohol in moderation

*Switch pain relievers

*Manage stress.

I was reading the foods to avoid and I feel that I would die of starvation because almost all my favorites are listed there such as meat, fast food, dairy products, cakes and pastries, ice cream, lemon and many more. #waah!

Health is Wealth

It seems that 2013 is not a good year for me with regard to my health because since January I’ve been a regular visitor of the hospital due to psoriasis, UTI and last Friday, I was back again because of acute gastritis.

Last Thursday, I know something is wrong with me because I can feel pain in my stomach but still I accompanied my son to tutoring class and school and finished my household chores. After dinner, my stomach pain was more intense and my husband was convincing me to go to the hospital. But I refused because I don’t want to go back to the hospital again. I took Mallox thinking that it was just hyperacidity and I tried to sleep.

The following morning, I can still feel pain but I was still in denial and thinking that it was just a stomachache or diarrhea. So my husband left for work and I was doing my normal routine like blogging. After 1- 2 hours, I can no longer tolerate the pain, I was literally crying in pain and I called my husband asking if he can go home. I know that he has a presentation that day so I wasn’t really sure if he can come home but I was glad that he went home.

We went to Asian Hospital E.R. immediately. Even they gave me pain reliever I can still feel pain so I undergo liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas and spleen sonogram just to check if I have stones. I was so nervous because I don’t want to undergo any surgery but thank God, no stones and everything is normal.

I thought I would stay in the hospital but they finally released me after 5 hours. I took rest for two days, feeling donya lang because I just eat, sleep and using iPad. My husband was in charge of household chores and tutoring.

Now, I realized that health is a real wealth and I should take care of myself because when I’m sick everybody is affected, my husband has no choice but to leave the office and my son has no choice but to be absent in school. We stopped the tutoring class so we won’t be stress every morning. We now have enough time to eat two meals, early breakfast, and brunch before 10:30. Unlike before we only eat brunch. Anyway, the only reason why I enrolled him in tutor class because he has no summer activity last May.

Three Food Catering Tips for the Perfect Office Party

Unless you’re blowing the budget on a corporate retreat, the food is likely going to be the centerpiece of your next office party. Whether you’re planning a working dinner or a friendly summer barbeque, you want to make sure you get the food right. Hiring professional food catering in Eugene is one way to do that.

If you’ve never worked with professional caterers before, follow these three tips to ensure your next office event is a successful one.

1.Plan Quality Portions

The first thing to decide is how much food you’ll be ordering. To do that, you’ll have to consider the likely size of individual portions.” Because most office parties are a “thank you” to employees or customers, you’ll want to be generous with portions.

For example, if you’re serving meat as a main course, plan on one-quarter to one-thirds pound per person. If you’ll also include hors d’oeuvres, anticipate that people will sample between four and six per person.

Follow similar portion sizes for vegetarian or gluten-free options.

2.Consider Desserts

If you’re having a full-course dinner, don’t skimp on dessert. This is especially true if you’re planning a Christmas party, which traditionally relies on rich dessert options ranging from sugar cookies to mince pies.

Even if you aren’t throwing a Christmas party, desserts are always welcome. If you’re throwing a themed party, this is another great chance to shine. For example, Mexican food can be complemented with flan, fried ice cream, and churros.

3.Tip Accordingly

Of course, your employees aren’t the only people you should be considering. You’ll also want to behave right to your caterer. Do so by leaving an appropriate tip.

Generally, you should tip about $1 per mile for a delivery fee. This is especially true considering modern gas prices. If your caterer delivered an especially large order requiring multiple trips, tip as high as 15 or 20 percent of the food’s cost.

Finding Quality Catering Services

Talk with your office manager about past caterers, or ask for recommendations from friends or family. If you have a favorite restaurant, ask if they do catering. If any of these options fail to produce results, seek out local listings for food catering in Eugene online.

With the proper care and attention, you’ll ensure your next office party is a success and that you, your employees, and your caterer will walk away satisfied.

Three Reasons Why You Should Hire a Catering Company

Putting on a party is an overwhelming experience. There are so many things to think about. You have to decorate, make invitations, and plan entertainment. With all that on your mind, the last thing that you want to think about is the food. If you have a big event coming up, consider Columbus catering. Here are three reasons why you should turn the food over to the professionals.

They Know How to Keep Food Safe

Did you know that it only takes meat two hours to spoil if left at the wrong temperature? If you don’t want to walk around your big event with a food thermometer, then you should leave it up to the professionals. Caterers have all kinds of ways to keep food safe. They have heated pans to keep food warm and dishes that are made to keep food cool. It could be a huge expense for you to purchase all of the equipment that you need to keep the food safe. If you consider how much it would cost to buy everything a caterer uses, then you probably could hire a caterer three times before you actually paid for all the equipment.

They Gauge the Right Amount of Food

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to feed a crowd of 100 people? It seems like a huge amount of food. A caterer is trained to know how much food is required to feed a large group of people. You know up front how much the food will cost, and you know that everyone will get their fill. That’s worth the extra money that you would pay for a caterer.

Peace of Mind

Social gatherings like weddings, graduations, and birthdays are wonderful events to sit and visit and be with loved ones. If you are providing food for an event, it can be very difficult to be stuck inside a kitchen when you could be reminiscing with friends. Why not let someone else take care of the food so that you can concentrate on enjoying the event?

If you have a big event coming up, hiring a Columbus catering company can give you safer food and the proper amount of food as well. When all is said and done, it’s the peace of mind that you will feel as you can spend time with friends and family that makes catering worth every penny.

How to Choose the Right Catering Options

If you are planning a party or special event, then quality catering in Fort Worth can help relieve you of a great deal of stress. By carefully choosing the right catering services, you can help make your event truly memorable for you and your guests. Consider the following when you are searching for the right catering options:

• How much service do you need? Some catering companies offer complete service, including setup, cleanup, and table service. Other caterers offer take out or delivery services if you only need food and nothing more. Once you know what you need, you can find the right catering services or package for your event.

• What is your budget? This is the most important consideration. Let your catering company of choice know what your budget is upfront so that they can inform you of which options are available to you.

• How large will your party be? This will help you better determine how much food you need.

• What type of food service options would work for your party? For instance, you can choose from sit-down dining, buffet, barbeque, and more dining options.

• Do you have a particular theme or event style in mind? If you want to stick to a theme, let your caterer know. They can usually accommodate the theme and formality of the event.

• Do you have any vegetarians or picky eaters in your party? Choosing the ideal menu can take some time and it is important that you know if any of your guests have special dietary needs or allergies. Many caterers also offer vegetarian, vegan, and other specialized menu options for picky eaters. Offering meatless options can usually appeal to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

• Do you need rental options? If you need tables, chairs, silverware, linen, etc., let your caterer know. Oftentimes, they can provide affordable, convenient rental options to save you time, money, and frustration.

Most importantly, make sure to choose catering in Fort Worth that offers personalized service. This will ensure that they can meet your expectations.

Achieve Your Once in a Lifetime Fishing Experience

There are some things in life that are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You hope that getting married is one of those, becoming a parent for the first time, achieving a goal or dream, and having that fun experience that you never thought you would be able to have. Those experiences vary widely from person to person; if the once-in-a-lifetime experience happens to be catching that big, elusive fish, then you need to go big or go home by going Kona fishing.

Choose Hawaii

Why choose fishing in Hawaii? Why not? It is Hawaii for Pete’s sake! Besides the fact that you would be enjoying a tropical paradise, some of the best fishing is found around the islands of Hawaii. Just like the people know where to find paradise, the fish do as well. Some of the fish you can find off the coast of Kona include the following:

• Marlin

• Tuna

• Mahi Mahi

• Ono

• Ahi

• Spearfish

• Aku

• Tombo

• Many more

Just the Facts

Although you can get caught up in the excitement of the paradise islands, the perfect weather, and the sheer joy of Kona fishing, you must think logically about the whole experience. You need to get an idea of what this once-in-a-lifetime experience is going to cost. How many bones do you need to save up? You will be saving up too because this is on your bucket list. From your research, you have learned what a reasonable price is for a fishing experience in Hawaii. The charters are usually broken up into a full day, three-quarter day, and half-day. A fair price for a full day would run you around $950. A fair price for a three-quarter day would be about $750. Finally, a fair price for a half-day would cost you about $550. Keep in mind the fact that you can probably find something cheaper, but it may cost you the captain’s experience, a hoopty boat, and a disappointing fishing trip. If you go with a reasonable, well-established charter company, your dreams of catching the big one will most likely be realized.

Goodbye Google Reader

Last March 13, 2013 Google announce that they will have spring cleaning and starting July 1, 2013 no more Google Reader.

“We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites.

Grateful

After so many months of waiting, I felt so relieved last Friday. My husband took RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) exam last June 21 and he passed it. We’re so thankful to God for giving him wisdom because I know that the exam was not easy. FYI: As of now, there are only 5 persons (including my hubby) in the Philippines who have this title. (insert yabang here). I’m just a proud wife.

Honestly, I was so nervous last Friday and I was praying hard that he will pass the exam. I have faith in my husband’s capacity but of course I’m the type of person na laging may “what if”. What if hindi pumasa, I don’t know how I will comfort him because I witnessed his effort while working and reviewing for RCDD exam. He always wakes up early so he can study before going to work and study again after work. Even on weekends, he stays in our living room para tahimik daw, maingay kasi kami mag-aral mag-ina. Hehehe! #di siya makaconcentrate.

There are times that I will say to him na “You’re so near, yet so far”. Kasi nga kahit kasama naman siya, busy siya sa pagreview. That is why I’m grateful that he passed the exam, tapos na ang busy-busyhan niya. He now has time for us. So we went to Tagaytay last Sunday, he visited Our Lady of Lourdes Church again to give thanks. He always drop buy in Candle Chapel.

Then we went to Max’s Tagaytay for merienda before going home. We avail the affordable max’s merienda mixes again but this time iba na yung nasa menu.

First Week of School

At last first week of school was over and I could take a rest this weekend. My body is still adjusting with our schedules, tutor + school + household chores + blogging. I know this week has been very busy and stressful but I’m not complaining because I know in time I could adjust.

Back to my normal routine, I was waiting in school again because I can’t entrust my son in school service alone and I don’t want to go home because I’m saving my fare. #paranoidandkuripot.

I was reunited with my mommy friends in school and we had nonstop chatting about summer vacation. Most of our kids took swimming lessons, one kid enrolled in karate lesson and one kid took piano lesson. I guess piano lesson is the least summer activity that I will enroll Ethan because I couldn’t even afford cheap yamaha dgx 640 at WWBW. Admit it, piano is so expensive plus you have to pay extra for the recital and the venue is in Alabang Country Club #social.

One kid still continues his swimming lesson and my mommy friend is convincing me to enroll my son too because the swimming class is every Saturday only. I love the idea but I don’t want to stress Ethan so much and I have to check my budget first.

Today is Friday and time for the assignment.

Personalized Koozies

If you have been reading my other blog which is Michi’s Home Sweet Home, you are aware that I love DIY (Do It Yourself) stuff. It is something that I do to save money or to add a personal touch in anything that I do or give.

But if there is something that I want and I know that I cannot do it on my own I always hire company or services that personalized things at an affordable price just like my wedding souvenirs.

As of now, I’m searching for ideas for my son’s 5^th birthday. I know that it is still three months away but it is really my habit to plan in advance. My son wanted Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme and I’m glad that there are so many ideas all over the internet.

While searching for ideas I found personalized koozies, you can view site here, honestly, I’m only familiar with coaster so I really have no idea about koozie so I consulted google again and here’s what I found.

Koozie is a foam or fabric device that is designed to insulate a can or bottle beverage from heat using both external infrared sources and conduction. But now, it is also made from open cell foam, polyester, and neoprene. It can reduce the warm of the beverage up to fifty percent. In addition, it is also used to easily identify the owner of the beverage.

Aside from insulating the beverage, it is now being used as a marketing tool. The company realized that koozies are affordable means of advertising or promoting a service or product. It can also be used as giveaways in weddings, schools, shows, events and product launch.

There are websites like Custom Koozy that offer a designer tool that allows you to customize your own koozies. You can add text, images, and personal designs. Koozies are also available in different sizes and colors so choices are not limited. They do not require minimum order so even you have a small party or event, you can still order.

Actually, I found this product so cute but I can’t bring softdrinks in my son’s school party so I have to make something like this again.

Back Pain

I’m pretty sure that almost everyone experienced back pain. Whenever I feel back pain, I always ask my husband to massage my back but there are times that it didn’t work so I have to rely on pain relief ointment or patches. Sometimes it works.

Now that I’m in 30 I always feel back pain but it is still tolerable so I know it is nothing serious. I’m not sure if it is a sign of aging or it is because I don’t have an active healthy lifestyle.

My normal wake up time is past 5AM but today I woke up at 3AM and I can’t sleep anymore. My husband cellphone alarms at 4:30 in the morning and he was shocked that I was already awake. I told him that I can’t sleep and experiencing back pain. I even suggested that I think we need to buy a new mattress or pillow top. He just laughed. I have no idea when it is the right time to replace mattress but we’ve been using our bed for 7 years already.

I was surfing the net a while ago, checking different online store who sell mattresses and I can’t decide which one I will buy if ever we have the budget. There are foam mattress, memory foam, latex mattress, and even custom mattress.

I can’t believe that mattress is so expensive and bed frame is not yet included. Well, you really have to invest if you want a sound sleep. But as of now, I’m happy with my pain reliever patches.

Father's Day at Contis

We went to Valenzuela and Victoria, Laguna last Saturday so we were so dead tired the following day. My husband decided not to celebrate father’s day and wanted to stay home but I told him we will just buy cake.

He agreed so we went to Nuvali at 5PM just to buy a cake. Anyare! We took early dinner instead of buying a cake. We love Contis and we always order our favorite Lengua Estofado P295, Grilled Pork Chops P285, Bananalicious Pie P90 and Sanrival P90.

separate bowl for garlic rice

My husband and son shared on the grilled pork chop, Ethan prefers pork than lengua. =) So after finishing my food I have no more room for desserts. Pero hindi ako papayag pinilit ko pa rin magdessert. Sayang! Naorder na!

DIY Scratchpad

Green living is part of my lifestyle ever since I was a kid. I’m a fan of 3 R’s which is "reduce, reuse, and recycle" so making a scratch pad is one of my things. I always reuse papers because I know that we need to help in saving trees.

Making a scratchpad is not difficult so if you have spare time you can do this. Like yesterday, it was a holiday so I got my folder where I keep used papers and started making scratchpad. I saw the old calling card of my husband and put some padding glue too.

What do I need:

Used paper

Scissors or Cutter

Padding Glue

Clamp

For calling card, I just put clamp and padding glue.

For used paper, fold and cut the paper according to your preference.

Arrange the paper, put clamp and padding glue.

Let it dry for a few hours.

Pap Smear

I kept on coming back to my OB-Gyne last month because of UTI and I took advantage those visits and I undergo Papanicolaou test a.k.a pap smear, cervical smear, smear test or pap test. Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer so it is a must for women to take this test to detect cervical cancer early.

I started taking this test one year after I gave birth. Honestly, I’m not really comfortable with Pap smear or any test that will expose my private part but whether I like it or not, I have to do it. Anyway, it will only take a few minutes of exposure. =)

There are two types of test; Conventional Pap and Liquid Based Cytology, I always choose the latter because according to my OB-Gyne it is more accurate. Though this is more expensive P1,500 per test but not yearly so my next pap test is on year 2015.

I got my result after one week and thank God everything is normal but there is a note “benign smear with moderate inflammation and reparative changes.” So I need vaginal suppository for 7 days.

If you’re planning to take Pap smear, remember that no intercourse two days before the test and no menstrual period during the test.
