Happy New Year

2012-01-02T08:15:00.000-08:00

Happy New year my dear friends, readers, followers and to you who is reading this blog right now :) .. It's been a while sine I last updated this blog.. as much as I want to write, my hands are tied at work right now.. one more thing that keeps me occupied is that my "nanny" goes on vacation since December 23 and I haven't heard from her... (whew! they said finding a good nanny is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow)..

Anyways, it was funny because I was suppose to make a list f my New Year's Resolution and # 1 on my list is to make a bucket list.. hahaha,..I was so busy that I think I'll be able to make the lists on Valentine's Day..:)))

So much for now, I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I hope you'll all have a prosperous and peaceful 2012...Feel free to drop a line or two... I would love to hear from you. God bless you... mwaaahhhh!!! <3

Super Proud Sister - Mom this is for you

2011-08-23T16:27:00.000-07:00

Last week my youngest sister, Ma. Benjieleen Nama., joined the Miss Casino Filipino - Hyatt. Since my mom is not around anymore..we showed an overflowing support to our "bunso"

We were all nervous because admittedly, she did everything on her own. My sisters have their families to take care of and we are all busy. MJ juggles studies and her sidelines. She's a candidate to be a scholar and on the side she accepts "rakets" to provide for her studies.

We came from a poor family but our mother brought us up well..She never graduated elementary education but she made sure all of us will get a college degree..

Anyways, back to the pageant night.... we were so proud that she got the Best in Swimwear, Evening Gown and Miss Casino Filipino Hyatt

The NAMA sisters (Joy,Marie,MJ,Mylene,Meanne and Me)

During the interview my sister paused when she mentioned that this is for our Mom who is watching from heaven..all of us are holding our tears.. she never fails to thank my Mom on all the pageants she joined..

After the pageant, it's time for the girls night out =)

My sister, Mylene even jammed with the band

I suppeerrrrr love these girls... PROUD NAMA SISTERS =)

What's wrong with Smart Bro?

2011-07-12T09:21:00.001-07:00

I am so lucky that I have generous friends who are kind enough to lend me a laptop and a Smart Bro so I can internet at home..

Since it's a prepaid.. I availed of the unlimited surfing for 5 days.. and as a working mom.. I try to squeeze in a little time to go online whenever my child is asleep..(before I go to bed).. unfortunately, whenever I log in it's always "failed" and when I call the Customer Service I often get the standard answer "sorry for the inconvenience ma'am but we are currently having a system upgrade..kindly monitor within 24 hours"..

I want to tell them that "time is Gold".. the "me time" i have is very limited and all I want is to access the net with the money I paid for.. (but of course, i didn't do that).. well, that's basically it .. I'm just thinking aloud and expressing my disappointment.. hehe, sayang naman kasi yung chance na may nagpahiram ng laptop sakin..

I guess... I'll just pray that "Bro" will give me a laptop soon so I don't have to borrow..=).. anyways, what can I do?..instead of getting mad.. I'll just have to smile and accept the fact that maybe they are really doing a system upgrade.. hehe.. hay! Smart Bro..

Will I sleep tonight?

2011-07-08T08:59:00.002-07:00

That is the question.. =)

You may ask why.. well, as I've mentioned on my previous posts..since my computer "died" last year.. I wasn't able to buy a new computer again.. new models come & go.. and before I have a budget to buy it's already obsolete..

So how was I able to manage blogging again???..hehe, on my free time at the office I try to make a draft of my post and when I have a chance I will drop by an internet shop to post my thoughts..(our IT blocks almost everything, every website that I visit pops up a message "denied access" especially the blogger & wordpress sites)...Poor me.. hehe, I can't even buy my own computer..haha

Anyways, I'm so happy tonight because a friend lend me his laptop and another friend lend me her SmartBro...and since I'm an internet addict.. I'm wondering...hehe should I sleep tonight or enjoy surfing the whooooole night?...

One thing I that I want to highlight on this story.. I may be poor with gadgets but I'm definitely blessed with generous friends..=)

Thank you Lord....Enjoy your weekend everyone.. mwah mwah mwah

Eto Na… Vice Ganda Todong Sample Sa Araneta

2011-07-02T00:49:00.000-07:00

Last night, I was with my girlfriends to watch Eto Na… Vice Ganda Todong Sample Sa Araneta.

The ticket stated that the show will start at 8p.m., but it was past 9p.m. already when the show started. Around 7:30p.m we were already seated because we anticipated that there wil be thousands of people who will watch the concert. True enough, Araneta Coliseum was filled with people “hindi mahulugan ng karayom”.

The stage had a simple set up and from time to time people will scream “Volume.. Volume’.. That’s because the sound system was terrible. Vice was really good on delivering his lines and he was so funny with his spontaneous witty remarks. Unfortunately, the audience cannot hear everything clearly.

There were so many stars who watched like Nikki Gil, Maja Salvador, jinky Pacquiao, Kris Aquino, Jo Avila, Kean Cipriano, Empres Schuck, Melissa Ricks, and hi Showtime family and friends.

His witty remarks with his guests like Cristine Reyes, Enchong Dee ad Toni Gonzaga were remarkable. But the best of it all was the appearance of his surprise guests like Derek Ramsay without his shirt on and the closing number where Coco Martin sang a song for him.

It was a night full of laughter. Vice definitely entertained the audience and the amount we spent for the ticket is really worth it. His timely punch lines made everybody laugh their hearts out.

P.S.But for me, what I can’t forget that night is when Xian Lim played the piano… OMG! Xian Liam.. Ikaw na..Mahal na Kita… hahaha

My Bohol Trip

2011-06-28T01:14:00.000-07:00

After so many things that happened in my life lately, I am so grateful that I have very loving and supportive family and

friends...God has been sooooo good to me and Cheska.

Recently, a friend of mine, Chaya, invited us to Bohol.. hehehe, Thank God that we were able to get a cheap promo fare .. (of course we booked early)... and Chaya gave us free accommodation and FOOD.. yum yum..

It's their town fiesta and OMG! there's food everywhere... haha! I think my cholesterol level sky-rocketed high after our vacation.. anyway, I am so happy that I was able to spend time with my cool and silly friends

Hang in there..... (hangin' bridge)

Lunch at Loboc River

Challenging the waves at Dapdap Beach

Another Zipline Adventure

Hanging out with the Tarsiers

We will definitely go back to Bohol and try another adventure... =)

Keep smiling my friends... don't forget to always pray and Thank God for all His blessings =)

Review: Garnier Eye Roll-on

2011-06-25T00:41:00.000-07:00

It runs in the blood...my family has dark circles on our eyes and we are prone to eyebags

I've been using Garnier Eye Roll-on for a year now..

Compared to other eye cream, it is way cheaper. The SRP is Php199.00 and you can use it for a long time..

To see visible results, it is suggested to use it twice daily...in the morning and in the evening (of course, after your usual regimen of cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin)

In my case, however, it is part of my Kikay Kit.. whenever I feel that my eyes are heavy already due to long period of staring on my computer monitor..I just apply it and I immediately feel the relaxing effect on my eye..

So the verdict : I will continue using this product.. and since I'm thrifty, my Php199.00 is definitely worth it.. =)

Do it twice daily, in the morning and in the evening before bedtime, and you may also use it in the middle of the day when you think your eyes need some refreshing

Para Kanino Ka Bumabangon?

2011-06-06T23:57:00.001-07:00

This morning while I was preparing on my way to work, I saw this TV ad.. Well, I was just doing my usual morning routine.. then this question strikes me.. "Para Kanino Ka Bumabangon??" I was thinking...I'm so fortunate that I have my daughter with me..

I stared at my daughter who is still asleep and tears flowed down on my cheek... tama! Para syo ako bumabangon anak.. Everyday Mommy is happy facing all the challenges in life because of you...

Ikaw??.. Para kanino ka bumabangon??

I'm back ... Tougher and Wiser!

2011-05-30T21:54:00.000-07:00

After so many months of being quiet, I thought that reviving my blog would be a good therapy. There were so many things that happened in my life lately.. there are so many plans that I need to do for me & my Cheska.. but I realized, I love writing.. I love sharing my experiences and musing.

Hopefully, God will give me a laptop soon so I can do everything at home while my baby is asleep or busy doing something else...(friends please pray with me...hehehe)

After the dark episode in my life.. I need an outlet..I need to connect with the world again.. I need to see my friends...spend quality time with my baby and live life to the fullest..

Love you all my dear friends.. Thank you for always being there for me...

Hopefully I can post pictures & stories on my recent adventures.... God bless! =) xoxo

Bachuchay Review: Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil

2011-05-21T04:19:00.000-07:00

I love reading reviews on beauty products because before I purchase a product I want to get some feedback first about the other consumers' experience. Recently, I’ve read that Unilab introduced the Celeteque Advance Anti-Aging Trio (Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer, Anti-Aging Power Serum Concentrated Break Off Capsules

and Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle

Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil) on a Celeteque Blogger's Event.

I was curious because I’ve been a Celeteque user and I am satisfied with the results when I included Celeteque Toner and Facial Moisturizer on my beauty regimen every night. So I bought the Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil to try for myself.

This product, Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil, has a Dual Vitamin Regenerating Complex that promotes healthy tissue regeneration, increasing elasticity and moisture content that helps firm and strengthen skin thus reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.

Based on the direction on the box, there are three (3) ways on how you can use the product and I tried them all to test which best suits me:

First : (As Hydrating facial cleanser) Apply Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil over dry face in a gentle circular motion and wash with water to ensure that oil is thoroughly rinsed off.

(Before)

(After)

After washing my face, I was delighted on how moisturized my skin was. As you can see on the picture, it instantly gives me that velvet glow. In addition, it doesn't have a strong scent that makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin. The feeling was very light, unlike with the other oil based product that I've tried which makes my face feel so greasy.

Second : (As make up remover) Put a few drops on cotton ball to remove make up and deep-seated dirt.

Important Tip: Follow the direction...Put a few drops. In this case, I have poured a generous amount of oil on the cotton.. so the next day that I applied it, I realized that with a few drops it can easily remove all the dirt and makeup on my face. It’s a great makeup remover and practical too because the 50ml bottle will definitely last if you use it properly.

Third : (As leave-on moisturizer) As written on the box, “Noticeable improvement and reduction of fine lines are more visibly seen when used as a leave-on”

(I learned my lesson now.. PUT A FEW DROPS ONLY..=) then I applied it on my face on a circular motion and leave-on overnight)

(I love the result when I woke up the next morning after I use Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil as leave-on)

Celeteque Advance Anti wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleanser Light Cleansing Oil promises that you will see visible results in 6 weeks.. I'm almost on my second week now and I can feel that my skin feels silky smooth and totally moisturized. Since I have oily skin, I prefer to use it as a cleanser (wherein I wash my face with water after the application to thoroughly rinse off the oil) and use it as a leave-on at least once a week.

My verdict : I will continue using it and for better results I will use the Anti-Aging Trio to prevent/reduce the fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation on my face.

Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Trio are available at Watsons.
Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer (45 mL) - Php 620

Anti-Wrinkle Hydrating Cleansing Oil — Php 199 (50 mL) and Php 369 (100 mL)

Anti-Aging Power Serum Capsules — Php 699

Mommy ME Time

2011-05-14T00:56:00.000-07:00

"Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love." ~Mildred B. Vermont

I love that quote…No need to say that being a mom is a really tough job. It’s an all around job that makes you a doctor, janitress, teacher, cook, plumber and all the jobs you can think of when inside the house. Also, once you become a mom, expect that having an 8-10 hour sleep is already a luxury.

All of these, however, are all worth it when you see the smile from your little angel and when you have that kiss and hug from your precious one…ohhh! Priceless..

Having said that we also have to realize that being a mom should not hinder you on taking care of yourself. As a matter of fact, I believe that when you become a mom.. that’s the time that you should take care of yourself more and avoid being a “losyang”.. Admit it! For us mom, it’s a compliment when you hear your friends say “oh wow! You’re a hot mom”.. well, you don’t have to wear skimpy clothes to receive comments like that but what’s important is you reflect how beautiful you are beautiful inside and out.

Here are some of the things I do to take care of my NEEDS and WANTS:
* I allot time to reflect and have a quiet moment. Through that I am able to assess how am I doing as a mom and as an individual

* Have time with my girl friends..some quality time of silliness and fun boosts my sense of humor and gives me more reason to laugh and reminds me not to take life too seriously

* Eat well and exercise - I love running..it's the cheapest form of exercise..no machines nor annual membership needed.. you also get to breath fresh air..I join various Fun Runs and I never miss Run United since it started.. (that's my favorite run because they are very generous in giving freebies..=) )

* don't forget to take your vitamins.. with all that tasks a mother has to do..you will definitely need some energy booster.. In my case, I drink Athena every night and I always take Myra 400-E, Enervon and Calcium in the morning..

* Pamper yourself- I love having a massage after a stressful day and I also have my own beauty routine..always...(don't forget!) put a moisturizer.. I love Myra-E's liquid foundation and their lotions..the secret is always moiturize

* Travel and try new things .. Just live life to the fullest

I love being a mom.. and I love my individuality as well.. so to all the moms out there.. I salute you and I encourage you to embrace life and love yourself too.. you deserve that pampering too

For useful insights of being a mom, check out Mec as Mom.. you will love her articles..For quality products, check out Unilab Facebook Page.... Love you all the moms out there.. Mwah!

I want that Somnio Mission Control Running Shoes

2011-04-15T23:32:00.000-07:00

I love Running..

Lately, I find myself joining almost every Run that the proceeds is for a Charitable Institution. Here are my reasons (1) I can help the community in my own little way (2) to lose weight and get fit (3) to breathe in fresh air and breathe out all the stress that I've been going through.

It was a revelation to my family and friends that recently my daughter & I moved to a better place and live on our own. As a mother, I chose to raise my kid alone and bravely face all the challenges. I chose to be a single mom and show her that it is a wonderful world even if there's only the two of us.

When I saw the Somnio Running Shoes Blogger Contest, I never hesitated to join because I believe that my passion for running will inspire me to write and take the challenge in the bloggers' contest.
And who wouldn't fall in love with Somnio Mission Control Running Shoes.
I checked out UNBOX's site and here are some interesting info about this shoes : "it was designed for runners with low to medium foot arches and moderate to severe pronation. What makes this even cooler is that you can actually use their F.E.A.T. system (Functionally Engineered Adaptable Tricomponent) to create a custom footbed specifically for your feet! How cool is that! The footbed will provide more support and comfort regardless if you’re running or just walking. In terms of durability, the Somnio Mission Control has Road Block tread rubber making it pretty sturdy and tough. It also has Stretch Mesh forefoot material which allows the shoe to move with your foot helping in mobility and removing that “heavy” feeling you get when using big shoes."

I know I deserve to win this because I am brave enough to join the contest and my passion in life and running will inspire others. =)

To know more check out UNBOX Facebook Page and also UNBOX website for all the interesting stuff they have.

My First (TRAUMATIC) Purchase at Ebay

2011-01-11T03:08:00.000-08:00

A lot of people has been warning me about purchasing online..One of my officemate, however, has been very lucky finding good stuff in Ebay. She bought perfume, watch, netbook and other stuff at a very reasonable price and the quality is good.

So I was encouraged to try. I want to buy myself a christmas present so I decided to bid on a Nokia C3. I bid for two(2), the original plan was one for myself and the other one as a gift. However, due to time (& budget) constraint, I thought of just buying one.

This will be my first purchase so I need to be very careful (& I can't hide teh fact that I'm excited as well). First I checked the feedback..there are 2 positive feedback for the seller and no negative feedback. She also posted that I can pay thru Paypal or Gcash. So I thought, I think this is legitimate.

Then I received a mail that I won the bidding and there was a payment instruction. I asked her about the Paypal account because I wanted to pay thru paypal..the seller "reallynicebuy" told me that they temporarily suspend their Paypal account because they were charged with some transactions they never made. So I should pay thru G-Cash instead.

She gave her mobile #, which is also her Gcash acct and she keeps asking what's my deliver address so she can immediately ship that day so I can receive max. 2 days. To make the long story short, I paid thru G-cash and immediately after that I cannot contact her anymore. Package was not delivered and the # given me cannot be reached anymore.. NO EMAIL, NO SMS and the line can no longer be reached.

I was on an out of town vacation during the holidays so I have no internet access. I was only hoping when I get back to Manila I can fix everything. When I went to Globe Center they told me that they can only block the Sim card that was used but there's nothing they can do to apprehend the person or retrieve the money.

These are the information on the Gcash Account and Ebay account :

Name - Mina Vallejos

Address - 3410 Jupiter st. Bel Air Makati City

Well, I guess the only thing I can do now is wait for Ebay's feedback and just pray for these scammers. But for now, I just have to get over the fact that my hard earned Php4.630.00 is already gone...:(

If you have same experience as mine, please feel free to leave a comment.. be careful everyone.

Good Run Gone Bad...(caused by a stupid Drunk Driver)

2010-07-01T04:12:00.000-07:00

Last Saturda, June 27, 2010, I was suppose to run at Lactacyd Team Woman Run.. I usually take a cab going to the Fort because it's just near our place.. That morning, I've decided to ask my husband to drive for me since I'm almost late for the run..

While we were at McKinley Hill, a few meters away from the Starting point of the race..we stopped the car and see if I can go down already. Then a Toyota Revo just slammed our car. I was so shocked that I didn't realize the extent of the damage in our car. The only thing that came into my mind is..is my husband okay?..

We were so fortunate that there were Police Officers on the area. The drunk driver even tried to runaway with his vehicle..fortunately (for us!) the front wheel exploded and can't run anymore..This whole experience gives me a lot of realization.. I can write a whole page narrating the story..(unfortunately, due to time constraints ..I can't)..

We're so blessed that no one get hurt.. but if you'll see our car.. you'd think otherwise.. so I'm calling all the drivers out there.. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE...

Getting ready for your wedding takes a whole lot of planning--and the wide range of ideas, choices, and suppliers available makes it that much harder! Like many brides-to-be planning their big day, you may have a wedding or events planner to help you out, or you may not--either way, we're sure you want to stay involved in the coordination and organization, from the initial stages of planning your overall theme, to settling on a church and reception venue, to choosing the menu and the mementoes. Add to all this your own concerns as a blushing bride and future wife--choosing (or designing!) your rings, and planning your honeymoon activities (though we're sure you know what you'll be spending most of your time on)--and you can get easily overwhelmed way before you have to walk down the aisle!

That's where Bridalbook.ph comes in. Bridalbook not only gives you a broad listing of all the suppliers and contacts you'll need to plan a successful (and affordable!) wedding, it also gives you inspiration and ideas through its many photo galleries of real weddings, with detailed photos of gowns, invitations, centerpieces, giveaways, floral arrangements, and the ceremonies themselves!

Thanks for remembering.. ♫ Happy birthday to me ♫

2010-05-13T05:03:00.000-07:00

♫ Happy birthday to me ♫ ♫ Happy birthday to me ♫

♫ Happy birthday .. ♫ Happy birthday .. ♫ Happy birthday to me ♫

Yesterday, I just turned 31 and I realized so many things. I look back and think, "how did I spend that 30 years of my life?".. well, that's the serious part. I think as you grow a little older you become more serious in life.. but life is short so we shouldn't take life so seriously.. instead we should live a day at a time.. and live life to the fullest.. =)

Anyway, I spent my birthday in Tagaytay with my daughter, my husband & the nanny. =) After sightseeing, super foodtrip.. the most exciting part is I was finally able to try 'zipline'.. =) .. I loooove it and I would definitely try it again next time..

I'll try to post some pics next time.. but for the meantime I would like to thank all those who greeted me.. (you know who you are *wink*).. love you all & thank you so much for remembering.. mwah! God bless....

Vacation in Punta Fuego Batangas

2010-05-01T21:48:00.000-07:00

I really love this summer..it's a great opportunity for a family bonding time. Twoi weeks ago, we went to Punta Fuego Batangas. The beach is really great. Unfortunately, you can't go there if you do not know any member, so yoiu can't just reserve a place because it's exclusive for the members (& their family or friends.. I guess).

Anyways, here are some of our pictures while enjoying the beach.. =)

Feeling Turista =)

No wonder why we can't find the beach..
Daddy & Cheska.. bonding! =)
Cheska & I enjoying the clear water =)

We love the place soooo much and we're definitely coming back =)

Musing of Bachuchay

2010-02-25T03:14:00.000-08:00

I love joining online contests and recently I won a gift certificate at JOYful D*Sign (http://joyfuldsign.etsy.com). I was so delighted to receive an email from Denise that I can already choose the items on her shop. I haven’t met her but she seems to be a really nice person. And the items on her shop are really adorable.

Unfortunately, there was a confusion because a certain Etsy user who is trying to make a bogus transaction (pretending that she is me or something like that.. well, I don’t even have an Etsy account) was leaving negative feedback on her site. That person was ordering on my behalf. This is very bad because Denise’s work are very good (you may see for yourself at http://joyfuldsign.etsy.com) and based on the reviews most customer feedbacks are positive and amazed on her works and the way she handles the items for shipping.

I just feel bad that there are cases like this. Just like the spammers whom I really hate for flooding my email. (this is another story). I just hope that people online will still keep their values and be responsible on their actions.

Well, it’s just another musing of Bachuchay.. Have a blessed day everyone..

My All Natural Running Experience

2010-02-14T21:57:00.000-08:00

I was born and raised in one of the greenest province in the Philippines, Laguna. As a child, I wasn’t really conscious about the health benefits of running all I know was during weekend and holidays I would beg my mom to let me sleep over at my cousin’s house in Pagsanjan Laguna so we can bond and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I was so excited waking up as early as 5am then we would walk on the ricefield and run on the road side while enjoying the picturesque view of the line of tress that seems to stretch their branches as we approach them while we enjoy the scent of the morning breeze. The smell of the leaves has a certain kick that gives us a natural high.

Nothing beats the scenic view of the sunrise while we are taking a rest on a small monument at the park. We would occasionally stop and look at the clouds and let our imagination run free as we see different shapes and objects like bear, castles and flowers in the sky. Sometimes we would only run with slippers on and go straight to the river to finish the run with a revitalizing bath on a running water.

As years go by, (should I say as I grow old) and since I’m based in Manila already, I still grab every chance I get to jog and enjoy nature when I’m in Laguna. Nothing beats a beautiful scenery while you run. It relaxes you and helps you reflect on the things that are happening in your life.
