Our kids happiness is our joy. They are the greatest gifts given to us, parents. And it is our duty to provide the things they need to make them a happy individual. Of course celebrating their milestones makes us even more prouder.

There are so many ways to give a lasting moment for the kids and they will definitely enjoy every minute of it. It will be treasured forever. One of these is by giving them the best birthday party ever. A party celebration that shows how we, parents love them very much.


I was glad that one of the well-known restaurants in the country was able to invite me and experience celebrating occasions with them. And for that instance it was Chickie Boy's Birthday Party - A Max's Way. Chickie Boy is the ever wingy, lovable Mascot of Max's Restaurant.
Note if you celebrate your kids birthday with them he will surely make every kids have fun.

 
The venue of Chickie Boy's Birthday Party turned to be a huge playground for the kids. There were so many activities that my kids enjoyed very much that day.
"Make and Get Crowned" activity is showing the creativity of the kids by designing their own crown. "Visit the Princess Palace"  whereas the kids can take a picture with the princess and this station is what my youngest son, Gelo, really like the most. He loves to have a picture with the Princess, maybe because they don't have a sister in our house. "Dart The Baloon" . "Shoot the Ball" and "Hit The Block" are some of the activities included in the birthday party.

Max's Restaurant give both fun and meaningful celebrations with their amenities offered.

If you and your hubby don’t have any planned celebration this coming Valentine’s day then Max’s Valentine’s treat is the answer to that because you can spend your romantic date with them. Last week we get to have a glimpse of what Max’s Restaurant has to offer for their valued customers this love month. It was a night of food, sweets, couple’s interview and dating game for the “singles” with quote and quote. Of course, I and hubby were interviewed about our years of being together and how it came to be. It was a short interview and I think everyone discovered some parts of our love story.

And since it is the love month and most of the themes are about couples, hearts and love, Max’s Restaurant made us experience their treats this Valentine’s Day.

So what are in store for customers this Valentine’s Day? Well there are plenty and to begin with is their Delightful Valentine celebration which awaits customers for a special treat of a box of yummy Choco and Caramel bites from Max’s Corner Bakery as they dine at any Max’s Restaurant from February 13 to 15, 2015 with a minimum food spend of Php1,500.00. And that is all for free!

According to Orlando Villanueva, Max’s Restaurant’s Marketing Manager for Dine-In, Take Out, Delivery, and E-Commerce “Valentine’s Day is such a special occasion for Filipinos. It is during this season that we really go out of our way to show our appreciation for our loved ones. Max’s understand this endearing tradition very well. It inspired us to create the most romantic opportunities for our customers to celebrate Valentine’s.”

Furthering the romantic breeze of Valentine’s, Max’s offers their “Meal for Two,” an intimate all-day feast, for two that’s perfect for couples who want to celebrate Valentine’s Day while enjoying their favorite classic dishes from Max’s. Meal for Two creates the perfect date, with a regular half serving of Max’s sarap to the bones Fried Chicken complemented by a savory choice of Sizzling Tofu or Adobong Kangkong, steaming white rice, and two glasses of iced tea or any Pepsi softdrink. This hearty meal is sweetly capped off with delicious Buko Pandan. Sharing an intimate meal with a loved one doesn’t need to be hefty on the pocket too. Max’s Meal for Two is only priced at Php529 or with as much as Php191 savings for customers and is available until February 28, 2015.

Continuing the sweet treats of Max’s, Max’s Corner bakery is offering its Love Letter Cookies, Love Birds Cookies, melt-in-your-mouth White Chocolate Butter Cake, a delectably light and fluffy butter cake garnished with milky white chocolate shavings and topped with rich whipped cream and cherry; and yummy Choco Peanut Butter Cake, a rich and moist chocolate cake, filled with premium peanut butter icing and coated with delicious chocolate frosting. There’s nothing sweeter and more romantic than sharing these sweet treats from Max’s Corner Bakery!

Another surprises came into our doorstep. It was Friday, when Ms. Portia of Bright Idea called me and asked direction going to our house, because they have something for me. Wow! I couldn't believed it that there's another surprise for me!

Yes, it is!  When I saw them, they handed a box and a bouquet of flowers! Another flower for Mother's Day but this time it's a bouquet of flowers.  It was really amazing!  You know what, I got a confession to make I think my husband had just given me flowers 3 times.  Once when we were boyfriend girlfriend and twice when we celebrated our anniversary.  Hahaha!



Imagine  6 years of being boyfriend and girlfriend and 8 years of marriage with just 3 times of giving flowers, hahaha!  Well it's okay with me because flowers doesn't really matters but what matters most is the moment of togetherness and that is really the important thing in our life.


Well back to surprises, I really love the flowers.  My hubby gave a bouquet of flowers only once and he usually gave me a flower only.  Aside from the flowers, there was also a bag designed cake from Max's Corner Bakery.  I really felt that I'm very special with these gifts.  I love the bag designed cake and wish to have a real bag like that, too much!



The flowers and bags aren't enough because they also included some GC of The Spa for some relaxing treat.  This is for sure another pampering day for me. Well, I'll be using it soon to have a relaxing moment after taking care of my family.  And finally the GC of Max's Restaurant, of course to fill up those tummies.  They are really generous and I really do feel special with these gift.  I love being a mom, lots of surprises.

On the day of Mother's Day Celebration, we went to Max's Restaurant Commonwealth Branch and treat my family and my parents, unfortunately my mother-in-law is in Marinduque to spend vacation, maybe next time when she's here already I will treat her somewhere.





Aside from Mother's Day, we also celebrated the 3rd Birthday of my youngest Son, Gelo. It was an intimate and memorable day again that I can treasure for the rest of my life.

I am very thankful to Max's Family and Bright Idea for really making me a special Mom and let my family have a bonding moment over a sumptuous dinner with their all time favorite Fried Chicken at Max's Restaurant.

Thank you very much and more power!

One of the highlights in our lives are the success that we experience. Success in life is one of the greatest thing that we treasure and be thankful to God all ways. This is the fruit of our labor.

In my case, family is my success.  They are the greatest gift that God gave me.  When I got married, it was hard for me to bare a child.  Though we wanted to have a child as early as possible the problem made us wait for quite some years then that's the time that we decided to see an ob-gynecologist.  With some test and medications my hubby and I decided to give up my work and took a rest together with the monitoring of my ob-gyne.  It was God miracle because after few months of medication, finally I got pregnant.  So after 2 years we got married I gave birth on our eldest. So now, we have already 2 kids.

Though my success of having children and making my husband happy need to gave up my work, still its a fulfilling feeling that I really treasure and be thankful.

My story may not be a big success compared to others I find worth sharing that we all need to be patient prayerful for our success wouldn't be complete without the help of God.  Just like this inspiring story of Coco Martin on how a simple waiter of Max's Restaurant become a well-known celebrity and the best of it is the endorser of the establishment where he once worked with.  From being a waiter at Max's Restaurant in 2000-2001 and now Coco Martin is one of the most respected actors in the country.
