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.

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.

Take a peek into the TV commercial that depict Coco's journey to success. If you have any #SarapNgSuccess story and pictures depicting your own story, you can share it by completing the sentence "Successful ang araw ko dahil __________."
