Happy New Year everyone! Goodbye 2019 and Hello 2020! This is to welcome the new year here at my blog and thank you for all my readers who support me throughout, Thank You So Much.

The family never gets tired of preparing foods for the new year celebration, especially me because I have 2 kids who longing to have even just a simple celebration just the 4 of us. Yah! I did prepare some foods that my kids love it and requested to have in our table.

For this year, simple food for a simple family like us. For Kuya Maki, he loves Graham Cake, while Playfull Gelo likes Pork Tonkatsu and Siomai, yeah I included that food that my kids love it. A picture taking before the celebration to capture the bonding moments that we have.

I hope that this year will be fruitful and will have more happiness, cross finger! The year 2019 was full of struggle, hardship, and sadness, I guess, that is why I'm praying and claiming to make 2020 bountiful, abundant, and blessed. This is not only for me and my family but to you, my readers, as well. Thank You!

Okay, it's so serious, haha. To make the moment memorable. I just want to share our Tira Tira Party! Tira Tira means leftover food, for sure all of us experience it, right? Even a simple celebration with few foods in our table still we cannot finish it all in one sitting. Like, the salad and ham, we can't finish it all.

Just to have a simple celebration because we just stayed in the house, I made a tira tira party at the veranda of the 3rd house in our compound, the house of my Kids' GrandMother/Lola in the side of my hubby's family.

I just did a ham and egg sandwich because we had many leftovers of ham. We really can't finish all of that. I prepared 5 different sandwiches for my loved ones. I just want to share it because I am happy to prepare it for them and laughing as while preparing for it because I realized that even though we are one family, still, each of us has different likes when it comes to food.

Here are the 5 sandwiches in our Tira Tira Party
Sandwich No. 1 is for Nanay/Lola Digna and Tatay/Lolo Lito. I just prepared 1 ham and egg sandwich with fries for them. Nanay just cut it into halves for the both of them already because they can't even finish 1 sandwich at all. Tatay is already bedridden so only Nanay joined us.
Sandwich No 2 is for Kuya Maki, I made ham and egg sandwich with fries with Ketchup and mayo condiments as a dip. He loves ketchup and mayo for his fries. I am so thankful that Kuya Maki doesn't have a fever during the New Year's eve celebration. He has a fever for 2 days (Dec 30 and 31). Thank God.
Sandwich No. 3 is for me, just ham and egg with fries for me. While munching my foods, my youngest son Playfull Gelo asked for more fries from me, of course, I gave it all to him and he gave me a big smile, I just loved it!
Sandwich No. 4 is for Playfull Gelo, is just a plain egg sandwich and fries. He doesn't want a circle ham he wants a square ham, according to him, He just wants the taste of the square ham. I am happy because he finishes it all.
Sandwich No. 5 is for my hubby, Marco. I prepared 2 ham and egg sandwiches with fries. Yah! he finished it all in one sitting, I know his tummy after all.

We also have Biko from Nanay/Lola Digna, Halayang Ube from Nanay Letty, Salad from Mama/Lola Lolit and my Graham Cake. We have a chit chat together and a full tummy afterward.

I am happy that my family loves whatever food I preparing for them. Thankful that I have a skill to cook different dishes as well and they like it and most of the time requesting their favorites. I love them so much that's why I am always happy when I am cooking. And that concludes our #TiraTiraParty.

Thank you so much and I hope you'll enjoy whatever blog I will post for this year 2020! Happy New Year again to all!

A night of glam and beauty together with guests, media people, and the people behind Bioessence as the company celebrates its 25 years of existence. Continuously growing and continuously making a name in the skincare industry.

The celebration was held at Cities Event Place in Quezon City, an outdoor event that reflects the night's star with the glam and beauty of the attendees.

Just like any other events there's always a program to manage the flow of the night. As part of it is the speech of Dr. Emma Beleno, of which she openly shared their ups and downs while starting the business in 1994. It started in a town in Davao City with mere knowledge about business but with the passion of providing the skincare to everyone. Dr. Beleno pursues and grow the business of what we now know Bioessence.  She even shared that there were lessons learned along the way and she even attended business school just to master the business. She knows skincare because she's a doctor but she's no businesswoman to run a business that's why she continuously learns the ins and out of the business.



Continuously elevating the growth of Bioessence, they seeks new technology and new treatments for their clients and customers.
Congrats Bioessence!

Moms like me always need to look at time, of course for the kids schedules but I have never seen a watch that is unique like this SevenFriday.  Yes, I'm not a watch geek but this one intrigues me.  I remember a phrase that Sir Dan said "don't tell me, show me" and that's perhaps what's got my curiosity.
Last February 7, this mom was able to enjoy the flash party happened at the Black Market in Makati City, of course that was a party intended to introduce SevenFriday, Fresh from the press.  It is a night filled with music, drinks, celebrities and what else... SevenFriday watches.  Different personalities and celebrities were there to showcase the watches that fits their personalities some of them are Urnussa Cadness, Rhian Ramos, Laureen Uy, Jerome Teng, Anton Del Rosario , Chef Laudico, and Chiz Escudero and yes they are the chosen brand ambassadors of SevenFriday.  Unique that matches personalities.

Officially, SevenFriday was launched last September for the Philippine market. According to them this timepiece communicate a different aura which is different from any other watch in the market. This is a one of a kind watch that wows even the non-collectors. Elegant enough with its multi-faceted dial and the handiwork defines its finish that comes with modernity on it. Though Kwento Ni Toto wasn't able to wear one, I can somehow was able to feel the touch of its unique design through the pictures that was taken. A drooling picture eyeing to have one of this.

Known Watch Blogger, Anish Bhatt of www.watchanish.com

Steel, industrial plants, engines, machines, and wheels, these are what inspires the brand. The wristwatches of SevenFriday are buikt on two major elements: the box and the interface. The box is made of stainless steel that refers to the complex construction of the protective casing. The casing and the style lies betwenen the modern and the classic, creating an exciting atmosphere. It is surrounded by an animation ring made of aluminum, enhancing its haptic and visual appeal. While the within the box is the interface that consists of hands, discs, dial, and the watch movement. All the indicators are designed and arranged in a way to bring the complexity of the movement to the surface. The dial alone is made up of five separate pieces or layers , with eleven different applications. This complexity makes it interesting.
These watch innovations are visualized by the founder and owner of SevenFriday, Daniel Niederer, who ones have worked in some of the biggest brands of the watch industry. "We wanted to create something that repeesents a lifestyle that I want to live, the values I believe in. That was really the foundation of SevenFriday," that's what Mr Niederer shared.

In the Philippines, SevenFriday is located at their first solo boutique at the Promenade 2 in the Greenhills Shopping Complex which bellies the same industrial chic vibe of its timepieces.  Follow their instagram and twitter @SevenFriday_Manila.
