Whew!It’s been a long time since I last posted. Been very busy lately. But I certainly will not let the Mothers’ Day pass without posting something for everyone to enjoy. So just sit back, relax and enjoy a light read.

Yesterday, Aldrin and I together with Sam and Ley, my mom, my bro Kev and our ate Joy and Hazel, went out for lunch at Max’s Restaurant to celebrate the Mothers’ day.

And so we went to SM Dasmarinas and when we got there, the PA was announcing that a Cake Decorating contest for moms and kids sponsored by Goldilocks was on-going at the activity area. My mom invited me to join the contest.
We went there, my mom registered Sam and I, and we purchased a rectangular mocha cake which comes with sugar and chocolate candies for decorating.

At first, we didn’t have any idea where to put the flowers so we decided to start with the gum paste. I drew butterflies at the sides of the cake and my mom wrote “Sam and Ley” at one side of the cake and “Happy Mom’s day” at the center of the cake. Her handwriting was fantastic. We were all chaotic at first since Sam and Ley were all around my mom and I. But we still got to finish the cake. We submitted it then we left to have lunch.

While at Max’s, we heard over the PA that the contestants were called to be interviewed by the host. So I hurried, I carried Sam to the contest stage. The host asked me what the concept was behind the cake decoration. I said that Sam liked butterflies and flowers so that’s what inspired the cake decoration.

After the short interview, we went back to Max’s to finish our lunch. But after a few minutes, my bro who was already outside waiting, was knocking at the glass wall, and told me that we won the grand prize and that the host was looking for me! I was really surprised!

Again, I hurried to go there with Sam. Everyone congratulated us. And I was really happy. My mom was also happy, she told me she knew we will win.

So, we won 5000 pesos worth of SM Gift cards, 2 MyTribe bracelets, Scents and Blends GCs, Akari products, and Goldilocks goodies of course!

Happy Mothers Day to everyone! I hope you all had a fun day like me!

This is what I saw in my inbox this morning. Nowadays, we really can’t be sure of which food we eat is clean and which is not. I guess we all should just be very careful ourselves. You may also want to read about my McDonalds’ Helmet entry.

Here’s a portion of the scanned list of findings.

Disclaimer: The sole purpose of this post is to warn everyone to be careful. This is not a defamatory act agains McDonalds at any branches. I just ate at McDo yesterday. In fact, I customized a McDo Float…

In the Philippines, the coconut tree could be the most useful tree of all. From its roots up to the tiny bones of its leaves.

For animals, it could be the chicken. From its feet (adidas), to its intestines (isaw), up to its head (helmet). Only the feathers and the nails are not edible from its parts. If by chance I get chicken head served for me at McDonalds, I would just laugh, be amazed, take a picture of it, and then eat it. It’s crazy but it’s somehow cool to see it.

But this is “Only in the Philippines”. Because in America, they don’t eat chicken heads. And it will end up to filing cases and demanding for certain amount of dollars.
