Contests Prizes and Winnings

"I won!" I love saying these two words repeatedly.

Reading these words, "Congratulations you are one of the winners...", in my email (as long as it is not spam) makes me feel like I am in the clouds. Knowing that my name or one of my family member's is included in the winners list brings me much joy.

I just find it fascinating to receive prizes, freebies and tokens from the contests I had joined. Yes, sometimes I win and sometimes I do not. Here are all the prizes and some freebies that my family received last month.


I appreciate all these gift certificates and items from Krispy Kreme, Honda Card Philippines, The Ramp Crossings, ClawDaddy, and Inquirer publications for the magazines and movie tickets. Even the kids enjoyed their loots from Disney Princess magazine and Total Girl magazine for my daughter's KidzRepublic gift certificate and for my younger sister's Barbie Mariposa beauty loot.

The latest item I received is a Physiogel gift pack as a consolation prize from MomsToady magazine for my short note on "How Do You Keep Baby's Skin Soft and Smooth."


The monetary values of all these prizes are not really high, but the good feeling comes from considering that we got all these for free!

Well, will I also be lucky if I buy lottery tickets?

Breastfeeding Wonders and the Truth about Infant Formula

Moms are now rising to the challenge of breastfeeding. Knowing how difficult breastfeeding is, I still believe that with determination to breastfeed from the start and commitment to stick with it, breastfeeding can go on easier.

Breastfeeding is the best and natural way to meet the baby's nutrition needs. It strengthens the special bond between the mother and the child even more. Breast milk is the first perfect food for the baby. The benefits for the mother and the child are actually incalculable and nothing is more wonderful than this. Now, more moms are keeping abreast on breastfeeding. There are online communities and advocates who support mommies to go on with breastfeeding their babies.

Experts and the federal government encourages American mothers to breastfeed their babies because of its benefits to the baby and the family as well. Breast milk is free and it can help mothers save around $2,000 a year on baby formula.

A federal agency, WIC, provides nutrition counseling, food and health services, has also introduces a new food program that encourages breastfeeding. This new program, mandated in all the States, reallocates funding for all currently provided foods, which includes infant formula, baby foods and more. It means that a mother whp choose to breastfeed their babies exclusively with not be provided with an infant formula.

Here is an interesting baby formula calculator where we can calculate the amount of savings we can get. You can compare the price of the infant formula you often used with the high quality Parent’s Choice Infant formula. There is actually more savings on the Parent’s Choice Infant formula and moms should not be worried with its nutritional values. As Dr. Barbara Levine of Weill Cornell Medical College says,

“Store-brand infant formulas sold at major retailers are therefore a premium nutritional substitute at a value price and meet the same exacting FDA nutritional requirements as all the major brands. As a nutritionist I know the truth about infant formula: there is no nutritional reason to buy the much more expensive formulas sold by the big pharmaceutical companies.”

Dora the Explorer

My daughter Skylah grew up being fond of Dora the Explorer. Until now, she still watches Dora on DVD and play Dora games on the computer. On the other hand, my son Brent also likes Diego (Dora's cousin) and the jaguar.

When we happen to see an advertisement at Philippine Star that there would be a Dora the Explorer at the Ayala Malls, she instantly said, "Mommy let's watch Dora!" I checked on the ways on how we can get to watch. Good thing, my sister is an A-card holder! I do not have to spend anything just to get free seats at the show. Those who are not A-card holders need to present receipts worth Php 2,000 from Ayala Malls establishments in order to have two tickets to the show.

I even had a hard time calling and reserving for seats because the phone lines are always busy. It is because Ayala Malls can only accommodate a number of A-card holders per show and maybe a lot of A-card holders are calling. However, after more than an hour of trying to call, I was glad that the phone ring. There... we have reserved seats for the Dora the Explorer The Big Piñata show!

We watched Dora the Explorer show last August 28, 2009 at Glorietta 5. We only have two free stubs, but they allowed me and my two kids to have seats. My kids also get to have their pictures taken with Dora and Boots. A free print is also provided by Picture City.

The Big Piñata show lasted for just about 30 minutes, but my kids had so much fun and enjoyed this wonderful day with Dora, their favorite adventurer!
