Requirements, Events, Photoshoot and Sickness

I need a medical certificate and a notarized waiver and permit!

The pedia of my kids doesn't have a clinic schedule on a Tuesday, and this means visiting a nearby clinic so my kids can be issued a medical certificate. I got their certificates without any hassle at all. Before lunch time, I received a call reminding me to have the waiver and the work permit notarized. Good thing that mama is also having some documents notarized. We dropped by the notary public before heading to the office.

I was not feeling well that afternoon and I could hardly eat that night.

I need to attend the DOLE seminar!

I asked my husband to accompany me today as I already have a slight fever. At 9:00 a.m, we met Lolita at McDonald's and went to DOLE to for the requirements and the seminar. There I've met the other moms as well.
I slept throughout the afternoon. I am too worried of my pending Odesk assignments.

I need to rest and prepare our things!

I didn't get to work today. My head fells slightly heavy everytime I check on my emails and use the PC. I checked the list for the things that we need to bring for tomorrow's shoot... clothes, shoes and accessories. I dropped by Landmark department store in the afternoon to buy tops and slippers for Skylah and Brent. Good thing I was in the area, and I decided to claim my free David Sedaris book from Powerbooks Greenbelt.

No breakfast and no lunch as my throat still hurts. I've only took a large size of Fruit Magic's body cleanser on my way home.

This is the big day!

Call time is at 11 am and we were there just 10 minutes after 11! We took breakfast before the makeup session. The photoshoot starts at around 1 pm. I was really thankful that my kids didn't have any tantrums expecially Brent who's not really fond of smiling at the camera. I guess our shoot just went naturally and the kids enjoyed it as well.

How I wish that the outcome would be good as it is.

It's Barbie's birthday party!

My daughter Skylah and my sister Jalysa got invited to attend Barbie's birthday party at McDonald's El Pueblo. They were among the 50 kids who got to join the party. It was so much fun! They got to bring home prizes and a barbie doll as well. They both joined all the party games. This is the party where I've seen Skylah had so much fun!

Before the party ended, I received a text message from Powerbooks that my Powercard is already available. Since we were near the area we decided to get my Powercard!

Good thing that I am feeling fine today with lesser pain in my throat.

I need to relax but I still have an event to attend to!

This time, the event is for me. My sis, our friend Rose and me, participated in Power Plant Mall's Weekend of Fitness. We took part in the Pulse Yoga class. It was just a 1-hour session but we all felt good afterwards. After the yoga class, we claimed our free pair of Havaianas! How's that for a great day? A free yoga class and a free flipflops as well!


This had been a great weekend after all. Blessings really comes in great ways. No matter how sick or tired I am, I had managed to be at all these events and accomplish what needs to be done. This just proves how important my health is and the happiness of my family.

Rockwell Powerplant Scavenger Hunt

We participated in Rockwell Powerplant Mall Scavenger Hunt. So great that we even got the chance to be included in the First 10 teams who pre-registered which had entitled us to receive a gift certificate from CIBO and exemption from 3 challenges!

Each team were given a Scavenger Hunt Kits containing the map of the R3 store. Our team is composed of me & Skylah, Omar & Brent, Ayie/Tela & Ekay, and Rose & Colai. We went to each store randomly and complete the challenges.

1. Q Power Station – look for a tag scattered around the place. Lucky if you get a bonus prize that contains a free power station card load… and we did! 2. Kidz Station – pick and answer the question related to toys and famous characters. We love this! Brent get to answer "Ben 10", his favorite character; and Colai get to answer "Optimus Prime", his favorite character as well!
3. Fun Rides – the challenge is similar to Q power station where you have look for a tag scattered around the place.

4. Build City – use the legos to build and spell your name

5. Powermac – find the location of the 6 Powermac logos

6. Tutoring Club – the kids get to answer the question given to them. The attendant had a hard time finding a question suitable for Brent who’s only 3 years old

7. Picture & Co. – the kids get to enter in the mini-tunnel-like entrance, squeeze the frog and find the cow inside the store
8. Cibo – burst a balloon and answer a question related to Cibo’s. We get to answer the size of Cibo's bread, the number of tables at Cibo and the number of chairs (this is hard!)9. Orange Juice – get to balance an orange in your head

10. Spin – get to balance a ball in your head
11. Lulubelle – our last stop: color the lulubelle mascot and claim your free yogurt!

We only need to complete 8 challenges, but since the kids are having fun we all decided to do all the 11 challenges! It was such a fun and exciting event. The kids get to claim their prize afterwards. Indeed, we all had a blast!
