My mom is an avid fan of Pacquiao and as soon as February stepped in, she has been getting me to assure her that she will be able to watch the fight of her favorite boxer against Joshua Clottey. During Pacquiao’s fight against Cotto we were able to watch via this SopCast channel which I no longer have an access to.

My son and I went on a playdate with other mommy bloggers and our kids, at Active Fun SM North Annex, late this afternoon. Too bad the other mommies got caught in the terrible Metro traffic that was brought about by the most anticipated long weekend. My son had no less than 3 hours of fun, to say the least. And if I wouldn’t call it a day, he wouldn’t have left the place at all. Putting it simply, it is a child’s wonderland.

My little guy and I had a wonderful date last night asTriNoma unveiled its very own Digital 3D Cinemavia its newly upgraded Cinema 4 created by no less than Dolby ® the global leader in movie technologies. It would have been sweeter it the hubby was able to join us but he had to teach a couple of classes over at the Bible school. But we enjoyed the special screening of Ice Age 3 just the same.
Special thanks to Geiser Maclang for the invites! You sure made my 4 year old guy one thrilled boy. It was a school night all right, but it did not get in the way especially so that we are home schooling. There was no way we could miss this, this little guy that we have loves both installments of Ice Age and there is just no better way to watch the third one than via Dolby’s surround system and TriNoma’s plush Digital 3D Cinema.

In less than a month, our family will fly to the Boracay island to have our well deserved vacation. The little guy has prepared his bag of must haves (goggles, stuff to help him make sand castles, trunks, floaties and lifesaver). It would have been neater if we had him enrolled in swimming class for toddlers, I’m sure it would spare us a lot of warming up time in the water. It was when he was barely a year old when he first experienced the beach. He was so okay with the water. But I guess as a baby grows up and learn about the dangers of the world, he gets to realize the possibility of bad things that can happen.
Well, it can also be that we seldom go to the beach or to the pool for a swim. The last time was last year when our church family went to a resort in Boso-Boso. My little guy was afraid even with his lifesaver on. As for me, I should definitely get back to shape. Otherwise none of my bathing suits will fit me anymore. A couple of weeks back, I had my first ever body wraps slimming treatment. Read the rest of this entry »

It has been weeks since the weather has been especially cruel. It went to a point that doing a minor chore became exhausting. To give you a better picture, the moment I step out of the bath, without the chance of wiping myself dry, is the time that sweat breaks off my pores. I swear, I could have thought I was having hot flashes!
It was especially hard for me, because juggling multiple tasks alone is not easy in itself. The past weeks, weather was incredibly humid. There was even a heat stroke incident my little guy had to go through. I still count my blessings amidst the crisis, but weather was really that crazy.
Thank God for the rains! It was what we needed. We actually did not have to turn on the air conditioning unit last night, when we almost had it on, 24/7 in the past days. We are really grateful. It would certainly make watching from amongst the extensive Dish network deals more fun. I was just chatting with a friend who works for Dish network and she raves about all this Dish network offers. Too bad we don’t have any similar local cable company like it. This is why we terminated the service of our former provider.
Meanwhile, we rely on the internet for our weekly dose of episodes of our favorite series, 24, Heroes and Prisonbreak. The weather is really conducive that I had to ask permission from the hubs if I could watch them without him. We always watch the episodes together. I am so going to tease him with spoilers. Teehee! Just kidding. This is when I sign off and sit back to watch. Till later!

As tiring as Sundays are always for us, especially for Jeff (he preaches all day long during Sundays, three times to be exact), today is really a fruitful and blessed day for us. Our hearts are filled with joy as we see the core of our church family getting serious in nurturing their relationship with Christ.
It has been close to a month now that the core group has been meeting every single day for daily devotions. My heart is more than pleased that a door has been opened for yet another cell group in the community. We aren’t multiplying exponentially just yet (church attendance wise), the Lord is clearly more interested in working on the foundation, our core group. The contagious fire is ongoing and this alone is a testament of the Lord’s hand upon Sumulong Baptist Church-Makati.
Jeff will be extremely busy the next couple of weeks working on some logistics for the upcoming Call of Duty. Meanwhile, we plan to enjoy our family day tomorrow. We have lined up some family activities and watch a movie and maybe a couple tv series.
We look forward to watching the installments of Heroes and 24 – our weekly fix. I have read that Satellite TV San Francisco delivers and I’m sure if we had the same kind of service, we can actually watch the episodes spontaneously as it is shown on FOX. But for now since we do not have the same service available like that of San Francisco Satellite Television, we plan to watch Freedom Writers on Monday and wait until Tuesday night to be able to watch 24 and Heroes. You might want to check San Francisco satellite tv for info on their packages, for as low as $9.99/mo. Meanwhile, the hubs and I are looking forward to watch what will come out President Taylor’s negotiation with the terrorist on 24.

The hubby and I were married three years before we were blessed with a son. During those first years of married bliss one of the favorite things we enjoyed doing together is going to the spa. We hope to be able to try out the Spa Couples package from BlueWater Day Spa. It has been a while since we indulged in this type of royalty treatment. After having heard of countless BlueWater Day Spa recommendations, I just know it’s on top of our to have list.
Truth be told, working from home can be the most stressful of all jobs. First, I cannot really shut my child out, in the middle of work, when he asks for attention. I try my best to have him understand that mama is working, but it can be a challenge. I have learned to device ways to juggle the things I do from my work as a web content writer, to the toddler I have to take care of and teach, things that I do in between and back again to the endless cycle. One thing for sure, one has got to have strong intrinsic motivators to be able to do what I do.
This is why a spa will be a treat I would like to have every so often. A Vitalift (Flash Beauty Treatment) will also be a sweet indulgence. I am not much of a fan of invasive procedures, so this the one that I will ever go through when it comes to facials. I’m sure that will be review worthy that I will post live via my beauty blog – KikayCorner.net
Now that BlueWater Day Spa Capitol Hills branch is open, I will be the most thrilled to drag the hubs with me one of these days and just soak ourselves in treatments fit for a queen and her king.

The hubby and I have just finished watching the latest episode of 24’s Season 7. It is our weekly fix. As expected, the plot just got thicker as it reaches its last few episodes. Next week will be the last two episodes for this season and both will be shown on the same day. What fun!
Â
In episode 10, Dubaku’s team’s cover was exposed by the ever so genius Chloe O’Brian. Boy, do I just love her! Her being all straight forward and weird sure make her a darling. We saw her bloom from the previous seasons. The moles inside the inside the FBI were revealed despite their attempt to reformat the main drive because of her.
Â
Towards the end of that episode, Tony Almeida revealed to Jack Bauer that it isn’t over yet and another attack is upcoming. Apparently, the very Senator who has him under trial is one of the conspirators inside the government. We see from this trailer that the White House itself will be the target. How they will all come out of it, we will find out in a week’s time. We should also find out how the first Gentleman would do after the surgery. It’s a two hour special. Jumba will threaten to kill President Taylor. Critical consequences will come of Jack Bauer’s uncovering of the masks of the conspirators. This next high impact terror will sure to glue you to your seats for two straight hours. I can’t wait!

I don’t know about you but my little guy and I loved the web premier of the sproutwells that we first saw last week. We actually have to search for more episodes via YouTube. It was a thrill especially for my little guy when we viewed its sequel where their little dog who they named Phyto came into the picture.
You could have guessed that I would choose Ruby Red as my favorite character in a heartbeat, the vegetable fashionista character. While my son loves Phyto. This dog character is as restless as he is! lol! 
Enjoy as you watch this clip and maybe even share the link to friends.

“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?Ô
This is the message I sent to the universe at OperationImmortality.com which, according to the site will be archived in the Immortality Drive being sent into space in October, together with all other messages posted before the end of August this year.
I chose this motto, which you can check using my message ID which is 471, because this is the truth, uttered by a great man named Jesus, who claimed, both directly and indirectly, claimed to be immortal and to be God. He was tortured and killed for these claims but His resurrection backed His claims and the world was never the same again.
By His grace I try my best for this truth to be witnessed in my life. Having chosen a profession based on a calling and not on any other temporal reason I try to live this truth and encourage others to take a step back and look at their lives in light of this truth.
I encourage you to use the message ID above to check this motto out at OperationImmortality.com special campaign Operation Immortality: Leave your mark. Save Humanity.You can also try to leave your own message to the universe.

We have yet to meet anyone who does not like the idea of an “all you can eat” promo. More than just getting your money’s worth, it is definitely fun to know you can have more than the regular stuff allowed for a certain budget. And what do you know, this does not just apply to foodies but to music lovers as well, like the hubby and me!
There is a site who will give you just that, download all you can destination of all the MP3’s and ringtones you like, all with CD quality sound- legally. Seriously! This site is actually endorsed by all major record companies. Goodbye to piracy, people! This one is for real. Go check it out for yourself and point your browser to Altnet and sign in for the Free 7 Day Trial and while you’re at it do all the downloading you want, the sky’s the limit!

As we open up the church during weekdays as Jive Youth Center, we hope to more than just do some scholarly tutorials, have them play table tennis and darts, or even make the place available for them to hang out in. We also hope to connect with them, even as we placed key people to be in charge of the center. We hope to get the message across that they belong and we want to connect with them.
The hubby recently just found a site to download movies wherein we could get a hold of good, clean and fun films that can be of entertainment for the middle school students who will swing by the center. Read the rest of this entry »

Lately, my son and I have been watching lots of animated movies such as Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Cars which is his favorite. My wife recently downloaded some extra videos of Jed’s favorite movie and it is about Mater, Lightning McQueen’s companion, and the ghost light. The beginning of that short movie contains a background music of some country music which sounds really nice and kind of relaxing and laid back.
A good source of music in this genre is HDRadio.com. Country music lovers can listen to new country music stations all around US or particular Florida High Definition Radio stations. HD Radio is not like satellite radio. It is a ground antenna based radio or simply a digital version of FM and AM. If you listen with a Polk Audio I-sonic ES2 you can even “tag†the songs that you like in your iPod and then download and buy the songs from the iTunes music store at a later time when you sync your iPod to your laptop or PC.
