MAGNUM: My First Bite
Tuesday, July 10
First saw this product being so popular on twitter by some celebrity I was following. Pictures on instagram always keeps me wondering what this ice cream sort of tastes or differ from the ones already out in the market. I'm a huge fan of Cornetto which I believe right now is a big no-no for me, being pregnant can give you those unsightly feelings of craving no one else could ever put out upon but believe me I ate this one and gave my first bite as soon as one of my office mates brought one during the baby shower they gave me.. hehe. Now that's a certified cheat day, huh? no to sweets but then I consumed it all. As far as my tastebuds are concern, this Magnum in almond is just about the same taste of chocolate one can get on the affordable ones out there. Mind you these choco indulgence thingy is a bit pricey and can already by you two sets of Cornetto at your own flavor of choice. So, then it was free given by my officemate which make it more delictable and enticing to eat. hehe... For the purpose of this blog I came out with some photos of it as a proof .. :) Take a look.
My Hospital Maternity Package
Maternity Packages for hospitals in Cebu has been of great use and help especially for mothers on a financial strife. Here in Cebu some of the hospitals I know that offer these are the following:
- Cebu Doctor's University Hospital
- Chong Hua
- Cebu Maternity and Puericulture Hospital
- Sacred Heart Hospital
- Mactan Doctor's Hospital
- North General Hospital
- Velez Hospital
- Perpetual Succour Hospital
I opted for the one in Perpetual since the facility is only a minute away from my office. As I had my first prenatal check up for the maternity package at Perpetual Succour Hospital here in Cebu, I knew that I had to go through a lot especially with processing of the requirements. Below is their requirements for enrolling in their Maternity package:

It was a rather great opportunity and privileged for me but as soon as I got regularized from my current company I opted for a private doctor to be able to avail of my insurance medical benefits.
Anyway, I hope this post helped you with your search.

Reads: The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks
Friday, July 6
It's been a long time since I read novels way back in highschool and so when I got pregnant I had no time to go out to hang out since it's pretty tiresome having to carry the baby with in my tummy as I stroll along.
I found this new alternative for my free time. And so I was back again to reading... hehe.
I'm not really that of a bookworm but I love reading some really good novels, especially this one from Nicholas Sparks. It was my first time to buy a brand new book for the sake of reading since I was used to borrowing some from my cousin who happens to be in Singapore today.
So, I spent PHP315 on this item not bad for a good book.

The back with the Synopis (click on the image to view)
I wasn't wrong, this book is really worth the buy. It got me hooked that it's the first thing I read early morning when I wake up haha! The characters are so real and the love story keeps me going to read it more and more. I haven't finished it yet but as soon as I am done, i'll post my first ever book review here. ;)
Anyways, here is the site for more Nicholas Sparks Books and reviews! Enjoy!
