Hi Mommsies!

Last September 28, 2014 Sunday. Metro Ayala Cebu was filled with energetic kids and supportive mommies and parents!

All are present to take part of the Season 2 Live Auditions for the Bonakid Preschool Ready Set Laban show of GMA.


Ayala Activity Center was filled with kiddie playground where all the kids had fun while waiting for the event to start as well as enjoy the moments with other kids there too!

I wish I did bring Adi with me that day as I knew he would surely have fun.

Among the set up included the FUN BOUNCE, PLAY HOUSE, HAPPY BOUNCE, MILK CORNER and PHOTOBOOTH.


 GMA Talents Regine Tolentino and Mikael Daez came all the way from Manila to Cebu to host the event =)

It was my first time seeing them in person and they all looked good and they were all very energetic.
I must say that they really did a great Job in making the event a successful one.

I am sure all the kiddos and moms here in Cebu did too as I was there to see their happy and excited faces.

Energetic kids and their supportive moms gamely took part in the ingenious games  (Happy Holen, Jack En Point, Drink It, Wear It, Win It and A Spoonful of Happiness).

Hi Momsies!

How are you all doin? I hope you are doing great as you are reading this post today.
I haven't posted for quite some time, so apologies for the blog hiatus.
Anyways, last Aug 30, 2014 (my 28th birthday) was also the grand opening of Maple in Cebu.
I was really excited when I got the invitation from them. ^_^
I was invited for their brunch opening contrary to most bloggers who were mostly invited over for dinner.

Here's a short history about Maple

Maple introduced its first store in 2012 in one of the city’s most discerning communities catering to the upper AB market, a quaint yet intimate place in San Antonio Plaza, Mckinley Road, Forbes Park, Makati City. 

Comfort by rewarding oneself is at the core of Maple menu. With a wide array of choices that build on flavors found in the coastal towns of America, Maple brings the best of elevated American comfort food on the tables of their three branches in selected posh areas in Metro Manila which has now found its way serving in the Queen City of the South located at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu. 

It quickly gained a solid base of loyal customers enjoying the unique menu of southwestern American cuisine complemented with high-value signature pancakes and waffles. At the center of their spread is the distinct flavor of maple syrup – the golden liquid that goes best with their most definitive comfort dish: Pancakes. But pancakes and waffles are not the only dishes where the flavor of maple syrup finds its place. Much of the restaurant’s list of popular American comfort food are also doused with the distinct taste of the golden liquid: From the comforting buns served at the start of every meal, right down to sweet endings such as Maple’s Bourbon Bread Pudding.

Maple features all-day breakfast favorites such as the Huevos Rancheros and a surprising entrée of gourmet Prime Rib Tapa, which a lot of diners agree on its unique take on the ubiquitous Filipino staple. Other choice flavors found in the coastal towns of America also add variety to the menu such as Spaetzle Jambalaya, Fish Tacos and Drippin’ Baby Back Ribs. Prepared by highly skilled chefs, Maple dishes are cooked only from the moment one orders – assuring diners of fresh, hot dishes that will elate the heart. To cap off an exemplary night, specially blended cocktail drinks and dishes can be enjoyed as they experience home away from home.

The place invokes a real magical vibe because of the feel of the place. Older patrons are sure to enjoy the soothing and relaxing ambience, and appreciate good music as they dine. The younger ones on the other hand, will find their own nook in a quaint play area with toys and books to entertain them as they wait for their meal.

Service staff pays extra attention to ensure that all guests; young and old, are transported to a new world of comfort they deserve – that magical experience which Maple aims to deliver.

The design and set up of the launching was really great. It was a Rustic theme inspired which really matched the restaurant's overall ambience

It was an awesome Sunday, August 03, 2014.
Adi is exactly 2 come 7 in the evening.

Those photos were taken at Jollibee Parkmall here in Cebu.
It was his first birthday party at Jollibee. =)
He loves jollibee and the spaghetti, I love that he is such an energetic and hyper little boy.
Being his mom is a bit challenging, yeah.

But for once, I knew I had to do it.
I knew that for such a little time away from work cuddling him is the most precious thing to do.

after all, it is not always everyday that we splurge on events like this.
One thing I missed is that I haven't even lit a candle up for the church. One thing I will surely need to do today.

To celebrate my son's birthday is such an exhilarating and exciting one.
I'd love to see the smile on everyone's faces and that sure is what mothers like me wanted.

To celebrate our children's life.
To celebrate our being a mom a parent.

I know i will never get old seeing him like this.
never at one point regret the money spent but forever treasure the memories.

here at the roadside watching for the Ironman Triathlon at 7 in the morning =)
