Free Organizers for Your Home

There are planners aplenty to help us organize various aspects of our life. I use both an online organizer and a printed one. It helps me to stay organized and can also show your progress with task and goals you have assigned yourself. I have an online calendar which I can easily refer to since I’m always online. My printed one is for other areas that aren’t immediate. I’ve been wanting to get every aspect of my life organized somehow and sometimes it can be overwhelming. There’s so much to organize, from my home to my blog, to my...

League of Legends: Summoner School

Video games are normally not my cup of tea but my son has taken an interest in a game called League of Legends. In several instances he has surprised me with knowledge that I wouldn’t have thought he’d known yet and when I asked where he learned it, he would say “League of Legends, see mom? I learn from playing.” I was given an opportunity to review Summoner School a comprehensive training course for LOL (popular reference to the game) players. It was a great chance to include my son in doing a review while he also gets a chance...

My First Winning Contest Experience (and hopefully not my last!)

I’m not one of those people that wins things. I can count on one hand things that I have won (being a mountain bike, fruit basket and this!) My first winning contest experience was not what I expected. I had entered a simple Facebook contest where you tell Glam-O-Mamas why you should win the prize. Here’s my winning entry. I didn’t know I had won until I was sent a personal message on Facebook but when I did find out I was ecstatic! The prize was a spa trip to Facial Care Centre. It was great to finally win something. I join giveaways and contests when I can but the competition is fierce! The downside was that I didn’t receive my prize until 2 months and 2 days later. I wasn’t too irritated about it because I had after all won a contest. Although as time was passing on I started to wonder if I would ever receive my prize. What’s nice about the whole situation is that Facial Care Centre and Glam-O-Mamas kept in touch with me and didn’t brush me off. I received, emails, text messages and personal messages on Facebook updating me. I finally received my prize and it was personally delivered by one of Amanda Griffin-Jacob’s assistants. Amanda is the brains and beauty behind Glam-O-Mamas. I’m grateful for the prize and will be sharing my...

Fun Ranch- Ortigas

If you’ve read through my blog you’ll know that I love a good deal. After visiting the Ark Avilon Zoo we headed over to Fun Ranch- Ortigas to use the Ride-All-You-Can voucher I had bought for our youngest son. He had a great time at the zoo and an even greater time at Fun Ranch. I was lucky to come across the voucher on Deal Grocer where the ride-all-you-can pass was only Php170.00 (valued at Php340.00). He didn’t get to ride all the rides because he’s just 3 years old but he did get to ride his favorite the Carousel although after riding the Red Baron Plane Ride I think that’s his new favorite ride. Kuya Bastian and Ate Kianna escorted Jael on the rides as a companion was a requirement. They rode the rides for free being companions but I think they also enjoyed it! We had only been to Fun Ranch once before when our 2 older kids were younger but it seems that not alot has changed. There are about 12 rides there and a few shops to visit. Aside from the food carts the only other place to eat is at the Big Red Barn. So if you’re making a trip there it’s really just for the rides. When we asked our son if he had fun he yelled Yes! which made our day. I took a...

Ark Avilon Zoo

My youngest son loves animals! He’s at that stage where all animals fascinate him. He even has a collection of animals so when I found a Metro Deal voucher for Ark Avilon Zoo at Frontera Verde Ortigas Ave I grabbed it and bought 5 for us to use on his birthday. I got up to 50% off (Php199.00) each voucher (Php400.00 value per voucher). I also got a deal on a Fun Ranch Ride-All-You-Can-Pass to use on the same day! They have a good selection of animals although not as varied as I would have liked but of course I...
