Family outing will always be a fun bonding activity with our love ones. I really enjoyed our 3 day staycation at Estancia. Not every day we have chance to be with them because of work and other stuff. My extended family lives in Cavite while me, my mom and my sister lives in Manila, so this is a perfect time to bond with them. I grew up in Cavite with my grandparents, that’s why I am their favorite grandchild. Joke. Hahaha (assuming?) Anyways, we had a great time spending time with each other. We should not neglect our families. We should spend time with them every chance we have. Friends come and go but our family will always be there no matter what. 

Me and my sister doing the selfies shot in the mirror. haha

The sky shining on us. This is the time we arrived at Our Lady of Monte Maria, Alfonso, Cavite.

This is it. Instead of having Visita Iglesia, we just visited one (1) Church and it is here at 

Our Lady Monte Maria.

Many people visited the Church too.

The path to the station of the cross. The hard way. haha

Look at life size Station of the Cross 

Another Station. The Crucifixion.

Just took a photo of a random tree. It looks like the Hundred Acre Wood. haha

Mother’s Day is all about commemorating moms everywhere and celebrating their love, kindness and inspiration. It is a time for thoughtful gifts, cheerful family gatherings and unique ways of showing them how much their kids care. It also serves as a reminder about the less fortunate children who grow up without devoted mothers, and urge kind souls to do their share to help.

This Mother’s Day, the Philippines’ online shopping mall LAZADA is teaming up with World Vision, the international community development organization, to improve the lives of underprivileged children across the country through special Mother’s Day gift cards. These limited series World Vision Mother’s Day gift cards are available for P600 until May 20 at www.lazada.com.ph/worldvision .

“When you purchase this World Vision Mother’s Day card, a donation in her name will be made in honor of your mother,” said Jun Godornes, Associate Director of World Vision. “This donation will go to World Vision’s Child sponsorship program that enables children from a poor community to be educated, cared for and protected against poverty and injustice.”

Since its inception, LAZADA has become the number one destination for online shopping and gift inspirations in the Philippines. With over 20,000 products ranging from consumer electronics, gadgets, home and living, clothing and accessories, this leading one-stop online shop caters to all lifestyles and tastes. It is known for its flexible payment terms, such as cash on delivery and credit card payments, and offers free shipping for purchases above P1,000, seven-day return policy, and excellent customer service.

For more than 55 years, World Vision has been committed to eliminating poverty and its root causes, uplifting the lives of more than 100,000 Filipino children every year. Many more, however, are still in need of aid. “Adding the Mother’s Day gift card to your order will not only put a smile on the sponsored child’s face, but will also tug at the heartstrings of any mother,” said LAZADA’s Vice-President for Marketing Paul Mendoza.

Getting these special Mother’s Day gift cards serves as an initial step to the exciting journey of being a World Vision Child sponsor and making an indelible change in a child’s life. To sign up as a sponsor, one merely has to reply with the code inside the Mother’s Day gift card.

I have been buying a lot of great finds on the internet. Some of the things I bought are rare and hard to find in the mall. I can say the first thing about buying a product is to look at the feedback of the other users who bought to the seller. In this way, you can avoid the scammers and prevent having a bad experience. Always make sure you are dealing with the right person.

For the couple of days, I have been searching for a good and an affordable tablet. Then I found this, The New Haipad Anaconda Edition 7" Android 4.0 Dual Cam 4GB with Wifi on Lazada site. It’s really affordable. It is only 3k ++. If you don’t want to splurge on buying gadgets for your special someone or for your kids I think this will be the best birthday or mother’s day gift. I am sure they will jump for joy if you give this to them. If you don’t want to give it to other people save it for yourself. 

It is so portable you can bring it and use it everywhere.

Out of the box!

Look how vivid the graphics for a very affordable tablet. 

You can play angry birds too and a lot of games.

I like how slick and elegant the details of this tablet. 

It is easy to hold and perfect if you are always on the go.

I might be late for publishing this post but no one can stop me from expressing my enthusiasm to be part of Sample Room’s Blogger Circle. Yes! If there’s a will there will always be a way. I am hoping they will still consider my post. Why should they? Because… 

I have been blogging for almost I think more than 5 years but this blog is turning 4 years old this May. (My baby is growing up so fast. hehehe) I might not be the best blogger in town but I will always make sure I am doing my best to blog about my thoughts, experiences or emotions towards certain products, events or situation. I will be brutally honest and truth will prevail but of course in a not-harsh-manner. I am not a certified beauty blogger, but I am kikay as a beauty blogger. I love trying new products and sharing my thoughts thru my blog. Moreover, Sample Room will be the best solution for trying certain products that is out of the market without splurging too much on trying new things. They help us decide whether it is yay or nay for us. I want to help Sample Room to spread the word about the latest products and innovations on hair care, skin care, body care, fragrance, cosmetics, tools, health, slimming and lifestyle. I also want to help the ladies out there on buying the right product/s for them. Let’s choose the right products for our body to maintain our youthfulness and beauty inside and out. 

Plus I really really want to be part of this Blogger’s Circle because I want to be one of the first people to try the new products on their site. They are one of the reliable sites I have known. And of course the perks:
