Holy Week

I mentioned in a previous post that I would use my Holy Week Thursday to rest and blog, but sadly, I woke up on Wednesday with colds. We spent Tuesday in the heat, distributing and selling food at Montemaria at Tagaytay, and it got to us on Wednesday. I shoved it off because I still had a pile of paperwork to take care for for our events on Thursday, Saturday and Easter Sunday. But come Thursday, I SLEPT THE WHOLE DAY! =P Which I guess is for the best, because on Friday I had enough energy to... go back to work. Oh well. At least we were able to watch some DVDs!
J watched the Breakfast Club for the very first time. In the end, he was like, "I don't get it". Hahahahha!



There were soooooo many vacation photos, beach photos on my IG and FB. Kainggit!! But I didn't feel so bad, because I knew that it was a blessing to have work on Holy Week. We visited Kat, and thanked her and God for all the work and clients.

Enjoying the program of Acacia
The kids went to Tagaytay Highlands with my side of the family (without us!), but they came back on Friday, just in time for us to buy them bikes. We spent the afternoon biking on our street as a family. Then on Easter we brought them with us to our Acacia Easter event. It was one of those rare opportunities that we could tot them with us to work! Happy happy.

I guess our Holy Week is a far cry from the regular vacations people usually have, but I'm still happy. We were able to confirm with 5 hotels for Easter, which is a lot. And with our work, we can always choose our time to have our vacations, away from the maddening crowds and crazy on-season rates. Hope you all enjoyed your Holy Week!

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.

Calcium Supplements for Breastfeeding Moms

Image
Often times breastfeeding moms forget to take the necessary vitamins since they're so tired or distracted.  However, taking of calcium is so so important. Your body depletes your calcium stores during pregnancy, and  some more during breastfeeding. I personally take Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Aid) by Bayer because I prefer gel capsules over tablets. The recommended dose is 1000mg, but if you're a young mom (14-18 years old) the recommended dose is 1,300 since you are also still building your bones. Calci-Aid is 500mg per capsule, so I take two a day. You can get calcium from a well-rounded diet, but I don't take chances since with out schedule, I don't get to monitor my vitamin intake. Since I don't drink cow's milk (since some of the babies I donate to are allergic to the protein of cow's milk), taking calcium supplements are important everyday. I've heard of some moms who suddenly feel weak, like their bones hurt, and their doctors tell them it's
