Last Friday was the last day of Ykaie’s Exam, woohooo!!! And one of the things we did to unwind and relax was to attend the Grand Launch of SM Street Food Festival 2018 at the SM Mall of Asia.

#SMStreetFoodFestival is the biggest street food festival brought to us by SM Hypermarket. It is now on its third year of showcasing not only our favorite street food but also the hottest promos and the biggest celebrities plus games and prizes for all attendees.

The event featured over 50 food stalls of mouthwatering streetfoods…

Of course my favorites were the pork barbecue, isaw, betamax, grilled tenga ng baboy, and grilled liempo. Ykaie’s favorites were also there like chicharong bulaklak, crispy chicken skin, and crispy crablets.

They also have balot, penoy, different kinds of kakanins, nilagang mais, saging na saba, ilocos empanada, takoyaki, leche flan, halaya; different kinds of ulam like tortang talong, lechon, and lumpiang shanghai and a lot more. SM Eats famous Turon is also there along side their other products like kwek-kwek, ginatang bilo-bilo, lumpiang togue, siopao sarap, and soft-serve Ube ice cream.

The different stalls scattered on the side also feaured fun activities, games and prizes. They also have different promos. Some of the promos they have included Buy 1 Pack Magnolia 3-Way chicken and get 4 pcs Cage-Free Eggs for FREE and Buy 2 Packs of Joy Dishwashing Liquid and Get 1 Bottle of SM Bonus Cooking Oil.

Baby Zoey Farah, First Good Luck Baby Born Inside Fun Ranch

October 7, 2017 / Filed Under: Christianity, Events

Sa wakas! Nakumpleto rin ang Kumares!

I think that was what we were all thinking about last October 1, 2017 when we attended a Christening. (Yes. Binyag. kumareng-kumare kaming apat!).

Of course we wouldn’t miss this event! It was the christening of Baby Zoey Farah Espinoza, the first good luck baby born inside Fun Ranch.

Before we go to the christening part, let me share with you her amazing birth story.

For mommy Joy Espinoza, it was just a normal day of going to the doctor and routine check-up then joining her family in celebrating her niece’s birthday at Fun Ranch Pampanga.

She gave birth to Baby Zoey during a visit to the ladies’ room of Fun Ranch last August 12, 2017.

According to her “My husband noticed the number of times I visited the ladies’ room in less than an hour since we arrived. I put it aside thinking that it was normal for a pregnant lady to frequently visit the bathroom. On my fourth visit, I felt the baby coming out and caught it by myself. Two kids happened to enter the ladies’ room, and I asked them for help.”

The nurse-on-duty and staff of Fun Ranch responded to the emergency and found the mom with her newborn baby.

If you were wondering if how was she able to deliver her baby and if she experienced any sudden labor pains…

Joy further related, “I used to work as a Nurse Aide, and I know how to catch a baby. I never imagined though that the day will come when I’d do it to my own child. My due date was really August 29, and on August 12, I went to my doctor for a routine check-up in the morning. There were no signs that I would give birth that day. I did not feel any labor pains or contractions. That’s why I decided to join my family in celebrating my niece’s birthday at Fun Ranch Pampanga.”

Mommies, I know you can’t relate kasi ang sakit mag-labor, diba?. Can you imagine not feeling any labor pains and contractions… just the baby coming out? And ang galing ni mommy Joy for having presence of mind while delivering her baby.

This is Baby Zoey Farah… ang cute-cute nya no? Her first name Zoey was given by her parents and her second name, well, it was one of the suggested name by netizens who immediately learned about Zoey’s birth through social media. “Farah” is a a combination of the words Fun and Ranch.

Zoey Farah is the first baby to be born inside Fun Ranch, and management believes in the old adage that her birth will bring good luck. Fun Ranch is happy to sponsor baby Zoey’s baptismal reception, and she will be given “free unlimited play” in all Fun Ranch branches until the age of 12.

Her Christening took place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Fernando. Family and friends joined her and her family to welcome Baby Zoey Farah in the Christian World.

After the Christening, we immediately went to Fun Ranch Pampanga for the the baptismal reception which was held at the Festival Room.

Ms. Ana May Del Rosario hosted the event.

Beef Mechado, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Pork Barbecue

Fired Chicken with Gravy, Pancit Canton, Fresh Fruits

The food was delicious! I love Fun Ranch Pancit Canton.

The giveaways were Fun Ranch Mini pillows and Chocolate Cake

The reception ended with the Fun Ranch Mascots dancing to Baby Shark and the kids going to the play area.

Sanicare Hygiene Care Circle + First Brand Ambassador

August 6, 2017 / Filed Under: Events, hygiene, Product Feature

Sanicare has been a part of our lives for more three years now. I’ve been a fan of the Sanicare 2ply Bathroom Tissue line which is upsized by 10%. I feel like it’s really sulit because it’s upsized by 10% which means more paper for the same price! And the Kitchen Jumbo Towel.

When we had Twinkle, I discovered Sanicare Baby Wipes and Cleansing Wipes — I love them because they’re safe to use on our babies. Then the rest is history and we’ve come to depend on Sanicare when it comes to our baby Twinkle’s needs. Even if you ask peanutbutter♥, he’ll tell you that Sanicare is The Perfect Hygiene Partner.

Last July 25, 2017 was one of the many firsts for Sanicare as they gathered the country’s top mom bloggers to talk about cleanliness and hygiene for the family in an event dubbed as the Sanicare Hygiene Care Circle event. It was held at The Makati Diamond Residences.

The highlight of the event is of course the launch of Sanicare’s First Brand Ambassador – host and mom Bianca Gonzales-Intal.

During the event, we were able to learn about different hygiene hacks and the different lines of Sanicare products beginning with Sarah Tirona and the Baby Care station. Since I have a baby, I already know all about the Sanicare Baby Underpads and I couldn’t be happier now that it is out in the market.
