Lock&Lock's "National Pa-Baon Month"

It took my sister, Ate Joy of www.occasionsofjoy.com long years to persuade me in creating and publishing my own blog. I created several  blog accounts before, but I quickly lost interest in updating it or not really posting anything at all. So this time, I told her I’d be serious and follow her footsteps. After all, she made herself quite famous by blogging just about anything that comes into her mind! Hehehe!

At first, I wasn’t that interested since I was working and does not have the time to really sit down and write something. This time however,  I decided that I will start blogging to maximize my time and keep myself busy since I have stopped working and currently (and proudly!) a stay-at-home mommy since 2014.

Finally last week, I attended global brand Lock&Lock, a leader in food container technology, as they declare June 2016 as their first “National Pa-baon Month”. As a mom, this is very applicable since I have a 5th grader who brings her own baon to school. The launch was held at the Linden Suites last May 28 and we were welcomed by Mr. Raphael Chua, President of Sawasdee Marketing Corporation, distributors of Lock&Lock, familia, Tickles and Nutcase in the country.


The theme of the event is “pa-baon” or as we call today as packed lunch. This topic is relevant since this generation has the highest ratio of both parents working, which means that there is less time for preparing healthy meals for the kids. I must admit that I’m also sometimes guilty of this especially if I have deadlines for projects or simply tinatamad. It’s becoming a norm for parents to just give our kids money to spend on their lunch instead of making sure they eat healthy food at school.  The result is the alarming numbers of overweight or obese children ranging from 5 – 19 years old who are in danger of developing diseases linked with obesity at an early age.

It was eye-opening after a dietician discussed the risks of obesity to our kids. Bento momma added a fun-filled and educational activity for us by teaching us how to prepare an appealing, fast and easy baon or in Japanese term, “bento” for our kids. Our creativity was even tested when we were informed that there would be a prize for the most hello kitty bento look-a-like!

To sum it up, I had the best time attending Lock&Lock’s National Pa-baon Month event. With the quality, design and durability of Lock&Lock, bento making for my daughter and partner has become easier and fun!

 Finished product, Hello Kitty it is!

Celeb for a Day

Being a mom is rewarding and hard.  More often, we neglect our own selves because we always have to put our families before us. There are mommies who juggles family and career at the same time. Stay-at-home moms who focus in taking care of the family and household chores. Mommies who are working at home, doing online business, direct-selling, by appointment businesses like Financial Planners. Single-mothers who are both mom/dad and the breadwinner of the family. The list goes on. For every family, there is a unique kind of supermoms. I felt ecstatic when Waldy told me that I was one of the 5 chosen moms who will get a make over from SM Woman. He nominated me for SM Supermom Makeover and got picked out of more than 500 nominees. It was awesome!  I got a small glimpse of what celebrities and hosts do in photo and video shoots. We had before and after pictorial, professional make up artist and a professional stylist, Levenson Rodriguez to give us a day of transfo...

Lily's Peanut Butter in Lite Version

I grew up eating Lily's Peanut Butter so I'm happy that there's a lite version now for older people like me.  People are becoming more and more aware of the health value of the things they eat and drink. And by the looks of things, this emphasis on health is becoming more than just a simple fad; health consciousness is here to stay. Lily’s Peanut Butter, already 60 years in the industry, saw this rise in health consciousness, and has adapted accordingly through the peanut butter that has become a staple of many a Filipino household. After more than half a century of winning Filipino palates, Newborn Food Products Inc., the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite, last August 14 at the Lily’s Lite in the City event, held at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. The whole-day event, hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor-model CJ Reyes, and singer-model John Pol Dimaculanga...
