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!

Bing Loyzaga's Journey with Marie France

It was my privilege to be a part of an intimate meet and greet with Bing Loyzaga especially because the event was an intimate interview with Bing. (All photos courtesy of Occasions of Joy ) Bing has had her share of ups and downs when it comes to her weight, especially being in an industry that constantly expects one to look good and be in great shape. So in her late 30s, she had liposuction done on her arms and legs. “When you see yourself in the mirror at home after the procedure, yes you're thin. But when I removed the bandages, I saw myself with cuts and bruises. That's when I cried and felt like I betrayed myself. Sinaktan ko ang sarili ko.” Her daughters Alyssa and Gabby were with her as she recovered, tending her wounds and changing her bandages. “After I had the procedure done, my daughters made me promise not to go under the knife again.” Unfortunately, she gained back the weight. To make matters worse, she was recently diagnosed with hypothyroi...

Bubbleman Dishwasher: Gentle on skin

Having a sensitive skin is such a pain. Ang hirap humanap ng products that would suit my skin. When I became a full-time housewife, doon ko nalaman kung gaano kahirap lalo na kapag hugas ako ng hugas ng mga pinagkainan. I had a hard time looking for a dishwasher that is both budget-friendly, effective sa pagtanggal ng mga dumi at sebo and skin-friendly. Last year, mga December ito. Ate Joy gave us 1 bottle to use. I'm amazed dahil hindi nangati yun skin ko sa hand after using it. Imagine, everytime ako maghuhugas ng pinggan, kailangan kong mag-gloves! So when I read sa label na it's gentle on skin, I tried using it without gloves just to prove kung gentle nga ba sya. Natuwa naman ako kasi hindi nag-react yun maarte kong skin after kong maghugas. At dahil natuwa ako ng todo, ginamit ko na din sya panlinis ng ref namin, mga surfaces ng kitchen area, mga tulo ng drinks ni Yuri sa floor. I like the fact na effective itong ipanlinis aside sa plates and utensils, pero pwede din ...
