Father & Son Bonding and a B-Daman Tournament

I love it when my boys spend time together.

Team Orange left the house bright and early to spend the day at Mega Mall.

Team Orange left the house bright and early to spend the day at Mega Mall.

This past Saturday the boys had a whole day planned to spend with their father. They wanted to go to this Crossfight B-Daman tournament that they saw details for on tv, so they urged their dad to attend the competition in Megamall for the weeks leading up to the event. (Of course, they had planned for lunch at their favorite restaurant too…YABU!)

50 participants showed up ready to BATTLE!

When they arrived there was a line of 50 kids waiting to compete against each other. With a turn out as large as this, there was surely going to be a ton of competition. Nino texted me and said that the boys would need to modify their equipment if they were going to be able to keep up, so they each added a new feed to their B-Damans and then they were ready to compete.

 

During the first round, contestants were challenged to knock over the obstacles by passing their B-Damas through the orange gate in a given amount of time.

During the first round, contestants were challenged to knock over the obstacles by passing their B-Damas through the orange gate in a given amount of time.

Each round had them competing against one kid who measured up in height. The winner would wear a tag to signify that he was going on to the next round.

Both boys made it through the first round to go onto the second.

Then they would line up again and get ready for the second round. During the second round you had to aim your B-Damas at the obstacle in the middle and the first one to push the obstacle all the way to the opponents goal line would move on to the second round.

When you win, you take your opponents tag moving up to the next round.

Unfortunately, Mig didn’t make it to the third round.

This one was pretty hard. With multiple targets you had to clear them all to try and beat your opponent.

Diego made it all the way to the fourth round, after which they drew straws for the semi finals.

Kuya was super happy to support Diego since he was the only one from Team Orange still fighting!

In the end, Diego was able to fight for his BRONZE medal with is Kuya and his Dad (biggest fan) cheering him on.

2nd Place: Jabez
3rd Place: Diego

It was a great day for the whole family! The boys had precious bonding time with their dad while creating memories that they will have forever. The girls enjoyed quiet time at home, where this Momma was able to catch up on some work, AND clean up around the house. Gia even got to bake some pumpkin cookies too!

      Oh Kaye, it’s so hard to keep up with all the toys! It doesn’t help that the tv show on Disney says “COLLECT THEM ALL!” *sigh* And they just keep coming out with more and more characters and accessories for these things. Anyway, I’m sure the kids will join another tournament because they had so much fun with their Dad for this one. Diego won a tshirt and his medal. He wore the tshirt the very next day and the medal only came off his neck this morning before he went to school. (I did tell him, he absolutely could NOT sleep with it around his neck for fear he might choke in his sleep.)

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
