Events

Mother’s Day Weekend 2018

For those of us who write or blog about “mom stuff,” Mother’s Day weekend can get kinda crazy if we let it. I mean there are just so many events and fun things to do with the family, that it’s really hard to choose where to spend your time! 

Truly, there are not enough hours in the day, or days in the weekend this weekend!!!

I have compiled this list of different things to do in The Metro, so that you can choose what is in your area and fits the kids interests, while providing time for you to relax, have fun, and unwind.

MOMENTS WITH MOM 

From the  7th to 13th, there will be a week full of surprises for everyone who visits Powerplant Mall in celebration of MOM. Plus, if you spend 15k this weekend, you get freebies from Rockwell too!

FOXlife League of Extraordinary Moms Year 2

On Saturday, May 12th, I will be at SM Mall Of Asia Music Hall, celebrating Motherhood with The League of Extraordinary Moms by FOXlife.

In their second year, FOXlife has asked for nominations of Extraordinary Mommas from all of the metro. 

I am so excited to meet these 10 moms who go the extra mile to take care of their families and do it all. 

McCormick Flavor Nation Festival

On Sunday, May 13th, Sabrina and I will be cooking up some goodness at the McCormick Flavor Nation Festival. We have come up with some new dishes highlighting the launch of their new Asian dipping sauces and mixes that are not only easy to make, but delicious, and fun.

Come and stop by from 10AM – 8PM for learning activities, fun ways to play with your food, and samples of the new ways to prepare restaurant favorites in your kitchen!

 

Plus you can also catch informative demos by Sabrina Artadi, Neri Miranda, Chef Tenten Casasola, and workshops all day by Bento by Kat!

The Give Back Project

Also on Sunday, May 13th, you can get crafty with the kids and pay it forward for #LeviLittleLionHeart with The Give Back Project. I have written about this worthy endeavor in another post from last week if you would like more details.

It’s perfect for those of us who live in the south because it’s in the Pacific Village Clubhouse!

Nickelodeon Mom & Me

Also on Sunday, May 13th, (and for the Northerners) Nickelodeon will be hosting a fun filled event for the whole family, at SM City North EDSA, The Block. Kids and kids at heart can participate in different activities from play family games to making cupcakes together with mom.

Doors open at 10am and since I have attended some of the Nickelodeon events before, I KNOW this will definitely keep the little entertained with fun activities for little and big kids alike.

Pink Fong and Baby Shark Day

Century City Mall has a fun event that is inclusive of a buffet lunch, movie passes, and entertainment for the whole family as well!

Sofitel Presents Family Culinary Favorites For Mother’s Day

Spiral has always been a wonderful place to celebrate the most special occasions in our family. This year, Sofitel honors wondermoms, Christine Jacob Sandejas and Suzi Abrera as they collaborate with Spiral’s Master Chefs in showcasing their family favorites. 

Momma’s Day Treat

Coco Nail Studio is one of my favorite places to go and relax for a little pampering. 

My only wish is to be able to steal away from all my commitments so that me and my girls could enjoy a little pampering together…

#JustLikeMom

If you are in the south, and want to spend time malling with your littles, this looks like it will be a fun activity as well.

 

 

Ekstraordinary Moms

Who doesn’t love Enchanted Kingdom?

I’m already looking forward to taking advantage of this one!

Mommy Mundo Expo Mom

And you guys know, I’m a big fan of Mommy Mundo Mom Expo!

This is not happening this weekend, but I want you to make sure you put this in your calendar. It has always been onf of my favorite Mommy events to attend. (and to shop!)

I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes toget I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes together so easily. When Sandra Cheng shared that she was willing to share more about her benefits of @easecox.ig essential oils with our buddies, the team and I quickly brainstormed a program flow that was in line with this opportunity to learn. 

Grateful for @monicaemanzano who was so game to share a movement segment from @flowretreats. She thought of @curatedgoodfood who generously shared preservative free dimsum which goes perfectly with our healthy sammies from @h2v2partyneedsandcatering. @komida.foods has been a consistent supporter of our mission and events since last year. We are grateful for their continued mission of providing healthy snacks for our events!

We opened with @joanngue.mlg pranayamic breath work, moved on to a yoga flow with Monica, followed by mindfulness with @enzoarmovit, a gratitude circle, and then esssential oils for beginners with Sandra from Easecox Philippines.

What a wonderful morning spent with our Buddies in BGC! 

Thank you to everyone who made this event so easy to conceptualize and mount! 

PS. If you would like to be a buddy. Please PM me. Bugsy and I are so blessed to have one another and I love that we get to do things like this together!
Colors. My first girl got to go on her first med Colors. 

My first girl got to go on her first medical mission in October. 

Gosh, they grow up so fast. 

We bought her new scrubs for the trip. It feels like yesterday when I was buying her green skirts and black Mary Janes for grade school.

Now she’s all grown. On her way to becoming a doctor.
At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado turned to me and said “Mom, thank you so much for bringing me here. I love Frozen.” 

As Gelli continues to grow up, some things remain the same. Her love for princesses, her love for her siblings, having fun with the family, and music and dance in any form. 

What an enchanted evening we had visiting the Samsung Theater in @_circuitmakati to watch the FROZEN film in CONCERT with a LIVE ORCHESTRA. From the moment Gelli hear the orchestra’s accompaniment to the film, to the vocalists who sang along, she was mesmerized.

Thank you @dotdigitalph for inviting Gelli to experience this up close and personal!! She had a blast!
