Shopwise Lancaster

One of the things I love most about doing the weekly grocery shopping, is finding new products that can make my life easier in the kitchen and at home. There are a few places that I like to frequent for the different items we use weekly and monthly in the house, and Shopwise is on my list of go to grocery stores for a variety of reasons. Recently, I was invited to the grand launch of Shopwise Lancaster, and I was so happy that Nino could join me for this super bongga event that had me explore these new digs just a little bit further south.

Of course, we had to take the obligatory photo by the huge shopping cart! 

Once we arrived at Shopwise’s newest location, I knew that it was going to be a grand celebration of everything Shopwise is known for. This supermarket is an eighteen year old brand that has been serving generations of shoppers who are not only looking for quality meats, fish, and produce, but also the modern convenience of being able to consolidate where we shop for what we need for our households at affordable prices.

I always love it when Nino joins me for events like these. It means I actually get to be in some of the photos as well.

There was just so much going on! And the CHEER Dancers!

Erica Padilla opened up as the emcee of the program following the dance program of the cheer dancers. Shopwise executives, welcomed us into the hyper supermarket, and special guest appearances were spaced all through out the day, leading up to a very special concert by Up Dharma Down.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for the concert (momma duties) but we had a great time exploring the supermarket with all of the deals and steals that they were offering shoppers for the day!

Here’s what we saw:

Produce that was not only FRESH but LOCAL.

Sometimes, I crave the fruit I grew up with…

And nectarines from Australia are the perfect fix.

And here they are, in all their glory front row and center at Shopwise Lancaster.

One thing I have learned is that I can save a peso or two by buying the store brand Sure Buy.

Taking advantage of Shopwise’s in-house store brand for a variety of different staples can make a big difference when it comes time to check out at the register.

Even bigger deals were seen all through out the store for the GRAND OPENING.

Like Buy One Take One on rice, chicken, bread, and even household items like hangers were where you could see shoppers taking advantage of the celebration.

But Nino and I were having fun exploring this new, sweet smelling, well organized supermarket. 

Magnolia Chicken Station DOES make my life easier when I’m in a hurry. From their breaded chicken strips that I can fry up quick and throw in the Yumbox, to the Chicken Inasal which I have yet to learn how to make…

With some of the usual suspects…

Kewpie is definitely a staple for us. Gia loves Spicy Cheese. We all love Creamy Sesame.

And the usual staples that we have in the ref and or the pantry, like Kewpie Salad Dressing and Mayo.

And when my love asked me to pose for him. I did. 

But not before I inspected and perused all the BIG SAVINGS PACKS for my family of six…

I do what I do for everyone in this photo, including making sure the house is well stocked with all the food that these five humans enjoy.

AND because Shopwise Lancaster also wanted to give us the opportunity to have a little bit more fun, we were given the chance to GUESS HOW MUCH the SHOPPING CART is worth.

Erica asked 10 of the guests at the launch to come up with a number closest to the total of the ingredients of the cart.

I must confess, I was way off. And here I was hoping I could not only take home the ingredients IN THE CART, but I was also hoping to win the gift certificates that the person who guessed correctly was awarded for her stellar guessing skills….

While exploring, Nino and I found the wine section…and I was curious to see what Shopwise was carrying in terms of Australian and Italian Wine.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Nino and I even had time to explore the food court, and the rest of the store after the doors were open to the public.

I went back to explore some of the meats and was surprised to see that there was a variety of both local and imported meats.

I also went back to take a look at the mangosteen, passion fruit, rambutan, and daladan. These are all the same local fruits that I love keeping in the house. Of course, each of my kiddos has their favorite.

Healthier options that are sugar free just make me feel like a better mom when I bring it to the table in the morning with hot pandesal.

And because we had to head back to Alabang to visit with my Best Buddies DLSZ, it was right around this time that we proceeded to the check out.

You know one thing I loved about this experience?

There was a chance to give immediate feedback about my experience. 

And that was when I realized, none of the other supermarkets that I frequent, have EVER offered this ability to me.

Nor do they have runners…er…bladers readily available and at your service. 

Are you wondering why he’s wearing roller blades? 

Well, you know when you get to the register and maybe one of your items doesn’t have a sku? This smiley guy right here will blade across the store with a swiftness and will be back with the correct price tag so you aren’t waiting at the register as long as you normally would…

Cool right?

  • earn and redeem points

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith toda I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith today with some university students. 

I have shared my testimony with other mommas, women in our community, and parents through this platform and others. It’s always come naturally and has often ended in tears of gratitude and joy for His faithfulness and unending LOVE. 

Of course, sharing parts of myself with others who may find it helpful is a privilege. But for some reason, I am always just a little bit anxious and apprehensive right before I am about to present parts of my story.

Perhaps today, I’m anxious because the format for how I will share is a bit different, I won’t have the comforts I have gotten used to since working from home. Instead I’ll print some cue cards for myself so I can stay on task and within my given time period. 

I love the opportunity this endeavor has given me, to reflect on His presence in my life. He’s been there all along, even if I didn’t know it. I love the understanding that I can have these intimate conversations with my Creator knowing that He has plans for me. He loves me. He knows all the hairs on my head. And that He knows what I need to fulfill my purpose.

This doesn’t mean I won’t have challenges, or times when I feel broken in my life and faith. In fact, there have been many times where my faith has faltered. All of it just means that He is fortifying me through each and every lesson. He is allowing me to create a greater understanding of who I am, where I am supposed to be, and how He will get me there.

Do you share parts of your faith here?
What does that look like?
