Weekend Activities in Metro Manila August 14-16

This weekend, my friend Patty and I will be hosting our second #Crafternoonsph with Anina Rubio. She came down south earlier this year to teach a quick class on Calligraphy and Lettering. It was a well attended class and Anina was so super easy to work with that we asked her to come and teach us again.

This class is full already, but, we do hope to sign up some more classes with Anina so that we can further our lettering skills. So, be on the look out and check our Crafternoonsph Facebook page for upcoming workshops.

  
For this class, we partnered with Draft in Molito, so it’s still very accessible to those of us who live near by. As we partner with different teachers, we aim to highlight different restaurants and businesses in the area so each workshop will have a different feel. As many of you already know, I love anything happening here in the south because that means we don’t have to travel as far…so we love that we have such qualified teachers who are willing to come this far to teach us.

Here’s a line up of some other weekend activities in Metro Manila:

You know Mommy Mundo knows what we need when we are raising up our kiddos. 

Janice Villanueva has been doing this for years. She brings together all the brands that we know, we love and that we have been searching high and low for, under one roof. She makes it easy for us when we are pregnant and searching for support, or when we are nursing and looking for (other kinds of support) attractive nursing gear, and she keeps our kiddos dressed well, and even entertained while we shop. 

Now she’s making it even easier for us to shop by having the clearance sale of all the brands we are familiar with a well!

I saw pics from last year and it looked like a pretty amazing sale…

Now, if only I could find time to go this weekend in between our move and family photo shoot…

I saw this bazaar in my Facebook feed an thought it looked like it might have some vendors that y’all might like. Then I took a closer look at their page and realized that you will DEFINITELY like some of their vendors!

Here’s a quick list lifted from their FB post:

Gastro Chef + Real Girl, Toy Kitchen + C & J Gourmet Foods + Café Lulu + Casa Carmela + The Food Bin + Honeystix +THC + Bee Healthy + Delicioso + Hydration Nation + Menaggio + Milvidas + Victoria Marin + Mobler + Eastern Gem Corp + Goods of Desire + GDN + Austolia Jewelry Arts + Majen + What If Handmade + Alchemista + NC Filmade Corp + Mommy’s Closet + Affordable Acquisitions + Bath & Buddy + Accentuations Enterprises Inc. + Vida Lim + Pintadas DIY + Decoratura + Zentiments + Tru + Curly Grain + Sugar Plum Lifestyle + Moda Burda Garments + Bug & Kelly + Tawid Silver + T COLLECTION + Gourmet Corner + Euro Fine Foods Specialist + Board It Up + Make My Day + CMBV Confectionaries Co. + Pottly N Tubby + Rijo Home Décor Ceramic + Malcoms Burgers + Corn Star

 

You can check them out starting Friday, August 14, from 9:00am to 8:00pm and also Saturday, August 15 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Dasmarinas Village Pavillon, Campanilla Street, Dasmarinas Village, Makati City.

Any time The Mind Museum has something special I just have to share it. Whenever it comes to education, I always feel it’s up to us to entice our children to learn more while still having fun. Science and Technology was always fun for me, especially when it was presented in ways that made it even easier to understand the concepts. Check out this upcoming two part workshop that starts this Sunday.

 

I first met the mommas behind The Parenting Emporium when I gave birth to Gelli. About four years ago (her birthday is coming up) I gave birth and my baby couldn’t direct breastfeed right away. In fact, I wasn’t able to put her to my breast until 9 days after she was born because she was healing from surgery. These mommas helped me through, fit me for my pump, and encouraged me on the challenging road that I was on.

Now these mommas have put together a place where mommas can do even more and learn from one another in the process. Check out the classes that they have going on this weekend. Surely, you can find one that works for you.

To register for any of the classes just text or call 09187-811-0821  

I have met these two ladies through the blogging community and I know them to be the greatest of friends. I for one, can appreciate the joy you find in working and doing something you love…and then working, doing something you love, and doing it with a friend! I can only imagine how much fun this Beauty Workshop will be with these two lovely ladies.

I know they have a ton of treats in store for everyone who will attended as well as some pretty big raffle prizes too!

My weekend will be quite full. We have family coming in from NY. We have our family photo shoot scheduled and our send off for out girls who will be playing this year for the UAAP volleyball team for DLSZ. We will manage all of these things while also beginning to move houses. But, if it’s anything I have noticed, I realized that I’m just a little more efficient when I have more things to do…it actually forces me to manage my time more effectively.

Wishing y’all a great weekend. Make sure you find time to rest. It’s what helps us attack the work week ahead…

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!
