What moms really want for Mother's Day

Motherhood is a tough 24-hour job, no pay, no days-off, most often unappreciated and yet resigning is impossible.
This Mother’s day, I have decided to talk asked 100 Moms to ask them of what they wish to receive on this special day, to at least give back on all the hard work they have done for the family. And here are the Top 10 responses.




1. 30-minute shower: With 38.5°C temperature in the Philippines right now, wouldn’t you want to run in the shower and take a long, relaxing bathe? The scientists believe that when people feel isolated they take hot showers as a form of self-therapy, or self-soothing.

2. Love letter – In this world full of social media – where it is very convenient to greet your Mothers through posts, these Moms said they would still feel your love through the old school, heartfelt love letters.

3. Chocolates – Eating certain types of chocolate in small amounts can be good for you. The cocoa in chocolate contains antioxidants, which are considered “heart healthy”. Because chocolate is also high in calories and fat, it is only a good snack if you have it in small portions. They say you can say “I love you” best with a box of chocolate.



4. Flowers - Studies show that women who have flowers in their rooms are less anxious. The sweet fragrance of the flowers will change a mother’s mood and she will definitely feel better.

5. Shoes and dress – All women are “Imeldific” in nature. I personally love bags and dresses. This will be a perfect Mother’s day gift given you know your Mom’s size.

6. Going to the beach – Summer is on! Nothing beats a perfect relaxation for Mother’s day than a salt air which combats depression and mood disorder. According to research, the sound of the waves changes the wave patterns in our brain comforting us into a deeply relaxing state.

7. ME time (Spa, Massage, Salon) – If your Mom is vain or kikay, then a trip to the best salon or massage parlor will be a perfect gift for her. Have her hair colored, nails done and then end the day with a soothing massage.

8. Lunch/Dinner with family – Money should not be an issue in giving back Mom’s constant effort to make us feel loved. A home-cooked lunch or dinner will be highly appreciated by her. Google some fancy table set-up and surprise your Mom with an exceptional lunch/dinner date.

9. Gift Certificates they can use for Groceries – This is a best gift if your Mother is a practical one. A lot of department stores offer Gift Certificates to which she can use for various purchase.



10. Staycation with family - Not everyone can afford a vacation to a tropical paradise or an exciting destination. For many of us, staycation are what we can afford -- but it turns out they may be exactly what we need. Staycation is a great way to save money, enjoy your time off from work, and avoid the unavoidable stress that goes along with travel. There were a lot of booking applications available these days that offers affordable rates.


Mother has postponed many of her needs and desires in favor of the needs of her children. As a consequence of this sacrifice, she has inculcated sense of character and culture into her children. We can never compensate for the unconditional love and support of our mother, but all we can do is reciprocate our undying love by giving something as distinctive as she is.

Kung buhay lang ang Nanay ko momsh, isa sa mga ideas dito treat ko talaga sya. Sobrang nakimiss ko sya araw2. Nalulungkot ako dahil di nya ito naranasan nung buhay pa sya. Naiiyak tuloy ako. Hehe
Ang buhay nanay ay nakakapagod pero fulfilling. Kapag makikita mong masaya ang mga anak mo at ang buong pamilya. Hindi ko
Ipagpapalit ang aking role as a nanay.

Tigdas/Measles: Mga Sintomas, Pagkain at Lunas

Pagkatapos ng Dengvaxia incident maraming magulang ang natakot na pabakunahan ang mga anak ng libreng bakuna na inaalok ng DOH Health Centers. Yung iba sa atin hindi na pinabakunahan ang mga anak laban sa measles, tetanus, rubella at cervical cancer (HPV). Nito lang week dinala namin uli si Chelsea sa Pedia nya dahil sa pabalik-balik na lagnat at ang napansin ko na rashes sa may bandang dibdib at tyan nya. Sinabi sa amin ng doctor na patuloy namin obserbahan si Chelsea dahil maaring mayroong Measles outbreak, sapagkat 3 na sa kanyang naging pasyente ng araw na iyon ay postive sa measles. Nagdeclare ng measles outbreak ang DOH sa Zambonga City noong February 2018, 495 na kaso sa Davao city starting from January-September 2108, at barangay sa taguig noong March 2018. Anu-ano nga ba ang sintomas ng tigdas (measles)? Mga kailangang gawin? Mga pagkain na  pwede at bawal kainin. 2 uri ng tigdas o Measles Tigdas Tigdas Hangin Sintomas: Rashes o pamamantal Dry cough

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
