How To Best Enjoy Minute Maid? Just S-M-I-L-E!

Frankly, orange is not my favorite fruit but ever since I’ve gotten pregnant (starting with my eldest ‘til now that I'm 34 weeks pregnant with the twins), I have developed this OJ craving and Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Juice has always been my first choice. Based on my almost two-year affair with this beverage, I’ll share with you the S-M-I-L-E technique on how you can best enjoy your Minute Maid the same way that I always did. My brother with the Minute Maid I offered him ***************************** S erve it at the Start of the Day If you want to start your day right, I suggest you begin it with a glass of Minute Maid Pulpy Orange. The ‘orangy’ scent will help wake you up and get you going early in the mornings. It has this aroma-therapeutic effect that will immediately brighten up your mood for the rest of the day. In my case, its sweet citrus aroma acts much like a zest pill each time I have to start with daily tasks (my work starts 7am- sharp!)… and I almost forgot, Breakf...

I need a Leather Journal!

I’ve got myself a planner and then, I gave my mom a planner, my hubby a notebook, my younger brother another notebook, and still I need another journal for my younger sister who turned 15 last December. I think the leather journal would be a lovely late birthday and post New Year’s gift for her. This is my answer to the contest sponsored by Yes No Meh and bury me in this dress . Check out Mukhang Pera for more online contests ! ******************************************** Please do spare a few minutes on my Real Leaf Paparazzi post and post a comment. Need the cash prize for my upcoming CS operation. Thanks

Mommy Moments: My Yana’s Favorites

Favorite Activities: Fortunately, she has gotten past her inclination to electric wires and bulbs. Now, she is more fond of walking, picking up little bits and pieces and eating whatever it is that she can pick up, taking a bath, riding a motorcycle, playing peek-a-boo, tracking reflections on the mirror, hugging, kissing, cuddling, and dancing (in an odd sit-down-sit-down-you’re-rocking-the-boat manner). Favorite Food: Chocolate cake, Cream-O, Fried Chic ken, Fried Tilapi a Favorite Color: Yellow Favorite Cartoon Character: SpongeBob. S he’s a certified Spongebob fanatic. She yells whenever she sees Spongebob – on TV, on someone else’s shirt, keychains, bags, stickers, blankets, whatever. On top of that, whenever she hears the TV show’s theme song, she starts dancing and yelling (in a sing-song tone). Favorite Music: Spongebob’s theme song Favorite TV Show: Spongebob Square Pants Favorite Pet: Cat (She yells “cat” whenever she sees cats --- and dogs) Favorite Gadget: Mobile Phones an...

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Real Leaf Chronicles: Part 2

No to Hard drinks, Yes to Healthy Tea! At times, he may look a bit scruffy and impetuous with all those tattoos and his unwavering interest in racing and motors but past those first impressions, he has this fascinating personality – that of a loving hubby and a father who puts us first in his list of priorities. Whatever he reaps from hard work, he shares it with us. And on top of that, he sets a good example to our daughter with regards to drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages: “Drink Real Leaf instead!”
