Day 16 McSpicy is Here!

Whaddyaknow? I won another contest! This time with McDonald's! They had announced winners almost a month ago, when they first launched the McSpicy. It's been a while since they were in touch so I totally forgot about winning in their Twitter contest.

These came today! Yay! McSpicy mini-party for my mini family!

5 McSpicy BOG cards! Yay!

Love ko 'to! Thank you, McDonald's!

Day 4: Simple Joy

I've been thinking about having balut for about two weeks now. Maybe more. Ever since watching the first few epis of Survivor: Caramoan, where they snack on balut for a challenge, this native delicacy has been on my mind.

So for the past two weeks, I've been watching out for Manong, the balut vendor. But I never seem to catch him.

Tonight though, as I got out of the car, there he was - right in front of our courtyard gate! 

So I finally had a balut tonight. Yay!

I am definitely thankful - even with the smallest of things. And you? What made your day today?

Day1: Post-Mother's Day Lunch!

We usually do lunch on Sundays. But because it was Mother's Day yesterday, my folks decided to move lunch to Monday (to avoid the crowd). Thank goodness for holidays!

And thank you, Lord, for blessing us with this delish bounty from Passion! 

What a spread! Thankful for family! And an extra day off work. That, plus peaceful elections. 

What are you thankful for today?

Day 37: Merry Christmas!

I had been raving about Delimondo on my social network accounts, so much so that a friend took notice. This friend happens to work for JAKA Group of Companies (I had promised my friend I will not mention nor tag my friend, so yes, "a friend") and sent me a gift basket of Delimondo deli stuff!

Merry Christmas from Delimondo! Hehehe.

This basket was packed with their two Corned Beef variants, three kinds of sausages (the Chicken Curry, Hungarian and Cheese, Schublig and Cheese), their Chili and Garlic drizzling oil, their Puttanesca pasta sauce, their Spicy Tinapa in Tomato Sauce and a jar of Bacalao ala Vizcaina!

I cannot wait to try them all! I will blog about my loot on the First Wives Club blog soon! Meanwhile, if you would like to check out Delimondo's other products (yes, beyond Corned Beef and Luncheon Meat!), check out their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Delimondo. 

Delimondo's full deli line is available at:
PETRA & PILAR RESTAURANT
JAKA Center Building
Export Bank Drive cor. Chino Roces Ave.

Merry Christmas, my friend! Thank you so much for this!

Day 20: Mooncake!

I'm a simple girl. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Today, I was craving for Mooncake, and whaddyaknow? My dad left me one on my office table!

Simple joy. I AM BLESSED!

Day 20: Ice Cream

I was craving for ice cream yesterday, and whaddyaknow! Our warehouse worker, M, was celebrating her birthday and treated everyone to ice cream! Yay!

I scream for Ice Cream! Just had to say it. LOL!

I am blessed!

Day 12: Free Lunch!

My brother and I had lunch at Kanzhu Hand-Pulled noodles today for FREE! Yes, the voucher came free due to referral credits. So we had a big meal, courtesy of CashCashPinoy - thanks!

The Kanzhu deal on http://cashcashpinoy.com! 

My brother's Fried Lamb Noodles, P175; Hakaw/ Shrimp Dumplings, P120.

My Beef Tendon Dry Noodles with Soup on the side, P130.

And the noodle guy making the noodles by hand - the old, authentic way.

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:26

Day 10: Shopping Perks

Shopwise is having their Anniversary Sale, and this week (until the 17th), they're bringing in Buy 1 Take 1 deals! I had to get RL some more of his fave prune juice (don't ask why he loves the stuff, but it helps with toddler constipation) yesterday and rushed to Shopwise before they closed. The store was packed on a Sunday. I came for the juice and this:

Awesome deal from Shopwise! Beef Shank for P285/kilo plus another kilo for P1!

That's about P150/kilo! For beef!

We hardly ever get to have beef because of rising prices, so deals like this one help single-income, single-parent, meat-loving families like ours.

Thanks, Shopwise!

Oh, and I won an Apple, too.

Blessed today with awesome deals! Et tu? How was your Sunday?

Day 5: More Swag!

Look at what I got today!

GCs for MickeyD's!!! My kids are gonna go crazy!

Yes, more swag. Thanks, McDonald's Philippines!

Have you started keeping track of how God has blessed you each day?

Day 4: Dinner!

It's A's exam week. Needless to say, I am stressed. I have to get up early (430am!), get her ready for school, get ready for work, work, run errands, tutor, etc. Oh and I have to cook dinner, because my nanny, B, doesn't cook (she's only 18).

My mom says I have to teach her how to cook. And I've been doing that each time I cooked dinner all the past 4 months she's been with us. 4 months - I've probably cooked more meals now than I ever did in my whole life! LOL! Seriously, I love to cook, but it's been so stressful lately, it's becoming quite a chore.

Yesterday, my dad calls me into his office and tells me he has food for us. And he tells me "so you won't have to cook dinner."

Gising-gising. Tacky phone pic, I know. But nom! My kids love this! 

Woot! So blessed that someone actually thought about the small things, because they do matter.

Big things come in little packages! How has your day been blessed?

Day 3: Jollibee Swag!

Sundays are TimeZone days for my kids. We've actually been trying to save on TimeZone expenses (yes, we're I am supposed to be on a TimeZone ban). So anyway, today, at TimeZone, we won our money back by winning this Jollibee gift check (worth P150.00)! Yes, my kids had fun, and I won swag.

P150.00 Jollibee Gift Certificate from my fave game at TimeZone! Woot!

Not a plush toy, but it is swag!

Did you have a blessed Sunday, too?
