Ayala Triangle 2012
We finally visited the Ayala Triangle Lights and Sound Show which runs every 30 minutes from 6:00 to 9:00 PM 'til December 30. We went on a Sunday, so imagine the crowd!! Well, the crowd around the lights were manageable but the lines at the restaurants was unbelievable!! We were #62 at Kanin Club, we didn't even tried to buy at the other restos coz they don't have any seats available. We ended up at Mcdonalds across the street!
The show was amazing so it was worth it! The kids had so much fun with the lights and fog!

Creamy Tuna Pesto Pasta
I've been cooking new recipes since we moved into our house, and I'm lovin' it!! Haven't posted them yet because blogspot isn't working very well on my PC.. Sad.. Oh, anyway, I'm gonna try again..
I cooked Creamy Tuna Pesto Pasta for meryenda yesterday and the kids loved it, especially my "picky eater" Andi.. Happiness for a mother!♥
I haven't tried making my own pesto, so I bought easy to make/ready made pesto.
Ingredients:
500g Linguine Pasta (cook as directed)
1 pack McCormick Pesto Perfect Pasta Sauce mix
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
250 ml Nestle All-Purpose Cream
1 small can of mushrooms
2 cans century tuna flakes in brine (drained)
grated Parmesan
salt and pepper
Make the pesto, (for the McCormick Pesto) in a saucepan, combine Pesto sauce mix, water and oil. Cook over medium heat until warmed. Add the all-purpose cream, drained tuna and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in cooked pasta, transfer to a serving dish and top with grated Parmesan.
This is so easy to make and the kids loved it 'cause it has all their favorites on it! I kinda' work around their favorite food so I know they'll pretty much like it.
This boy is so easy to please when it comes to food, he'll eat almost anything! Ang galing pa mambola just like his dad! :)

NDGM's Field Demonstration 2012
Been busy fixing the kids' costumes for their field demonstration at school. Oh, no, I didn't made them! :)
I'm not sure if I'm glad that Andi danced at the front or not, we had a hard time trying to take a good picture of her or even take a video.. We were too far from her.. But anyway, we're happy that she's happy and excited about their dance, soo proud of her!!
Look for Ate.. They danced to the song Papi of Jennifer Lopez.
Kuya's Dance (Katy Perry's Fireworks), didn't know where he's place was gonna be, so I was far from him again!
After their field demonstration, we headed straight to the rides and games!
A break from school work was fun for them at first but they got tired.. They wanted their lessons back! Hehe!

Argan Oil
Tryin' out the Argan oil from Snoe Beauty, I think they have the cheapest Argan oil for only P799.00. They have lots of branches and an online store, bought mine at their Trinoma branch.
Benefits of Argan Oil:
"Visibly diminishes signs of aging, protects against sun damage, prevents skin dehydration, relief for eczema, psoriasis and acne, helps strengthens nails, reduces visible scars and active blemishes, mend split ends, restores remarkable shine to all hair types, alternative to shaving foams and gels, eliminates stretch marks.
Snoe's Oil for All with Rgan oil is deemed to be one of the world's richest natural sources of vitamin E, which is renowned anti-aging and anti-wrinkle ingredient, especially liked for its antioxidant powers. Argan oil contains 80% essential fatty acids to help reduce inflammation, squalene to help skin soft, phytosterols to help protect collagen and phenolic compounds to guard against free radicals.
Argan oil has natural antioxidants to aid in repairing hair damage at the cellular level so your hair bounces back to health." ~Snoe Beauty, Argan Oil
I'm excited to use it on my newly rebonded and colored hair, on my hands since I do all the laundry, and of course on my stretch marks! (hope it works!). Since I turned 30, I've been adding anti-ageing treatments on my skin. It's better to prevent them for coming too soon, right?

Coming Home to Mandaue Foam
We've been looking for a perfect bed for our kids, we excluded the double deck bed because we were too scared that they might accidentally fall off the bed. Then i saw the Mandaue Foam store in a magazine, they're just located at Quezon Avenue so we just had to check them out.
Then, we saw this bed! Perfect!
It's the Galvin single bed with pull out bed, priced at P13,000! I immediately asked the saleslady for a new stock! Lucky me, they were still on sale, they slashed 10% off the price! :)
Love it!!
We've made our top 3 choices to buy when we go back there. Our eyes are on the V-60E Circular Tier Center table, priced at P10,000 for our living room.
and the Tee Back Dining Chairs, priced at P3,900, elegant looking comfy dining chairs.
And their 573 Square Table and 477 Chair Dining Set 4+1 with seat cushion, priced at P15,000, these will look lovely on our veranda.
But I don't think we'll ever stop there, 'cause they have almost everything you need for your home, even beds, pillows, vases and more. In Mandaue Foam, it's your home, your imagination.
Watch their new TVC!
