Pinay Mommy Writes

Summer season is a mere month away. You already can tell because swimmies, inflatable floats, not to mention the rise of the sunscreens are here and there, showing up on our feeds.



Whenever I hear the word SUMMER, I always think about Cebu. 
My mom is a Cebuana, we've been there every year before when my grandma was still alive hence I have seen its beauty. Although I have been to other places, fascinated with their attractions, my heart still longs for Cebu, dubbed as the Queen City of the South. We haven't visited it for 6 years already! I can't wait to be back there again!

Here are my reasons and the tourist attractions which I wanted to visit:

1. CITY TOUR

You can't just leave Cebu without roaming its city. From enormous churches, historical landmarks and more. It's not always beaches, ya know? :)

2. 10000 Roses Cafe & More

This one's a new attraction I am dying to visit! <3 Those who are KPop and KDrama fams, this is a must-visit!

3. CHASING WATERFALLS

There are a lot of waterfalls located in Cebu. I haven't been to them but hopefully I could, someday. :)

4. SWIM WITH THE GENTLE GIANTS

Oslob is known for whale shark watching. It's kinda pricey but definitely bang for the buck!





5. MALDIVES OF THE PHILIPPINES


For sun and sand lovers out there, Manjuyod Sandbar could be the perfect place for you. I have read some articles and blogs that it used to have dolphins there. Have you seen one?

6. THEIR FOODS

If your partner dumped you, broke your heart, in Cebu, you can find your PUSO <3

And many more.. I'll just stop there because it is making me hungryyyyyy.


7. LASTLY, Everywhere I see is picturesque. <3 Beyond paradise and far from the usual city lights we see. Makes me wanna take a selfie on each beautiful spots and attractions Cebu has. I know I can achieve that perfect self portrait using none other than, OPPO F1S, the Selfie expert. What I love about it?  Its 16MP Front Camera (Yep, 16MP baby!) and a Beautify 4.0 to enhance the natural beauty we all have.

No more haggard selfies especially I am travelling with my kid. You know how kids are so malikot. Lastly, its Selfie Panorama feature that will fit us all in one frame! This will definitely step up our selfie game. 💞


I can't wait to go back to my mom's hometown and capture its beauty using OPPO F1S! My dream smartphone for my dream destination. ❤


How about you, where is your dream summer destination?
I'd love to read yours! ❤

Love,

Ever since we have Jas as an addition to our family, our staycations become more frequent. Today, I will be sharing with you our recent staycation at a hotel in Makati.

Last December 31, 2016, we stayed at BERJAYA MAKATI HOTEL to celebrate New Year's eve there. The hotel is located at 7835 Corner Eduque Street, Makati Ave, Makati. It is just along Makati Avenue so it is accessible to malls, restaurants, convenience stores or even bars and banchettos.

I know I have been MIA for a looong time. Apologies guys. I was just super busy and I want to make sure I post some helpful content or posts instead of posting just for the sake of posting. Fortunately, I have lots of helpful stuffs and reviews to share with you.

Last December 23, 2016, my family and I had an overnight stay at SUNSHINE CITY SUITES or most commonly known as Sunshine City 100 to celebrate my mom's birthday.
It is a fully furnished condo tucked in Mandaluyong along Pioneer Street.

For us, going to the mall won't be complete without visiting to indoor play areas. Although we have a playground in the subdivision I highly prefer indoor play areas since the weather is unpredictable.

We went to Robinsons Galleria yesterday, had lunch, bought a gift for my friend's daughter and went to Tom's World. Upon entering, we saw immediately the play area named AUSTIN LAND. Jas was so eager to go inside since he always wanted to play there ever since we go to Tom's World.

Summer time again! The sun is hot, the sky is clear and the school is over..

People starts to go to the beach, swimming pools, visits Baguio and other activities just to unwind and have a break. Most especially to families with kids, since school has already ended. 

But we prefer staycation. I usually book thru TravelBook.ph. First, because it is cheaper compared to others. Second, I get reward points every time I book that can be used to my succeeding bookings. 





We stayed at BSA Twin Towers last April 2016 for my father's birthday celebration. We chose an overnight stay since my plan was just to swim with them. 

Upon arriving to the hotel, we gave them the printed reservation from TravelBook.ph. Then they gave us the electronic key card for the room and the elevators, the stab for the breakfast buffet for two persons, and a piece of paper for instructions or rather locations of the amenities of the hotel.

They say adventures are the best way to learn. But let me add something on that- it is also the best way to appreciate what our good Lord has created. That is why I always find time to travel with my son and my family. To escape the exhausting daily pace of our lives as well. De-stress as what they call.


This time, me, Jas and my family went to a paradise just inside Metro Manila.The Rainforest Adventure Experience or simply RAVE of Pasig is one of the must-see places in Pasig. It is located in F. Legaspi St. Brgy. Maybunga, Pasig City. It is a public park that have amazing attractions and amenities.






We're sooo excited to come in! :)

One boring night, wala akong magawa so browse na naman ako sa mga discounted online shopping sites. Gusto ko kasi ilabas si babybinata ko. So I came across Metrodeal. And as always, they have good deals available. I got this Php140 deal which is an hour play sa KIDZOOONA WALTERMART MAKATI. Actually mayroon din sa ibang branch but I chose this kasi pinakamalapit sa amin. Actual price is 200/hour.

So KIDZOOONA is an Indoor play all you a can and discovery-learning for kids. It's concept is from Japan which offers unique way of learning while playing for children. I find it effective kasi children can learn while they play and can interact with other kids at the same time. It is actually our first time to go here. So here's our review.
