VANILLA CUPCAKE BAKERY LUNCH BUFFET TRINOMA

Happy holidays everyone!

Togetherness is our happiness because this is the moment that we are able to relax while having fun and share our thoughts and experiences in the blogosphere. Sharing new updates and how to improve our blogs. But aside from that we also share like sharing our motherhood experiences since we all have kids and almost same age lang kaya ang saya lang.

Last November 27, Nilyn, momi Berlin and Madz we had a chance to met in Vanilla Cupcake Bakery in Trinoma. They are my mommy blogger friends for two years now if I am not mistaken. Last year, our first meet up for our December's exchanging gift was held @ Berlin's mommy's house. Even in spite of our hectic schedules finally, we made it!! Though Mhaan was not with us because of Cloud's fever, thank God we are able to meet and had our "me" time.

We're so glad because there is Vanilla Cupcake Bakery that offers lunch buffet for as low as PHP 298 and this cafe has a very relaxing place that's really suited for the meetups and different bonding.

HERBALIFE NUTRITION-SPONSORED ATHLETE CRISTIANO RONALDO NAMED BEST FIFA MEN’S PLAYER FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR

International football super star Cristiano Ronaldo, an Herbalife Nutrition-sponsored athlete since 2013, was recently named “The Best FIFA Men’s Player” for the second consecutive year.

The award was determined through a combined voting process that included the votes of team captains and managers from national teams all around the globe, an online public ballot of football fans, and votes by a select group of global media representatives.

“Cristiano proves once again that his dedication on the field and commitment to nutrition has elevated him to the top of his game, earning him one of FIFA’s top honors, The Best Men’s Player Award,” said Rich Goudis, CEO of Herbalife Nutrition.

Ronaldo, named the most famous athlete in the world by ESPN, adds to other major awards and accomplishments in 2017.  He won the 2016/17 UEFA Men’s Player of the year for the second consecutive year, after once again leading Real Madrid to the UEFA Champions League title and finishing as the top goal scorer, as well as helping his team win the Spanish La Liga cup.  In 2017, he also became the first player to score 100 goals in UEFA Champions League and European competitions.  He currently holds four Ballon d’ Or titles, the annual football award presented by France Football, and is in the running this year for his fifth.

ZD and the Play Ground

A family needs time to bond, talk, and have some activities to strengthen their relationship.

Our home is one of the special places where the family live together. But sometimes it is also happening in every family that even when you're in the same place living together but you feel that there is something wrong. Hubby and I felt the same thing.

One Monday morning, hubby was heading to his office to submit all the documents needed for his next contract and he decided to take us with him.

After the submission of his requirements, we headed to Rizal Park Children's playground and played like kids with our son.

We often stroll in Luneta Park but we never entered the Children's playground yet. Finally. we're able to explore this time.

You'll have to pay a small fee before entering the park. For adult is 10 PHP and for kids, it's only 5 PHP.

What's inside the Children's Play Ground in Rizal Park?

1. Huge and variety slides for kids
Their slides have different styles tat are catchy for the children and even in the adults too. Their slides have different styles and these made us more excited to explore them.
