Thanking my lucky stars : Dusit Thani Manila

-
It was around last November when I received an email from my colleague B. It was an announcement ad for an exciting blog contest by Dusit Thani Manila.

What was at stake was an overnight stay at their Presidential Suite plus a couple of GCs from their restaurants, spa and gym!

It was definitely worth a try :)

Keeping my eyes on the prize

I'm a pretty determined person especially when I have my heart and mind on it. I wanted to win the grand prize so badly...not the second or the third prize. I am aiming for the Grand Prize and I'm praying and working hard for it.

For extra luck, Paul even took my photo posing in front of the Presidential Suite during our stay last December.

After that amazing overnight stay at Dusit Thani Manila, I wrote two entries that I felt best describe that wonderful experience. I'm sharing it with everyone once again:


Not so long ago, I got a call from Ms. Danelle Palang, the PR Manager of Dusit Thani Manila who informed me that I indeed got the GRAND PRIZE for their blog writing contest! I almost screamed with glee had I not remembered that I was at the office talking to Danelle.

Finally, the long wait was over. Tonight, I went to Dusit Thani Manila with my mom and sister to meet Danelle and to claim my prize!

This is me with their friendly General Manager, Mr. Prateek Kumar

Thank you very much Dusit Thani Manila! This really goes to show that nothing is impossible when you put your heart into it. :)

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
