♥ ♥ Celebrating Little Kulit's 5th birthday ♥ ♥

I booked an overnight stay at Canyon Cove on his birthday, since he wants to go to the beach and experience how to make a sand castle like what he is seeing in Disney channel.

I feel like I’m his fairy God mother, granting his wish.

On our way he was so excited, asking me from time to time “Mommy, andyan na beach?”

When we arrived at Canyon Cove he said “I’m so happy, thank you Mommy”. Awww, thats so sweet.

Aside from providing him his needs, making him happy is my greatest fulfillment.

Having a child that appreciates everything that I do for him, what more can I ask?

Anyway highway , here’s a tour at Canyon cove. We arrived at 11 am and they allow us to early check in.

Towels are provided in pool and beach area, but you need to return it if you’re going back to your room. Beach is open from 6am to 6pm and pool is until 10pm. Kiddie pool is spacious. I can let my little kulit swim on his own.

Stop over at d'banguet in tagaytay to blow his candle and to buy my favorite buco tart.

 

What I don’t like in Canyon Cove?

-          They did not provide towel inside the room.

-          I ask for the doormat when we arrived, we already check out but there still no doormat.

-          The staffs are not smiling.

-          Poor service in island café. It took us almost 30-45 minutes before the food was served.

           

Will I go back?

My little kulit enjoy our stay here, maybe yes. But if I'm with friends maybe not.

5 Bible Verses for my little kulit's 5th Birthday

My dearest Little Kulit,

As you celebrate your 5th Birthday, I consolidate 5 Bible verses that I want you to remember while growing up. Always remember that I love you BIGTIME. I love you right up to the moon and back ;)

                       

Remember God's promise to you. He promise a good future for you. If one day you face a difficulties in life, and you feel like giving up remind yourselves that God said "I know the plans I have for you". He has a plan for you. He will never give you something that you cannot handle.

Don't worry, just smile. When you worry you lose focus, it distort your thinking. TRUST GOD.

God is waiting for you, he watch you, he is always willing to help you as soon as you called up. Like Jesus said "Ask and it will be given to you". If it will not be given to you, THINK again maybe you are asking with wrong motives. When you have answered prayer don't forget to give thanks and praise.

Pray like Jabez.  No matter how big are your dreams, alway remember that everything is possible with GOD just keep on believing... when you pray, you must always do so confidently that God will provide what is best for you. Be specific in prayers.

Remember the true meaning of L♥VE. Love is not selfless.. Like the way I Love You.

Anger - a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.

In life you may encounter situations that will make you angry, how you react will make the difference. Be compassionate and forgiving. Don't let anger take over. Get rid of Anger my little kulit. Be patient.

Lots Love,

Mommy

Excited on his birthday

One morning I was surprised when I see the buntings and birthday banner hang in our living room. My little kulit greeted me “Good Morning Mommy, It’s my birthday”.

Oh no! He is excited and expecting a party on his birthday L

In less than a month he will turn 5, and I don’t plan any birthday party for him this year.

But don’t worry little kulit, I have other plan on your birthday. For sure you will enjoy it. J

Time flies so fast. My 10 year old shirt already fit on him.

BDO EIP - easy way to save and invest

Yesterday I attended a seminar regarding EIP of BDO.

Easy Investment Plan (EIP) is an investment schemes that enable you to attain your financial goals and financial wellness through the twin habits of regularly saving and investing.

This is the first time that I learned that they offer a monthly deduction thru your debit card for as low as 1000 per month. All you have to do is enroll and fund your ATM . When you reach 10,000 pesos they will give a COP (Confirmation of Participation).

It is the easier way to save and invest. If I will enroll for 1000 per month it just like saving 50 pesos per working days, or 33 pesos per day.

For me this is better than the time deposit, because you can withdraw your money anytime and with a higher income. But off course with a risk, since the money that you will save will invest in UITF (Unit Investment Trust Funds).

What I like about this is I will not have any excuse to start saving since this is will be deducted before I withdraw from my payroll.

A best start to save for the future of our child J

Requirements to apply:

1. Fill up the EIP application form

2. Account opening Kit

3. 1x1 picture

I’m a fan bento box. I so love the design that some mummies do in their bento box for their little kiddo. They are so creative I wish that when budget permits, I will be able to do a bento box for my little kulit. But since I don't have a budget for that, this is my own version of my little kulit's baon in school.

I’m one of a lucky mummy who never had a hard time feeding my child. He is a HAPPY EATER.
