May na!

I wonder when my May issue will arrive??? I finally got a subscription. For several years I would just buy from bookstores and magazine stands but I'm always frustrated coz they come in late.

I just started last month and was super happy it arrived just three days into the month.

Ruffa Gutierrez wears LV. There seems to be a lot from the Graffiti collection in this issue. I wish one would throw me a wallet or even a Speedy on Mother's Day. Hehehe...

Push it! Push it!

I went to Salcedo market today with my family. It was our first time. Of course we ate a lot and bought a lot of stuff too. Couldn't stop myself from taking a picture of someone with a pushcart though... hahaha! I saw several. Maybe next time I go shopping I should run off with one too, so I have something to bring the next time we go back to Salcedo market.

Healthy (?) Chicharon

Now, this is all the rage at work. Marty's Cracklin' A supposed healthy snack. Vegetarian chicharon from Oishi. We love the salt and vinegar flavor. The original one is sort of tasteless. Other than being vegetarian, it's supposed to have 0% trans fat and zero cholesterol.

Although I think I'll get an MSG overload with this one.

I can't stop eating this. It's super addictive.

It's my first Mom's Day

I can now officially demand a gift on Mother's Day. Yey! But we now have a little one with an insatiable hunger, most of our shopping money goes to him now. And I know that even if he's a boy with limited fashion choices, I will still end up shopping for him. If mom is a fashionista, baby boy has to be too! Well, since May is mom's month, I'm so happy Powerplant has lots of activities for moms like me! I'm so looking forward to these bazaars!

I'm hoping to see my favorite Multiply sellers of baby stuff at the bazaar and looking forward to the various activities during the Expo Mom. Our birthing class instructor reminded us about it.

On Mother's Day, I'll definitely spend it with my family. I told them we'll have dinner instead of lunch because I'll be meeting up with Papa Piolo and John Lloyd at ASAP '09!!! Hahaha!

We want YOUR shoes!!!

I've been trying to get the post-pregnancy weight off for a couple of months now. It's been a struggle to find time between work and spending time with my baby. But I wanna look hot on his first birthday so I'm trying to psyche myself. I also promised myself I would join at least one marathon this year. I haven't started running though, because I found out my old rubber shoes is not fit for exercise anymore. I need new ones! Okay, so maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to buy a new pair... But Adidas gave me a sign that this is the best time to grab a pair!

Adidas wants our old shoes! Bring an old pair to any Adidas shop and in exchange they'll take as much as P1,000 off your next purchase of any Adidas shoes. Here's the mechanics:

1. Bring in your old sport shoes of any brand to receive:
a. P500 OFF your new purchase worth P1,500-P2,999
b. P1,000 OFF your new purchase worth P3,000 and up
2. Each discount value is applicable for only one pair of shoes purchased. Bring in as many old pairs to get discounts on as many new shoes!
3. Only accepts 'sports shoes' of ANY BRAND (no sandals, high heels, flats, leather, or infant shoes). Old sport shoes have to be in decent condition and still functional.
4. All old shoes will be donated to Pamulaan Center for Indigenous People Foundation.
5. Promo Period runs from May 1-17, 2009

This would be a great opportunity to clean up our shoe closet, start getting fit, get a discount shopping AND most of all, help others.

The Pamulaan Center for Indigenous People Foundation aims to develop, preserve and share the rich culture of our indigenous brothers and sisters. The word Pamulaan is a lumad-Matigsalog word for seedbed.
