I went to McDonald's earlier to have my 2nd breakfast (don't judge me!) in order to satisfy my craving for their Sausage McMuffin. Their new offering of Cheesy Eggdesal with Sausage (photo attached) caught my eye (and my tastebuds) so I decided to order one, only to find out that after 10 minutes of sitting, the lady in the counter punched and gave me a Cheesy Eggdesal with Tomato and Onion instead. I wanted to complain for the WRONG sandwich given to me but since I don't want to waste more time, I decided to line up again and ordered another Cheesy Eggdesal with Sausage and thought of giving the other sandwich to the first beggar I'll encounter on my way home.

I came along a first beggar, a man in his 60s or 70s asking for money so I handed him the "wrong" sandwich. The first words I heard from him caught me off guard:

"THANK YOU, LORD!"

It wasn't me he saw, it was God!

Because it wasn't actually me who did it, it was God!

I came to realize that God actually had it planned for me to have a wrong sandwich so I can provide for others, in such a way that God also allows for wrong things to happen in our lives so that we can be a blessing to others. And oftentimes, the situations we perceive as wrong were actually His interventions in order to use us for His greater glory.

In "wrong" situations wherein the Lord can use me as a blessing to others, who am I to complain?

Here I am, Lord, use me and my circumstances as Your instrument in this world. To God be always the glory!

PS: This Cheesy Eggdesal with Sausage is soooooo good I'm hoping McDonald's PH will offer all-day breakfast soon.

In less than 24 hours, our timelines will be filled with mushy greetings, images of bouquets and gifts of all sorts, just because it’s Valentine’s Day. I really don’t have any idea who started giving a big deal out of this date, but anybody, regardless of relationship status, seems to really make this day one to remember. And I am no exemption.

This has been, I think, my 4th year of celebrating Valentine’s Day under the single label but through the years, this day has been allocated as a celebration of love with my family. I believe nothing couldn’t get any better than commemorating this festive day with people whose love is truly unconditional.

So what could be more fitting with a fancy family dinner at home, of course, especially prepared by yours truly, and then popping a cap of non-alcoholic beverage to toast to the occasion? My parents were both diagnosed with fatty liver so staying away from any alcoholic beverages is a must. I’m glad that I discovered MAY 100% SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE as a great substitute, and with that, our Valentine celebration is complete.


Made out of specially selected freshly pressed grapes, MAY 100% SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE is a high-quality delightful drink that’s perfect for parties and events without having to worry about alcohol content.


This high-quality product is from Belgium and contains only 80 calories per serving. It’s alcohol-free, which makes it great for anyone of any age or dietary restriction to enjoy. We often have a stash of MAY 100% SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE inside our fridge, so that whenever my parents feel to have some wine, a bottle always comes to the rescue. 


Aside from being non-alcoholic, another good thing about MAY 100% SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE is its packaging – it comes with a resealable wired cap to seal freshness when the drink is not consumed immediately.


Two variants, the White Grape and the Red Grape, are already widely available in supermarkets at an affordable price.

Celebrating Valentine's Day need not to be grand and expensive, and also intoxicated. Better yet remain sober to cherish every minute of this special day. To people like me who wants to remember every detail of this special day, MAY 100% SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE is the perfect company.

It's the season to be jolly! And what better way to share joy this Christmas season than to spread word about my new discovery? 

I recently stumbled upon Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk and my curiosity got piqued with this new product. As someone who prefers chocolate milk instead of the plain ones, it's no question that my taste buds got easily hooked to this drink's chocolatey goodness. 


Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk boasts of 100% real fresh milk from cows raised and bred in Europe, and every box is a great source of vitamins and minerals. It tastes less sweet compared to its competitors available in the market, yet the chocolate taste remains distinct in every sip. It's creamy and chocolatey without feeling the guilt for sugar that both kids and moms will surely delight of!
 

It's best serve chilled so pop your box of Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk into your freezer first before pouring  it into your glass to enjoy its awesome goodness. I also tried using this product with my breakfast cereal and I certainly loved it.



Switch now to this healthier alternative - pure cow's milk, real cocoa, no vegetable fat added and less sugar. Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk comes in 1L and 200 ml packaging and is widely available in supermarkets near you.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is considered to be as one of the most important Chinese holidays and has long been celebrated worldwide for centuries in thanksgiving for the abundant season. It is usually held on the fifteenth day of the eight month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which also happens to be the first night of the full moon, hence it is also labeled as the Moon Festival. This year, the festival took place on the 27th of September.  

In celebration of this festival, I was invited to an elegant dinner buffet at the Lotus Court at the Marco Polo Davao. The buffet spread included special signature dishes from the Lotus Court such as the Seafood Delight and specialty dimsum.



The festival would not be complete without the highlight of the tradition - the moon cakes. It has been thought that sharing and eating moon cakes during the week of the festival brings completeness and unity among families.


The restaurant was filled with a festive vibe when Grades 4 to 10 students from Colegio de San Ignacio entertained the guests with their song and dance performances that depicted around the celebration of love, freedom, prosperity, to name a few of the crucial things in life which are truly worth celebrating for.
