My blog is now 2years old! Happy Anniversary to me!
SpongeBob SquarePants Summer at the North!
It’s summer time and that means our kids need to do something to keep them busy. Right, moms and dads?
Well, if you want the little ones to enjoy the remaining days of their summer vacation (and thank you for it) without making a dent on your pockets at all, look no further! Our favorite yellow fellow makes a stop at the North as SM City North EDSA and Nickelodeon get together to deliver the happiest summer yet to kids of all ages in SpongeBob SquarePants Summer at the North. Let them enjoy and have fun in the exciting and exclusive SpongeBob activities.
Day 2, Part 2: Baguio’s “Ober da Bakod”!
April 22: Day 2
During our second day, when it was just about lunchtime, our driver suggested to try a hole-in-the-wall eatery that’s just beside Baguio Country Club. Actually, the only thing that separates this restaurant from the country club is just a wall. Hence, Ober Da Bakod.
Being the adventurous family that we are, we tried out a few dishes that Ober Da Bakod’s “Countryside Eatery” had to offer. But this joint is not too friendly to PWD’s or the young “once” – The steep flight of stairs can be quite discouraging.
“Ober da Bakod” is a hole-in-the-wall eatery. You want good and affordable home cooked meals? Try this place!
Day 2 Part 1: Baguio to the fullest!
April 22: Day 2
Our 2nd day in Baguio was alloted to shopping for good finds at the Maharlika Market and eat certain kinds of food that we crave for which are only available in this city. The only time that I can bring my kids and husband to the market is when we are outside of Metro Manila or touring a balikbayan around. “Take Advantage” mode ON!
The busy market sidewalk!
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved going to the market. I don’t have any qualms about it even when most markets are wet or smelly and fly infested. That’s the kind of training I got from my grandmother, Mama Julie. She would take me and my cousin to the market every Saturday. This is what I want my kids to learn also. They will eventually have their own families so I’m slowly breaking them in to these kinds of activities.
Day 1: The City Of Pines
April 21: Day 1
On the road to…
2 kids and a “baby”!
… Baguio!
Just had to take this mandatory shot before setting foot at Kennon Road.
And we meet again Mr. Lion!
My Baguio trip won’t be complete without having a picture of Mr. Lion. Lol.
Since Max, our teacup Pomeranian, was with us, I had to look for a place that is pet-friendly and can accommodate 8 people (that’s us!) comfortably. My option was to look for a reputable transient house. Good thing I remembered that my former neighbor has a place that’s being rented out up in Baguio. I negotiated with her, checked the pictures and closed the deal.
“Globe Rewards” is so rewarding!
Do you love getting rewards? I do! And I get my favorite rewards from Globe! Like me, I am sure you have been getting text alerts about your rewards, too. Do not ignore these sms prompts! Your points can buy you coffee during your break time, or movie tickets for your date or to simply gas up your almost empty fuel tank for as low as 50 points!
Last week, “Globe Rewards” launched its newest offering, giving us subscribers more ways to use our points.
On the photo below, Globe’s CEO Mr. Ernest Cu explains how one can enjoy their “Globe Rewards” points.

Globe has made it easier for subscribers (postpaid and prepaid) to pay using their points with a straightforward points to peso conversion of 1 point = Php 1.00. Be reminded, though, that points expire at the end of every calendar year.
Globe has partnered with 7 popular merchants. So, I did not waste any time… I rushed to the merchant booths and redeemed my points right away!
