As we all know, Mother's Day is just around the corner and it's that one occasion where we make our moms feel extra, extra, extra special and loved because of all the unconditional things they do for us. I know there are so many gift suggestions out there, but if you have little kids and want to make something more personal for their grandparents or just a cute activity you wanna bond over Mother's Day (since we all can't celebrate outside yet), you can try this fun DIY gift idea! ♥ ^_^

Plenty of time on my hands lately that I was able to watch a new Kdrama and actually stay up to date with it! It's the most watched now by most of the people I know and it's called 'A World of Married Couple'. The Hubby and I got so hooked on the story line! If you've seen it too, you know how every episode is so packed and it can make your blood curl haha! Given that it's probably my fave right now, I decided to recreate some looks of the lead character Ji Sun-Woo from my own closet! ^_^

Every Mother's Day, my family and I go to the mall and we celebrate it by having dinner. It is still special, but it's the typical thing that we do almost every year. This time however, I was invited by New World Manila Bay for a Mother's Day staycation and I really got excited, because it's not every occasion that we spend it away from our home. :) With that, I want to share with you, guys our overall experience with New World Manila Bay last Mother's Day.

Mother's Day, no matter where you are in the world is greatly celebrated and why wouldn't we? Where would we be without our Moms who tireless take care of us and forever work for our wellbeing. Moms have the toughest job in the world and they do it for free! So, I think it is just but right that we give them the best everyday and especially on Mother's Day! ^_^
SM Supermalls feels the exact same way as they are a silent witness to every mom who goes to their store, may they need to pay bills, go to the grocery or simply to have some family time. :) This month of MAY, SM celebrates Moms through their National Super Moms Day!

Mom, Momma, Mommy, Mother, Mama, we all have mothers that we love dearly and on this special day, we want her to feel like she's the most special woman in the world. Truly, she deserves this because of all her sacrifice and handwork. Mothers bear a lot and I know I wouldn't be here without my very own Mom and Lola who I treat like my second mom. their guidance has lead me to a good path in life.

Mothers know best, and that's why they deserve only the best.

A mother is very dear to our hearts. She sacrifices everything for her child- her sleep, her time, her life. And for that, we should always always always make them feel special everyday no matter what. :) On Mother's Day on the other hand, we make her feel EXTRA special. ;)
For me, I was blessed to have two mothers growing up. The first one, of course is my real mother and she is one heck of a super mom! She managed to be a mother and father to be at the same time. I can't thank her enough for the life she gave me. I'm spoiled (why wouldn't I be? Only child!), but not rotten. She also loves my kids as much. :) The second mother is my Ama a.k.a. Lola. She and my Lolo raised me while Mom was away to work. I won't be able to do my blogging, events and even go to school without her. She takes care of my kids almost everyday and like my Mom, she's also super mom! She takes care of all of us and for that, I will forever be grateful to her. She's the best second mom anyone could ask for. :)

Since we always have the typical lunch or dinner out on Mother's Day, I decided to stir things up a bit and give my Lola a different kind of Mother's Day Celebration. :)
How different exactly?

Mother's day is only three days away and if you still don't know what to give to the most important woman in your life a.k.a. Mom, here are a few gift suggestions that might interest you. :) After all, Mother's Day only comes once a year and this is the time of the month to give her that extra love for doing best in the hardest job in the world!:)
1.) A tote bag

To carry all the daily essentials she might need or to even make things much easier when she's out. :) Personally, bags are my weakness, so this would be a perfect gift for me.
2.) Far Away Eau de Parfum & Far Away Luxurious Skin Softener

Make your mom feel pampered to help her look, feel and smell amazing on her special day. :) The lotion can provide her protection and moisture again summer heat, while the perfume can give her a fragrance that is subtle yet refreshing with every spritz.
3.) Anew 360 degree White Intensive Serum, SuperShock Max Waterproof Mascara and Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick with SPF 15

Let mom's true beauty shine with the Anew 360 degree White Intensive Serum as its formula makes skin fairer, and reduces dark spots for more luminous, glowing skin.
And make Mother's Day bonding fun and special--gift her with styling and beauty essentials like mascara and lipsticks. :)
4.) Ceramic Tourmaline Hair Straightener, Curler, and Blower

Since you have some beauty products to give, might as well complete the look by experimenting with various hairstyles, using these handy hair tools!:)

5.) Body illusions High Waist Control Brief

Help mom pull off that perfect Mother's Day look with this. A smooth and seamless undergarment with a double layer panel that tucks the tummy for a firmer figure---allowing her to sport any figure-hugging ensemble with extra confidence. :)
6.) Jessica 3-way clutch

A bag that comes with two sets of straps that can be easily detached to use as a sling bag, wrist, or clutch, so she can take it with her to practically any occasion. :)
7.) Dear Mom Necklace

And finally, give her a necklace that will remind her what an amazing Mother she is and not to mention, this adds an elegant touch to any ensemble. :)
You can find all these gifts at your respective Avon stores. :)
Indeed, Mother's Day is a call to honour moms. But aside from giving them gifts, let them know how amazing and beautiful they are. Make them feel your love more than anything else!♥

It's one of my favorite occasions today and I'm sure for all mother's out there too!:) It's the best feeling when people greet me a happy mother's day and when I see Athan growing up well. Overwhelming feeling to be a mother and I can't even begin to describe it. It may be hard, but it sure is rewarding! That's why always give importance to your mom and show her some love!

Happy Mother's day to your Mommies!!!:)

For our Mother's Day celebration, my Mom, Athan and I went to a theme park here called, WINDOW ON CHINA or XIA REN GUO. It takes us about 2 hours to get there. Tiring, but really worth it! The main attraction of the park is the miniature models of famous places in Taiwan, China, and other parts of the world!:)

It looks small from the outside, but once you get inside, there are different rides, the miniatures and places to eat!

The trains, boat, trucks and planes look real in the pictures don't they? It looks like I just took it from afar, but really they're small! If Athan and I step in there, we'd look like Godzilla! haha!:))

It's my second and Athan's first to visit Window on China, but I was still too young to recall what I saw before. Going today made me feel like it was the first time and we were amazed at how detailed and cute the scale models were.

All the pictures here are real places that can be found in Taiwan. I haven't seen ALL of the historical places here, so it's actually nice to have a glimpse. :)

A view of the first part of the park. :)

To get to the other half of the park, we had to take a train, because it's far and there's no other way to get there. =P

Here are some pictures from Europe, USA and more!=P

I have loads more of pictures from the park and the amazing miniatures, but I wouldn't wanna flood you, guys. Plus, my Picasa is giving up on me. :((

After our trip to Window on China, we went to Tony Bistro to have dinner and to celebrate Mother's Day!:)

It was a really fun day. :) I hope you all had a great mother's day celebration and thank you to all the people who remembered to greet me on this special day! Much love!!!

It's my first Mother's day ever and I really am proud to be celebrating this wonderful day together with my son and fellow mothers. Who knew that being a mother could be this overwhelming. All the special attention you get from family, friends and special discounts at mall for that specific date. It's good to be a mom. :) But being a mom is definitely hard work. Who would have thought that one small baby can take up your entire day? Who would need all the attention, nurturing and love.

When my son, Athan was born I could feel the rush of being a mother with him. I had all these new responsibilites that I never had before. One was to make sure he was always breathing when he's sound asleep, two is to always wake up ever 3-4 hours every night just to feed him milk, three is to make sure he's always clean, so he wouldn't get sick, four is to comfort him whenever he's sick and five is to make sure he never gets hurt. There are more things that I encounter with him that will take up the whole space of this blog, but they don't need to be said because having him is the greatest blessing I have ever received from God. Everyone can have a child, but it takes few to fit the role of a parent and that's what I'm trying to learn right now. I'm still a beginner towards being a parent together with my hubby, but we're getting better every step of the way. Thanks to the people who helped us grow up--our parents. Without them we wouldn't survive. That's why I believe having mother's day and father's day is an honorable day for parents.

Yesterday was Mother's day and with surprise my mother gave me two designer bags as her gift to me for mother's day. It came to such a surprise because I only wanted a Fifi Lapin LesportSac and in return I got these two cool bags---

A Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Tate bag and a cute orange Agnes B. Bag. :)

I never expected the Marc Jacobs bag because at first my Mom told me that we couldn't afford it at the moment, because it was too pricey, but because it was mother's day and things we're discounted and I hold a Filipino passport, the bag was tax free!:) So, I was really fortunate to get both bags for tax free!:) Thank you, Mommy and thank you Mother's day!

We also went out to dinner for mother's day at Chilis with my Tita Gaya and Tita Beth. I really love the food of Chilis. Uber good! Especially their Quesadillas explosion salad. It was the best Mother's day celebration ever!

One of the best gifts I also received for Mother's day was a sweet e-mail from my Wubie. He never fails to greet me on special ocassions. That's why I love him, so much!:) I love Mother's day and we are all lucky to have mother's who kept us safe for 9 months and still is keeping us safe until their old.

How was your mother's day?

Did you get anything for your mom?

Are you a Mom or planning to be?
