Happiness With My Fluffy Friends

I think when you ask any close friend of mine to say something about me, I bet they’ll say “Oh she loves dogs”. My fluffy friends have been with me for almost 9 years now and I really love every minute I spend with them. Pure happiness is anytime I get to spent with my fluffy friends.

The sad part of having a dog is to know that they won’t always be there in your life, so every moment spent with them is special. That’s why I capture every simple, cute and special moment of my fur babies. I have three gorgeous Dachshunds in my furry family and a Chihuahua that I’m taking care for a friend.

Bubbles a.k.a. “The Pack Leader”

She is my eldest dog and was originally owned by my sister who migrated to Australia. Bubbles is a sweet puppy and really smart too. Though she’s not as active as my other dogs but her witty tricks will leave you wowed. She has the strongest personality among my furry family and that’s why she became the leader of the pack.

Cooper a.k.a. “Mr. Charmer”

Everyone is his friends as long as it’s not a cat. Cooper always gives his biggest smile and endless licking to anyone who wants to say hi to him. He’s the most active among my fluffy friends. A proud “mama’s boy” and “best kuya ever”.  

Sugar a.k.a. “Happy Kid”

Sugar is just pure joy, the youngest among my doxies. She loves attention from her mommies and fluffy friends. Don’t be fooled with her sweet face because she is not the typical “girly” dog. Her hobby is chewing anything she sees and making a mess at anything (I still love her though, to the moon and back!).

Kurt a.k.a. “Mr. Pogi”

Kurt is owned by a good friend of mine who’s currently living at Canada. I took care of him since he was a little puppy so in my heart he’s part of my fluffy family. He is the youngest and that makes him the most playful. Kurt has a personal relationship with my three doxies and it’s funny how he balances his time with all three of them.

Happiness comes with four legs and a waggling tail. That is why every moment spent with them is worth capturing and remembering. All the birthday celebrations, walk at the park, driving around, Christmas and just cute lazy moods. For me, the best memories of my life are the once that I get to share with my fluffy friends. Their pure love for you is captured in every photo you take and the smiles are truly priceless.

I look forward to many more happy years to capture special moments with my fluffy friends and I need an awesome smartphone to help me with it. Oppo is now widely known as a smartphone with one of the best cameras. Now, taking selfies with our fluffy friends is as its best when you use Oppo F3 #SelfieExpert!!!

Say goodbye to hit and miss photos, now you can be sure that every photo you take is at its best by using Oppo F3 (with 16 megapixels camera).  Also, you get to save a lot of photos with its external memory card that’s expandable up to 128 GB (no need to delete old photos ^_^ Hooray!!!). Get to enjoy its thinner and more sleek look that’s made it more less hassle to bring along.

Finally, a phone that is perfect to capture my happiest moments with my beloved fluffy friends <3

Piolo Reveals His Secret in Achieving “AMOY-ARTISTA” Scent at His Grand Fans Day

Last July 04, 2017 (Tuesday), I was invited to attend Tide Perfume Fantasy product launch at Century Mall, Makati. It was my first time to be invited as a blogger but what I didn’t know is this day will be filled with many more “first time experience”.

I had the impression that it will just be a typical media briefing but it turned out to be something more fun and special. Tide’s new Brand Ambassador, Mr. Piolo Pascual chose to share his secret in achieving “amoy-artista” to his beloved fans. Tide Organizing a PIOLO PASCUAL Grand Fans Day was truly a great gesture and they made it a memorable experience for everyone.

Piolo “Papa P” started the event by serenading his fans and interacting with them closely so they can get to smell his “amoy-artista” scent. There where fun games and surprises for all the die-hard Piolo Pascual fanatics and the host teach everyone to do a "smellfie". But what made the day extra special is when he gets to share his secret to smelling so good! Some would say, it’s probably by using an expensive perfume but you’ll be surprise to know that the BIG SECRET is a new detergent.  

The BIG SECRET is out!!! You can now get to have the “amoy-artista” scent like Piolo just buy using the new Tide Perfume Fantasy. It has Downy perfume mircocapsules that clings to clothes even when exposed to malodors kaya Parang Naka-Perfume Everday si Piolo! So make the big switch and get the chance to smell like Mr. Piolo Pascual with the new Tide Perfume Fantasy (only 6 pesos per sachet).

The event ended with everyone being extra happy by meeting “Papa P” and getting the inside scoop of his amoy-artista scent . We all get to go home with free samples, a cute Piolo Pascual fan shirt and a happy memory of this awesome event.

Creative Origami Pop-Up DIY Videos

Recently, I watched a video in YouTube about Origami pop-up cards and toys and it inspired me to research some DIY videos where I can learn the basics of Origami.

What is Origami?

“Origami from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques.”

Now here are some simple and cute YouTube video tutorials where we can all learn the basic of this beautiful paper art called origami adding a modern twist to it with making it a pup-up card!

Make Brushing More Fun with Minions!

Being the “single aunt” in the family can sometimes be challenging since you’re obliged to babysit the kids from time to time. Last March, my nephews from Australia stayed with us for 2 weeks and that made me the official babysitter when the parents are away. It was not easy because I don’t have a kid of my own yet (unless you count my dogs as my kids) and both of them are boys (so extra playful). I did all, from preparing food, bathing, playing with the boys and toothbrush.

What I noticed is that my nephews just like doing stuff together and loves cartoons. Making kids brush their teeth can sometimes be challenging especially when they are not in the mood. So our solution to make brushing time fun for the kids and the family is to do it together. Make it seem like a fun game you can all do and don’t forget to bring their favorite cartoon toy with them of course.

That is what I love about Colgate’s Minions toothbrush and Minions toothpaste. Because kids loves “The Minions” and it can add fun to their brushing. Bringing in some minion vibe in their boring old toothpaste and toothbrushes (plus the Bubble Fruit flavor looks yum!!!).

So next time you're in search for a fun way to do tooth brushing, don't forget Colgate's Minion Oral Care Pack. Available in two variants:

Colgate Minions Kids 2-5 Years Old (Junior) Oral Care Pack       
Colgate Minions Kids 5-9 Years Old (Youth) Oral Care Pack

Happy Brushing with Colgate!!!!
