In addition, here is the 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO BE A MOMMY BLOGGER:

1. Create a blog name that will represent you as a mommy blog. Sometimes it's good to include the noun mommy or mother or nanay.

2. Create an email the same as your blog name for branding purpose, in other words, for identification. After that, you can proceed to step 3 which is actually one of the most challenging part.

3. Open a blog. It has been debated for so many times which is the best blogging platform to use. For starters, I usually recommend blogspot because it is free. On the other han, if you are ready to shell out money, wordpress org is the best.

4. Design your blog. This sound like an easy task to do, it is actually, however, it can be very time consuming. The number of free templates for a blog is endless. To help you decide, set your blog tone and color. Will it be a dark themed blog? Light? What will be the primary colors? And from there, searching will be easier.

5. Lastly and most importantly, Start writing. The best way to start this is to introduce yourself. Likewise, you can also create a list of why you started a mommy blog. Or you can mention top 10 things that you would want your future readers to know about you.

Krispy Kreme Treats from Geiser- Maclang

We love Krispy Kreme.. no.. we super duper love this sweet treat. As soon as they had a taste of it, they only ask for a KK doughnut. Their favorites are Original Glazed doughnuts and Box of M&M’s minis doughnuts.

They always ask for Krispy Kreme as pasalubong and last Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB, my son asked for an orange doughnut before I left home.. that’s his term for Krispy Kreme Original Glazed.. and as usual I said yes, though with the location of our EB, I wonder where would I buy a dozen of his “orange doughnut”. I thought maybe if I can leave the EB earlier, I’ll just drop by at their branch in Galleria and bought a dozen of orange doughnut and a dozen of minis.. some of the boys love the minis.

GeiserMaclang was one of our sponsor during the EB and we were always surprised that they brought us each a half dozen box of Krispy Kreme doughnut! Pasalubong problem solved! The loot bag from GeiserMaclang also comes with an Alaxan shirt of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.

Candy Corner and Wonka: Wonka Imaginarium

When I got an invite for Willy Wonka’s Imaginarium, I immediately asked if I can bring the kids along (and another Mommy blogger, which is my sister).. I know the kids will love theis event and will have a great time exploring the Imaginarium. And they were all glad that they can come along.

“The Wonka Imaginarium is the first of its kind in the Philippines, and we’re happy to be doing this in time for the holiday season,” shares Ricky Andres, President of Candy Corner Philippines. “More than just giving everyone a chance to get to know more about Wonka candies, our main goal is to give people of all ages a great avenue to feed their imagination and to find a different, unique activity for the whole family to share this Christmas.”

It is a four day exhibit, December 1-4, where the spotlight is on for Wonka Candies. This exhibit is a partnership with Candy Corner and Wonka, a place where they harvests dreams and turns them into candies.

The kids had so much fun with the big bug, ants and the walking tree.. we entered into a closet and pretended we were flying. Then we met the witch and all of us were asked to help find the rainbow and each of us has their own magic wand! With the right spell, we were able to find the rainbow and placed our dreams..

And as we wave bye bye to Mr Wonka, each of the kids were handed out a bag of candies:

That’s a lot of candies! and we’re going to share 3 bags to our readers.. woot! just comment here and tell us what’s your fave Wonka Candy.. and don’t forget to like Make or Break on Facebook and share this post to your friends!

Blackbeard’s Seafood Island

A day after the successful PMC 2nd grand EB, I felt like I was not able to spend that much time with my kumare.. and I though this event is just perfect timing. Turns out, we’re in for a not so nice surprise.. it so happens that the event was cancelled but we did not received an email.. but it was a blessing in disguise because we were able to ask a lot of questions to Seafood Island Eastwood branch manager, Mr. Ting Galdones.. and he was very accommodating.

Blackbeard’s Seafood Island is a part of The Red Crab group. As the name suggests, this one is all about pirate and is one of the pioneer in boodle eating. According to Mr. Ting, it was their branch in Market Market that started it all. Since it is located near a military camp, the idea came from the way military men eats, bare hands and on banana leaf, boodle! And the restaurant offers more than 5 types of boodle feasts. Now, they even offer Boodle-linggit, boodle feast perfect for the kids:

As you can see, BOODLE-LINGGIT has the food that most kid would love.. there’s fried chicken in there, min burgers, hotdod on stick, bbq, popcorn and spaghetti. I’m pretty sure even adults would love this for snack.

Blackbeard’s Seafood Island also offer fresh live seafood such as Lapu Lapu, tilapia, crab and lobster. In almost every branch they have a display area where costumers can choose their seafood. Seafood Island’s Eastwood branch operates 24 hours, catering to the call center industry as well as families who usually went there for lunch or a nice family dinner. Branches in Cubao, Market Market and Technohub offers function rooms for large family gathering or other function.

We were first served with Pinoy Nachos, a very appetizing appetizer of Jimcu (first class lumpia wrapper), adobo flakes, mango cubes, green and red bell pepper and onions drizzlewith adobo sauce and And it is very pinoy indeed! The bell pepper and onion is a good contrast to the sweet taste of ripe mango cubes. The crisp of the lumpia wrapper is just perfect for the sauce, you have to finish it quickly as it tends to soften though. Blackbeard’s Seafood Island’s Pinoy Nachos serving is good for 3-5 persons at less than 200 PhP.

Then we had a dozen of Cheese Overload Oyster. Makes me wish I had my son with me, he’s the one who’s so into oyster! It’s baked oyster topped with cheese. I am not a cheese fanatic so this one is a bit overwhelming for me. I go for the classic garlic and cheese for my oyster. Blackbeard’s Seafood Island’s Cheese Overload Oyster at 200+ PhP.

Our main dish is Oxtail Kare-Kare.. wow! I can’t remember when I last had Kare-Kare.. and their Kare Kare makes me drool. Though I am not a fan of oxtail, I had my tummy filled with the veggies in dish, puso ng saging to be exact. And the sauce together with their bagoong is a dish already. Oh, I love their bagoong.. not too salty and not too sweet.

I had so much time specially that my date is my kumare.. a friend I had known only on the internet.. and it is only now (err 2nd time actually) that we got to spend some time together… it is just sad that we were not able to try their boodle feast.. would love to see my kumare eating with her bare hands (Peace Willa! haha).. but I know that won’t be practical if we’re the only people who would eat.. so when we met with other PMC members we decided we will have a lunch there second week of December! It would serve as our mini get together/ mini Christmas Party! Oh just imaging what awaits us, my stomach’s grumbling already! I hope we can try out the Tali Beach Boodle feast (Grilled Chicken, Shrimps, Liempo, Tilapia, Squid, Tahong and Crabs, Grilled Tomatoes, Lato, Mangga, Pakwan with Steamed Rice)
