Moving Filipinos’ Lives Better and Faster with LBC



 LBC continues to grow, expand, and improve to reach more Filipinos and serve them better. Since its humble beginning in 1945, LBC has grown to be the Philippines’ leading and most trusted courier, cargo, remittance, and logistics provider. In 2018, LBC opened 80 new branches across the Philippines. To date LBC now has a total of 1417 branches with 13 000 employees dedicated to providing the courier, cargo and logistics needs of Filipinos all over the world.

 But LBC’s expansion does not stop there. This year, LBC is set to open more branches in strategic locations around the country. From January to April 2019, it has already opened 18 branches in the Philippines and is set to open a new branch in Brisbane. This is part of LBC’s commitment to widen its footprint in the Philippines and across the continents to reach more Filipinos and provide them with the most convenient, safest, and fastest way “to move” their documents, packages, and remittances. True to its mantra of “We Like to Move It”, LBC is never stagnant as it endeavors to adapt, change, and advance in order to provide its retail and corporate customers with the best services possible. As they continue to cater to the Filipino with their time-proven services like parcel sending and remittances, LBC also steps in to serve other markets like SMEs who have come to discover the convenience of running a business online. As LBC undergoes a company-wide digital transformation, they aim for nothing less than to see its customers satisfied with the benefits and added convenience that advanced technology will generate and bring about.

 LBC also continues to expand its reach by partnering with a host of other enterprises who seek to provide better service to more and more Filipinos here and abroad. Just this year, they have inked deals with Uniteller, a money remittance company based in the US, and other financial services platforms like Coins.ph, XpressMoney, and True Money.

 As LBC forges ahead with the opening of more branches and facilities; introduce new services to keep up with escalating demand from all sectors; and widen their reach through newer and bigger corporate partnerships, their goal remains the same: to move lives, businesses and communities for the benefit of all Filipinos.

FREE for Kids on Weekends. Watch for Free at SM Cinemas & Kids eat for Free Max's Restaurant

Sunday is family day for every Filipino family, especially for our kids they look forward to weekends as this are the days were they can relax after a whole week of school activities and they get to bond with their parents who were also tired from a week long work at the office or client projects and meetings. And one of the best way to enjoy family weekends is watching movies and eating out. Well, it's better if you had it for F.R.E.E. right?

Last Sunday, since we left our kids in the morning to attend an event and we came late due to so much traffic in the parking lot of one of the malls in Mandaluyong, we decided to treat them after attending the Sunday mass.

Our Kuya Erky was a fan of Toy Story from 1 to 3, this is one
of the movie he used to grow up with. And also, we would want our baby bunso #ZekydGreat to experience the same joy our Kuya Erky does when he was Zeky's age. We were able to avail the Kids Watch for Free at SM Cinema for Zeky since he's still below 4ft.
*To check the height of your kids they have this big ruler near the cashier of SM Cinema to check if your child is still eligible for the free movie tickets.
Here's where you can measure the height of your kids.

All of us enjoyed the movie so much. It turns us back to our childhood, the Woody and Jessy in us still lives on. Thank You @smcinema_northedsa for the free movie for our #ZekydGreat. He enjoyed it very much. *We've already paid for our Kuya Erky as he grown so much and he's more than 4ft already.

Photo opp with the Toy Story Gang

After the movie we've head off to eat since we didn't bring food to the cinema when we watched the movie, only popcorn's off course. Dropped by at @maxschicken at SM North Edsa, we've found out that they have this promo for kids as well. Kids aged 10 and below eat for free as long as they're accompanied with 1 full paying adult.

What a Sunday! Had 2 promos in one day. The free meal for kids includes a glass of Sago't Gulaman, Pancit, Fries and 1pc chicken.
Actual kids meal at Max's Chicken

Though we were expecting a spaghetti instead of the Pancit and the missing in action dessert bar. Since we were 2 adults our 2kids had their own meals, meaning we've had 2 free meals for our kids. So nice❤️❤️❤️, the budgetarian Mom in me was so happy😁😁😁. Please take note that the free meal for kids only applies every Weekend, Friday-Sunday, promo runs until Dec 29, 2019.
Please excuse our Zeky's madungis shirt, he likes popcorn🍿so much🤫
Kuya Erky 😉

So next weekend you know where to spend your Family day with your kids already ok? There's no excuse anymore not to spend a weekend with your family. Now is the best time while your kids are still kids and you can still bring them wherever and whenever you want to. Time flies so fast, make every minute count😉👨‍👩‍👦‍👦.

Happy Family Bonding Everyone!

Donate a Book by SM and Book Donation Drive by IBM Club PH


Before we had our first child I always knew that I will make sure my kids will grow up reading books like I used to be ever since I was a kid. And I am glad my son Erky grew up reading any books. I would say his a bookworm at his very young age of 10.

Even before he started going to school we already had a mountain of books at home. When we go to the mall he always wanted to drop by at any bookstore he had his eyes on.

And because of that, we wanted to give back. We want less fortunate kids to experience the joy in reading as much as we do. We always look for Book Donation Drive anywhere. And we're happy that for this month we've found 2 Book Donation Drive to be given for the public schools here in the Philippines.

The DONATE A BOOK by SM Supermalls, #SMShareMovement. The good with this book drive is you get to have a 50peso Discount Coupon for every books or bundle of books you shared. The discount coupon can be used when you purchase on a minimum of 500 single receipt purchase at SM Stationery.

ctto SM Supermalls



Another Book Donation Drive is within the company I am currently employed. The IBM Book Donation Drive 2019, my post is a little bit too late as the deadline for submission will be on the 4th of July, but still, there is still time to pack your old books, used textbooks from Private Schools and pre-loved books. Instead of just letting those old books stocked in your bookshelves, why not give less fortunate kids to have that opportunity to read what you have been fond of reading. 
For this Book Donation Drive, it will be shared to Kalantiyaw Elementary School but if the club receives more books than expected then more public elementary schools will be reached.

FYI, I am willing to pick up your book donations (for Quezon City peeps only, but can do meetups for your convenience) for IBM Club and will drop it off to the designated Donation Box located in our office, just DM me. Please take note that the deadline for your donations will be until July 4, 2019. 

For the SM's Donate a Book you can drop by at any SM Malls in your area and have your discount coupon in exchange for your donations. Please take note that the deadline for your donations will be until July 7, 2019.

I am preparing our books to be donated for this donation drive and will update this post soon for the books that we have gathered.

Thank you in advance for your kind hearts.

Baking Powder B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House is Amazing.

Part of my daily morning routine after completing my night shift is washing my face with this new found favorite - Baking Powder B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House.
Baking Powder B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House
Been using this for more than 2 weeks now and I can say the result was satisfying. I noticed my breakouts have stopped from getting worse (having problem with breakouts due to stress for months now🤫), it dries up the acne on my face and even lightens dark spots on it. Bought this in Shopee PH just to try if it works. And thank God it incredibly works for me, and now I'm loving it❤️. Check out my before and after photos below👇.
Before using B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House #freshness
After washing my face with B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House #freshness

Aside from that freshly feel after using this facial foam, I also notice that my skin is not too oily anymore. It doesn't feel sticky as well. When I say fresh I mean fresh, really really fresh. Especially these days when it's too hot in the morning and then suddenly rain will fall in the afternoon or evening.
I've been using this 3 times a day, morning, noon and nighttime before I get to work. That's it! And the freshness is real, so how many times have I've mentioned fresh?!?🤭

But don't get me wrong here peeps, aside from using B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House as my facial foam, I still have a couple of things to use for my face as my daily regimen (will write in a separate post), cause as mentioned previously I've been having problems with my breakouts lately. And also, I didn't say that my acne's are totally gone. I still have a few but not to the extent that I call it a breakout. Let's just say what's left would be just the result of lack of sleep due to night shift schedules. 

Sharing with you my latest pic just as of today before I finish this blog and go to sleep. No filter, No HD, just me and my eyebags and the face washed by B.B Deep Cleansing Foam by Etude House.

Manila Ocean Park Itinerary 2018

October 30, 2018



#ZekydGreat's 2nd Birthday Celebration at H2O Hotel and Manila Ocean Park. We did buy the MARINE VOYAGE (15) package for our tour, this is inclusive of 15 attractions already. Each ticket cost 995 pesos, this price is for their Yuletide Deals promo from October 1 to November 30, 2018.
Since we have a birthday celebrant we were able to buy the Special Birthday Blowout - Marine Voyage (3+1). For 1 birthday celebrant, he must be able to bring 3 full paying guest to avail the free birthday ticket. What a deal right?


Day 1: October 30, 2018 - We finish first all the attractions that are located in the Ground /1st floor so we won't forget anything that is included in our package since we did get the package that has all the attractions included and please note that if you are not checked in at the H2O hotel you won't be able to use it again some other day (not like before when if you're not able to visit all the attractions in your package as long as you have the stub or the ticket with you, you can still use it for 6months if I remember it right). But since we are checked in for 2 days and 3 nights we can just have it re-validated the next day or until we checked out from the hotel.
Sadly, it was the coming of Typhoon Rosita and it was raining hard on our 1st-day tour, that is why the Symphony Evening Show has already been canceled and it was replaced with the Jellies Exhibit.

Below are the attractions we were able to finish visiting for our 1st day (in ascending order)

Birds of Prey Kingdom
Sea Lion Show
World of Creepy Crawlies
Super Toy Collection
*Coffee and Cake lunch at the cafe inside the Super Toy Collection
Jellies Exhibit
*Ate some pica-pica near the Jellies Exhibit and Super Toy Collection
Penguin Talk Show
Oceanarium
Trails to Antartica
Penguin Exhibit & Christmas Village
Back of the House
Fish Spa
*Dinner at Gerry's Grill MOP.

Day 2: October 31, 2018 - We checked out first from the hotel before we proceed with our 2nd-day tour at Manila Ocean Park because we really want to finish all attractions that are included in our package. Another sad thing is, as much as we've tried, we weren't able to finish all attractions that are included in our package because it was raining hard on our 1st day, so we weren't able to try the Neon Rides. While on our 2nd day the start of Neon Rides is 4pm and we're already done with our tour before 2pm. Sadly our neon rides were forfeited already.

Below are the attractions for our 2nd day (in ascending order)
The Barnyard
The Birdhouse
All Star Bird Show

I have included the ticket packages for your reference below and the operating schedule of all attractions at the lower part.

We hope you find this post helpful for your Manila Ocean Park Tour. We'll be sharing more of our MOP tour soon.

Happy Reading. Travel More and Enjoy!

Himalaya HERBALS Purifying Neem (Facial Wash)

So lately I've been having problems with my acne. Suddenly my acne's keeps on multiplying in my face, maybe because of too much stress daily, plus with less than 8hrs or sleep, I am lucky enough if I'm able to complete a 4 hours sleep but that will be a once in a blue moon event during this days. It is because I've been working on night shift, managing our business as well, plus I have 2 kids to take care of and been a breastfeeding mom straight since day 1 of my turning 2-year-old son. 
Acne all over my face
I've been having problems with my acne since after I gave birth in October 2016. I've tried everything to at least lessen the problem in my face, but have no luck. Then on October 15 while buying in the supermarket I saw Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash, cause I've read it was "HERBAL" so I was thinking maybe I can get a little help on this.
Here's the acne on my face before I try to use the product. I would want to see the changes that's why I've recorded my face so I will know if there will be changes after I use it.

As per label:

It was really frustrating looking for a product that will help me with my skin problem, especially with my face. I cannot just use anything I would want to use as my face skin is quite sensitive. Normally I would look for a product that is natural and herbal. That's why when I found this product in Hypermarket I grab it at once.

The texture of this facial wash is a gel type. So the first time I use it, it really felt different compared to the other products I've used before. It hasn't dried up my skin, it felt moistured already even before I put on my moisturizer. I didn't even use any cleanser after using this. I put on moisturizer directly after washing my face with Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash,



Gel type texture of Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash,
THE RESULT:

Since I've purchased this on October 15, 2018, I never stopped using it. Been using it 3times a day, 1st-before I sleep in the morning(since I am working on night shift), 2nd-when I woke up in the afternoon or when I took a bath, 3rd-before I go to work in the evening. Also, when I came from outside and I felt my face was dirty already I washed it again since I never find using it more than 3 times a day harmful because it never dries up my skin.

As of October 19, 2018, I still have a few acne's, whiteheads and blackheads on my face but it never felt dry anymore and there's no more itch since as mentioned it never dries up my skin, and besides it was just 4days ago then when I started using it.
From October 15-19 result. 
I'll be posting more photos for the result. Still using it 'til now. I will update after a month of using Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash with the changes in my face. Will really give this a try for a month, hopefully, this will help with my acne problems. I will also try their different products including the toothpaste, hopefully, I'll be able to find one soon.


Where to purchase Himalaya Herbal Philippines products - Watsons, Mercury Drug, SM stores, Lazada.
