Sponsored Video: Safeguard’s Para sa OA kong Nanay

Have you watched the latest video from Safeguard? It was shown in TV and also on social media just in time for Mother’s Day last week. I’ve watched it a lot of times and the video still leaves a tug in my heart. I guess this is why the video has gone viral with a million views on Facebook as of this writing. It’s one of those commercials a lot can relate, not just Filipinos. We all grew up in the loving arms of our mother or our Nanay. Mothers are considered as “ilaw ng tahanan” or “light of the house”, but with all their sacrifices and unparalleled love and support to their children, mothers are considered to be another pillar of strength along with the fathers. She may be OA at times but she means well and only wants the best for us.

Para sa OA kong Nanay by Safeguard Philippines

Have you watched the video? Let me share to you something about my mother. My Nanay is a softie and a toughie just like Safeguard which provides protection for the Filipino family for the last 50 years. She raised me and my brother all by herself most of the time because my father is an OFW. In our house, she’s both the father and mother. However difficult her responsibility is, she never faltered in giving us equal and undivided love and attention.

They said that you will never understand your mother until you become one yourself. Looking back, I realized it must be very hard for my Nanay before because she took care of us without the help of my Papa. I am also now a mommy but Nanay is still here for me and my daughter. And I could not thank her enough for this.

It’s not too late to send a message to your Nanay. Tell the whole world you love them by sharing on Facebook or Twitter and using the hashtags #Safeguard50 #ThankYouMom.

You can watch the video on Facebook and Youtube. Don’t forget to like and share on FB and give a thumbs up on YouTube.

Nourishing skin care for moms and kids from Johnson’s Baby

Being a mommy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is truly a demanding yet fulfilling and rewarding role. There are difficult days for sure but the joys of motherhood surmount it all. Aside from having a mommy role, you have to fill in the wifely duties too. Oh, and a career woman too if you’re like me. You divide your time to your kid/s, to your husband, and to your career, do you still have time for yourself?

Best staircase designer

You have a lot of different options when you are building your staircase.  In fact most places that sell handrail have around 18 popular styles they use.  That is just the handrail.  You then have balusters and shoes and all the other components that go into a staircase.  If you do some research you can find software that does the staircase design for you.  You can plug the different styles in and see what they will look like together.   This can save you from getting something you really didn’t want because it will visualize it for you.  The more advanced programs will even show the different colors of the wood species and the different finishes on the metal stair parts.

On leaks

Remember my recent project about our bathroom? It seems to me that I need to speed things up because we just discovered leaks on our present bathroom. One night, I woke up to a waterfalls-like sound, only to find out that the water pipes got disconnected. The entire second floor was flooded and the water cascaded into the stairs. We ended up cleaning up in the middle of the night.

The contractor said that we need not install new pipes, just a few replacements on elbow joints and threaded insert. I think we should give it a go, besides, repairing the leaks also helps in lowering the water bill and also conserves water.

How about you? Do you have any leaky situation or any house repairs this summer?

Project Bathroom

I’ve been meaning to renovate the bathroom on our second floor ever since we moved from the third floor. But I’ve been so busy that I wasn’t able to attend to other duties. But every time I take a bath in the morning, I will always remember that this bathroom needs a major overhaul. I enjoy taking long baths and since I hang out in the bathroom, I should make it pleasant to stay at too, right?

From time to time, we visit home depots and I’m enamored with colorful tiles for the bathroom. I want yellows, I want pinks, heck, I even want a multi-colored bathroom tiles. But knowing me, I will easily get tired of colorful ones, so I just want a black and white zen inspired bathroom or a relaxing white and blue color combination just like the one below…
