Meet the Supermom... Evelyn P. Castro ❤


Words are not enough to express the gratitude that you deserve for all that you have done for us all these years. Nah, English walang dating... kinopya lang... lol. Ito na...


Kaya siguro ako ganito ka grateful kay Lord kase napakaswerte ko at sa iyo ako binigay ni Lord. Ikaw talaga ang the BEST Mommy! Syempre si Daddy ang BEST Daddy. You’ll always be the number one mom to me, kahit pagbali-baliktarin man ang mundo.




Sa twing umaga na gigising ako, nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos kasi gumising pa ako at kasama ko pa kayo. Hindi ko ma-imagine ang sarili ko na wala kayo. Malungkot yun! Kaya ayaw ko isipin. 


Thank you mommy sa lahat lahat. Simula pagka bata ko ikaw na ang stage mother kapag may programs at contests sa school. Lagi ka present nanonood at umiiyak (syo pala ako nagmana sa pagka babaw ng luha). Sa mga assignments at projects tinutulungan mo ako ( hanggang grade 5 lang yata? Kse nagtiwala ka na sa akin na kaya ko. Kaya naman pinapakita ko syo lagi hanggang ngayon na kaya ko... kakayanin!) Salamat sa TIWALA na yun dahil kung ano ako ngayon (matapang, matatag, kakayanin lahat, madiskarte, etc) dahil sa yo. 




Sana makuha ko kahit katiting ng tyaga mo sa amin nung bata pa ako/kami at magawa ko sa mga "mababait" kong anak ngayon. Salamat kasi hanggang sa mga apo mo ganun ka pa rin. Mas pa nga ang 
ginagawa mo sa kanila kesa sa aming mga anak mo. #1 spoiler ka talaga!




Alamo ba na hanga ako syo ? Dapat alamo yan! Dahil sobrang mabait ka at mapagbigay. Never ka naging madamot. Kahit inaaway ka na at inaabuso maganda pa rin pinapakita mo. Kaya tuloy ako ang nagagalit eh. Kase hindi mo deserve ang tratuhin ng ganun kse isusubo mo na lang, ipamimigay mo pa. Kahit wala ng matira syo. Ganun ka ka- selfless. Sobra ka! Kse ang katwiran mo si Lord na ang bahala sa kanila at pinagdadasal mo na lang. Saksi ako sa lahat dahil simula pagka bata lagi ako nakabuntot syo. Umiiyak ako kapag gigising ng wala ka sa tabi ko. Nagkakasakit ako kapag papasyal kayo ni daddy sa probinsya ng kayo lang. kaya alam ko lahat ng nangyayari at hindi ka nagsi-sikreto sa akin hanggang ngayon.medyo delayed lang ang kwento minsan but still, sine-share mo pa rin. Kaya ako din hirap magtago ng totoo syo eh. 😊. Dahil sa iyo kaya hindi ako magaling mag sinungaling. πŸ˜‚ 
Queen Mother E with Princesas Y at Nailaholics



Hindi mo kami pinabayaang magkakapatid simula nun na ikaw lang ang tumayong nanay at tatay namin kasi si daddy nasa barko. Nagsakripisyo kayo na magkalayo para sa magandang kinabukasan namin. Lahat ng pagod at puyat, problema sa amin kinaya mo lahat mag isa. Di ba ang galing mo! Kaya ikaw talaga ang Super Mom. Hindi ako eh 😊



Ang masaya nating stay sa Cebu - Plantation Bay Resort and Spa..salamat sa aking friend/classmate Jen P. 

Kung ano man pinagdadaanan natin ngayon. Huwag ka mag alala mommy hanggat nandito ako hindi kita pababayaan. Ako ang bahala syo. Kahit mapuyat mapagod magkanda gulo lahat, promise ko syo basta para sayo okay lang lahat. Kalma ka lang. Lagi tayo hawak-kamay di ba? Ang sweet natin. Hehe. 


Laban lang ng laban, mommy! Ako naman tularan mo sa paglaban. πŸ˜‚ laban sa lahat ng hamon ng buhay. Pasasaan ba mapapagod din ang problema na subukan tayo. Problema din ang susuko. Sabay lang sa agos kasabay nun ang pagkapit sa Diyos. Nakasulat na ang mga mangyayari kaya tiwala na lang tayo na "there's a rainbow always after the rain". Tsaka "we'll all get by... with a smile". Kaya smile lang lagi ha? 😁

Haha. Kulit talaga natin!
Dapat happy letter kse birthday mo ewan ko ba, mana talaga ako sa iyo eh. Kaya malamang naiyak ka naman ngayon. Kung binasa mo nga 'to. Hindi kse kayo nagbabasa ng blog ko eh. Baket??? haha. 

Thank you for your unconditional love, my. Ikaw lang ang lovely and sexy mommy ko ever! Kahit pumuti na lahat ng buhok mo at kumulubot na ang skin. Lahat tayo magiging ganun, okay lang yun. Maganda ka pa rin dahil sobrang mabuti kang tao sa lahat. Panlabas lang ang naiiba pero ang kagandahan ng loob mo, hindi na magbabago. Post ko sana yung naka swimsuit ka eh. Kahit 4 na kame na nangaling syo nun, sexy pa rin! Yeehaaaw! 


"Behind every great man or woman is a mother who has their back when everybody else is busy stabbing it. That mother is you. " -kinopya ko 'to pero yan ang totoo! 



Happy birthday,Mommy! Wala akong ibang pinagdadsal sa araw-araw kundi magandang kalusugan nating lahat. We love you.  Dahil birthday mo, sige na pili ka lang ng gusto mo dyan... akong bahala...bahala ako magsabi kung bagay sa iyo! πŸ˜‚

How I keep my kids protected and fresh all day


I can still remember how much of a street kid I was. The only gadgets then were game & watch, Nintendo, and tetris- not that interested. I would rather go out after my siesta and play outside with my friends. As a girl Im not into tea parties and stuff like that, I'm more interested in extreme games (luksong baka, luksong tinik, patintero, tumbang preso, chinese garter, agawang-bahay, etc...) lol πŸ˜… imagine how sweaty and smelly I was πŸ˜‚ It's so gross and it drives my mom crazy. I will take a bath naman when I get home. 


In this day and age our little ones would rather play with their gadgets than play out doors. Poor kiddos, you are missing a lot of fun. Fun under the sun! I must admit my kids and I are always inside our home. Since I want to finish other house chores, I have no choice but to let them kids have screen time (both gadget and television).




I'm happy that Princess Y and I were invited to an afternoon full of learning and fun by Tupperware Brands Philippines. They also invited the Gymboree Team to facilitate play time with the kids, while us moms listen to the speakers.



Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.

Why Kids Need to Play?Play helps children gain healthy emotional development because it allows them to express their conscious and unconscious experiences regarding their feelings about their life and things that are going on around them. Play is also important to a child's neurological development.










They may start to emit bad odor after hours of play. My kids sometimes smell AWFUL after playing outside!! Only a bath helps... Who knew kids could be so stinky like that?! ha ha! All kids smell like puppies when they play outside. There's nothing wrong with your kids. That's just how they smell.πŸ˜…


While us moms were busy with the discussion, our little ones were busy playing with The Gymboree Team..

Here is a snippet of the activities :


After the activities, as expected, our kids smell like "you know" (lol) but happy that Tupperware Brands have this Playtime Collection product line that keeps our kids protected and feeling fresh again until we got home. 


Always.always.keep our little ones hydrated! πŸ˜‰

Here's the Playtime Collection:



Kids Plus+ Cologne

A gentle low-alcohol cologne with a special Hydraplus formula that contains moisturizers to help prevent dryness, leaving kid's sensitive skin soft, smooth, and freshly fragrant. With a mild pH-balanced formula that wont irritate kid's skin. This fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy lasts up to 3 hours before you need to reapply.


Kids Plus+ Powder

A gentle ultra-fine powder ideal even for sensitive kids. With allantoin that prevents irritation and inflammation while soothing kid's skin and keeping it fresh and dry. This low-dusting mild formula also decreases the ride of inhalation. Comes in a fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy.


Kids Plus+ Lotion

A light lotion that's smooth and gentle on the skin. With Nectapure to protect against pollution and 24Hr locked-in moisturizers and Vitamin E to leave kid's skin feeling velvety smooth and soft all day. With a mild pH-balanced formula that won't irritate kids skin and a fun, fruity scent that kids enjoy.

I love the Kids Plus+ products, perfect for my kids' sensitive skin. BTW, I also use the powder and cologne everyday. lovin the sweet smell... lakas maka baby! hihi. We are happy with the products!  :-)

The smell makes me want to gobble up my sweethearts.

We don't want to stop them from learning as they grow, do we? Let them kids play. Enjoy their childhood. Don't be praning!

Thank you Tupperware for Princess Y's backpack filled with Kid's Plus + goodies... mabango! 😍

All we have to do to is use Tupperware Brands Philippines playtime collection line on them so they'll be protected and smell good the whole day.

#NationalPamperingDay supports P.A.W S.


When it comes to pampering on a national scale, Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa holds the only spot. After introducing the celebration of the National Pampering Day last year, Nailaholics is back at it again this 2017 with an amplified nationwide celebration of relaxation that everyone is looking forward to this October 17. 




The National Pampering Day got off to a good start last year where Nailaholics offered free manicure service and a stress relieving hand massage from 10 AM to 12 NN on all their branches nationwide. This year, everyone will be treated to a free service of their choice: a soothing manicure, calming foot spa or a relaxing foot massage. 

“We Filipinos are very hardworking in any given aspect of our lives and a nation of energetic and industrious people best deserves real pampering once in a while. This year, as Nailaholics celebrates the 2nd National Pampering Day, we go deeper and dedicate this to everyone and remind them to take it slow, take it easy, zone out and relax for a while.” said Arvin Amaro, Marketing Head of Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa. 




“With last year’s success of the National Pampering Day, we are back this year with a bigger and much more enjoyable day of pampering. In partnership with the number one salon brand and most beloved nail lacquer brand in the world, O.P.I., National Pampering Day 2017 will accommodate more guests with the extension of pampering time until 1PM.  Also, the best thing about this year’s National Pampering Day is that it will be in support to World Vision, The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), and Save Philippine Seas” added Amaro. 

So save the date and get ready to park away any thoughts of work because the only responsibility you have is to loosen up. Wind down and head down to any Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa branch on October 17, 2017 (Tuesday) from 10 AM to 1 PM and get yourself a free relaxing manicure, foot spa or foot massage. 

Let Nailaholics’ skilled nail technicians take care of you for a little while and walk out of this Hamptons-inspired nail salon feeling refreshed and ready to bring it on again. Grab this once a year treat only at the country’s top destination for relaxation and real pampering.
