Disney on Ice at The Big Dome

Oh my!

Just reading the title makes me want to withdraw and back out on our upcoming field trip this Friday.

If only I have known this earlier... tssskkk...

I've been dreaming for my daughter to go to Disneyland someday. Well, everyone- including white-haired adults, for sure has dreamt of going there. You know, the thrill of seeing those famous Disney characters, who wouldn't like the idea?

Its like a treat good for life. lol

I was disappointed and nearly depressed already (kinda exaggerated?NO!!!) and I blame myself for not reading or watching too much news. But then, thanks to Facebook- where it was posted by Smart Parenting.

Anyhooo, the said show will be crowded with more than 50 Disney friends. Imagine that? It will start on Christmas day at SMART Araneta Coliseum. It is a never-before-seen show, Disney on Ice presents Let's Celebrate.

The all-new production will showcase a magical medley of holidays and celebrations that will transform the Big Dome into a colossal party on ice.  Audiences young and old will be delighted as they join Mickey Mouse and friends on a delightful tour of festivities jam-packed with fun surprises, spectacular skating and vibrant costumes. Filipinos will be enthralled as they witness one exciting event after another, including a Valentine's Royal Ball with the newest Disney princess, Tiana; a very Merry UnBirthday Party with Alice and the Mad Hatter; Jack Skellington's frightfully festive Halloween Party with the Disney Villains; and a Hawaiian luau with Lilo and Stitch.

It will be from December 25, 2011 to January 3, 2012,  call Ticketnet at 911-5555 for purchases and show schedules.

YS: Hot Bulalo

Yaayyy! Looking through my archives when I saw this hot bulalo we have had last time when we're at Baguio. Now I'm craving for this, perfect for the cold weather.

Mall Rat Gone Shopping for Clothes

This little lady is undeniably a certified mall rat. I guess it runs in the blood too ;) I am fortunate that she isn't the type who whine a lot while in the mall unlike other kids.

But this mall rat of mine, sheessshh... she loves it so much.

She always had fun whenever we go out like last time. She tried on different clothes and shoes. And she chose what we bought.

I say, she has a fashion sense. She always picked those expensive stuffs. Yaayy!

Now that's what I call one of the few disadvantage of bringing her to the mall. lol

Lip Care

How do you take care of your lips?

Here are some ways to do that...

• Drink plenty of water, thoroughly hydrate your skin, including lips.
• Avoid harsh weather. If this is impossible, make sure you always protect your lips by applying a lip balm.
• Try using the lip balms regularly. If you wait until you have chapped lips, the recovery will take longer.
• Try not to lick your lips or remove the skin with your fingers. It irritates the skin, and slows down any efforts we invest in lip care.
• Make sure you take vitamin supplements. Often, cracks in the corner of the mouth indicate a deficiency of Vitamin B2.

Start off with a lip scrub recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• Olive oil

Mix honey and baking ingredients until the mass resembles a paste.
Apply the mix on your lips and leave it on for a couple of minutes.
Gently rub the lips.
Wash of with lukewarm water

Let the lips dry out and then apply olive oil. It will help the lips hydrate.
