A Decadent Dining Without Being Pricey at Paradise Dynasty

 

A decadent.  

I had this wish when I was younger to live a life of indulgence, having studied at DLSU and seeing my classmates spend away their weekly allowance for a simple shirt and me, coping with a meager daily budget.   I thought that one is decadent when he or she can buy everything and does not even bother with the price.  I, on the other hand, have been used to a non-luxurious life but have tried my best to buy the good stuff and suffer the consequence later, not having enough left.  

Sure one can change through time but the dream to live a life of luxury is still in place.  Then I thought, that luxury can have different meanings to anybody.  I'm still not rich, but I'm living comfortably, and I make sure to stick to my budget. 

This foodie momma chose to focus on self-worth as opposed to a net worth kind of lifestyle.

Let me call myself, for the time being, a decadent, as my experience dining with Paradise Dynasty definitely was truly indulgent when it comes to service and food quality without being costly.

Holiday Celebrations Made More Meaningful with Paskonstelasyon at Marriott Hotel Manila

 

What a way to start the holiday season right with my very first Christmas tree lighting at nonetheless than Marriott Hotel Manila, which is just within my neighborhood.  When I stepped into their dimly lit lobby donned in a long black silk dress topped with a sparkly Mango long-sleeved blouse I stepped back in time and remembered how my very first Christmas tree lighting was, oh yeah, would you guess where it could be?  It was here in the romantic Marriott lobby.

So how can I not get excited to witness once again how Marriott Philippines welcomes the joyous holiday season with their very heart- in giving.

With a grand week-long event called "Paskontelasyon," a unique and heartwarming fusion of two significant words: "Pasko" (Christmas) and "Konstelasyon" (Constellation), you can truly tell that the team behind the very thoughts and actions of the theme have put on a lot of not just effort but passion as well.

Serenitea on Their !5-Year Legacy, Being the Well-loved Local Milk Tea Brand



Whenever I pass by any Serenitea branch, one thing is always apparent, happy milk tea customers.  It has been undeniable that milk teas have become not just a trend (as I used to think back when it was starting to crawl the foodie market), but a joy-bringer.

I'm sure there would be those who would argue whether it is healthy or not, but the fact that the major ingredient is of course tea, it has healing or healthy benefits connected to it.  And I can say that all those years, there is one that really stood out in the game, Serenitea!  

Reaching their 15th year is more than a testament enough that they know how to please their customers, with their wide array of flavors (either with fruit teas or milk teas).  No wonder many brands have collaborated with them on amazing projects, they have really won the hearts of OG milk tea lovers, and have made many converts like ME!

As Serenitea celebrates its 15th year anniversary, they gathered some prime social media movers to witness the launch of their 2023 Maligayang Festivi-teas Holiday Drinks, in partnership with Pan De Manila, as well as announcing its eagerly-awaited Jumbo Cup promo dates and mechanics.

Be Math Smart with ALOHA



Do you like Math? 

Mathematics helps children make sense of their world outside of school and more so builds them up for a good foundation for success in school.  In grade school, children need mathematical understanding and skills not only in math subjects but also in science, social studies, and other subjects. In high school, students need mathematical proficiency to succeed in course work that provides a gateway to technological literacy and higher education . Once out of school, all adults need a broad range of basic mathematical understanding to make informed decisions in their jobs, households, communities, and civic lives.

I never really comprehended this, not until I became a mother myself and had been sending out my first two children to school.  You see, not many may not know this, I took BSE Mathematics with Specializations in Computer Studies.  It's a double degree, double major course offered in DLSU under the College of Education.  I'm sure you'd think I'm a Math geek or I must have some love affair with that subject, well, neither.   I'm not bad at it, however, I can tell that I'm also not too good at it.  I guess at a certain point in my schooling I found it challenging and had put more effort in learning the skills.

Come college, I initially dropped at BSE Literature, the subject I really adore, but knowing that the most in demand job back then was in computer or whatever Math-related and they pay more.  So, I transferred.  But what made me shift to Math even if I knew it might be that hard is having an engineer as a boyfriend...Hahaha... 

Anyways, up until now, I believe that one is better off knowing, rather excelling in Math can be more successful in life.  That's why when a friend invited me to a demo meeting with the people behind Aloha Mental Arithmetic PH, I didn't hesitate to come. 

What is ALOHA?

ALOHA is an abbreviation for Abacus Learning of Higher Arithmetic.  I's a tutorial program (perhaps and extra-curricular) for brain development designed for children ages 4 to 13.  

It was founded by a Malaysian, Mr. Loh Mun Sung in 1993.  He adapted and developed the concept  based on the Abacus Computational methods from China and Taiwan.  Now ALOHA is all over the world.

"Aloha is not only a Math thing," according to Ms. Crystel, the Master Trainor.  It offers a comprehensive curriculum that strengthens the mental arithmetic skills and overall brain development of a child that absorbs the program.   With continued training on a per level basis (according to age and how they started with the program), kids don't need to rely on calculators, computers or other gadgets to calculate swiftly and accurately.  ALOHA makes use of specific teaching methods to help children improve their ability to solve math problems using their mental abilities, even though the problem is quite complex.

Teaching methods can be in form of games, puzzles, and social engagement and goes beyond math skills as it targets a child's IQ and EQ.  It encompasses assisting children get their school habits fine tuned so that they can do their homework more efficiently, develop exceptional mental calculation skills, improve problem solving abilities, enhance their capacity to remember information and visualize conceptual maps in their minds.  By engaging in ALOHA, children can strengthen their cognitive abilities and buikd confidence in their math, hence preventing Math Anxiety.  Cause yes, there is such a thing already!


Integrating Two Brain Hemispheres:  Yes with ALOHA

What I like about this program is that their students can stimulate both brain hemispheres simultaneously, therefore, making the best out of their intellectual capacities and they too can experience a comprehensive improvement across all subjects, especially in Math subjects.

Are you aware of the LEFT and RIGHT hemisphere of the Brain?

Studies proves that the human brain is divided into two hemispheres: right and left. Each of these halves controls one side of the body and has specific functions.  This doesn't actually mean that a person only uses one side of the brain, it indicts that a person, say a right-brained one, uses the right hemisphere of the brain to a greater degree than the left. Hemispheric dominance is what it is called.

To break down, here are the functions of the brain hemispheres:

LEFT HEMISPHERE:

RIGHT HEMISPHERE:


image from AlohaPhilippines.com

Which one do you think you are?  How about your kids?

They say that if you're good in Math, you probably are a left-brained person, and if you're an artist, you are a right-brained person.  But learning with ALOHA, you can both use the hemispheres of your brain to full potential and gain confidence in Math even if you think you can't.

Children can start as early even before or while in Pre-school (4 years old).  The whole program comprises eight levels and can accommodate students up to 8 to 13 years old.


ALOHA creates champions! 

Ivy Sato, chief executive officer of ALOHA Mental Arithmetic Philippines, together with Mr. Sung saw the need for Filipinos to develop in Math, and with much ardor the system have forged and produced students that are proficient enough to join a global competition.  

With a Philippine team, they joined the ALOHA Mental Arithmetic International Competition Malaysia 2023.  Ms. Sato said "The recent competition shows that young Filipinos can unlock their full potential and make a significant impact in the global arena as long as they are given adequate support back home."


And what do you know!  Four of their students bagged home trophies and championships.  Rheana Yasmin Campos, 10 years old and Darylyn Faith Fabilane, 11, emerged grand champions!

Connor Yao, 7 years old, came out as a Champion as well and loved using his fingers in solving the Math problems.  Another student, Ryan Warren Merdegia, who is 9 got the 2nd runner up title.




During the event, we were given a chance to see Connor and Rheana solve short arithmetic to long sequenced arithmetic using an abacus and "mental Math."  Everyone who was watching were in awe, and so was I and would love to have my daughter Danaera be in their program.

Rekindling My Love for the Western Visayas Flavors at The Manila Hotel


Growing up, I would admire my mother get all toiled up in the kitchen whenever she'd prepare a feast for an occasion.  Her speciality was Arroz ala Valenciana.  That was before she came to Italy and get acquainted with Italian dishes, mainly pasta. 


Having grown up in Iloilo, my mother has acquired an ardent taste for the Western Visayan cuisine with occasional side dish of Ginamos.  I guess this has founded her discriminating taste which she then passed on to us, her children.  


I couldn't be any happier to be in the presence of a crowd who shared the same passion, and this has been a dream came true for me.   I've traveled to many places in our country for the love of food and with the stories that went with it, but a food tour to where my mother have spent her growing years is still in my bucket list.  But not until The Manila Hotel have opened up Cafe Ilang Ilang to highlight the best regional dishes from the said part of Visayas.

How I Literally Lived Like a Panda With pandamart

 

I couldn't over-emphasize how great a help online shopping is especially for a mom managing a household with a toddler in tow, a job or business at home and being wary of the flu season.  In my case, I have been bed-ridden for days due to influenza, getting infected from the youngest family member, but thanks to pandamart  I was able to buy the things we need at home even while I'm nursing a flu in bed, the blessings of modern living!


I got reminded of this magical app on my phone called foodpanda and inside is pandamart, after attending the launch of its first-ever physical pop-up store in the country at Trinoma Mall in Quezon City a couple of days back.   Here, consumers can physically experience the items sold in their online grocery arm, pandamart.   I didn't realize foodpanda’s online grocery store offers a wide assortment of fresh, frozen, snacks, drinks, pantry essentials, pharmaceuticals, and other household items to be delivered to your doorsteps in less than an hour.

I Did It Myself! IDIM DIY Bakery with Mommy Bloggers

 

Being a mother, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life, and most of the time we forget to take care of your own needs., as we become a slave to the household routine.  

Having a day that runs smoothly brings us joy, but it can also mean sacrificing parts of our days that are crucial to stay connected to US as PEOPLE.

For me, a smooth home operation should be a clean kitchen, organized toy bins, everyone is sticking to their own important timeline and that no one is sick!  I could hardly see a day with all these, it's a dream from me if all these are ticked.

And hey! We are individuals too, and outside of “Mommy” and “Wife”, sometimes, mom needs a break in order to be her best for everyone.

This was one of those perfect break I got to do, without thinking of the household chores and my business!

I couldn't be more grateful to the people who made this happen.

Garlic Parmesan Air-fried Potato Wedges with Tzatziki Dip


 It seems like yesterday when I was just posting my very first recipe post in the blog that I had sweltered with blood and tears, the time when I decided to officially make it a legit website.


Can’t help but be emotional and excited at the same time. As this post is my first for this year, my 13th blogging year at that.  So happy to be collaborating once again with US Potatoes as it has been our family’s go-to for an easy snack and side dish that’s both healthy and comforting yummy.


We love their U.S. dehydrated potatoes, which can easily be turned to mashed potatoes.  This time, I’m sharing one of the simplest recipes I could come up with, using U.S. Potatoes frozen potato wedges, cooked in an air-fryer, because yeah, life can be delicious and less of a hassle.  


To make the perfect air-fried potato wedges, you have to use the best quality frozen potatoes, well you can actually use fresh and raw Russet potatoes but you have to prep it before it can turn out to be crispy and tasty.  Better use the frozen one then and make life simpler.


The potato wedges are good by itself but to add more interest and make it “ala buon gustaio” (ala gourmet), serve it with Tzatziki dip which is also a healthy and versatile sauce well-loved by Mediterranean's.

First-ever Urban Farm in Newport World Resorts


The country’s pioneering integrated resort, Newport World Resorts, is taking a bolder step in its property-wide I Love Earth (ILE) sustainability program with the launch of a technology-controlled onsite farm, through Marriott Hotel Manila, to grow high-value vegetables for use in its restaurants.


The collaborators tapped BoomGrow, a regional agriculture technology startup to develop the first ILE Urban Farm within the property as part of its sustainable culinary program. Through BoomGrow’s proprietary Indoor Precision Farming technology, the entire complex will have access to farm-fresh, clean and sustainable produce throughout the year.


The opening of the ILE Urban Farm makes Newport World Resorts the first destination resort outside of Malaysia to house BoomGrow’s Indoor Precision Farming Machine. Fresh produce will be grown and nurtured within a highly-controlled environment, using best-in-class hydroponic systems that are supported by artificial intelligence to ensure optimal conditions at all times.  


The ILE Urban Farm is the latest addition to the Healthy, Responsible, and Sustainable Sourcing initiatives that include sustainable seafood offerings and cage-free egg use led  by Marriott Hotel Manila executive chef Meik Brammer. 


Last year, Newport World Resorts ramped up its commitment to caring for the planet with the launch of the ILE program, which carries out specific initiatives with concrete goals, by harmonizing the respective sustainability programs of the integrated resort and its international partner hotels.   


This has allowed the ILE initiatives to prosper, and by 2022, earn a coveted Bronze Benchmarked certification for the whole complex from EarthCheck, the world's leading certification, consulting and advisory group for sustainable destinations and tourism.
