Father's Day List : A Top 5 To Do's For Grown Up Kids

Planning Father's Day is much more cuter (and easier) when there are little kids around.  But since I'm already married and my siblings are all grown-up, art & crafts are out of the picture for now until may be when his apo arrives.

Inside My Survival Kit

My Survival Kit Essentials

I've been a busy bee this past week.  Not only did my day job and recently activated blogger's life required me to go all around the metro (literally), I also attended a string of family gatherings for my Ina's week-long life celebration.

To keep me worry free while I'm on-the-go, I made sure I packed these essentials for my survival kit alongside my makeup bag.  

Top 5 Picks: "Gift Ideas for Sis"

Happy Birthday Hannah Batsykow!

It's my 'lil sister's birthday today so I'm dedicating this post for her - and for those who're still clueless what to give her.  She's actually all grown up now, but she'll always be my baby sis. :-) 

Here are Ate's top 5 gift ideas for Sis, which i'm sure she'll definitely love:

1.  Make up! Make up! Make up!

Sis likes to play w/ her eye shadows. 
You can tell her mood with her eye makeup :-)

2.  Makeup classes

Fab for her sideline/ fall back career
but make sure she'll agree w/ my % commission per booking!

3.  Shopping Spree :-)

For more fab clothes + accessories, a girl can't get enuf right? x_X 
(i'm starting to think this is not a good idea, clean closet muna!)

4.  Bookstore Gift Check  



For Sis' archi & artsy supplies + some organizers/ boxes pls!





5.  Camera

How about a new cam for her OTD & endless self portraits? 
Mmm, but it has to be shock & water proof w/ built-in charger
para di nawawala!

Love you Sis!  Stay pweety!

-Ate



Top 5 Picks "Healthy Lunch To-Go"

Since I'm in a 2-month dare of trimming down before our 1st wedding anniv, I compelled myself to eat healthy meals even at work.  It was quite a challenge considering my budget; nevertheless, na-carry ko naman!

Here are my top 5 picks for healthy lunch to-go. Enjoy!

KFC TWISTER

SM SUPERMARKET'S FRUIT COCKTAIL

Make your favorite fruit mix, add some cream & jellies, and then weigh it in!

SM Supermarket Fruit Cocktail (P158/kg)

ABOY'S FRESH LUMPIA

Would love to hear your suggestions, I still have a couple of weeks to go! :-)

*Not happy with my KFC Twister from KFC Gateway Mall, opted with carton photo for this blog. :-( 

Top 5 Picks "Guiltless Office Snacks"

(late posting)  It's an hour before lunch and my tummy's grumbling.  I don't want to ruin lunch and upset my "recently resumed" diet so I munch on some low-calorie snacks to keep my tummy quiet.  J

Here are my top guiltless office nibbles that I keep in my stash

1.      Nuts. Nuts. Nuts. 

HAPPY:  All time fav of our team :-)

2.      Raisins. 

Great for digestion + some sugar for my sweet tooth

3.      Oats/ cereal drink.

I go for Nutri-go's chocolate cereal drink (who says I can't have chocos?)

4.      Yogurt. 

They say its acquired taste, but I’d like to think yogurts are actually substitutes for ice creams. 

All time fav, Nestle fruit yogurt.

my 3 favorite fruit flavors :-)

5.      Coffee. 

Depends on the weather, I either have it hot/ iced cold. 

Nestle Brown 'N Cream 3in1 (YAMMY! lol)

Best of all, these also serve as emergency food for prolonged meetings; stress-relievers; or even  pampagising!  Have a great day :-)
