Wordless Wednesday #26 | Fragrance Freak!

I'm doing the #LoveBeautyholicsFebPhotoADay challenge on Instagram, and here's my entry for Day 12: Perfume Collection. I love, love, love perfumes. It's a thing I inherited from my Mum, who has an even bigger collection than mine. (These are half of what I currently own, by the way.)

How about you? What's in your perfume collection?

Foodie Goodie | MoguMogu.

If you're following me on Instagram (and I do hope you are *grins*), then perhaps you've seen some of the Mogu Mogu photos that I've posted as of late.

You see, I'm currently on a fitness frenzy (or at least, I try) and I made a resolve to stop drinking cola, soda, and the like. The Cherry Coke that used to fill my fridge's chiller has now been replaced by Mogu Mogu - juice drink with nata de coco bits inside. And in case you didn't know, nata de coco is rich in fiber, low in fat, and has zero cholesterol content.

Mogu Mogu originated from Bangkok, Thailand and is now widely available in supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the country. With seven flavors to choose from (Coconut, Lychee, Mango, Orange, Grape, Pineapple, and my all-time favorite Strawberry), Mogu Mogu makes snack time even more fun!

Which flavor is your favorite? Have you chewed on Mogu Mogu today?
Like Mogu Mogu on Facebook (they post the cutest and most adorable photos) and follow them on Twitter!

And no, this is not a sponsored post. It's just that Mogu Mogu is so good, that it deserves a spot on my blog. Oh, and stay tuned for the surprise that I've been hinting about for the past few weeks. It's almost time to Take Control! :)

Rain, Rain Go Away!

We've had enough of you, really.

It's the Little Things that Make Me Burst at the Seams.

So many things to be happy about this week!

Finding Cherry Coke at the local supermarket. (Ergo, not at the SM Supermarket.)

Feasting on fried tofu and garlic rice. I can eat this for a week without getting sick of it, lol.

My Still Alive Special Edition album arriving at our doorstep and TOP coming home to noona! Haha! :)

It comes with a folded poster, too. 

My little man waking up early for school! 

Receiving a (late) Mother's Day + anniversary gift.

And the little man bagging the 'Star Student' medal for the week!

Hope everyone's had an awesome week, too. Happy weekend, everyone! :)

My Little Kinder Kid.

The little man is now officially a student, as classes at The Learners Academy began last Thursday. It's been almost a month since their Summer School Readiness Program ended, and my eager beaver has become even more eager to go to school.

Yue enjoyed his summer class a lot, and was extremely fond of his teacher. It's a good thing that Yue will be under the care of Teacher Love again for the next ten months. I can't wait to see how my spoiled brat will turn into a fine young man once he finishes Kindergarten. Yes, he's in Kindergarten. And he's only 3.5 years old.

While I am looking forward to all the neat stuff that Yue will be bringing home (ergo, an artwork or a crafts project), the little man is anticipating more new toys from my brother.

His Ninong Joey (that's what he calls my brother) promised to get him the rest of the vehicles in this truck collection, provided that he behaves in class and brings home lots of stars.

That toy he's holding is actually his reward for bringing home all the stars plus a ribbon during the School Readiness Program's final week.

So far, we've successfully breezed through the first two days of school. Two days down, ten more months to go, lol! :)

Now excuse me while I wolf down this Mushroom Burger. I think I need to pull off an all-nighter with all my pending product reviews and sponsor spotlight articles. Thank goodness it's already the weekend! I can sleep late and wake up late if I want to. :)

June, and Lovin' It.

The first day of June.
Can you believe that? We're halfway through 2012!
And it's already my favorite month!

Aside from December (because almost everybody loves this month, anyway), June happens to be my favorite time of the year. And why, you ask?

It's because I'm a June bride.

This year, we're celebrating - on the same day - our ninth anniversary as a couple and our fourth anniversary as husband and wife. We made it a point to get married on our fifth anniversary, because we're cool like that. And because it'll be easier for my forgetful husband to remember when to buy lavish gifts. LOL.

Today also marks the sixth month since my blogging comeback, and it's been a wonderful journey for me ever since. I feel really blessed to have come across many great bloggers and writers, to have found nurturing and tight-knit blogging communities, to have worked with amazing and generous sponsors, and to have done a handful of lucrative writing gigs here and there. I am most thankful to the people who read my blog and follow my social media handles. Getting my Alexa stats to where it is right now wouldn't be possible without them.

The past two weeks had been no exception - swamped with blog work and busy as usual. Busier, actually, ever since I became an associate writer for Korea.com. But hey, I'm not complaining. I'm loving every second of what I'm doing right now, because I can still be a 24/7 mom while I'm at it.

Right now I'm really having the time of my life doing product reviews. And it's not just because I get free stuff along the way. It's more of the affirmation of my capability as a writer and my credibility as a blogger whenever brands or companies pitch me for a review. I've been receiving a bunch of neat stuff (some of them eco-friendly, too!) - thanks to the generosity and benevolence of my dear sponsors.

Almay + NYC + Wet n Wild from Smart Shopper.

EcoTools Travel Brush Set from Eazy Fashion.

Mineral Powder Foundation from Human Nature, BB cream samples from BHappyWithMe.

All-natural Liquid Detergent + Bottle Cleanser from DNee Baby Philippines.

And I have yet to post my reviews / features about them. Hopefully, I'll finish everything before my next giveaway opens.

So far I've got my bases covered all the way until July. Meaning, all my upcoming giveaway events already have their respective sponsors. And now, I'm actually organizing my blog activities for August all the way to the end of the year.

I'm quite excited for December, truth be told. Because by then, I'd be celebrating not only my birthday, but also the first anniversary of The Rebel Sweetheart. And yes, it is imperative that I throw a huge giveaway in commemoration of.

Who knows, I might even do some sort of prelude giveaway for Yue's fourth birthday come November. :)

Home School (well, sort of.)

It's been two weeks since summer school ended, and we have another two weeks before the regular classes formally open. Guess what we're doing in between that period.

We're still studying! :)
