Chicken Wings Right to Your Door for any Game Day.

Although the Super Bowl has passed for this year, it does not mean you cannot still enjoy wing delivery near me for other games or whenever you have a craving. Papa John's is available anytime when you want to host a get-together to watch basketball, baseball, soccer, or other game. It also delivers wings, pizza, and other goodies at any time- whether you are too busy to cook dinner, you are buying lunch for the office, or you are hosting a sleepover for a bunch of kids. With delicious food and great prices, Papa John's is always a great choice.

What Pairs with Wings Better than Pizza?

When you are craving wings, Papa John's offers a variety of options. Try the buffalo wings with the traditional blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce, or branch out. Other popular options include BBQ, garlic parmesan, and honey chipotle. However, wings go much better when you pair them with pizza. Go simple with a classic pepperoni, or try one of the specialty pies. The fresh spinach and tomato alfredo and the garden fresh are perfect for vegetarians, while the works, BBQ chicken bacon, Philly cheesesteak, and zesty Italian trio are perfect for meat lovers. You can also create your own, starting with one of the many available crust options such as the traditional, thin crust, and gluten free.

Papa John's Still has the Best Stuffed Crust Pizza

Speaking of crust, when you are looking for stuffed crust pizza near me, look no further than Papa John's. Years ago, it introduced the epic stuffed crust, and it is still around because it is so popular. The crust is stuffed with cheese, so when the pizza is baked, the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts to a gooey deliciousness. It is so good, in fact, that you will have trouble deciding if you should start with the pizza or the crust for maximum enjoyment. You can use the stuffed crust as a base for your own creation, or you can make it the base of one of the specialty pies. However you order it, you will not regret that you did.

Shakey's Birthday Party | Heroes, Pizza, Fun!

Yue's friend, Chiara, turned seven a few days ago. To celebrate the occasion, she had a party at Shakey's, where Yue (and I), and the rest of the Grade 1 class (and the moms, of course) had been invited. I wanted to blog about the experience, because truth be told, it's our first time to attend a Shakey's Birthday Party. Haha!

Happy Birthday Chiara!

The function room at Shakey's San Pablo can accommodate 70-80 guests. This was how the place looked like when set-up.

Birthday set-up. :)

At present, Shakey's has only one party theme available - Justice League Unlimited. Chiara, however, wanted a Frozen-themed birthday party. The staff at Shakey's San Pablo were kind enough to grant Chiara's request. The Frozen balloons, the cake, and the party favors were provided by Chiara's family, while the Justice League stuff are included in Shakey's party package.

Aside from the usual party hats, the kids were given super hero capes, which I thought was pretty cool. The boys got Batman, while the girls got Wonder Woman capes.

Game prizes and party favors.

Frozen balloons and Justice League loot bags.

Elsa birthday cake + cake pops.

Of course, no children's party would be complete without parlor games...

Yue having the time of his life. Hahaha!

Kids having fun!

And a mascot appearance, too!

Pandemonium, lol!

Captain Shakey's even went table-hopping. :)

Oh, and the food! Shakey's has four food packages, with prices ranging from Php 155 to Php 225.

Spaghetti, chicken, mojos, garlic bread, and pizza + a glass of cola.

A Shakey's birthday party runs for two hours. They are pretty strict when it comes to time, and they charge extra in excess of the allotted time. Prior to the party, Chiara's mom (who also happens to be my friend) gave us guests a gentle reminder to arrive on time because of the tight schedule. If you're planning to throw a Shakey's birthday party, I suggest you do the same with your guests to avoid the hassle. :)

With the birthday girl.

Happy campers! :)

Yue enjoyed the party so much that I'm considering Shakey's for his seventh birthday party next year. (Aside from the fact that the little man loves their Mojos and Chicken to bits!) Hopefully, they'll have more party theme options by then. :)

Take Control, and Just Dance.

I was doing well with my high-fiber diet... until Mum decided to go out for dinner last Thursday, and have pizza. And If there's one dish that can make really me cheat on my diet, this is it. I mean, really, is there anyone out there who can resist the beck and call of ham, bacon, pepperoni, and cheese?

Pizza is my Kryptonite. It's the one food that I find hard - if not impossible - to refuse. Just the thought of sinking my teeth into that cheese-filled dough is enough to break my defenses down.

Good thing there's A!life Control to help me during these trying (haha!) times.

As I have mentioned before, A!life Control is a food supplement that contains Phase 2™, an all-natural extract from white kidney beans. Proven in multiple clinical studies to minimize the absorption of carbohydrates, this breakthrough ingredient is an essential arsenal in battling against weight gain, obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

In my case, it's my secret weapon in making sure that carbs don't load up on my thighs and hips. Haha! That way, I get to enjoy my share of pizza, pasta, and mozarella sticks.

And I make amends by doing Zumba twice or thrice a week. Either that, or I play Just Dance on Mum's new XBox with my sibs.

It's remarkable how being an A!life Brand Ambassador made me live a healthier and more active lifestyle once again. Being a stay-at-home, full-time, hands-on Mom for almost four years kept me from doing the sports activities that I used to do - like jogging by the lake, playing badminton, and playing football, the sport that I love the most.

Given the chance, I would love to play football again. If my doctor clears me of my leg injury, I'd go back to the field in a heartbeat! But for the meantime, I can just sweat it out with Mum's Kinect and Bradley's Crazy Socks.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, 

one must first discipline and control one's own mind. 

If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, 

and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. - Buddha
