Oh my Nicholas Sparks!

“All great love stories have to end in tragedy, because if there’s no great love in the first place, you don’t feel anything. There is no tragedy.” --Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks is the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers THE RESCUE and NIGHTS IN RODANTHE, AT FIRST SIGHT, SAFE HAVEN, as well as THE NOTEBOOK, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, A WALK TO REMEMBER, A BEND IN THE ROAD, THE GUARDIAN, THE WEDDING, and his moving memoir, THREE WEEKS WITH MY BROTHER, written with his brother, Micah. All his books were New York Times and international bestsellers translated into more than thirty languages, and MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, A WALK TO REMEMBER, and THE NOTEBOOK were adapted into major motion pictures.

I would never know Nicholas Sparks if I hadn’t watch the movie THE NOTEBOOK. Oh my, I remember the night when I am alone, while my kids are already asleep and my husband is still at work, probably this is one of the most dramatic nights I had. I was just reading my news feeds on facebook and I saw a couple of my friends’ status about the movie The Notebook. They say that it is a very good movie, so dramatic and you’ll cry your heart out. I was so curious, I rented that movie and watched it the following night. I don’t know how to say it but it really touched my heart. I found myself crying to the point that my tears are really overflowing, or maybe I was just overreacting but I can say that that movie took a special spot in my heart.

From then on, I started watching the other movies based on Nicholas Sparks’ best selling novels. I already bought some of his books and I consider them as one of my treasured possessions.

Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirl

And as usual, this is one of the delightful sweet pasalubong from hubby. He’s the sweetest person on earth who loves simple presents and big surprises. He arrived at home from his night shift duty at around 8am. My little boy and I just got up from bed, me having my cup of coffee and my little boy having his glass of milk. It’s just another morning of what-to-prepare-for-breakfast dilemma of a mom when he arrived with 2 boxes of bread. I would like to share my honest review with Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirls.

Geronimo Stilton: Fa-mouse-ly funny and whisker-licking-good Adventure Series

My kids are just as fond of books as I am. They grew up choosing books over toys, choosing National Bookstore or Booksale over Toy Kingdom. My eldest even saves his daily baon to be able to buy his favorite book or kids’ magazines because I also teach them to be responsible when it comes to spending and saving money. As early as one year old, I encourage my kids to read because as a reader myself, I want them to spend more time reading a book than watching TV while inside the house because I learned that being too addicted to the television increases hyperactivity for kids. There are times when I see ourselves sitting in every corner of the house holding books. I have my own collections of different fiction and non-fiction books. The kids have their own collections of books, too and one of them is the Geronimo Stilton series of adventures. Php285.00 each at National Bookstore

Nutri-Del Dry Infant cereal for Infants and Young Children

My youngest son is already at his sixth month this March and I was able to try this new dry infant cereal for babies starting at six months onward. My baby Miguel tried it and he loves it! What I liked most about Nutri-Del is it’s locally made. It is manufactured by AGRIBIOSCIENCE INC. at Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. I sympathize with the local manufacturers and laborers in the country especially these days when foreign companies’ dominance is undeniable. Nutri-Del infant cereal is a rice-based from formulated single grain, gluten free cereal. It is loaded with essential vitamins and minerals to sustain our baby’s nutrient demand for optimum growth and development.
