Few months ago, I had my change oil in Shell and got a free Glade Air Freshener. On Wednesday, I am so excited that another promo is happening in Shell. They are giving Lego® Collection for a corresponding purchases including Shell Helix Oil.

The one I Got (Taken from Instagram)

I know Matthew will be happy to see a new car as a reward for his excellent quarterly exam results. Unfortunately, I didn’t handed the said toy to him because of his behavior in class that his teacher reported two days ago.

What would you expect from a 4-year-old boy? Makulit talaga lalo na at mag-isa pa lang siya at wala masaydong kalaro sa bahay. But the reported one is different. I don’t know if Mommy will share it on her Momaye’s Diary blog.

This is not to punish him but Mommy and I would like to let him realize the consequences of such behavior in class.

Why Give Blood to Philippine Red Cross?

by Allan D

Chemist Dad: A Proud Donor (Taken from Instagram)

Last Friday, our company had a Blood Letting Activity assisted by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC). Upon knowing that we will have the said activity, I didn’t hesitate in donating my blood because this will be the first time for me.

Also, donating blood can be a sign of having good health. According to PRC representative during the pre-orientation, not everyone can donate blood. There are others that are willing to give theirs but some are not capable due to some health reasons (hypertension, anemia, etc.)

What are the benefits of blood donation?

Improves overall cardiovascular health.
Blood donation helps reduce the level of iron in the blood reducing the risk of heart disease. Studies showed that chances of heart attack and stroke were also reduced. Furthermore, high amounts of iron in the blood is also linked to some type of cancers.

New Cellphone, Check!

by Allan D

One of the items on my Christmas Wishlist is a new cellphone but I was hesitant to buy a new one since I still have the company phone issued to me two years ago and it works very fine. Just thinking “practicality”.

Until last month, Mommy already convinced me to buy a new. She told me that I need a smartphone, kahit pinakasimple lang, since I need to check on my e-mails regularly which my old cellphone could not provide. At isa pa, it has been almost 8 years the last time I bought a new phone.

While waiting for the salesman to bring my new phone for testing, Mommy is searching for a possible unit to buy on December. I told her, “Kung gusto mo, kumuha ka na din ng bago mong cellphone.”

Unfortunately, the upon testing the unit she picked is not functioning and no other stocks in the store available that time. So I told her, why not to get the same unit I got. Konti na lang naman na ang idadagdag sa price.

Throwback Thrusday: Sleeping Beauty 2

by Allan D

In one of my posts, I shared a sleeping photo of mine captured by one of my college classmates.

Last week, while browsing the photos in my hard disk, I saw another sleeping photo, this time taken by Mommy using her cell-phone.

This shot was taken while having a short nap during our lunch break. Actually, I can easily fall into sleep kahit nakaupo or nakadukdok lang sa table. Sabi nga nila: "Masandal lang ang likod, tulog."

I can't remember if Mommy showed me this photo when I woke-up.

Have you been a victim of sleeping photos too?

Taiwan Excellence: Excellent Lifesyles in the Philippines

by Allan D

Many of us, Filipinos, have a great interest on imported products from American and European Countries believing that such products have a better quality compared to others. On the other hand, when it comes to Asian countries, some give less importance on such products especially the China-made. Many have a great scare due to the past issues of melamine and heavy metal contamination (lead and mercury for example).

To reduce such scare, Taiwan launches a campaign here in our country named as “Taiwan Excellence” organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Bureau of Foreign Trade, R.O.C. The aim of this project is to bring around 175 products of 56 top quality brands of Taiwan to the local market. The products cover the field of information and communication technologies, home and living, and sports like Acer, Asus, BenQ, Draytek, HCG, KingCom, KW Trio, Kymco, MSI, Silicon Power, Sym, Transcend, and others.
