Reborn as a 5-year-old

Jul 15, 2011 General

Reborn as a 5 year oldMy 5-year-old woke up and said, “Now that I’m 5, I can skateboard.” So off she went, outside, and jumped on the skateboard. Really.

Next she wanted me to take the training wheels off her bike, but I said, “Wait until Daddy gets home.”

Truthfully, I was just freaked out that she might be able to ride a bike without training wheels, just because she was 5.

Kindergarten is upon us at the beginning of August.

Sometimes she reminds me that she is still very young.

Like when she came home from the neighbor’s house yesterday, crying, that the kids told her she was “littler than them.”

“But I’m big, Mama. I’m big. I had my birthday.”

Or just how much she enjoys a treat. She considers it her right, as a citizen, to eat a cupcake for breakfast, or a Magnum ice cream bar in the afternoon. (Promise, I have never let her eat cupcakes for breakfast, but it doesn’t stop her from asking. Every. Single. Day.) I think only kids think this, and only adults eat cupcakes for breakfast.

Here she is, not sharing with Mozely. He can tell that he’s missing out on something. Reborn as a 5 year old

Reborn as a 5 year old(As you can see, a 5-year-old also still does not let me brush her hair without screaming like a banshee. We have cut off dreadlocks that gather in the wilds at the nape of her neck.)

I got a coupon from Foodbuzz through their Tastemaker Program for a free box of Magnum bars. The cashier at the grocery store couldn’t believe my luck.

I have a pretty high standard for ice cream bars, because in general, I don’t like ‘em. I think they’re covered in wax and the ice cream is bad quality. The chocolate did melt, quickly, which is important to me. And it was thick enough, instead of a waxy candy shell. The main thing that won me over?

A ribbon of velvety, soft caramel between two chocolate layers. Yes, you can come over for an afternoon snack at my house, Magnum. Reborn as a 5 year old

She savors better than anyone. I hope she won’t lose her 5-year-old self in a year. Let’s hold on to that a little longer, please.

Cutting the Red Ribbon

Nov 17, 2010 Bakery Stores

Among of the most popular bakeries in the Philippines, the Red Ribbon Bakery has become the most popular when it comes to providing some of the most luxurious and delectable collection of cakes across the country.

After nearly 30 years in its growth, Red Ribbon became the most successful bakeshop around the Philippines and even stretches its reaches across the world. What started as a hobby-induced business in 1979, along the old streets of Timog, Quezon City, Red Ribbon now boasts its growing number of over 170 outlets all over the country and 19 stores in the US.

Red Ribbon partly owes the majority of its popularity to Jollibee Food Corporation. Because of its acquisition in October 2005 by Jollibee Foods Corporation, a conglomerate of popular fast-food chains in the Philippines, Red Ribbon entered a new phase in its company history and aimed to become the biggest and fastest-growing bakeshop in the Philippines.

With Red Ribbon’s popular collections of cake, pastries, and food products such as lasagnas, macaronis, and pastas, Red Ribbon food products can now be purchased even on the internet. And among of the most reliable places to buy Red Ribbon products would be Express Regalo.

Express Regalo is an online gift shop based in the Philippines that specializes in offering a wide collection of gift items for Filipinos living and working abroad. Their collection includes gift baskets, beauty products, electronics and home appliances, flowers, prepaid cards, toys, and food products coming from some of the Philippines’ most popular restaurants including cakes from a genuine <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.expressregalo.com/category.aspx?scid=5&cid=2″>Red Ribbon Bakery</a>.

Express Regalo was developed and launched to provide Filipinos abroad a fast, reliable, convenient and hassle-free way to shop and send gifts to their loved ones in the Philippines.

Part of what made Express Regalo to be very popular amongst the OFWs is because of its delivery services. Express Regalo is owned and operated by eLBC Direct, Inc., an LBC company that is dedicated to providing Filipinos overseas access to products and services apart from the traditional products offered by LBC.

So if you ever wanted to buy and send some food products coming from an authentic <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.expressregalo.com/category.aspx?scid=5&cid=2″>Red Ribbon Bakery</a>, then visit Express Regalo at <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.expressregalo.com”>expressregalo.com</a> for more details.
