Experiencing Puregold Mindanao

We usually got to Cherry Fodarama when we do our grocery. But today, we went to Puregold for a quick trip. We bought items that we’ll use for Maxyn’s 2nd month tomorrow. Yay, time is flying so fast again!

First thing that I’d like to say about the grocery is that it can cause too much traffic! Why? Because it is located near a U-turn slot. Actually, the exit to their parking area is directed to the U-turn slot. That means all cars from the grocery that is headed the other way would need to go directly to the slot and could block the other approaching cars. You’ll understand me better if you happen to be in the area. I really think that stoplight along Mindanao-Congressional Avenue should be activated again.

The second thing I like to comment on how they organize their stocks. Sure they have a lot but I don’t get it why they should have a separate section for milks. This is an entirely separate section I’m talking about. That section even has its own cashier. And if you buy from there and wants to pay outside, they’ll give you a number. You will give that to the cashier outside then the bagger will get your item for you and then you pay. Weird eh?

Lastly, I don’t understand why you have to present your receipt to the person at the exit. They don’t really expect your groceries but only stamp your receipt. If there are a lot of people going out with their loots, this can be very time consuming and a complete hassle.

Oh well, charge to experience. How about you, how’s your weekend so far?

On Politicians and Television Shows

I’ve been on my maternity leave since May 31, a few weeks after the election. Since then I get to watch the television from time to time but I didn’t care that much.

Today, as my mother-in-law flip the television from one channel to another, I noticed something. Tito Sotto won in the May 2010 elections and is a senator of the Philippines again, right? If so, why is he still hosting this noontime show? Doesn’t he go to the senate to work? Does anyone here know the work of a senator, like when do they go to work and how much work they do?

I’m not pin pointing Senator Sotto here. It just so happen that he’s the only elected politician I’ve seen doing shows, I’m not aware who else does. Do you know someone else?

I’m interested to know what they do in the senate and when do they do it. I work as an employee of a multinational company from Mondays to Fridays, 10AM-7PM and 1/4 of my salary goes to tax. I don’t want to know that that money pays the salary of politicians who don’t even do their job where they should.

Our Summit Media and MediMarketing Loot

These are the stuff Ayex and I claimed when we commuted last week. Thanks to Summit Media and MediMarketing teams. I hope there are more to come!


I have two of this Growee punching bag that it made the package very heavy due to the sand. I told Ayex, instead of hitting people of herself when she’s mad, she can go to Growee and pour her frustrations to it. This way, she is able to release her anger but not hurt herself or other people.


The Growee punching bags and these are Ayex’s prize for being featured in Moms Today’s May-June issue, Precious Moments section. I’m using Baby Dove for both Ayex and Maxyn but these will surely come in handy later.


This gift certificate if my prize from FemaleNetwork. When I have spare browsing time, I go to their site and just read their posts. Most of the time I can relate to them which allows me to comment. This is what I got from commenting. Lucky eh?

Hi there! I'm Nicquee and this is my little space in this world wide web. I'm a mom of two and is happily married. I started this blog as literally my online journal where I dump my emotions. Over the years, I realized that there is more to write about. Feel free to browse through and I hope you find a thing or two that is relatable to you. If that happens, give me a shout-out!
