My two boys are getting older and the older they get, the harder it is to discipline them. I saw this in one of my friends facebook status and as soon as I saw it, I sent it to my kids 🙂 And I will send it and send it to them so they will understand their INSANE mom! 🙂
I can’t believe that at my age of 41, I am still attending baby showers for friends my age! 🙂 But it’s a nice feeling because it makes us feel young 🙂

I am delayed in posting this as this happened last Sunday and today Lils already popped. Lils is in a bit of a delicate situation and we pray that everything will go well. And soon in a few months, Lau will pop too
Oops last shot with the boys!

The first of its kind in the Philippines, this new equipment is very much in demand in all premier eye centers around the world. Its acquisition by American Eye Center reinforces the latter’s commitment to be at par with global standards of quality and excellence in ophthalmic laser treatment.
The WaveLight Refractive Suite is known as the world’s fastest refractive platform . It combines two of the most advanced lasers currently available for performing LASIK surgery—the WaveLight EX500, a 500 Hz repetition excimer laser; and the WaveLight FS200, a 200 kHz Femtosecond laser.
The FS200 femtosecond laser is impressive because of its speed and ability to make the flap that is needed for LASIK surgery. There is no need for blades. The surgeon is given the freedom of choice with regard to diameter, shape, thickness, depth, angle and location of the flap according to the individual needs of the patient. Integrating seamlessly with the FS200 is the EX500, the fastest excimer laser in the market operating at 1.4 seconds per diopter of treatment. It can perform a wide range of customized treatments.
A very distinct advantage of this system over other available systems is that the Excimer laser is networked with the Femtosecond laser. With this system, All Laser LASIK becomes very convenient for the patient. The entire procedure is done in less than 20 minutes.
The WaveLight Refractive Suite brings an unprecedented level of safety and precision, allowing surgeons to provide consistently excellent refractive and visual results when performing laser vision correction.
American Eye Center has been breaking new ground when it comes to ophthalmic care since its establishment in 1995. According to Dr. Benjamin Cabrera, chief operating officer, and a specialist in Cataract surgery, American Eye Center pioneered many of the globally accepted treatments now widely being used locally. “We are continuing this trend with our investment in the femtosecond technology, because we know that quality and safety must never be compromised when it comes to treating eye conditions,” he added.
American Eye Center’s level of excellence is backed by the Associated Eye Specialists, the most experienced and longest-running EyeMD group practice in the country, composed of 18 doctors with various subspecialties. The center is also staffed with highly qualified optometrists, nurses and counselors to provide patients with personalized quality eye care.
American Eye Center is a full-service diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical eye facility fully accredited with the Department of Health and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. It houses the latest diagnostic equipment for the early detection and monitoring of all eye diseases such as Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy and Cataract.
Its location in Greenbelt 5 in Makati City has a laser suite, an operating room, a recovery room, examining rooms, and a spacious reception area. Clients can also choose from a wide array of elegant eyewear from SPEX, a world-class eyewear center adjacent to the American Eye Center and managed by The Optical Shop.
The company’s main office is located at the level 5, Shangri-La Plaza, EDSA cor. Shaw Blvd., Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City. For inquiries and details, call tel. nos. 636-0762 or 729-EYES (3937) or visit www.eyecenter.com.ph.

A modern ballet collaboration between old colleagues Joey Ayala and Agnes Locsin with the Ballet Philippines.
On August 12th at the CCP, an explosion of culture, music, politics, and history will once again be witnessed. Set in the Spanish colonial era, Encantada dances the story of an Indio rebel, Estranjero, escaping pursuit from the guardia civil. The story centers on this man’s encounter with a mountain spirit, the Encantada. Music is by Joey Ayala, and choreography is by Agnes Locsin.
Joey Ayala is a Philippine institution, best known for promoting Filipino ethnic instruments and combining these with more modern instruments, such as electric guitars and drums.
The other half of this brilliant partnership is the pioneer of the neo-ethnic dance style (and Ayala’s friend) Agnes Locsin.
Other featured artists in Encantada are Bayang Barrios, Onie Badiang, Cynthia Alexander, Cutie Paduano and Connie Lawigan-Chua.
Smart Infinity, the premium postpaid service of Smart, is dedicated to giving its users great customer service, compelling promotions, and invitations to exceptional events. For Encantada, Smart Infinity subscribers are entitled to a 20% discount. For more information, interested parties may call 637-6278.
Evening performances are on August 12th and 13th at the CCP.

I loved the smoothie I had in Alive! In fact they had so many others to choose from
After lunch and the spa, I joined the workshop where they taught us how to make a healthy smoothie!
This is coconut juice which is not in the recipe
very very delicious and very simple to make and very healthy!!!
This reminded me of the juice my Mom has every morning!! It is more GREEN than this green smoothie of the Farm. And I think this is the secret to her youthfulness and energy! She has more energy than her kids all combined!! I call her the Energizer Bunny because she literally just keeps going and going and going! 🙂 This is her recipe. The cook prepares everything but she is the one who puts it in the blender/juicer herself EVERY MORNING! My Dad used to take this but he gave up but Mom continues to take it.
2 stalks celery
1/4 cucumber
1/4 ampalaya
1/2 green pepper (small) green capcicum
1 whole green apple
3 parts of broccoli
And this is my friend, Renee’s juice
And I received this in an email about healthy juices
