It's been a while since I joined online contests and I think I have plenty of winnings last year which somehow augmented some of our expenses. So, starting today I'll be sharing all the online contests that I'll be joining. So to give others a chance to win prizes as well. I do hope that you'll join on all the contests that I'll be posting and since for this year I'm not yet sure if I'm going

Lights in the Baby's Room

2012-05-22T11:50:00.000+08:00

image from moderndesignerlighting.com When I was still a bachelor, sleeping in my room is really great because I can stay to bed till sunrise. Lights are off and I can surely sleep more than eight hours. That's my life before. Now that I'm a father slacking on bed is not good. I can really now understand that parents sure does make a big sacrifice, especially with their time of sleeps.

Out On Sea Explorers World

2012-05-22T11:32:00.002+08:00

It's rare that my sons see something different and I think they have enjoyed our stroll at the mall. My family went to the mall days before Gelo's baptism and birthday. We went there to shop some clothes for Gelo for his big day. Aside from shopping we also did visit the exhibit of different sea creatures along the catwalk of the Skygarden. They call it the Sea Explorers World. That's

Family Bonding Moment at Quezon City Circle

2012-05-21T09:38:00.000+08:00

After Gelo was born there are things that we have not done as a whole family and that's because of his condition. We couldn't just bring him to a place that we don't know his too sensitive. Pre-term babies are really sensitive and are delicate. Family outings and travel should always be thought thoroughly. Parents should have enough preparation to avoid any possible negative things to

Gelo's Birthday

2012-05-11T09:32:00.000+08:00

I have been away from this blog for quite sometime. Well, first is because of some health reason and some sideline reason as well. It was really frustrating not to post any parenting tips or some events that our family have done this few weeks. Though we have lots of fun and exciting events, still I wasn't able to find time to concentrate and have a more intimate story here on this blog. I'm

Daddy Day Care: Sunday As Well

2012-04-29T05:28:00.001+08:00

I have always posted my Daddy Day Care duties during Saturdays but due to blogging events and other matters most of them were not posted immediately. Actually it seems that I'll be adding Sunday as well on my Daddy Day Care list of activities err not because my wife will be resigning from work and perhaps will be a full time mom to our kids and of course as a full time wife as well. Hehehe! (A

Friday Toys: Long Arm Plush Toy

2012-04-13T18:23:00.000+08:00

Hahaha! Found this long arm plush toy on Toys R Us and when I saw this one I instantly remember Maki's plush toy. I they are almost the same except of course with the design. Oh I forgot Maki's toy is different because it makes a monkey sounds. What's great about this plush toy is that kids can actually hang them on their neck and makes it look like these plush toys are clinging on your

Groove That Lawn with Scotts Snap Spreader System

2012-04-13T17:00:00.001+08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. For me, having a house with a lawn is really great and nice to look at. Lawn is like a balancer and illuminator for the look of the house. They make it more jolly and fun and besides its better to be greener and environmental. Well, that’s my dream house!

Justin Bieber Fans Get A Chance to Win The Limited Edition Perfume

2012-04-11T21:31:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wonder and think why many people sticks to one brand? Most of that products are the ones they really love and they do have different reasons, experiences and results when they use it. For me, trying the product first gives me more reason to decide whether to continue with it or not. Having good basis like testimonials from simple people, recommendations of close

SM City Sta. Mesa Payday Sale

2012-04-09T19:18:00.000+08:00

Weekend and payday sale has always been looked forward by many people. It is the time where we spot and hunt for something great to wear but a little friendlier with our pockets. It should be because most of the commodities nowadays are getting higher and higher. Being wise of spending is what we need and what we should do. March 30, 31 and April 1 was the best time for SM City Sta. Mesa to

Ablazing The Flickering Light

2012-04-08T17:49:00.000+08:00

This holy week my family just stayed in the house and just did a little stroll in the park. It was a free day to do things and free day to talk to God. Yup! It is just one of those blessed day that we are given a chance to communicate with God. It is the time to have a reflection of our life and our accomplishments as a believer. I could say that I'm not a great motivator when it comes to

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Family outings are sure fun and since it’s already high time for summer, vacation plans are already set on the go. Most trips are long and kids would definitely enjoy that travel if it comes with some cool music in it. Of course you’ll need a good a comfortable car that

Earth Hour 2012

2012-04-01T07:33:00.000+08:00

This is the first time that we did the Earth Hour in a mall. My wife got an invite from one of the malls in the metro and was invited to cover the said event. Gladly, we accepted it and made it to the event since it is about the Earth Hour and it's about saving Mother Earth. Even though we weren't invited we would still do it in our house and I find it more solemn to do it with your family.

Daddy Day Care: Mall Tour With Maki

2012-03-31T23:00:00.000+08:00

Mall tour?! Nah! It's not the mall tour that you usually hear with the stars. We're not that popular to get a mall tour with their fans waving but we actually did a mall tour, a tour of different malls in the metro. Yup we did a tour of four different malls in the metro. Since it's Saturday and as most of you already know that it's Daddy Day Care time and we don't have a nanny anymore so I

It's Saturday

2012-03-31T09:37:00.001+08:00

Just want to inform all the people that today is the day for the Earth Hour. Spend an hour tonight without lights and electricity to save energy and resources, also reduce the carbon emission. So, if there's an activity near your community try to join and be a part of this environmental campaign.

Friday Toys: Plush Hood & Rubic's Cube

2012-03-30T22:19:00.000+08:00

While waiting for an event I happen to let my time pass at a video arcade. We often do this when we're with our sons during our weekend bonding moment. For this time I'm all by myself and I find the place really amusing because there were one game that you can actually win tokens. Hmm... this looks good! So I tried that game for a few minutes, just to get the hang of it. When I finally

The Earth Hour, Getting People More Concerned

2012-03-29T06:00:00.000+08:00

Two more days and it's Earth Hour, that would be on Saturday, March 31, 2012 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM What is the Earth Hour? For those who don't know yet what is Earth Hour, this is based on my understanding, it is an event where concerned people all over the world switches off their electricity for just an one hour. At least for this length of time carbon emissions will be reduced and

Catch the iButterfly This Easter

2012-03-28T22:56:00.000+08:00

(Updated Mechanics) Yearly, the celebration of Easter Sunday is always followed by the Easter Egg Hunting.

Since kids love hunting and finding things why not try catching the iButterfly. iButterfly? The iButterfly, an Augmented Reality Application based technology, that will be

Just joined a community called DadTRENDS. I'm glad that my blog Daddy Yashiro's Journal fits into the community of Dads. Though I know I have encountered this community of Dads last year (I think), I never thought of joining because of less confidence on my works and I know that member blogs on this community are best of the Dad-o-Sphere that's I'm a bit reserve. Now, I do have the courage to

Monday Rush: Graduation Day! Maki's 1st Honor

2012-03-26T20:31:00.000+08:00

I know my Mondays have always been thoughts and sentiments about my crazy rush off to work, perhaps most of it. It’s how I face the heavy traffics, the outrageous drivers (sometimes) and of course my day at work. Mondays… it sure makes every working class move like there’s no tomorrow. That’s how the week starts! For this particular Monday, I and my family are not rushing to go to work

Daddy Day Care : Recognition Day

2012-03-24T23:04:00.000+08:00

Hay! It's just those times that when you thought that all the openings of the heaven have been shut off but then you'll think again because everyday is not fun day and sufferings are not everyday. There are just a time for everything it just all falls down according to His plan. Today is one of the happy days and great blessings God has given to us. Though we're not expecting it but

Parents Beware and Take Good Care of Your Kids

2012-03-24T13:49:00.000+08:00

This week there was a photo roaming around the world wide web of social networking site. I think this has been viral and most of the people who shared the picture were parents. Yes, most of them are parents because the picture being shared is actually the picture of a person who tries to kidnap a child by making alibis to the Nanny of the child. Good thing that the Nanny were pretty smart that
