Walk This Way at the Boulevard


I am just too glad that Macasandig Boulevard is near our place so that I can have a long and peaceful walk early in the morning. I admit I lack exercise but I guess I will be frequenting this place since it is just near and very conducive for walking. I understand this will be opened to vehicles soon but at least there is a walkway for people who just likes to, well, walk. I am also savoring this moment while only pedestrians are allowed to stroll on the streets. Right now, my goal is to hopefully reach the other side of the road one of these days :)

Discover the Magic of Sarah Skin

I attended the Sarah Skin event at Limketkai Luxe last May 16, 2024. Cagayan de Oro's very own Reysan Jaramillo, the owner and founder, first introduced Sarah Skin in Dubai where she is based. After its success there, she brought the brand to the Philippines.

Sarah Skin offers several benefits: 

  • Natural and gentle care
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Safe for pregnant and lactating women
  • Suitable for men
  • Safe for teenagers
  • Enhances skin health and appearance
  • Accessible and affordable products

I have personally tried Sarah Skin 5-in-1 Whitening Beauty Scrub, which exfoliates, softens, whitens, moisturizes and contains collagen. I usually pair it with their Collagen Whitening Serum, which gave my skin a soft glow just a few days after using it.

Aside from their facial products, they also offer Anti Hair fall Shampoo and Keratin Conditioner, which I plan to avail soon.

For more information, you can check out Sarah Skin on Facebook and Tiktok.

GCash launches Green Transaction Alerts

New feature shows carbon reduced by doing digital transactions

GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance app and largest cashless ecosystem has announced its newest update, Green Transaction Alerts, which allows users to see the grams of carbon they reduced by digitally sending money and doing bank transfers.

GCash’s newest feature is the latest innovation to underscore the fintech giant’s commitment to sustainability. In 2019, GCash commissioned the China Beijing Environmental Exchange to compute carbon emissions of manual transactions converted to digital ones. The Green Transaction Alerts make use of the same computations and metrics, allowing users to see their reductions in carbon emissions by transacting digitally. The reductions in carbon emissions are realized when users forgo the consumption of paper and plastic or the use of electricity and transportation when they do their manual transactions.

“Sustainability is embedded in the way GCash conducts its business, and we’ve provided ways for our users to see how their actions on the app also contribute to environment- friendly actions that ultimately protect our planet and contribute to a greener future,” stated CJ Alegre, GCash Sustainability Head.

The Green Transaction Alerts complement other in-app sustainability features of GCash, including the award-winning GForest, which allows users to contribute to reforestation efforts through gamification. As of 2024, a total of 2.7 million trees have been planted by GCash, resulting from users’ digital transactions.

“We continue to look for ways to become an even more sustainable company, and more importantly, to provide avenues for Filipinos to take action for the planet - and this is only the beginning as will gradually make these alerts available for other transactions in the coming months. Combining the power of tech with innovation and creativity, we hope this will form a habit for Filipinos to consciously act towards creating a positive impact with every simple digital transaction they make,” added Alegre.

About GCash
GCash is the Philippines’ #1 Finance App. Through the GCash App, users can easily purchase prepaid airtime; pay bills via partner billers nationwide; send and receive money anywhere in the Philippines, even to other bank accounts; purchase from over 6 million partner merchants and social sellers; and get access to savings, credit, loans, insurance and invest money, and so much more, all at the convenience of their smartphones. GCash’s mobile wallet operations are handled by G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mynt, the first and only duacorn in the Philippines which is a part of the country's leading digital solutions platform, Globe Group. GCash is a staunch supporter of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly UN SDGs 5,8,10, and 13, which focus on safety & security, financial inclusion, diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, respectively.

CDO's Urban Oasis: Embracing Nature at Westwood Storeys

Discovering a Forest-inspired Condominium within the City

I attended a Blogger’s Teepee Day last Saturday afternoon, hosted by Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation (PDO). Initially, I hesitated to join since it was my youngest daughter's scheduled appointment with her developmental doctor earlier that day. Moreover, I had been physically and mentally exhausted for the past few weeks. However, I realized that participating in the activity would be a good idea to relax and give myself a break.

Attending the event turned out to be a wise decision because it provided me with the opportunity to explore and dream of one day owning a unit at Westwood Storeys. It's a forest-resort-inspired condo and Pueblo de Oro's latest venture into the vertical housing market, making it a distinctive condominium project. The condo is expected to be completed on April 28, 2028.

Westwood Storeys, surrounded by trees, presents a lifestyle that artfully blends the serenity of the forest with the conveniences of urban living. It stands as a low density condo, with only having seven floors. The development offers both studio and 2-bedroom units, with introductory prices ranging from P4 million to P8.9 million.

A Perfect Place to Live with my Family

I have envisioned myself and my family residing in this serene haven as it offers sanctuary in the city. It truly is an inviting place to call home, especially when I discovered that it is nestled amidst the 40-hectare Pueblo de Oro urban rainforest, offering breathtaking views of nature that transport one beyond the confines of city life.

This seven-tower condominium is situated in a prime location in Barangay Carmen of Cagayan de Oro City, approximately 3.9 kilometers from Pueblo Business Park. Setting it apart from its competitors, this condo offers fewer units spread across a larger land area. It only offers 989 units in a 5.2-hectare land, with each unit meticulously crafted to provide a haven of comfort, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

Amenities at this condominium include kiddie and adult swimming pools, a playground, a multi-sport court, a clubhouse, Wi-Fi zones, and a guardhouse equipped with CCTV cameras for 24/7 monitoring, ensuring everyone's safety within the vicinity.

A Green Sustainable Development

Westwood Storeys also prioritizes green development, with a rainforest backdrop that allows residents to experience beautiful sunrises every day, complemented by a cool breeze and the earthy scent of nature. Residents will also have the opportunity to partake in outdoor activities, as the development will feature landscaped meditation decks, nature trails winding through lush green foliage, rain gardens, a natural green canopy, and a family picnic area. These amenities allow residents to connect with the symphony of nature.

Everything is Right at Heart of the City

When my fellow bloggers and I went to Westwood Storeys, we were picked up by a van from SM City uptown mall, and it took only a 10-minute ride to reach the area. Commercial hubs and business centers are nestled around the vicinity including schools, churches, malls, hotels and even convenience stores, making everything a family, like mine, would need within reach.

The event I attended was a resounding success, particularly because Pueblo de Oro effectively guided us in visualizing how the place would look in the future. I can easily picture myself and my family living there, or doing camping outside the unit and cherishing the breathtaking scenery that only Westwood Storeys can offer. Who knows, perhaps this dream of mine will become a reality.

If you want to know about Westwood Storey, contact Pueblo de Oro in their Facebook page or visit their website: https://pueblodeoro.com to know more about the details.

Finding Fun & Distraction: A Stay-at-Home Mom's Gaming Adventures

Life is quite challenging lately that I tried to distract myself by either reading a book or watching my favorite TV shows or films that are streaming online. Being a stay at home mom doesn't mean it's easy or convenient, especially in my case since I have a child with spectrum. I am just glad, so far, everything has been manageable. However, there are times when I find myself in uncontrollable situations that I just really have to pause and do deep breathing exercises to calm myself down.

So, it’s just timely that I recently discovered some games online which have helped me a lot. Some games are made just for kids, but there are also some which I feel are made for people like me, aimed not only to take away boredom but to also divert the mind to something analytical and fun.

My youngest daughter and I have played this Watermelon game and it turned out to be very addictive! At first, I thought that the objective was to drop all the fruits until it got full but then I realized that to stay longer in the game, I not only needed to bump identical fruits but also to push down the bigger fruits by using the smaller fruits. If the fruits fill up and reach the top part, it's game over. Also, in the game, when you bump two smaller fruits, it will create a new bigger fruit. Like if I bump 2 strawberries together, it will create new grape fruits. If I bump 2 grape fruits, it will create a brown coconut, I think. Two coconuts will create green apples and two green apples bumping each other will result to an orange fruit. And so on until it gets bigger and then I can finally create a watermelon. Here is a screenshot of the game I played. So far, the highest score I got was only 2533 but I’m already proud of that! lol.

This game may be easy but it is very effective in de-stressing. My daughter enjoyed this game a lot as it gave her focus and the feeling of satisfaction when creating many fruits just by bumping them.

Another game that I played was the Open Bar. I don’t normally go to bars anymore but this game made me curious of what it is the bartender was exactly doing, and so I tried playing the game. As it turned out, the game was more complex than it looked, especially since you’ll be the only one serving the customers. You have to learn how to prepare their preferred drinks and serve the right amount so that the customers won’t end up fuming mad with your service. You also need to clean the area once the customers leave after paying. I must have enjoyed the game so much since I tried so many times to perfect my serving. At first, I got a lot of bad feedback, but eventually I received some good remarks from my virtual customers, lol. Here are some screenshots of the game I played. I’ve edited it and put them side by side so it's easily understood. Some of the customers would order a beer, some cocktails or ladies drinks. Sometimes in the game, four customers would arrive together so that I’d have work fast in serving them then clean up the area before I can receive another customer. So far, the highest tip I received was $2,300 which made me very happy already :)
There was another game that I have tried, the Tap Supermarket, and I found it interesting. It took me awhile to understand how business-minded people works but, in the end, I earned $135,000 from selling, as well as buying other items to provide them to my increasing number of customers. However, it seems that the game never ends so I finally stopped playing since I was satisfied with the progress and my profits were already highs. This kind of game was not made just for entertainment but also taught me about entrepreneurship.
If you haven't tried these games, I  highly recommend them. Just choose the ones you like or you can play some of the games with your kids. It's more fun that way!
