Krispy Kreme Soon To Open In CDO

Krispy Kreme CDO is finally going to open, probably in November this year. Their location will be at Lim Ket Kai Center, one of the popular malls in Cagayan de Oro City.

Last September 20, 2013, I was one of the CDO Bloggers invited to attend the pre-briefing lunch meeting at Bigby's Restaurant, LKKS. We were warmly welcomed by Mark E. Gamboa, Krispy Kreme's Marketing Manager and Nadia Lee Cien D. Shami, Assistant Marketing Manager and Local Relationship Marketing for VisMin. The meeting was full of excitement. A lot of questions were raised by the attendees and all of them were aptly answered.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. was founded on July 13, 1937 by Vernon Rudolf. Until now, the company keeps getting bigger and stronger and opening new stores internationally. On November 2006, Krispy Kreme opened their flagship store in the Philippines. More stores opened nationwide and as of this writing, Krispy Kreme CDO will be the 44th store in the Philippines and the 5th drive-thru store in Asia, another reason for us Cagay-anons to be proud of.

What I learned from the company is that they are actually supporting 12 different charities and schools in the country. So imagine this store with a cause. You're not just eating their doughnuts but you are helping others as well.

In all honesty, I'm an avid fan of Krispy Kreme and so is my hubby and our kids. KK Glazed is my number 1 favorite, I can consume 3 doughnuts in one sitting! Everytime my husband comes back home from Manila, he makes sure to bring Krispy Kreme products because we always expect it at home. So imagine how excited I was to know that KK will soon open in our own city.

With fellow CDO Bloggers. I'm on the rightmost wearing black with shades on the head:-)

And for everyone who's reading this, let me tell you an open secret that's going to take place on the opening day: The 1st one to fall in line will get a one year supply of Krispy Kreme (yeah, 1 year -- you heard me right!), the 2nd in line will get 6 months supply, and the 3rd will get a month's supply. And it's all for free! (Sssh!.. Don't share to others *wink*wink*)

If you want to know more about Krispy Kreme products, please do visit their site at http://krispykreme.com.ph/. They're very affordable and so yummylicious! And when their outlet finally opens here in CDO, you can bet I'll be going there often waiting for the taste of fresh doughnut when the hotlight is on.

We were each given a dozen of these Yummy Doughnuts. Thank You Krispy Kreme!

Good and Bad Things

I'm having a sore throat since yesterday. Weather is bad lately and I was sleeping late at night for a couple of days. I was trying to fix a problem with my blog that I did not do the task right away given to me by one of the sponsors. Besides, the task was due on September 11.

My blog was finally fixed last night and I tried sleeping early. And today, I'm ready to finish what I need to do, unfortunately, the task assigned to me was gone no matter how I tried to refresh it. This happened to me 2x already. I guess next time I should do it right away no matter how sick I am. Sad.. :-(

I guess I'll just have to think on the good side that I won't sleep late anymore. However, thinking of my sore throat and the task taken away from me are still bad news. The earnings would have helped me with so many things at home...

Vintage Guitar Strap

Playing the guitar is quite awkward when not using any straps. You can't play any better if you don't have it unless of course you are just sitting down. Just in case you are looking for one, there is a fender vintage guitar strap I found online that is currently on sale. It looks very comfortable to use and has leather ends. You can order online and avail their 5% special promo rate! So, hurry up and enjoy great savings!

Zoe's Invitation Card

My 2nd baby daughter Zoe turned 3 last month and it's only now that I am going to post what her invitation card looked like.. Okay, it was me who made that and had it developed in a photo shop. Zoe wore her Cinderella dress bought by her maternal grandmother :-) It was her theme for this year's birthday.

I usually do the invitation in all of my children's birthday. For Zoe's invitation card, I took a picture of her and thank heavens (!!!) I was able to capture her beautiful smile. She strike a pose like Cinderella, too (just look at her hands)! Really, Mommy knows best *wink* *wink*

Simple Birthday Dinner

On Chloe's actual birthday, we went to Thai Me Up at Centrio Mall to have a very simple family dinner. She was taken by surprise when the staff came near her and sang a Happy Birthday song. Big sunglasses and a frame were provided to her to have her picture taken. See that picture above? Yeah, she likes to strike silly poses. Her little sissy was beside her.

Since their free cake was unavailable that day, Chloe was given a free fruit salad as their compliment to the birthday girl :D

Online Printing

One of the things you need to do to promote your company is by giving your customers or potential clients your business card. Aside from promoting it, you will be easily contacted by them should they make any queries or thought of purchasing items from your company. But make sure you give them a good impression on yourself. That is why it is also necessary that you go to business card printers with reliable background because they can somehow help you make a difference. Check them out online and have your business card printed now!

Chloe's Birthday Gift

 

Xavier Estates & Country Club

This is our gift for our eldest daughter Chloe on her 10th birthday, spending a night in one of the cottages at Xavier Estates. Her younger sister celebrated her 3rd birthday a week earlier and we throw a party for her. But Chloe said she doesn't want any party on her birthday but to spend an overnight weekend at a hotel.

So, she was very ecstatic when her dad and I told her we're going to spend it at Xavier Estates. She thanked us and told us how happy she was that day. We were also glad she liked it even though the place was not our first choice. We wanted something new because we had been here before. But the ambiance and the peacefulness of the place are just too hard to resist. And the staff there were nice, polite and attentive so what's to complain?

Ceramic Tubes

If you are looking for alumina ceramic tubes, it's easy to find them online. But make sure you browsed it from a reliable source. There's a site who is a distributor of industrial and technical ceramics and they offer different kinds of products that you might be looking for. Just look at the categories and perhaps you can find what you are looking for. So check them out and order now!

TGIF For Me!

Thanking that today is a Friday! It means to say I don't need to get up early morning during weekends. I may be a stay at home mom but yes, I still look forward to holidays and no classes :) Because during week days, I need to wake up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for my eldest child who is now a 4th grader and also my husband before he goes to work. I also cook their lunch because they don't go home during lunch time. My mornings are always busy from cooking breakfast and lunch, boiling hot water for them, preparing their clothes, cleaning the house. I can only rest once they left. But then when my youngest daughter wakes up by 9 or 9:30 am, I need to feed her, bathe her & since I enrolled her to school, need to prepare her things especially her snacks! She's still a toddler so her going to school is more on playing and socializing but still I am a busy super mom. Then I drive her to & from home to school. Often, I picked up my husband from the office before going home so that he has a ride in going home in the evening.

Anyways... all I want to say today is, THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
