Hey Mom: An Online Resource for Moms and Moms-to-Be

Posted on September 13, 2017

If there’s any item in our house that we should never run out of, that would be my son’s medicines, foremost of which is his immune booster vitamin Ceelin. Like all moms, I hate seeing my son sick. I want to see him active, full of life and able to do the things he enjoys doing, like going to school, playing, goofing around, and just being his usual animated and energetic self. And because I don’t go out every day, I make sure I buy his vitamins in bulk. That’s to ensure that he won’t miss his daily dose of Vitamin C. I find extreme comfort from the fact that he is protected from diseases because we always have Ceelin at home for him. If you’re wondering why I’m talking about shopping for my son’s vitamins here, well, here’s the story.

Hey Mom
Early in August, I was asked to try online shopping at Hey Mom. Hey Mom is an online resource for moms and moms-to-be. It’s a place where expecting, new and experienced moms meet and learn from each other’s experiences. Blog posts of fellow moms found on this website serve to inspire and help others cope with the challenging sides of motherhood. There’s also a forum to ask questions, exchange thoughts and share the joys and difficulties of being a mom. Hey Mom is an online shop as well, offering medicines/vitamins, nutrition, sports and personal care products for kids and adults alike. Hey Mom caters to the needs of the elderly, too!

Time to Shop
I was given a specific amount of shopping credits inclusive of shipping fee using a voucher code. I went to heymom.com.ph, registered and went about my shopping. Since my son’s vitamin C brand is included in the selection of medicines/vitamins that I’m supposed to choose from, that’s where all my shopping credits went. I bought Ceelin Chewables and Ceelin Plus Chewables.


My Online Shopping Experience
Shopping at Hey Mom is as easy as 1-2-3! It took a while, though, to have my order delivered because apparently, I made a mistake in my choice of payment mode. There are three payment options available to Hey Mom shoppers, by the way, (cash on delivery, bank payment and credit card), so this should be the least of your worries.

My Mistake
I always use cash on delivery whenever I do online shopping. I should have done the same for my Hey Mom transaction instead of clicking bank deposit. Why? They cannot process my order because they’re still waiting for confirmation of my payment. To be honest, I actually didn’t pay much attention to this detail. I thought the order confirmation details that I received in my email were already proof that I didn’t need to pay anything for my purchases because of my complimentary voucher. My bad! I should have clarified this from the start. Lol! Moral of the story: When in doubt, ask! Anyway, when this issue was finally resolved, I received a call and a text message from Clickhealth that my order was already on its way.


My package arrived the following day, sealed and protected with STOROpack’s AIRPlus® air cushions. It’s good to know that my online purchases are well taken care of!


My Ceelin order from Hey Mom will last until next year and with that comes the assurance that my son will have protection from diseases at home or in school. Isn’t it amazing what online shopping at Hey Mom can do? No traffic and no long queues at the cashier means I have saved time, energy and money. This means I have more time to spend managing the home, finishing my writing tasks and performing mommy and wifey duties.


Overall Assessment
At Hey Mom, I don’t only get to shop for my son’s vitamins and medicines online, but I also get to meet other well-meaning moms, share my motherhood woes and triumphs, and receive helpful parenting tips as well. The joys of being a mom are doubled and the challenges seem less daunting because “motherhood is sisterhood” at Hey Mom. Go check out their website (http://heymom.com.ph) and find out for yourself.

“Lifetime Free Gas, Oh My Gas!” Promo from SEAOIL

Posted on August 29, 2017

Do you want a lifetime supply of free fuel? I know many will ask, “Is that even possible?” Well, the answer is yes! It’s totally possible if you will join SEAOIL’s “Lifetime Free Gas, Oh My Gas!” promo.


SEAOIL, the country’s largest independent fuel player, has recently launched the first raffle promo of its kind in the Philippines that will be giving four lucky motorists their lifetime supply of SEAOIL fuel.

According to SEAOIL CEO Glenn Yu, “We have always stood by the quality and performance of SEAOIL fuels and this is our way of thanking our loyal customers, whom we call SEAOIL Believers, for the trust they have placed in us.”

The promo will run from August 14 to November 14, 2017. There will be three monthly raffle draws on September 15, October 16, and November 28 to announce the winners who will get P5,000 worth of SEAOIL gift certificates per month during their actual lifespan.

Aside from the four major prizes of lifetime SEAOIL fuel, there will also be a total of 30 winners who will receive P10,000 worth of SEAOIL gift cards, as well as over 30,000 instant prizes of P10, P20, P100, and P500 discounts on SEAOIL fuel and P100 on SEAOIL lubricant through “peel-off” cards.

To get a raffle entry, a customer must submit receipts totaling P500 worth of Extreme 97, Extreme 95, Extreme U, Extreme Diesel fuels and/or SEAOIL Lubricant to any SEAOIL station nationwide. Each raffle entry includes an instant prize card.

“Lifetime Free Gas, Oh My Gas!” promo follows through on the company’s recent product quality campaign which highlights SEAOIL fuel’s top three qualities. Firstly, SEAOIL’s base fuel is imported from advanced refineries in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, ensuring world-class quality. Secondly, SEAOIL fuel id monitored and tested at least three times daily at the retail stations for consistency. Thirdly, SEAOIL fuel is the only one in the Philippines that is powered with STP additives, known for superior engine clean-up and keep-clean properties resulting in improved performance.

“This is definitely an exciting time for us as we gear and pump up all of our 400 stations for this,” added Yu. “SEAOIL Believers all over the country will have a chance to be part of this nationwide celebration.”

Early this year, the company launched its biggest gasoline station to date, the two-hectare SEAOIL-CityMall SCTEX mega station located near the Concepcion Exit in Tarlac. Midway between Baguio and Manila, this P600-million collaboration between SEAOIL and CityMall Commercial Centers Inc. is the perfect stopover for travelers from northern Luzon provinces.

Over the years, SEAOIL has pioneered innovative products like bioethanol gasoline and biodiesel, as well as services and programs including its award-winning franchise package, as part of its commitment to excellence and service to the Filipino people.

Grade School Student Council Officer Standees

Posted on August 29, 2017

Last April, the Grade School Student Council (SC) officers had a photo shoot in school for an SC project for the current school year, 2017-2018. It turned out that the SC officers would have their own standees on the school campus.


On August 8, I was in school early to fetch my son when I spotted his and his classmate friend’s standee near the SC office. Being in the right place at the right time allowed me to take a snap of what would be one of my son’s exciting grade school memories.

Class Spirit of the Year Award, Grade 5-A, SY 2016-2017

Posted on August 16, 2017

Finally, my son’s class last year, Grade 5-A, received the much-coveted Class Spirit of the Year Award (CSYA)!

Photo credit: Ay-Ay Salgado-Tanalgo

According to the LSGH Pupils’ Handbook, the CSYA is “a special citation given to the section that has demonstrated its outstanding support to the major activities of the Grade School Student Council. This includes the newspaper (R34T) drive, Christmas Drive (Pamaskong Pambalot), Cleanliness Drive, Class Conduct, Intramurals, Interclass Contest, LRC Book Borrowers, and Penmanship contests. This award highlights and affirms the solidarity and unity of the whole section, a value espoused by Lasallian schools all over the country.”

The victorious boys of Grade 5-A with their homeroom adviser, Ms. Dash

The CSYA was given to the whole class during the LSGH Undergraduates’ Recognition Day last July. Their class has been vying for this award since Grade 4 but they only came in a close second that year. Last year, though, the parents and students of Grade 5-A, exerted all efforts to finally clinch the award. And they did it, under the loving guidance of their homeroom adviser, Ms. Ma. Dachelle C. Acierto a.k.a. Ms. Dash.


The class was given a gold plaque that lists the names of all the members of the class, as well as that of their homeroom adviser. The plaque would be permanently hung on LSGH walls.
