Product Review: Scotch Gard by 3M

We replaced our 3-year-old sofa last October with a new and better one from Mandaue Foam.  Everything in the sofa is washable (even the foam if you must) except for the frame and the fabric that covers it.

Before purchasing the sofa, we were advised that it comes with a 5-year warranty for the foam and frame.  Fabrics are not included.  There is nothing to worry about this because we can have fabrics covering the foams washed or buy custom made if in case it tears or breaks or get stained.  But the fabric in frame got us worried – because of course, we can’t wash it.

And last December, I got home to our sofa armrest looking like this.




I wasn’t angry or sad or worried – neither did Neo got scolded for doing this (just a quick reminder of using his papers alone for coloring).  Because I was relying on the fact that the staff a Mandaue Foam suggested a cleaning aide we can use – Scotch Gard.



Since Scotch Gard is made by 3M, a brand I have been using since I was introduced to it last year, I didn’t check any other brands.  However, Scotch Gard is quite hard to find.  Some stores only have one stock.  And this brand is more expensive than the others. SRP: Php530.

But as I go over quality of product, I didn’t hesitate in buying this.  And it did not disappoint.  After spraying Scotch Gard in the sofa armrest, waited for 3-5mins, dab it with clean wet cloth (did this for two times), look at our sofa armrest.


Good as new J

This product is a definite must have for families with little hands that draw and write all over your fabrics.

Food Panda Special Delivery

I have blogged about FoodPanda Delivery last year.  I was so pleased with their service that I wanted to try them again.  But with some twist.




Food delivery has gone through a lot of innovations already.  What sets Food Panda apart from the rest is that 1) I can order online, 2) receive updates online through emails and phone call, and 3) pay online - though I can also choose to pay upon delivery.  Most food delivery will only allow me to pay upon receipt of food.   

So what’s the twist about this Food Panda Delivery I made?  I ordered online and sent it to the hubby.  All I did was follow the easy procedure of Food Panda.  I entered all necessary details:  the hubby’s name (because the delivery man will be looking for him), his mobile number (because they will contact him in case they get lost), his office address, and my email address – it’s a surprise so, I don’t want him pre-empted that I have food delivered to him.

Food Panda allowed me to pay for my purchased online.  They also sent several emails to me to verify my orders.

The hubby was surprised when the office guard called him that he has a delivery. J  (Sadly he didn't took a photo of the food).  That is something you can do too.  Go visit Food Panda today and send love through food delivery.  Ooops, you can also download the Food Panda app via their website for your convenience.

BayView Park Hotel

This is a long overdue post.   Last year, due to a work project, I needed to stay late in the office during weekends and so I needed a place to stay near the office and was fortunate enough because BayView Hotel Manila was able to accommodate me (and my family).

BayView Hotel Manila is located along Roxas Boulevard in front of the US Embassy.  It has a total of 282 rooms, a pool deck swimming pool, modern gym, children activity center, and fitness center.


We were given a superior room.  Superior rooms may vary so you can ask to have a queen size bed or twin bed, a view of Manila Bay, or request for a room with a bath tub.  We weren’t able to try the swimming pool (because I was too busy with work), so the bath tub was essential for Neo to swim around.


Each room has a mini ref.  Complimentary coffee, tea, and bottled water are available.



The beds are so comfortable that Neo fell in love with it.  The floors are carpeted (not common in hotels).  And bathroom essentials are complete.  Complimentary local newspaper daily.
