Kris Aquino's Advice to Moms


I am not a fan of hers. Some people said I'm like her when this blog was called Bebengisms. Not sure if it was because I was featuring too many products here. Or was it because I was too full of myself then? I don't know about you but despite the many intrigues and controversies she has put herself into, she's an amazing media personality. Well, on TV. Hindi ko siya keri on the big screen eh. She's a good host kahit minsan hindi na niya pinagsaalita ang mga ini-interview niya but acting isn't for her, imho.

So, netizens were abuzz when photos of her in the GMA Network studio circulated around in the interwebs. Ayun nga, she guested on Yan Ang Morning, Marian Rivera's morning show on GMA 7 last week, July 1. Kibitzers said it was to make the rival network's show feel bad about themselves as it looked like they replaced Kris. It was just sabi-sabi. Kris said that she promised her "inaanak sa kasal", Marian that she would guest on her show once she's back from her vacation. 

And she kept her promise. 


She gifted Marian a necklace for momsShe cooked Binagoongang Baboy and brought her kitchen stuff along with her. I understand where she is coming from. Mas nakaka-happy kasing magluto when you're using your own things. She also gave her opinions (as she is famous for giving those even when not asked, hehe) on current events and what-nots. She also shared with Yan Ang Morning viewers their experience on their 7-week vacay abroad. I like that she taught her boys, Josh and Bimby, to do house chores. Kung sila na billionaire eh marunong gumawa ng gawaing-bahay, tayo pa ba na no guts, no glory ang peg? Kaya check sa akin yun! My favorite segment was when she arranged flowers with Marian. I thought it was candid and so fun to watch. I like that she admits that she sucks at flower arrangement. But what I like most was her advice for moms. Simple lang: MAG-IPON. 

And there I was, looking at my life and realized that I haven't saved for Sophia's future and my retirement yet. Well, I have 28 years more to save before I can call myself a senior citizen, who's guaranteed for 20% (correct me if I'm wrong) discount at McDonald's, hihi. I have plans to prosper (who doesn't anyway?) and continue my dream to take up MA, soon. But for now, I am a happy wife and mom with freelance online jobs and home-based food business. So grateful, too that God gave me a partner whom I can share my goals and dreams with. 

P.S.
I like Yan Ang Morning. In fairness, magaling si Marian, especially if compared to Magandang Buhay. Tbh and imho, it's such a pain to watch Karla Estrada and her RBF eh. I like Melai Cantiveros, though. She's funny and real!

P.P.S.
Marian's brooch as her signature style is genius.

  1. I must admit, thought Kris can be a tad annoying, she does make good points at times. Just like you, yes, mag-ipon is also my priority now. I just hope I can come up with a business idea that will prosper so I can secure my son's future!

  2. Mag-ipon. Yes! I realized, though, that all my savings are for the kids. Ang para sa akin pala ay wala. Hahaha! Sisimulan ko na yan!

  3. Sobrang importante mag-ipon nowadays lalo na mahal na lahat ng gamit! Hay :( I'm also not a fan of Kris but I do find her smart and at times witty. I don't watch these shows, but it's nice to know the comparison and which I should watch once I have time. Thanks for sharing! :)

  5. I haven't watched any episode of Yan Ang Morning. Sounds like an interesting show though. Kris Aquino can really be annoying but we have to admit that she also makes sense too sometimes. Kelangan ko din mag-ipon actually. Not too late pa naman but I have to start soon coz I'm not getting any younger.

  6. Not a fan of Kris too, but there are episodes and points in Kris TV that I think made sense. Kris in channel 7? Moving?

  7. I like watching Kris' morning show before kasi nga as you've mentioned, she gives good advice from time to time. Teaching kids to do household chores is a check for me too.

  8. Though Kris can really be annoying and feeling elite at times, she has such a great media appeal. Ipon, ipon. Tama!

  9. Haha, I don'tl like Kris either pero tama ka kasi sa datin nyang morning show kahit ayoko siya pinapanood ko pa din. haha unlike yung pinalit ngayon. I also enjoy Yan ang Morning, ang casual and candid so parang ang gaan gaan panoorin.

    Sa pagipon naman naku super hirap haha. Pero right now pinagsasabay namin pagipunan ang retirement at kay Enzo. Mahirap pero iniisip ko nalang yung future haha!:)

  10. Well I couldn't care less about Kris, but I love Marian! Di lang ako makapanood kasi nasa Nick Jr ang TV ko pag mornings lol. But yes, sometimes I panic because I need to save money. My son has a savings account pero ang konti palang ng laman!
