This was the 2nd MBP event that Nate and I attended, last year, we were also able to join the party in Skyranch, Tagaytay. However, even though this was the 2nd MBP we’ve attended, I still had so many missed opportunities during this event. Here are the 3 things that I didn’t like about the Mommy Bloggers Philippines Mad Hatter Party 2016.

Nate in his pumpkin costume. Cropped: Melisa running after ZD! lol! |
At the venue, I saw lots of cute kids wearing really wonderful and cool costumes (well, I’m not saying Nate wasn’t cute on his pumpkin costume, lol) and have really awesome hats! (Nahiya akong ilabas ang hat na gawa ko, lol!). Other moms were really prepared, like they had everything planned and perfectly arranged for their kids. A virtual pat in the back for you, awesome moms!
2. I didn’t like that it had to end so soon
In the bible times, a couple’s wedding could last up to a week! I wish that is possible for events like this! But, “hello, dear me! Wake up! This is 2016 A.D. people are so busy and events like this can be super expensive! Are you out of your mind?” No, I’m not, lol. I can’t commit to a week of event either.
This one lasted for about 4 hours, and although I really hope it can last for a day, we’re all busy moms trying to manage our busy schedules. So even though I wished that the event was longer, I’m still happy that I got to meet other mommy bloggers (new and familiar faces) again. It’s still a lot different when it’s offline, isn’t it?

So dear moms, thank you! And I’m happy to see you all!
Thanks to Mommy Lani for giving us a time to give our candies/goodies to the kids, we got to also have a little chitchat with other mommy bloggers that we know. Blogosphere is an awesome place of people supporting each other, and I’m joyful (and honored) to be part of the MBP community!
3. I didn’t like I was not strong enough
You know what, after the event, I really wished I had the strength of Samson! I’m thankful though that I tagged my sister along, if not, I’d be doomed! Seriously dear sponsors, you are spoiling us! Lol! I knew Mommy Louisa told us to prepare a bag for the loots, and she even said, “the bigger, the better”, but I’ll be honest this is the event with most loots that I got so far!
So big thanks to our lovely sponsors for their generosity! You really know how to make us moms happy! 😀 I’m happy that even though I was so drained when we got home, I got to commute with all the stuffs that were given to us.
Sugarfree
Thank you once again to all our wonderful sponsors and to the MBP admins: Lani, Louisa and Joy. I know you guys spent so much effort for this event and that you shed your “dugo’t pawis” for this to be successful, hehe. Not only that, you also sacrificed your sleep for this. And for that, I genuinely adore you! 🙂 You are truly empowered women empowering other women! Cheers!
PS: Others call this kind of post reverse psychology. Others call it click bait! I call it trying to think outside the box. 😀

Nice to see you sis, hindi tayo masyado nkapagusap kulit ng anak ko, see you s mbp Christmas party 🙂
At least your son was in costume! Mine wasn't. LOL! The hat was a last minute thing too so you're not alone there.. Hope to meet you next event. Hirap magmingle around na may hinahabol na bata e hahaha
Nice title. Catchy talaga siya and nakaka inspire ang content. Hope to meet you next event.
catchy title. thoughtful content. till the next halloween 🙂
I agree with you, there's nothing more frustrating that being unprepared for the party. I'm like last-minute person which is not good. This is such a great post, well thought, and love all your photos.

Sobra, sis! Let's meet again at the Christmas party kasi dun wlang mga bata. haha.
Thank you sis! Yes, see you! :*
Thank you Momi! Muah! See you on Sat! :*
Thank you sis! I am a last minute person too. huhuhaha.
Your pumpkin is so adorable! Go lang Mommy! The party looked so fun! Sana more MBP events in the future 🙂
Forget about the costume, the most important thing is you're there and Nate enjoyed the party. Need pa yata ng push cart yang naiuwi niyo. BTW! Nice meeting you last Saturday.
hope we can attend next year's event. looks like so much fun.
Na-curious ako sa title ☺
See you sa MBP Christmas Party Mommy Nilyn.
Hoping here to attend get together like this..it looks fun
I have attended a lot of MBP parties and #3 is something I keep in mind talaga. I always make sure I have a big eco bag with me! hahaha 😀
This is the event that I felt bad for missing it! Huhu! I wasn't able to pay for a slot on time. Pero iniisip ko okay na rin kasi on the event day itself, the husband got very sick. He can barely get up from the bed and mataas ang fever. Hanggang tingin na lang ako sa IG at sa feed ko kung gaabo nag-enjoy ang mommy bloggers and the kids. Hopefully, next event makasama na ako. Lalo na papatapos na ang 1st trimester. Hihi. Ang dami nyong take home freebies! Sobrang generous ng sponsors. I love it! 😀
I still wish I could attend at least one MBP event anytime in the future. 🙂 It looks fun!
I am sad I had to miss this event. My son was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was my dad's birthday weekend and we already had something planned out.
Thank you sis! Yes, look forward for more! 🙂
Haha! Korek ka jan sis! Sobrang hirap mag commute, daming bitbit! Pero keri parin! lol.
I hope too, sis Roby.
Haha! See you, sis! ♥
Sure is! I hope to see you in the future events. 🙂
Hahaha! I should keep that in mind too, sis! lol!
Sorry to hear that sis. Everything happens for a reason talaga, no? I hope you can attend the christmas party, sis. 🙂
I hope to see you in the future events of MBP. Who knows, sis. 🙂
Awts. 🙁 Sayang. Next time, sis. But see you sa MBP Christmas party. 🙂
