I want to confess something I am semi-addicted to that I am afraid I am starting to pass on to my children: my love for cold, heaping Milo with lots of buo-buo (translation: already-insoluble granules).

Ever since I was a kid, I have been introduced to Milo and I could say I have mastered the art of enjoying this drink. And no, I don’t just drink it for the purpose of having some chocolate milk to drink— I savor it. I enjoy its every taste. I drink it and take it in… and then I scoop out every drop left on my cup.

Okay, hold on. I better stop. I’m starting to crave again.

Breathe in, breathe out….

Why did I start writing about Milo again?

Oh yes. The Expo.

Imagine my glee when I went to attend Nestle’s I Choose Wellness Expo at SM Megamall yesterday. The first booth I saw was Milo! Of course, I just had to line up and get my free “taste” (heehee as if I don’t know how it tastes like yet!). I was also excited to find out that they now offer Milo for adults. Again, I had to go get my free taste. “For assessment purposes“, I told myself. I wanted to see if it tasted any different from the “normal” Milo we grew up with. Overall, the taste is the same, except it was a little less sweet, which is a good thing, I guess.

Yay!

My kids are still scared of mascots, so ako nalang!

At the risk of sounding sentimental, I really got nostalgic when I visited the many different booths and activity areas yesterday. I realized that almost all the brands I grew up with are from Nestle. It is also quite a delight to learn that they are now advocating wellness for the family. I listened to some of the talks given yesterday and brought home three short points that I think we can all learn from, not just in the area of wellness.

1. Wellness is a choice.

…. So are all other things in life.

2. We need the support of those around us to be able to sustain our choice.

…. Thus, the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who will build us up and can speak into our lives.

3. We need to enjoy our journey to wellness.

…. As it is with our lives, we need to enjoy every season life brings us….and learn in the process.

Since we are in the topic of enjoying already, I’d like to share with how I choose to enjoy my Milo.

NOTE: This really has nothing to do with being healthy, but I promise you— IT’S REALLY GOOD!!!! Hehe! Enjoy!
