Of Going Nuts and Blogging Hiatus

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:30:00 +0000

For the past months, I have been on a blogging hiatus. Last time I posted something on my blog was back in May, when all things were breezy and sunny!

Then August came and changed the course of things. I was not expecting something that would radically alter my senses.

Why I Went on Blogging Hiatus

Two days before Ironman Philippines started last August, my beloved grandfather died. As if that incident was not heart-breaking enough, my online employer decided to stop his online website business so I got out of work at the same day.

Surprisingly, I just went on like nothing happened. Saturday came along and I went to Lapu-Lapu City to cover the Ironman triathlon.

I wasn't able to get a decent sleep the night before the race started. During the entire day, I was exposed to the harsh elements of the sea wind, scorching heat of the sun, and thirst.

At the end of the day, I ended up very tired. When me and my friends were on our way home, I rode a taxi from a famous local mall.

I asked the taxi driver if he had change for a thousand peso bill and answered that he had none so instead of dropping me to my house, I told him to send me off a a milk tea shop near our house.

I left my paper bag but brought my sling bag with me when I went inside the milk tea shop to buy milk tea and get smaller bills for my one thousand pesos. After the staff of the shop gave me the change, I went back to the taxi cab and gave the driver my taxi fare.

After I handed him the money, I went to the bag to grab the paper bag that I intentionally left. I went back inside the milk tea shop to wait for my order then I suddenly realized that I left my other bag inside the taxi, the one with my boyfriend's camera and my video camera.

I hurriedly went out the shop and tried to catch my taxi which was about a few meters away. I ran as fast as I could but I gave up when the taxi was too far away. In my estimate, I ran a little less than 50 meters.

Going Nuts = Blogging Hiatus

As far as I can remember, that was the time when all things caved in. The depression I was suppressing and the all the fatigue I felt made me tremble inside out. Saying that I was confused, sad, worried, and desperate is an understatement.

To make the very long story short, I wasn't able to retrieve my valuables despite countless effort from my family and friends. I ended up very depressed so I went on vacation in Bohol.

Every cell in my body did not have the energy to write articles and blogs. This is the only income-generating activity I know. I went penniless and felt very sorry for myself.

Every time I get very depressed, I prefer to go to the island covered in chocolate. There's just something in that place that helps me heal.

In less than one month, I got back on my feet.

I got new income-earning jobs that gives me a new lease on life! I'm back on track and I am ready to conquer the world!

To the taxi driver who did not return my valuables, "God bless you!"

Thanks to you I went on blogging hiatus!

Savor Filipino Cuisine at The Dining Room

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:02:00 +0000

If you are on the hunt for a reasonably-priced dinner buffet with a reasonably-thought menu, I guess your quest is over because The Dining Room is already here, and their highlight is the Fiesta Sa Sugbo!

Fiesta Sa Sugbo is Castle Peak Hotel's buffet which features the beloved dishes of Cebu, which includes the sumptuous Boneless Lechon. The great thing about thus feast is its affordability, because it's only Php 349! It's also available during lunch.

Filipino food is the highlight of the buffet and everybody knows that the star of every Filipino feast is the lechon! Fiesta Sa Sugbo has lechon on the menu alright, but they offer it in two varities; spicy and non-spicy lechon belly.

Spicy and non-spicy lechon belly

I personally like the taste of the spicy lechon belly. It is has the kind of spiciness that is bearable to the Filipinos palate.

The infrequently offered Caldereta, or stewed goat, is actually part of the main menu. You don't have to wait for special occasions anymore to munch on Caldereta! What a great relief!

Hilaw na mangga, anyone? (Green mangoes)

Kuchinta

They also have Mung Bean Soup (or ginisang monggo) and Bam-i (another Filipino pansit version) that is as tasty as that compared to our favorite carenderia, or even better! As for dessert, they have puto, kuchinta, mangoes, ice cream, as well as the all-time-favorite halo-halo! These are all definitely well-loved food by Cebuanos or Filipinos in general.

With slightly dimmed lights, spacious area and tables, and quality Pinoy cuisine, one could never go wrong going to The Dining Room of Castle Peak Hotel and savoring the goodness of Fiesta Sa Sugbo!

Young Minds Academy by RAFI Introduces their Season 7 Youth Leaders

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:19:00 +0000

New batch of young bloods were initiated to the Young Minds Academy of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. - Eduardo Aboitiz Development Studies Center (RAFI-EADSC) last April 2 at the Eduardo Aboitiz Hall. The new batch belongs to Season 7 and their theme for this year will be "Urban Development" of metropolitan Cebu.

The hall was filled with much enthusiasm and excitement. One can feel the youthfulness of the hall because the emerging leaders are from the ages 10 to 20. One can also perceive the dominant feeling they emit, a combination of excitement and apprehension. Nonetheless, it was good to see youth all packed up in one room.

Young Minds Academy is the brainchild of RAFI. The reason of its conception is to prepare and nurture the leaders of tomorrow to guide the community for implementing changes that will benefit the greater good. Learning from YMA is not limited to the four corners of the classroom because the modules that they have formulated imply a holistic approach. As much as theoretical knowledge is best learned inside a classroom, one cannot possibly comprehend how it is to live like our poor brothers and sisters on the streets unless one would experience their lifestyle first at hand. An experiential approach is indeed an eye-opener in learning through semi-structured environment. The scholars will be shown how to show their best character and leadership traits, learn from visits, exchange ideas with other youth, and initiate forums. The crème de la crème at the closing of the academy will received the Jon Ramon Aboitiz Medal for Personal Excellence and Roberto E. Aboitiz Medal for Team Excellence.

A Covenant Signing was made on April 2, 2013 at 2 PM and it signaled the beginning of a new life for the scholars of YMA. 94 vibrant youth made it to the top and all of them will experience the modules formulated by RAFI. Teamwork will the key to their success as they would have to work hand in hand with their teammates, LGUs, and their beneficiaries.

The scholars of Season 6 managed to come up with various solutions to existing problems regarding safety and security, violence of youth, transport and traffic management, flood, and reduction of risks during disaster. With the help of social media, they were able to obtain support from 2,000 people who believe in their ideas. Dream block exhibits were also made to help their beneficiaries.

With the new breed of youth leaders, RAFI is very optimistic with the change that they will show the community. The Young Minds Academy's primary aim is to mold the young lads with wonderful ideas for community change, a change for the greater good of everybody.

For more information about YMA or RAFI, you can contact Mel Yan (418-7234 local 110), visit the official website of RAFI or the official Facebook page of RAFI. More photos from the Covenant Signing can be found here.

ASUS Features Their Latest Innovations

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:14:00 +0000

ASUS is always "In Search Of Incredible" because according to them, customer happiness, not just satisfaction, is also essential. The Dealer and Media Conference held last March 7, 2013 at Movenpick Resort did not fail to amaze and amuse me. Even though I am not a gadget freak, I always love looking at the latest innovations of the laptop PC.

ASUS indeed lives by their maxim Inspiring Innovation and Persistent Perfection. During the media conference, they featured Customer Happiness 2.0 which focuses on the 5 essential features; beauty, sound, ubiquity, touch, and responsiveness.

I, for one, love to experience happiness whenever I buy a gadget and knowing that ASUS is always on focus in rendering Customer Happiness 2.0 to their patrons, I expect them to deliver it flawlessly.

First we have the ASUS Zenbook Prime. This notebook offers superior mobility we always look for. A metallic finish renders the Zenbook a classic beauty. The best feature for me is the 3mm front and 9mm back proportions. Carrying a notebook hasn't been this easy now! The responsiveness is incredible because it will only take 2 seconds to resume its normal operations from sleep mode. USB 3.0 is also an awesome feature while incredible audio is made possible with SonicMaster.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

The ASUS Vivobook puts the world at your fingertips with its textured metal surface, very light and slim body, SonicMaster audio technology, and wider touchpad. I love the features. It's very appliacble to my work and lifestyle. I even bought one after more than 1 week of seeing it first in the dealer and media conference. I love it! A great review of the ASUS Vivobook can be seen here.

The ASUS Vivotab combines the beauty of a Zenbook plus the mobility of a tablet. This Windows 8 powered transformer has an 11.6" Corning® Fit Glass screen, SonicMaster speakers, extra long battery life, classic metallic finish, 8-megapixel back camera and 2-megapixel front camera. This transformer indeed is a new experience for entertainment and mobility.

The Vivotab Dock adds more battery life to the tablet.

www.TechBuzz.ph tries to detach the tablet from the dock. It was just a snap!

www.TechBuzz.ph and www.AppsGadget.com attaches the tablet back to the dock. Easy as 1-2-3!

www.JayseeBlabs.blogspot.com looks on as Sir Eason De Guzman, System Technical PR of ASUS, shows us the Vivotab

www.TechBuzz.ph and www.JayseeBlabs.blogspot.com tries the Vivotab using the stylus.

One laptop with dual screens; that is the ASUS Taichi. Equipped with SonicMaster audio, high definition screens, intuitive touch reception, and outstanding overall performance; you can never go wrong with something that allows you to do 2 things with just one equipment.

The last gadget I will feature here is the ASUS Transformer AiO. Among all the gadgets featured on that day, this was our favorite. We daydreamed of all the possible things we could do with this All-In-One PC. The ideas we generated were countless and most of them amused us.

www.wiredmash.com is having fun with the ASUS Transformer AiO.

16 Visayan Beauties Aspire for the Chance to Win Miss Philippines Earth 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:39:00 +0000

Last March 9, the SM Activity Center was filled with beauty queens, as 16 of them vied for the most coveted spot for the Visayas regional screening of Miss Philippines Earth 2013.

The beautiful host was none other than Miss Earth 2008 Karla Henry.

It was very timely because the summer season is on, and the 16 ladies surely made the stage sizzling. The hunt for the most well-rounded beauty has indeed already begun. The committee is on the search for the perfect woman with the astonishing combination of allurement, skills, environmental campaign, grace, and drawing power. The winner will end up with the fame and fortune all the beauty queen aspirants have always longed for.

Miss Philippines Earth is unlike most beauty pageants because aside from physical beauty, love and concern for mother nature are also a big considerations in choosing the rightful candidate who will rightfully win the crown. The victor will end up as the ambassador for Miss Earth Foundation, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), other assemblies and ultimately, as a representative for the Miss Earth international championship.

The first leg of the pageant was hosted by SM. While the contestants wowed the audience with their catwalk and cocktail dresses, they also carried with them an SM Greenbag in support for SM Food Group's M.O.B. or MyOwnBag which aims to advocate reusing of bags during shopping or doing of groceries.

A total of 16 contestants performed with the hopes of garnering the highest scores, ranging from singing to dancing. After the performances, the most-awaited portion of every beauty pageant commenced. Questions about environmental issues were asked and the candidates handled them with the best that they could at that time.

The regional winners who will make it to the big day on May 19, 2013 will be informed individually. By that moment, they'd have to do more than the best that they managed during the regional screening. I wish them all the best. Beauty and brains is not enough nowadays. The crown bearer must have the guts to pursue environment nurturing.

AllMyTea is Goodness in a Bottle

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 04:21:00 +0000

AllMyTea is a mix of everything that's good for you and your health. It is a medley of real brewed tea, real calamansi juice, orange squeeze, sugar, water and vanilla extract. What do you get after mixing all these stuff? A much healthier tea concoction is what you will get as compared to the tea and health drinks being offered in the market today, most of which have very commercialized taste. Too commercialized that it doesn't even taste healthy at all. All I can taste is too much sugar!

I am a vegetarian junkie. I am not 100% raw vegan though. I love all things vegan and healthy, so when AllMyTea was launched, I was so glad to hear about it.

Since AllMyTea is made up of real brewed tea, we get the same health benefits just as drinking tea all by itself. Tea actually lowers blood pressure, bad cholesterol, and risk of hypertension. It also bars certain cancers, improves our body's immune system, and stall Alzheimer's disease. It may help those with AIDS because it also boosts the immune system.

How is AllMyTea available to the market? It's actually available in concentrate (500 mL and 2 L) and Ready-to-Drink (500 mL and 350 mL).

Concentrate (500 mL and 2 L)

Ready-to-Drink (500 mL and 350 mL)

Storing your AllMyTea bottles is just a snap. Keep your Ready-to-Drink in the fridge to maintain its freshness. Concentrates can be kept at room temperature but must be stored in the fridge after opening. In that way, freshness and quality is maintained.

With regards to the safety of AllMyTea, we are rest assured because strict application of cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Processes through the use of SSOP or Sanitation Standard Procedure) have been implemented while on the process of documentation is HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). Marventure Corp., the company who is responsible for giving us AllMyTea, is already approved by BFAD with License to Operate No, RDII-MM-F-3326.

If you are wondering what kind of tea they are using, choose from the 3 kinds and take a good guess: black, green, oolong. Which of the 3 is fully-fermented, fully oxidized, and has the strongest flavor? It's black tea!

There are many ways to serve AllMyTea Iced Tea. You can have AllMyTea as a Foamy Frapped Iced Tea, Iced Tea Shake or as a Cocktail Base.

To make a Cocktail, prepare 200 mL of AllMyTea Concentrate then mix it with water (1 to 5 dilution) and also prepare 1 jigger of Belvedere Vodka. Mix them together and put some ice cubes to achieve the best result.

I am very sure that you want to grab your very own AllMyTea now so I will not prolong your agony. Head on to Cafe De France Robinsons, Japengo Japanese Restaurant, Wine and Dine, and Popeye's Grill House. AllMyTea will soon be available in other restaurants and schools near you!

Senpur Trading is the exclusive distributor of AllMyTea Iced Tea in Cebu. They are proudly Cebuano and they provide safe and quality products that is within our budget! Contact Senpur Trading for more inquiries and bulk orders.

Ultimate Special Overload Pizza Now Better Than Ever

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 04:27:00 +0000

Being the Philippines' most favorite pizza chain, Greenwich always looks for ways to set high standards in improving their sumptuous pizzas and pastas thus, making the Ultimate Special Overload Pizza premium-tasting while staying pocket-friendly, a way a pizza should be!

"Greenwich's Ultimate Special Overload tops the list of Greenwich pizzas. It has practically everything any pizza lover can ask for," shares Lulu De Castro, Greenwich Senior Marketing Manager.

The Ultimate Special Overload Pizza is a smorgasbord of everything mouthwatering, which renders anyone who savor its ambrosial goodness practically helpless, helpless in not wanting for more and more!

13 delectable toppings make the Ultimate Special Overload Pizza a notch higher than any other pizza in the market. The savory pizza is a myriad of delectable ingredients: pepperoni, salami, beef slices, and bacon. Fresh mushroom, minced garlic, onion, olives, red and green bell pepper complement the already star-studded marriage of toppings.

Pineapple chunks, mozzarella and cheddar cheese consummates the pizza masterpiece. Served fresh and hot everyday, the crust is crisp outside but soft and chewy in the inside.

No barkada celebration will ever be complete without the Greenwich Ultimate Special Overload Pizza. It is reasonably prized and is a perfect center of attention on any gathering. NO wonder it is 3x preferred by pizza lovers in the Philippines as compared to other pizza brands.

Ultimate Hawaiian Overload will Make You Crazy

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 03:12:00 +0000

Hawaiian goodness overload will surely make you crazy; crazy for more! We are talking about Greenwich's Ultimate Hawaiian Overload, one of the bestsellers of the biggest pizza chain in the Philippines. Filipinos love pizza and it is evident in the fact that they can't get enough of the better-than-ever pizzas of Greenwich and the Ultimate Hawaiian Overload is no exception.

"We have a great-tasting product and we want to share this with our customers. The Ultimate Hawaiian Overload pizza gives this popular flavor a new twist. As this is the favorite of Filipinos, Greenwich has made the Hawaiian pizza experience better than any other," shares Melo Cel Javelosa, Greenwich brand manager.

Why do Filipinos love The Ultimate Hawaiian Overload pizza? Let us decode the mystery word by word. Filipinos love to get the best out of anything so they will never settle for anything less but the "Ultimate." "Hawaiian" connotes the laid back life of the tropics which we Filipinos enjoy a lot. As mentioned earlier, since the Filipinos want to get the best out of anything, an "Overload" of something good is never out of the question. Then we got the word "Pizza" which the word by itself will make Filipinos gaga! Filipinos really love pizza!

What makes the Ultimate Hawaiian Overload pizza "ultimate" and "overloaded?" If one kind of cheese is not enough, Greenwich mixed 2 kinds of it to make your pizza experience more cheesier. Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese together with glazed pineapples, ham, and bacon are being combined together. Once the pizza gets into your mouth, the crust is crisp-on-the-outside-yet-soft-and-chewy-on-the-inside. The great thing about Greenwich is that they make their pizzas fresh everyday so you can be assured that you will get the best out of very delightful bite.

Greenwich always search for ways to make their pizzas satisfying to the Filipino palate. The Ultimate Hawaiian Overload Pizza will leave you wanting for more!

Jazz Up Your Life: Free French Jazz Piano Concert

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 06:16:00 +0000

For starters, I love John Lennon. He hates jazz. I don't. If he was still alive today, we'd probably have a never-ending argument between putting jazz off the face of the earth and preserving it. Knowing John Lennon, I'll probably keep him preoccupied by sending him tons of Bridget Bardot posters. That is, if he hasn't grown up yet.

I love jazz! I am happy to know that a FREE event will surely make jazz lovers like me jovial!

An Alliance Francaise Event will be featured this March 2, 2013 Saturday 7:30 PM at the Ayala Activity Center. The French Jazz Piano Concert will star Bojan Z and the event has FREE admission!

For more information, contact Alliance Francaise through telephone/fax (+632) 232-1311 or by visiting their official website at www.alliancefr.ph.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:37:00 +0000

President Benigno S. Aquino III

Megaworld, being the trendsetter that they are, finally brought their tried and tested "township" formula to Cebu. Thus, Mactan Newtown came about as a vision of developing the "live-work-play" lifestyle concept in the Visayas. To seal this vision into reality, Megaworld Chairman Andrew L. Tan, together with President Benigno S. Aquino III, led it's inauguration today. The rain may have dampen the island of Cebu but not the heart of Megaworld.

Megaworld will be investing 20 billion Pesos to complete the township, which is complete with residential condominiums, office spaces, world-class mall, and Richmonde Hotel, a sports and leisure facility.

Now that's what we call CeBOOOOOOOM!

When We Bugsay Together, It Will All Be Better: Akong Bugsay Children's Book Launching

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:14:00 +0000

Just as most people stayed on bed and was feeling lazy because of the cold and wet weather, today was not that kind of day for me. In fact, today was a great day for celebration. The book Akong Bugsay (My Paddle) was successfully launched by the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) at the Eduardo Aboitiz Hall of the Eduardo Aboitiz Development Studies Center.

Since I am a Beatle fanatic, this reminded me of The Yellow Submarine. I was wrong because this was the Bugsay (Paddle) Bookmark. Hehehe!

Akong Bugsay was the brainchild of the beautiful Amaya C. Aboitiz and illustrated by Karmina T. Cuizon. It is a bilingual children's book that was inspired by the Bugsay principle of his father, President Roberto "Bobby" E. Aboitiz (RAFI President). The principle was channeled through the story of a cute and curious child named Andoy and his hardworking father who works as a fisherman.

The beautiful Miss Amaya C. Aboitiz gives us a story how Akong Bugsay was made.

President Roberto "Bobby" E. Aboitiz shared to us the principle behind Akong Bugsay.

The Bugsay Principle may often be disregarded by adults because it is hidden under a children's book, but the lesson it teaches us echoes beyond years and wide-eyed wonder! The Bugsay Principle simply teaches us that it is important to have a goal, plan well, and work hard to achieve your goal. The principle can also be used in business or local government. It may sound simple but this is the secret of all the successful people in the world. According to President Bobby, attitude can make or break us.

All of my "Akong Bugsay" Book Launching photos can be seen on my Facebook Page. Click LIKE LIKE LIKE!

A copy of the book can be owned for a minimum investment of Php 150 while the coloring book can be yours for only Php 5o. A coloring book will be given to RAFI Dolores Aboitiz Children's Fund day care centers for every book that was sold during the launch.

All donated Akong Bugsay books landed here!

Mr. Ruben Licera Jr., president of Cebu Bloggers Society donates a copy of Akong Bugsay.

To grab your very own copy, visit the Casa Gorordo Museum shop, or you may contact 255-5630 and look for Joem de Gracia.

For the internet savvy, you can grab your own copy by visiting www.rafi.org.ph/publications/akong-bugsay.

Sing along with these cute kids. The song goes like this.......

"Bugsay, bugsay, kilingkiling diyutay.

Bugsay, bugsay sa barotong gamay."

Aren't those kids super cute? ^_^
