Jinkee-Manny-Krista a love triangle?

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:35:00 +0000

Does Krista Ranillo really the root of Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao’s quarrel? I saw on TV how Jinkee shunned Manny’s attempt to comfort her as she cried over during the thanksgiving mass. Not only that. She leaned not on Manny’s shoulder for comfort but on a female friend right beside her. She sat down during the exchange of “peace be with you” and never showed up on after-fight party at LA.

Of course this issue is a very personal thing but such actions speak louder than words. Does Manny really go to Hongkong with Krista? Why Krista and his father accompanied Manny during the giving of relief goods for Ondoy victims and not Jinkee? Why Krista and her family need to fly abroad to watch Manny’s fight? Are all these merely an advance step for Wapakman? Or there is really something romantic going on between the 2 that made Jinkee cried and sudden boycott?

Whatever is the real score between the couple let us pray and hope for the best.

Rhap Salazar @ Ellen DeGeneres show

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:01:00 +0000

After the remarkable performance of Charice Pempengco at Ellen DeGeneres Show, here comes Rhap Salazar. It was a birthday wish came true for Rhap when he was able to sing at the renowned TV show last November 17. He sang “All By Myself” and received a standing ovation from Ellen and the studio guests.

According to news, Ellen even showed herself during the rehearsal of Rhap which is unusual according to her staff. Ellen never shows herself on the guest’s rehearsal and this is probably the first and maybe this little boy really made Ellen surprise and curious.

Congratualtions Rhap and good luck!

Charter's Ultra60 Mbps, the Phatband technology

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:41:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Internet forms part of people’s lives from all walks of life. For a full time housewife and a blogger like me going online is one ordinary task I have in my ever day list. I love to cook and internet is a big help for me to improve and learn many dishes about this stuff. Exchanging emails with my love ones and friends that really save me not only time but moreover on the expenses. Checking out the latest and hottest news in town plus the newest issue about my favorite artists and watching previews of several movies available.

Being a blogger, I prefer of course the fastest internet speed I can avail of. I do open several windows simultaneously because I am involved in several online stuffs. Slow (especially very slow) internet connection really sucks for every internet user. I hate to wait. Imagine waiting for minutes just to download a page. Ugh! It is so excruciating and a waste of time.

Lucky for those people in Saint Louis because they can enjoy the benefits of having charter ultra fast 60. I can’t imagine loading a page with just a split of seconds. For sure streaming my favorite HD movies, games for my kids and more will be a lot easier and fast. With the help of the new phatband technology services like these are not far behind and they can even surpass internet user’s expectations in every inch of preferences.

Currently, we are using DSL and I am completely frustrated. I may not be a techie person but I guess the cable internet technology will be a lot satisfying. Can you bring Ultra60 Mbps here Charter? It is hard dealing with just a 1-5 Mbps service I have right now and your Ultra60 Mbps will be a great Christmas present.

Villar-Legarda on 2010 elections

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:46:00 +0000

Senator Manny Villar (Nacionalista Party – NP) finally announced and chose Senator Loren Legarda (Nationalist People’s Coalition – NPC) to be his running mate for the 2010 elections. After such a long and winding road towards finding the right partner for him it is now finally over as the filing for candidacy nearing. But Senator Legarda clears that it is not a coalition between NPC and NP. She will just serve as a guest candidate of NP as their official candidate vice president.

LeapFish & Make-A-Wish @ Jacob

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:12:00 +0000

Hello blogosphere! This post is for those who have a Twitter account out there to tweet for a cause. I got an email from LeapFish regarding this Tweet-A-Cause for Make-A-Wish foundation.

A four year old boy Jacob has Atresia. It is a rare and life threatening disease that has affected him since birth. For each tweet it will generate a $0.05 cent donation from LeapFish that will eventually help Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish foundation raise $10k to send Jacob and his family to Disneyland for a week.
Let us all help to grant Jacob his wish and makes him happy. Who knows? Maybe if we all help Jacob’s wish come true and makes him so happy miracle will happen. This is one tweet worth doing for.

Let us all pray that God’s miraculous and healing hands is upon Jacob to receive complete healing.

Manny Pacquiao wins @ Firepower fight

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:29:00 +0000

Firepower is over and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao won his 7th belt, the WBO Welterweight Championship belt of Miguel Cotto at 145 lbs. Hubby and his brothers watched it through live streaming feed and connect it on the big screen. Not much of commercials, actually a minute interval between rounds only. As of me I was not able to join them coz I am doing the laundry so I just took time to watch it at GMA-7 with plenty of commercial. Ughh!!!

Congratulations PACMAN!!! You deserve the title of “pound for pound king” in every inch of its meaning. You made the Filipinos proud again.

Starmill's Outlet Mall @ San Fernando, Pampanga

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:56:00 +0000

Christmas is nearing and I know most of us would prefer an early shopping to avoid crowded malls and long cashier line ups. But of course this is possible for those who will receive their 13th month and bonus earlier.

There’s one place I heard from the news where you can buy branded clothes, shoes, accessories and lot more at prices cheaper than the malls for about 50%. Right after San Fernando Exit in Pampanga is this STARMILL’S OUTLET MALL. Never been here yet but I intended to bring my family here to check out the stuff. Prices are really low for a branded piece.

Vote Efren Peñaflorida @ 2009 CNN Heroes

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:29:00 +0000

Help support Efren Peñaflorida to be the 2009 CNN Hero. Voting continues until Thursday, November 19, 2009 (6 a.m. ET). There is no limit on the number of times you may vote for the Hero of the Year.

ABOUT THE GROUP
Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) is a group of concerned young people with a mission of making a small yet significant difference in other people’s lives, particularly the small children in slum areas who have no access to education, basic hygiene and sometimes, even love from their families. The group was founded in August 1997 by four teenagers from Cavite National High School. The initial group made up of around 20 members started as a friendship club which aimed to divert the attention of students from joining violent gangs and notorious fraternities that were thriving on the campus. Their major platform then was to cater youth awareness projects, talent and self development activities, and community services. Today, the group holds different activities to address these issues.

TOUGH BEGINNINGS
In 1999, Efren “Kuya Ef!” Penaflorida Jr. who is living near the city dump site and one of the group’s founder, began to reach out to slum kids. This marked the emergence of the “Kalingain Batang Mahirap” (Care of Impoverished Children), DTC’s feeding project for children who scavenge for left-overs and spoiled food from the dump site. The group had a hard time involving older people to the cause and so they trained themselves to be self-sufficient enough to teach the young kids themselves. The group was able to support itself and its projects by showcasing their talents in staged concerts and performances; and by selling old newspapers, bottles, and recycled products. This enabled DTC to train more potential youth leaders and eventually led to a purchase of a pedicab for its literacy and feeding projects.

TODAY
With the training and supervision of Kuya Ef who is now a professional educator, DTC has indeed come a long way. Their mission to teach unschooled, labor-exploited and neglected street children is slowly being realized today. The group also conducts weekly feeding, first aid treatment of scabies and wounds, and values formation activities through their K4 Project (Kariton Klasrum, Klinik at Kantin). Hygiene and first aid skills are supervised by registered midwives and professional nurses who are DTC Alumni.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The fruits of their labor are slowly being reaped as former drug users and petty thieves who were reformed through their projects are now also serving as volunteers. Former scavengers are now in school and are helping to raise funds. Some of the children who remain unschooled are now able to read and write. DTC was able to reach thousands of children through their Mind Your Rights (MY RIGHTS) campaign and through their health-literacy work.
In 2007, they launched the “WE ARE THE CHANGE” campaign to inspire people to be the catalyst for change – in what they want to see in their home, community and the world we live in. For they believe that real change happens when we begin to touch one soul and change one heart at a time.

Smart holiday spending tips

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:55:00 +0000

Christmas is nearing and we already have some advance planning for the season’s needs. Part of that planning is buying presence to our love ones. As we all know Christmas is a spending season for people from all walks of life.

Below are some shopping tips to guide you. Remember we can celebrate Christmas without going over budget.

Plan ahead - As early as possible, list down people you want to give gifts to. Wait for mall-wide sales, inventory sales, closing-out sales, or even calamity sales throughout the year. Definitely, prices will be lower and you can start buying gifts in increments - without having to spend large amounts in one go.

Shop early - If you have a shopping list ready, try going at early hours in the day when malls or stores open. This way, you won't feel harassed when looking for gifts and if you shop early enough in the season, you won't have to compete with other buyers for limited items or stocks.

Go bargain hunting - It is fun to shop in bargain hotspots like Divisoria in Manila, the Dapitan Arcade in Quezon City, or the Green Hills "tiangge" in San Juan. You can find a lot of gift items or decorations - and haggle with the stall keepers when you buy. This means you can stick to your budget.

Look for "UK" goods - These are not imports from London, but "ukay-ukay" finds. Some of them, like vintage bags or clothes, can be jazzed up with newer items to give gifts that homemade touch. Never underestimate the value of making homemade gifts when your budget gets tight.

Recycle gifts - Don't know what to do with items you got in previous Christmases but have never used? Try re-wrapping them and giving them as gifts to people whom you think would make good use of them. Make sure you don't give it back to the source!

Want to give food as gifts? - Try homemade rather than store-bought. Homemade delicacies will be appreciated more than store-bought food and will cost you much less.

Buy in bulk - If you have a lot of people on your Christmas shopping list, and you aren't certain about what they like, consider buying items in bulk. You can purchase multiple sets of gifts like t-shirts, candles, or foodstuffs. These types of gifts are ideal if you have co-workers, employees, or sets of acquaintances. Sometimes, stores also offer discounts for buyers who buy wholesale or many items at once.

Be pragmatic and strike out names - It may sound mean-spirited but you don't really have to buy for every person around you. Sometimes you really need to shorten your Christmas shopping list to make it more manageable especially when you have a limited budget.

Clustering - Also, try to cluster the people on your Christmas list. Instead of buying for every co-worker, why not give them just one large gift - like a cake? Or instead of buying for every aunt or uncle, why not give them gifts as a couple?

No-gift season? - Make an agreement with your family members that no one should spend more than a certain amount for gifts (setting a price cap for gifts). You can even go the charitable route: instead of giving each other gifts, why not send much-needed "presents" (food, clothing, toys) to charitable organizations?

Ang Tanging Pamilya movie trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:40:00 +0000

November 11 is the showing date for Star Cinema’s Ang Tanging Pamilya. A comedy film bringing up the love team again of Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga plus the comeback movie for former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada. What adds fire to this movie is the hilarious battle between Ai-Ai delas Alas (Toni’s mom) and Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao (Sam’s mom). The trailer gives a preview of how movie goers will laugh to death on the different funny and entertaining scenes of the movie.

Watch the full trailer of the movie here.

Nov. 15: Pacquiao vs. Cotto

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:35:00 +0000

The much awaited fight of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao against the Puerto Rican champ Miguel Cotto is only 11 days from now. Both are in good shapes and well-prepared. Who will win the fight? Of course for Filipinos it will be Pacman but better to wait for the fight and watch what these 2 renowned boxers has to offer to boxing fanatics and who is who. Read here.

In relation to Pacman’s upcoming fight, congressmen are urged to skip watching live the said bout. Important bills are yet to pass (not possible without a quorum) and their constituents are still devasted and in dire need of their support especially for rehabilitation.

Sad to say that appeal like this has to be made to politicians in power. Well I guess due to old age of many they tend to forget that they are public servants and the Filipino people are their top priority. Do they need to get negative public opinion? If so, voters take note of those irresponsible and insensitive leaders. They do not deserve to be voted or re-elected. Don’t sell your votes. Vote wisely for your own sake.

Cheryl Cosim et al victims of road rage

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:42:00 +0000

Cheryl Cosim, broadcaster and TV anchor, was now one of the statistics of the police regarding road rage incidents. Cheryl together with her husband and in-laws who came from a vacation and beating her work schedule met in the road an irresponsible and rude gun owner in the name of Richard Castro Ordonez who owns a Nissan Cefiro with plate number XPY497.

It was really traumatic for Cheryl where Mr. Ordonez cut them, walked out of his car, got near to them and pointed them his unlicensed gun. Check out the news video here.

According to reports, said Mr. Ordonez owns 7 guns and all of these have expired licenses. Gun owners who have temper like of Mr. Ordonez must not be given permission to have and carry a gun. With just one wrong move he might take a life out of just a simple road incident and of his unruly attitude.

Cheryl already filed cases (grave threat and illegal possession of firearms) on fleeing Mr. Ordonez. May the authorities issue immediately a travel ban on this individual to let him face the consequences of his action. And may our authorities acted on different incidents regardless of civil status.

Christmas decors @ Dapitan Arcade

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:08:00 +0000

Christmas is nearing and Filipinos, no matter what happens, will surely find ways to feel and celebrate it. One very common tradition is the Christmas décor we put on our homes. I do understand that these items are bit expensive in malls especially on some classy stores. But in Manila there is a place where you can shop for Christmas decors at prices that suits your budget.

The Dapitan Arcade (Kanlaon St. corner Dapitan St.) in Sta. Mesa Heights, Quezon City is a place where you can find stuff for your house, season items and not. It is a great place for Christmas shoppers because it is not crowded, wide selection of good stuff and bargain prices.

Check items here.

In Memoriam 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:40:00 +0000

Yesterday, November 1, the family went to the memorial park where the remains of my late father-in-law rested. The weather was really hot but we assembled quite a medium size tent enough to accommodate the family. We bought flowers and candles for our beloved father.

I got to be with my father-in-law for such a short time after the wedding. Hubby and I got married October 1998 and he died August of 2009. But I have nothing but admiration towards him for being such a simple, practical and supportive person. It is not possible for me to drop by at the North Cemetery where my grandmothers, grandfathers and two uncles rested. So I went by to the church near the memorial park to light candles for them and say my prayers for them.

To our beloved love ones who are now with God continue to guide us and be our angels. We love you and miss you so much!!!

2009 World Pyro Olympics

Sen. Chiz Escudero leaves NPC

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:10:00 +0000

What is the latest news in Philippine politics in connection with the coming 2010 election?
Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero (being reported as one of the presidentiables then) announced today (Wednesday) that he is resigning from the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) after being member since 1998. It is the political party of business tycoon Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr. who is being rumored supporting the administration candidate for president and nephew at the same time, NDCC Head Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro.

I personally believe having a party is not the problem. The question is knows when the loyalty to your party ends to give a 100% transparent and dedicated public service. Chiz can run independently or under a party of his choice but once (and if) elected his loyalty now belongs to the millions of Filipinos longing for a big change. Politicians, businessmen and others who try to support a winning candidate must have a clear conscience and a big heart not to consider the winning as “payback time” but the strong belief that they are supporting a person who will lead Filipinos to change.

Read here for more of the announcement.

Climate Change Act of 2009 signed

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:57:00 +0000

The Climate Change Act of 2009 was signed by President Arroyo today (Friday) before leaving for Thailand to attend the ASEAN Summit where climate change is said to be discussed. The bill will institutionalize the government response to climate change.

That bill is for what our government will do about climate change? But what about our bill about climate change to ourselves? What are our little ways to help mitigate the effect of climate change?

Two days ago I was really mad to a neighbor who placed her box of trash in front of my house. I was really looking at their house with sharp and angry eyes not only for putting that box of trash in my front yard but being heartless towards other people and being so lazy with their social responsibility. Yes our street was lucky because we were not affected by Ondoy and Pepeng, but is that so? I said in a loud voice how insensitive and rude they are in placing their trash on street, open and scattering.

Climate change concern is not only about what our government needs to do. We also have our fair share on it. If we do all our shares toward climate change then we can save more people, our country, our beloved Earth.

Parent's Choice Infant Formula on sale @ Walmart

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:55:00 +0000

Among the most common expensive disbursements of parents for infants pertains to milk formula, aside from the daily vitamins, monthly check up, etc. I remember those times when I am still buying infant formula my goodness it was really financially breaking me apart and yet for a week’s consumption alone. Terrible! But thanks to a relative who worked then in a milk manufacturer and she enabled me saves as much as 50% of the cost.

But the most common misconception of other parents is that they need to buy expensive and name-brand formulas because they are safer for infants rather than a store brand formula. That is not actually a reality especially among infant formulas being sold in the US. FDA has the authority to check and ensure that all infant formulas sold in the US meet the minimum and maximum nutrient specifications. So with this why go high if you can go low with the same catch?

A perfect example of this is the store brand Parent’s Choice Formula. Exclusively available at Walmart stores, this infant formula is being sold at a fair and just price with the same nutrient specifications you can find with other formulas. Aside from that, the good news is special cans of Parent’s Choice Infant Formula are currently on sale but for a limited time only. Parents can buy two cans for just $10. How? Check it out below:

Parent’s Choice Milk Infant Formula is on sale in a 15.5 oz (440 gram) can for $5.00 each.
Parent’s Choice Gentle Infant Formula for babies with fussiness or gas is on sale in a special 12.9 oz (366 gram) can for $5.00 each.

Thanks to these store-brand formulas! They are giving parents the best option they can have for their beloved babies and easing the financial burns.

Shop & Share: Stars give back

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:29:00 +0000

Stars (celebrities) give back! In support for all the victims of typhoon Ondoy, Shop and Share website was launched and spearheaded by actress Angel Locsin to extend help. Among others who contributed their personal belongings are Anne Curtis, Dimples Romania, Kris Aquino, Ruffa Gutierrez, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Richard Gutierrez and a lot more. This move shows that artists know it is payback time. It is time to give back to the people a part of what these devastated people gave them (money, living, fame, etc.).

May this good deed and realization comes to the heart and mind of every Filipino that we need each other to bring change to the Philippines and stand up as one people, one country. With or without calamities, may we always be united and always look at the welfare of our less fortunate brothers and sisters. And may our less fortunate brothers and sisters find in their hearts and minds that in their little way too can help bring change to our country.

Importance & power of web directories

noreply@blogger.com (Crissy) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:56:00 +0000

I remember when I was just started setting up my personal blog way back March of 2008, my friend/mentor told me to list down the blog in many web directories as much as I can. Being a newbie in the world of blogging of course I asked then how important it is to add my blog in a certain web directory. Traffic is very important for any blog and listing it to many established and trusted web directories I am much assured that it will help me gain exposures among its searchers. As days go by, I saw visitors coming from the web directories where I listed down my blog from my traffic map and list of referrers.

There is nothing to lose adding a blog from these web directories because most of them are free or you just need to exchange link with them. A very cheap price as compared to wide exposures and endless traffic you will gain for your beloved blog.

Among the biggest and most common web directories in the net is Yahoo! Directory being utilized by bloggers like me as well as business blogs all over the world. Listing my blog on its proper category (and sub-category) give I a chance to be came across by people looking for information that fits my blog’s theme. Gaining traffic in the web will eventually give me a good page rank and with that subsequently make me earn much than what I think of. On the other hand, Business.com is a huge directory for various businesses to list down their site to gain more traffic/visitors and more of that exposures will eventually lead to more sales thus more income.

Of course by now I well understand the importance of web directories and much more of what I gain from it. As long as these web directories exist I know there are more people to come and visit my blog.
