This is my first time to attend a tech-related event.  And I'm excited!  In fact, I arrived early at the venue (Astoria Plaza).  The event was exclusive only for bloggers, which according to them is their new market or let's say new medium to spread their products online.  Brands like Asus, JBL!, Archos, Cool Master, Kingston, ATI, BenQ, Sandisk and more were displayed all around the Tribecca Function Room.

148th years of Gat. Andres Bonifacio

Isa ka ba sa fanatics ng Twilight Saga? The one who read all four books and still keep on reading it again and again? Have you watched Twilight to Eclipse  movies?  If yes.....you're a certified Twilight fanatic and magkakasundo tayo. :)  I'm excited to watch the first installment of Breaking Dawn today at SM Megamall together with my colleagues and sister who is now on her 8th month pregnancy (what a fanatic!).  Hoping na wag muna syang manganak dahil sa kilig! :D

Tickets were bought last week coz we're afraid na maubusan ng tickets.

All I Want this Christmas is Cubik Eyewear

I am the kind of person who loves to travel.  I’m an adventurer and loves exciting tours and events.  

during our Ilocos tour
But having Myopia (nearsightedness-meaning can see better up close than at far distances) since my high school days, is quite a problem.L  Because of that I hardly see beautiful things in front of me at a distant place.  And also, the nature of my work requires me to be at the front of my computer for about 8-9 hours each day plus the fact that I’m using my  cell phone to read e-books, gives addition to my eye problems.

MTV Exit 2011: Campaign against Exploitation and Human Trafficking

MTV Exit is a campaign about freedom-about our right as human beings to choose where we live, where we work, who are friends are and who we love.  Most of us take these freedoms for granted, but hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world have had these basic human rights taken away.  They are the victims of trafficking, the modern day slaves and criminals have forced, defrauded them into various forms of labor, and prostitution.

Sea witch is actually the name of an American clipper ship designed by naval architect John Griffiths for China and Howland Aspinwall and launched in Manhattan on December 8, 1846.

This picture is just a replica of that ship in a toy exhibit (bonsai toys, dunno the exact term) held at SM Megamall.

Sleepless Nights

Recently, I'm having troubles in sleeping.  It's not because I'm not praying before going to bed but maybe because I have too much in my head.  More thoughts keep popping even in my sleep...what's wrong with me? :( Is it because of the surrounding that makes me alert all the time, or is there something that might happen someday?  Paranoia  attacks me......what should I do?

Thinking and thinking......Praying and praying......

Just sharing: Love your Family!


When you're having a problem, you can ask help to your friends and or boyfriend/girlfriend, but if they can't help you, what you have to do is to look back to your family and you'll find them welcoming you with open arms.  Remember: It is God who can solve our problems, together with our family.

Whale Shark (Butanding) Festival

I once dreamed of swimming with this mammoth in the waters of Donsol, Sorsogon and still dreaming of it until it happens! :D

The festival is held annually during the summers of April 28-30 to give due respect to their patron animal the "butanding" and a thanksgiving for all the blessings it brings to the people of Donsol.


Rodeo MasbateƱo Festival

Masbate is my father's hometown.  And unfortunately, I've never been there so I'm including Masbate on my wish-list of places to travel next year.

Farewell, Steve Jobs!


We're all saddened by the news that Steve Jobs passed away after his resignation announcement last August 24.  Jobs was diagnosed with cancer in pancreas and on leave since January 17 of this year.  The technical genius that brought us the Mac, Iphone and Ipad will surely be a great loss in Apple Company and the industry and also to us who love his creations.

Farewell, Steve Jobs!


Starting all over again

Hi dear readers, after the very long period of my hibernation, I'm finally awakened and now thinking what to post. :)  And I decided to post topics about foods and food trips, fashion (if any) and health. :)  So let's the ball rolling...

Hope you'll enjoy reading.

Birthday give-away!

Upon reading Meme's and other blogs, I stumble to Digital Catharsis  and finds out that Nelson will be celebrating his birthday this June.  With that, he'll be giving away $100 in cold cash.  Ain't that amazing?  A celebrant is the one to reward his guests :)


I am Grateful!

This is my first time to join BC Blogger's Meme and here is my entry for this week.

There are lots of things to be grateful.  Like this weekend, my sister and I together with my nephews had given a chance to have our family day at Crosswinds Resort at Tagaytay courtesy of Nuffnang.  We really had fun!  The place is just perfect for the event, the lantern lifting at dawn.

We were sponsored by Jac liner for that trip from Bonifacio Global to Tagaytay and vice versa.  We don’t think of anything but to enjoy and participate to every game they've hosted.  They showered us with lots of foods from their sponsors e.g Pizza Hut, Jollibee, Goldilocks, Del Monte and more.

My nephews enjoyed his vacation before getting back to school.
