My son is going away. :'(

1 Comment

My son, Ralph, is going away soon — and I’m having a hard time coming to terms with it.

You see, Ralph has long been preparing for his first job as part of the cabin crew of an airline company. For those who aren’t aware, he applied for the job last year when we heard that this airline company was hiring in Manila.

For those curious, the airline company’s headquarters where my son will be training and working at is located in Malaysia. This is where our son would be based for two (2) years once he starts his job.

Run With Me 2018 – A quick thank you!

0 Comment

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Resorts World Manila for making me one of the ambassadors for this year’s “Run With Me 2018″ charity run which was held last Sunday (August 26) at the MOA Concert Grounds.

Run With Me 2018 - Resorts World Manila

Nilagnat at nag ka-trangkaso pa nga ako last Wednesday up until the night before the run. I was supposed to do the 10K but because of my cough, colds and fever, I decided to do the 5K instead dahil hindi pa ako fully recovered.

Step-by-step instructions para laging lumabas ang posts ko sa Facebook News Feed ninyo

0 Comment

Hi, everyone.

Baka napansin po ninyo na lately hindi lumalabas lahat ng posts ko sa Facebook News Feed ninyo. Well… ito po ay dahil nagbago ang algorithm ng Facebook lately. Hindi na po prioritized ang posts ng Facebook Pages kahit na nag-LIKE kayo sa Page ko. Ang proirity na po kasi ng Facebook ay ang posts ng FB friends ninyo kaya yun ang madalas ninyong makikita kaagad sa timeline ninyo.

Pero meron pong paraan para bumalik sa dati ang settings at para lumabas lagi ang posts ng Facebook Page ko sa News Feed/Timeline ninyo palagi. Kailangan lang po ay sundin ninyo ang step-by-step instructions (with photo examples) na ibibigay ko sa inyo dito. Nakikiusap po ako na sana gawin ninyo ito para tama po lagi kayong updated sa mga posts ko.
Wag po kayo magalala… madali lang po ang instructions.

Influence, impact and more positivity – A sudden realization

0 Comment

As public figures and personalities, there are a good number of us who don’t really comprehend and grasp the full extent of our influence and impact in the lives of our fans, supporters, and followers.

When I started seriously vlogging as of late, I did it as a way of expressing myself better and to share a little bit more of my everyday life. I wanted a new means to connect with my fans and supporters. I knew through comments and messages that I was, in my own little way, giving joy and happiness to many. But the true scope of my impact to some of my followers wasn’t all too clear to me — until now.

NBA League Pass - Globe at Home - The Finals

NBA League Pass – The ultimate way to watch the NBA Finals at home

0 Comment

Who’s been following the NBA Finals lately? I know, I have!

I’ve been an avid NBA fan as far back as I can remember. And the game of basketball has pretty much been my life when I was a kid. I’d join league competitions and pickup games every single day along with my friends. That’s why watching NBA games is one of my favorite forms of relaxation and serves as a great stress reliever for me.

NBA League Pass - Globe at Home - The Finals

This year’s NBA Finals is particularly more exciting because of a couple of reasons:

  1. This is the 3rd consecutive season that my team, the Golden State Warriors (Go, Dubs!), and the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing off in the Finals. A first in the NBA!
  2. The Golden State Warriors have cruised through the Western Conference playoffs, straight to the Finals with absolutely NO LOSS! That’s right. After winning Game 2 of the NBA Finals yesterday, they are already 14-0 in the playoffs. Also, another record in the league! Insane!

And while it seems that the Golden State Warriors are every bit the juggernaut everyone expected them to be after signing NBA superstar and former MVP, Kevin Durant, many fans are still hopeful that the Cavs will bounce back from 0-2 deficit and win the series. While that may seem like a daunting task, it is not impossible. If you remember, during last season’s Finals, Lebron and the Cavs were also in a similar situation against the Warriors. They were down 1-3 in the series and yet they rallied to force a game 7 and ultimately win the championship.

I’m really hoping the Golden State Warriors maintain their winning streak and become the first team ever in the NBA to complete the playoffs undefeated.

The iPhone 7 wait is almost over!

0 Comment

Well, it’s that time of the year again when you can feel that undeniable excitement in the air.

No, I’m not talking about Christmas which also happens to be just ’round the corner. I’m talking about that most anticipated time of the year when the newest model of the best phone (in my opinion) on the planet makes its way over to our side of the planet.

I’m talking about the Apple iPhone 7.

Choose Better - Sun Cellular

The telco war and knowing how to CHOOSE BETTER

34 Comments

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I couldn’t help but recall this saying as I quietly observe the latest developments on the ongoing (and never ending) telco war.

Choose Better - Sun CellularAs of late, I just noticed that Sun Cellular has been quite forward on its attacks against Globe Telecom. They seem to have been making not-so-subtle snipes against the leading telco in the country in hopes of probably luring old and new subscribers away from Globe.

I happened to chance upon a couple of sites just like this one, who have noticed the same thing. That’s why I decided to throw in my two cents on this issue.

Sun Cellular, which everyone knows is also owned by Smart, seems to be more busy criticizing and being critical of Globe’s own promos and upcoming events rather than just focusing on improving their own offerings.

Such has been the method of attack of both sister companies, it seems.

Acacia Hotel Manila, Alabang – A home away from home

2 Comments

I recently had a short but very sweet staycation down south at Acacia Hotel Manila. It was my first time to experience this fairly established fixture right smack at the heart of Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

And since staycations always make me feel like a kid again, this particular occasion was no different. I was just as giddy as my kids driving to the hotel.

Acacia Hotel Manila - Alabang

Heading to Acacia Hotel Manila, we were delighted to find out that the establishment is positioned very close to restaurants, malls, groceries and even drugstores. Talk about convenience!

Upon arriving, we went straight to their basement parking (which had ample space, by the way) and took the elevator straight up to the lobby. My family and I were warmly welcomed by the wonderful folks of Acacia Hotel Manila. Check-in was an absolute breeze and before we knew it, we were already being whisked to our room. Yay!

World Habitat Day 2014 – Habitat for Humanity Philippines’ 1st Online Champion Build

0 Comment

There is a reason why “Shelter” is one of the three basic (and important) human needs with “food” and “clothing” being the other two.

Apart from the obvious reason of providing protection from the weather, shelter gives tangibility to a person’s notion of a home – a physical manifestation, so to speak. It is a place where one comes to at the end of the day to find rest and personal security.

It is a tragedy that a great majority of Filipino families do not have decent dwelling places which they can call “home”.

But there is hope. It may be a long standing problem, but it is most definitely something that we can all come together for and change for the better.
