Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

I say; Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter plus a positive outlook in life goes a long long way. We Filipinos know how to adopt ourselves to the worst possible scenario in life; financial, mental or physical. We know how to see things in a different perspective and it always give us hope to survive the trials that comes on our way. Two years ago, I was lucky to witness the awarding of the Happiest Pinoy 2012 awardee Rommel Arellano. You will never expect that a man who has polio would rise above the situation that he had. Rommel is married for 13 years and had 3 sons who support him. At that time, his prize was only P250, 000.00 and he was happy. With  Happiest Pinoy grand winners Winston Maxino and Rommel Arellano

SM Megamall is the nearest place in my residence where I could truly enjoy watching movies; alone or with my family or barkada.   It was easy to just to get a copy of DVD and enjoy watching movies at home but still there is something that I cannot explain when I watch the movie inside a movie theater.   I appreciate the fact that SM Cinema continuous to bring more than movies to customers like me. SM Cinema through its CinExclusive program continues to bring movie-lovers an exciting line-up of action-filled stories this October. This month’s suspense and adventure-filled movie list includes Little Azkals: Pursuit of the World Cup Dream, Detective Conan: Dimensional Sniper, Tumbang Preso (In the Can), and The Pirates.  

My daughters were still in grade school when we first tried the SM skating rink in Megamall. I was fascinated as to what the children can perform in the skating rink, considering we are a tropical country. I even enrolled my children to take up some lessons in figurative skating since they are doing ballet lesson. I know that the skating would be helpful as well with regards to their ballet dance routine. That scenario was way way back and now SM Skating Rink doesn’t stand for figurative skating anymore. SM Skating Rink now stands for another type of sports; the speed race. For the first time in the Philippines, the country will host the recent international speed skating tournament last October 21-23, 2014 – a recreational competition to hone skaters for events such as the Winter Olympics.

I was ask if I want to join a father-daughter treat by Jollibee; I actually wasn’t able to answer right away. I love my father but we are not perfect and we recently had a tampuhan. I know my tatay loves me that’s why I tried to call him and texted him when he didn’t answer his phone. I know that the #BestDateEver would be the answer to finish this tampuhan thing and I was right. The event was held last Oct. 16, 2014. The dinner time was to happen at around 5:30 and actually losing hope to have my date with my dad because there was no text or call from him. I got the surprise of my life when at around 2 pm, my tatay shows up and with tampo voice ask: “ where are we going?”. I immiaditely answer: “ Mag dadate.”. From there I knew that the tampo thing is over. We have a special bond and this bond will last forever.  Me with my Tatay Peping

My daughter wants me purchase a new home away from the metro, and she want it to be in  Cavite. I was fortunate enough to be able to get a glimpse of new city on the rise located at Cavite. It was a good move for me to join the group as we visit the new development by Pro-Friends. A new city rises in Mega Manila and it’s unlike any other you’ve seen before. Another quality development by property developer and game changer Property Company of Friends, Inc. or simply PRO-FRIENDS, Lancaster New City is a haven of quality homes to Filipino families. Deeply rooted in understanding the needs of the Filipino family, PRO-FRIENDS dared to make a difference by envisioning a one-of-a kind township community near the Metro that would enable the family to completely bond with each other. Starting with its first phase in 2007, Lancaster has quickly evolved into a master-planned community that spans to more than 1,400 hectares that covers Kawit, Gen. Trias, and Imus Cavite. Situated nea...

We all love our teacher. We find ways show them how special they are and the good news is; we are not alone in this endeavor. There are companies who value our teachers. PLDT GabayGuro (2G), the teacher advocacy group of the PLDT Smart Foundation (PSF) and PLDT Managers' Club Inc., is organizing the biggest-ever tribute to teachers as it celebrates National Teachers’ Month in this year’s Grand Gathering event at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on October 5.

I know you are watching this, the “I DO”.  I was interested to find out where is the location and found out about it. I was also able to visit it personally thru ProFriends. The Property Company of Friends, Inc. is proud to have made another major milestone in its 15 years in the business by hosting ABS-CBN’s first “realiserye” inside its flagship project, Lancaster New City. Inside Lancaster New City is the “I Do Village”, an enclave of Margaret house models where the nine (9) couples of the “I Do” Realiserye Show stayed for a total of ten (10) weeks. The couples are faced with different challenges that will test their teamwork, communication, and trust. Each exercise will make them realize if they are ready for the big commitment of marriage. Being a complete township that fosters family bonding, the concept of “I DO” fits Lancaster New City’s vision of building happy and healthy families. By tackling the different aspects that make a marriage work, “I Do” is a progr...
