Pamana Pays Tribute to Ninoy and Cory Aquino

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Congratulations to the casts of the PAMANA docu-musical that pays tribute to Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. and Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino.

The docu-musical tells the story of an ordinary Filipino family burdened by events that transpired all throughout the years especially recounting the life and death of two of our most honored heroes who both inspired a great number of our people to have the courage to freely demonstrate their scared sovereign will.

This is also the first time I realized that "Benigno" means "maganda" and Corazon means "puso". Combine the two and you have a "beautiful heart". That was what the play shared and it struck me hard that they were right.

Bodjie Pascua, Malou de Guzman, Jett Pangan, and Kakki Teodoro played the lead casts and showed exemplary performances. Kudos also to the supporting casts and bit players for all-out spectacular acting.

My ideal home is one where I would find peace and relaxation. It is where I would feel comfortable and at ease, able to let loose, put my shoes and socks away and walk barefoot on grass. To breath the fresh air and stretch my arms upwards towards the blue skies. To be able to release all inhibitions and frustrations because I know that I am at a place where I am accepted and everything else around me is at a state of tranquility.

A particular place where I find serenity is at parks and forested areas. The feeling to be one with nature and calm surroundings refreshes me, calms and soothes me and gives me the inner strength to be hopeful for a better and fruitful life.

You won't usually find inner peace in a busy neighborhood that has been robbed of the opportunity to be one with nature. I find it a drastic move to put down trees in exchange of a more favorable business opportunity. So I am glad to hear that PrimeHomes is preserving 80% of the greenery and 65% of the open spaces in the latest community it is building called Larossa in Capitol Hills - an Urban Botanical Community right in the heart of Quezon City.

It may not be uniquely their own concoction because pizza, pasta and nachos have been around for ages already. I grew up with these choices as among our selected meals during family bonding moments after church, malls, theme parks and other recreational attractions visits.

The three are common dishes that has marked themselves as popular meals for many Filipinos who want to stay away from our usual staple food, or as snack options during hours outside lunch or dinner time.

However, Benito's Kitchen has told us that they are making efforts in giving their dishes more of that "Oomph!" appeal to give their name an extra special recognition.

With a target market belonging to the class A and B neighborhood, the ultimate goal of Benito's Kitchen is to perhaps come up with personalized products worth every peso of their valued customers money.

Intense is an understatement - at the UP JMA ADHOC Seek Avidity!!!

ADHOC is the UP JMA’s biggest fundraiser party and is done for the benefit of the Kids Integrated Development through Schooling (KIDS) Program, which subsidizes the education and allowance of 40 public school students, and the UP JMA Scholarship Fund meant for Business Administration students in UP Diliman .

Everyone witnessed how a huge crowd coming from several colleges and universities, including young professionals, all over the Metro, gathered all together to form one grand and euphoric party!

The organizers must have not expected such a huge turnout to the point that it became so difficult to accommodate all the attendees. I thought there was going to be a stampede as the attendees tried to force their way inside the World Trade Center due to the long wait they had to endure at the entrance.

Though there were some delays and a few uncontrolled hiccups, the stunning beats from the guest DJs, the remarkable light-effects, the free-flowing booze all over the party area, and cool dudes and lovely ladies - made the party definitely an overwhelming success!!!

Smartphone Quick Snap vs SLR Quality Snap

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Today’s world is more image-centric than it ever was before. Whether you’re a Facebook fanatic, a Pinterest user, or an avid blog writer, there’s no denying the importance of a good image to attract engagement from friends and readers.

Fortunately, with the rise of quality and affordable cameras, making photo memories to share with your family, friends, and readers is easier than ever. In fact, most people today own more than one camera—a SLR (single-lens reflex) camera and a smartphone camera—which they use for different purposes.

You probably use your smartphone camera when you just want to snap a few quick photos of a local landmark or your night out with friends, or when you don’t want to worry about your camera in a crowded place like a concert venue or a theme park.

On the other hand, you probably use your SLR camera when you want to make sure you’re taking the best quality images at a special event or while you’re on holiday. Let’s take a look at few of the best smartphone cameras and SLR cameras to suit all of your photo needs.

If I were to ask you to choose between JAPAN and the PHILIPPINES, which country would you choose?

Your homeland? or the country you've been adoring ever since?

It's like you're choosing between the person you love because it's where your heart belongs and the person that loves you because you've been with that person for a long time.

Well, this question is related to the topic of this article that I will discuss later on. It's about the difference between the culture of both countries I mentioned earlier.

So what party would you choose? Is it the team Philippines or the team Japan? Cast your votes on the comment box after reading the article :)

Let's start..
