Independence Day Rockin' Freedom Party at the Araneta Center

Wazzup Pilipinas!

OPM bands rule! They totally hit the spot whenever I get to hear them play a tune and sing a song that would normally blew my head off.

I kinda like it when the beat would somehow make my body move to the rhythm. It would start with some finger tapping, head going up and down, feet stomping to the ground, then all of the sudden, I see myself rocking to the magnetic beat. It feels like I'm totally free to do anything. To let my body follow in total freedom.

FREEDOM ROCKS! That’s why OPM bands Join The Club and Tanya Markova are rockin’ the night away on June 12 at The Araneta Center…for FREE! Yes, it’s FREE! We are giving you a FREE CONCERT on Independence Day!

The Old Spaghetti House, otherwise know as TOSH, will be here and everywhere for a very long time!

Why? Just one bite of any of their highly recommended dishes will keep you coming back for more!...and more! ...and more! ....and I'm not exaggerating!

My friends and I just had the opportunity to dine at their Eastwood branch and every dish served was a favorite among everyone form the starters to the main dish, and down to the dessert trio. It was simply amazing!

Bodog Nation is hiring more than 100 employees for IT and Social Media gig
.

They have 3 offices in the Philippines (RCBC Plaza at Makati, The Enterprise Tower at Makati and Eton Centris at Quezon City) and global offices.

It's founded by Calvin Ayre, a billionaire who was at the cover of Forbes Magazine in 2006. Their main business is online gaming and they need support from the Philippines but the market is all abroad.

A celebrity who owns the posh and mega nightclubs at Resorts World Manila will become the brand ambassador. Guess who?

"Kainan na!" that's what my mom would normally shout everytime breakfast, lunch or dinner is all set on the "mesa" or the dining table.

The "mesa" has always been the center of everything in the house. That is the only part of the house, aside form the living room, where everyone in the family gather round to enjoy sumptuous meals almost everyday.

Mesa Filipino Moderne extends the dining table from home to a restaurant where Filipino food is also at its finest. Almost better than my mom's home-cooked meals. "Don't be jealous, mom!"

This actually made my day and made me think of the yesteryears when I was still an employer. It seem everyone of us has a problem or complaint with our boss, one way or another, that makes working comfortably quite difficult.

Maybe you encountered a boss that's really bossy, or one that really lacks the skills that makes you look like you deserve to be the boss.

However, regardless of his shortcomings or ego that's gone over the roof, you still have to work with him to accomplish the goals of your department or company. So just read below to at least see some suggestions on how to deal with a difficult boss.

Superbook Reimagined : Pilot Episode Garners High Ratings

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I want to share with you some good news! The first episode of the reimagined Superbook that was aired last Saturday at GMA placed #15 in Nielsen's National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM) Overnight Data! We were actually tied with Startalk (#14) which had the same share of viewers. The coverage of this measurement is 6:00am to 6:00pm.

We are really overjoyed by this result. I hope we can count on the fans to continue supporting our advocacy to have more positive TV programming for our kids and blessing them at the same time by learning valuable lessons.

Attached for your reference our official writeup on this wonderful news and poster to announce the second episodes (Superbook Reimagined on Saturday and Superbook Classic on Sunday) this coming weekend.

This kinda attracted my attention when a fellow bloggers made this comment below with regards to an article posted in the Wazzup Pilipinas FB group.

"I just hope someone rich in the movie industry invest in a Ramon Magsaysay movie. i can see the opening wherein a young Ramon is playing paper airplanes with a tubuhan kid (son of a poor family) in the tubuhan and as the little Ramon lifts his paper airplane, a real airplane shows up in the sky, then the title of the movie shows up. the opening is indicative of the climax wherein the old Ramon dies in the plane crash."
I must admit its a great thought and I will also support the same idea. We need more movies that depicts historical facts and real leaders that can be heroes unlike the popular fictitious superheroes we could only imagine to be real because of their uncanny and extraordinary powers.
