Being Different Makes IV-Boyle Special

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Second Periodic Test is coming and the things that happened during our first quarter and the past weeks are now history. This article is not about the events in school which are so common like “Pistang Pinoy” and “Aerodance” and I would like to make you connect with my article because what we do in school is also unforgettable and sometimes unplanned which makes it special.

We treat our classmates like our siblings. They are our peers and we have to get along with each other. The bond between us can never be replaced because we are holding on to each other despite the challenges we are going to face throughout the school year.

During the first quarter of our school year, we have experienced things that are mostly unexpected yet these brought happiness and strengthen our friendship.

Just like Magnolia the memory is still fresh when the Reigning Carinderia Queen 2012 Ms. Luisa Matsushita of Chezta Eatery was hailed as winner.

Just like Miss Universe Pageant it is time to bid farewell and pass her crown to the next Carinderia Queen.

Who Will Be the Next Carinderia Queen?

The ultimate carinderia food trip of the year is all geared up and ready to satisfy our tummies and minds with an amazing line up of mouthwatering dishes at the Magnolia Fresh Chicken Carinderia Fiesta 2013 this October 11 and 12, 2013 at the World Trade Center.

One of the highpoints of the 2-day event is the search for the next Carinderia Queen and this is definitely not your cookie cutter kind of beauty pageant.

Beyond Beauty – Carinderia Queen 2013 Pageant is in line with Magnolia Fresh Chicken Carinderia Fiesta’s objective as an advocacy program - which is to encourage every kusinera and carinderia owner to take pride in their craft. To salute the service frontliners and our alternative nanay, ate, or tita during our breakfasts, lunches and dinners the hailed Carinderia Queen will serve as the ambassador for all the carinderia owners.

Sabi nga niya sa interview, dala lang daw ng kahirapan kaya niya nagawa. Shame on you, Mark Solis. Sana ikaw na lang gumawa o kumuha ng litrato - malay mo ikaw pa ang nanalo. Kaso iba ang ginawa mo. Ninakaw mo ang talino ng ibang tao. Pinaghirapan ng ibang tao, tapos kukunin mo lang ng basta-basta?

Kung pakikinggan mo ang sagot niya, walang remorse. Ibabalik ko "na lang " ang napanalunan ko. Leche!

If he has remorse, he could've said, "Ibabalik ko ang hindi akin at at tanggapin ko ang hatol sa mali kong ginawa. Sorry."

11 times he joined photo contests, he won 4 contest already. Different photos submitted in different occasions. All from flicker from different photographers.

I'm sure all his life, it's been a lie. The way he move, acts and what he showed specially after watching the video. His calmness and his acceptance speech was so define. I think this guy is sick.

Filipino Versus Japanese Culture

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Japan is often considered more "Western" in culture than other Asian countries. Compared to the Philippines, there are certainly a lot of similarities.

But Japan and the Philippines do have many cultural differences as well. Though no people can be generalized as a whole, and, like Philippines, culture can vary from region to region. Filipinos and Nihonjins have many differences in terms of culture, beliefs and practices.

As a Nihongo student, I cannot avoid comparing Japanese practices to ours. I do admire our culture, but I cannot help loving the Japanese culture. Here are some cultural comparisons.

Located within the scenic Hamilo Coast, Pico de Loro Cove offers residential condominiums, a hotel, and a beach and country club with the most extensive leisure and recreational amenities in Nasugbu, Batangas.

The entire development promotes a sustainable lifestyle, with low-impact structures situated between the sea and a lush mountain range.

The Residential Condos are made up of eight mid-rise buildings surrounding a four-hectare salt water lagoon. Spacious interiors and a wide array of unit sizes are available for you to choose from. Durable and weather-resistant materials allow for easy upkeep while round-the-clock security, reliable utilities, property maintenance, and other modern amenities give you the peace of mind you seek.

When I told Stanley Chi that my blog won as one of the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013, he immediately accepted my request for a congratulatory video. I told him I would like to use the video on my Thank You speech during the recognition at the 2nd Digital Influencers Marketing Summit.

But due to "avoidable" circumstances, the time allotted for the presentation of winners got cut short to a few minutes of speech. We were told we can just share the history of our blogs via a webinar that will be scheduled on Sunday, September 29 at around 5 pm.

Well, I actually already posted Stanley Chi's congratulatory message at the Wazzup Pilipinas Fan Page, but I decided to create a dedicated blog so that more people would see the videos. Why? Because the guy painstakingly made three versions of the congratulatory video for me.

I can relate very well with all the "panglalait" to Kiray Celis during the Star Magic Ball. Most of us have a false interpretation of what is beautiful brought about by years of brainwashing mostly influenced by all those beauty contests and modelling competitions.

The photo collage of Kiray Celis has gotten the attention of many netizens and have expressed their confirmation that Kiray has indeed turned out beautiful thanks to the efforts of beauty stylist Fanny Serrano and professional lensman MJ Suayan.

They were able to bring out the inner beauty of the former child star most often referred to as the younger version of Pokwang and Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao.

Below is the message posted on Fanny Serrano's Facebook account:
