Noel: An OFW Christmas Story

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There is this interesting short video now circulating on YouTube that was produced by SM Global Pinoy. It is based around an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) which experiences Christmas on his computer. It is an OFW Christmas story for the Facebook generation.

What is shown in the video is an OFW communicating with his friends and family through Facebook and Skype on a Christmas eve. The video is purely on a computer monitor and what the OFW does on his computer (browse, chat, etc..) we as the viewer see.

Its a very interesting and unique video which embraces what a lot of Filipinos whom are an OFW or have an OFW loved one experience on a Christmas day. We hope you would like it also and share it through your social networks and area of influence.

Choosing veggies over meaties is maybe the hardest decision in a person’s life. It started when we were younger, when we were threathened by our parents that we won’t receive any dessert if we don’t eat the remaining vegetables on our plate. The question is ’why do we have to eat veggies?’ and ‘why is vegetable preferrable than meat?’

First of all, it is a common knowledge that vegetables are the edible plant or part that are either eaten cooked or raw. We intake these veggies not just because our parents say so but also they give us nutrients so we can be healthy and less prone to illness.

Another is that vegetables are always available wherever you are and cheaper than the meat you buy from the store. Vegetables regulate your systems. For example, detoxifying your body and boosting your immunity. Vegetables provide more range of nutrients than from meat. Vegetables contains fibers that improves our metabolism.

It will now mean .... An activity that is diverting and holds the attention of a person, animal or thing that is worth giving of our attention

Now may I ask you.

Famous Quotes of the Year 2013: May Hahabol Pa Ba?

Wazzup Pilipinas!They say we must be very careful with our words. Everything that we say, or whatever comes out from our mouths may reflect what is in our minds, and may haunt us for life.We can't get away with an excuse of temporary insanity unless we play the part of a fool. History will record and quote us, and we may face even a criminal offense because of it.

However, most of the time, people get away with it, or we just categorize it under the humor section and laugh it off like it was a terrible joke.

Not all of us are popular enough to have our words forever written and immortalized in the journals or history books but everyone hurt in the process will recall and judge us forever for what was spoken in the past.

"In the world of schizophrenia where imagination and reality are hard to define, Ed and Irene are about to discover the true meaning of love."

Schizophrenia is a condition that is really difficult to manage. Unless the patient accepts and wills herself to be cured, it may become a lifetime problem not only for the patient but also for her family. Sacrifices has to be made plus patience and understanding are required to be able to cope with a critical situation such as this.

I attended the premiere night screening of Mga Anino ng Kahapon, an entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2013 for the New Wave category. It was a story about how a certain individual and her family overcome the troubles and hardships that resulted due to the mental condition.

The movie stars Agot Isidro and TJ Trinidad as the lead actors, directed by Alvin Yapan, produced by Johnsons & Johnsons. The movie also stars Carlo Cruz, Upeng Galang Fernandez, Carl Alexander Acosta and Ku Aquino.

Francis Magalona was phenomenal during his time, and until now where his music continues to live within our memories. His music has become a part of history - the better part of rap and hip hop music where everyone was moved to the beat and the awesome lyrics.
One of the highly celebrated song of the Master Rapper was Kaleiscope World, a song that deals with diversity and with encouraging everyone to unite. It was early this year that the song was revived into one of the most remarkable videos of the year. Francis Magalona and his son, Elmo Magalona, appeared in one video shot 18 years apart.

Kaleidoscope World is now also the Philippines' first Hip Hop dance film, a love story inspired by the music of Francis Magalona. Starring Sef Cadayona and Yassi Pressman. A film Produced & Directed by Eliza Cornejo.
