International Micro Village: Authorized Distributor of Double-Take Products in Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!
A tech launch of a new product line by International Micro Village, Inc. (IMVI) was held at Society Lounge of Atrium Makati last April 25, 2014 and featured the unveiling of Double-Take by Vision Solution.This new technology being offered boasts of affordable high availability, reliable disaster recovery and a migration with near-zero downtime.

Now that's great news for all systems administrators and IT managers out there who can't afford to down their servers and systems because the production will suffer a great deal. As a systems administrator by profession, our stakeholders will kill us (to exaggerate) if we keep them offline for so long.

If the products is what it says to be then its definitely a blessing to have to keep our users happy while we work at the background seamlessly without them ever noticing the downtime. This equates to happy individuals going about their work with very little worries.

With society’s growing concern about climate change, adapting a green lifestyle has been a growing trend over the years. In honor of Earth Month, the green movement has become more pronounced than ever, as more and more homeowners prefer products – from fashion to furniture – that are both environment-friendly and aesthetically pleasant.

For those who want to go organic but don’t know where to start, a leading manufacturing company offers a simple solution – put your environmental card on the table.

To celebrate Earth Month, CDC Manufacturing Corporation has recently unveiled an affordable “green” concept in tableware for the modern home under its Melawares line, dubbed as the “Bambooware” collection. Mirroring the company’s philosophy of reducing carbon footprint in their products, this new line boasts of a complete range of tableware products, and uses actual bamboo fibers from this wonder plant that belongs to the “grass” family, plus other organic compounds to make it 100% biodegradable.

“Nowadays, being environmentally conscious has become a passionate pursuit for many. However, a lot of people still have the incorrect notion that using sustainable materials mean difficult, boring and even pricey. Our new collection proves that saving the planet can be as simple as changing what you use in your everyday life with affordable yet stylish products,” explains CDC Manufacturing Corporation’s Marketing Manager, Chriselda Chua.

myKaffe Bakeshop: Your One Stop Sweet Shop in Caloocan

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What would you expect from a bakeshop located in a neighborhood that's only easily accessible to the residents and other business establishments nearby? We went there by taxi but one of our blogger friends had to commute because he had to go there on his own for missing our ride due to a faulty Internet connection (you know who's at fault). It's infront of a very popular 24 hour convenience store so you won't miss it.

Anyway, you'll be surprised of what we discovered almost hidden somewhere at Caloocan! Though at first you won't be impressed because there's not much eye-candy to see, I was very hopeful my viewpoint will change the moment they serve the food. Whoa! my hunch was correct! When they served the cute little Brazo de Mercedes cupcake, I was like ... "Wow!"

The beautifully whipped meringue frosting with the yellow-orange filling in the middle made the cupcake enticing. Though I was not too impressed with the taste, maybe because I was used to eating a long-time family favorite from another bakeshop, it was my first time to see one served as a cupcake. The great thing about myKaffe Bakeshop is that the hands-on owner can easily adjust her creations based on customer feedback. We've learned that she has a large kitchen filled with all the essentials to please a professional pastry chef. Now I am really envious!

Together with German curator Volker Albus—who previously curated the travelling exhibit Somewhat Different: Contemporary Design and the Power of Convention at Yuchengco Museum in 2012—IFA (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V.) presents New Olds: Design between Tradition and Innovation. Featuring 60 objects that explore the relationship between tradition and innovation in contemporary design, New Olds will be on view from May 9 to June 6, 2014 at Yuchengco Museum.

New Olds looks into how contemporary designers work with traditional elements, whether it is style, material, or craft. The show also explores the themes of material, construction, configuration, production, and traditional use. 45 designers and design teams from Germany, other European countries, and the US enter into an intensive dialogue at the exhibit.

Design has a short and highly successful history in the West. It quickly became a key feature of a collective understanding of culture, and is correspondingly appreciated and communicated. Today, design is gaining significance, and not just as a profession. Many of the design pieces that are being sold as fresh and innovative are actually derived from history, culture, and tradition, representing a new way of interpreting old forms. This exhibition looks at aspects of the “new” and the “old” in a range of objects and groups of objects, discusses differences and new combinations, presents trends in recycling and redesign, and looks at the transformation of design classics and traditional ways of using new materials.

After bagging numerous international crowns these past years, there is no doubt that the Filipina beauty is one of the most captivating in the world. This year, one of the biggest national pageants happening in the country today, is in search for young, lovely and talented Filipina who would want to be the next beauty queen. Miss Tourism World Philippines will soon be held in SM Mall of Asia Arena this June 2014.

Join and grab one of the 10 crowns and 10 major titles, aside from the Miss Tourism World International.

But what sets this contest apart is that Miss Tourism World Philippines 2014 is perhaps the first of its kind where winners will each be involved in actually performing socio, civic, economic and humanitarian activities in their hometowns. At the same time, winners have the opportunity to help promote tourism as Ambassadresses of Goodwill in their respective provinces/cities/municipalities.
