Heart or Mind

Image from Mitchebie Why is getting near you, a hard thing for me to do? Being near you, only makes me blue, that makes my heart, turning from you! Why couldn't the heart, tell what is true, if I really am, the right one for you? Emotions that aren't sure, keeps the feelings from being pure! Why can't I, control the intensity, of the love, that shouldn't be? Your appeal is always with me, that makes the heart, in good melody! Why is man's inspiration, has a lot of limitation? Minds without enough reason, lets the heart, rule the emotion! Background: 17Jul1999 @ 1030p, On confusions of a young mind, what should rule? Is it the heart or the mind? Poem inspired by a certain "Floralyn S."!

Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club

When I was given a ticket for the Pacquiao-Margarito fight shown at the Metrobar November last year, a "raffle" coupon of some sort was given to all the guests. Like the rest of the Customers who will be watching the said event, I also filled-up one raffle coupon. The prize at stake were "3 days and 2 nights complimentary hotel accommodation" or a "buffet dinner for two". One thing I noticed though on the raffle coupon was that there was no indication of a Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) permit number or any registration of sort. And since it was not only me who was filling-up the raffle coupon, I never gave enough attention to it and just thought that the raffle will be held inside the bar, either before or after watching the Pacquiao-Margarito fight -- which did not happen. Then a week after the said event, I already forgot about the raffle until somebody from Club Astoria Plaza called me, informing me that I won a complimentary gift certificat

Fast 5 - Movie Review

Last May 4, 2011 - I was able to watch a movie screening of the "Fast and the Furious 5: Rio Heist" during the TeleServ's Night-Out with the Bloggers event. Cinema 4 movie house of Gateway was packed with, well, obviously Bloggers. Familiar faces and even some of my runner-blogger mates were also present to check the speed of the cars tearing the Cinema screen. The movie was full not just with action, but also some humor and wit that made us stretch our facial muscles as we laugh. The environment was so comfortable, I almost feel like we are but one family inside the Cinema. We are indeed - Bloggers alike! So, just a quick review without going much into deeper details as I might be spoiling the story to those who have not yet seen the movie. Stars: Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner Vin Diesel as Dominic "Dom" Toretto Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto Gal Gadot as Gisele Harabo Dwayne Johnson as Marshal Luke Hobbs Elsa Pataky as Elena Neves Joaquim de

Spring Cleaning Day

Be part of the first public and private initiative for cleaning and sanitation, and join the Department of Health, Lysol and partner organizations as they celebrate Philippine Spring Cleaning Day on May 11, 2011. Read the following Press Release (received through e-mail from GeiserMaclang Marketing Communications Inc. ) for details: Five cities in Metro Manila will demonstrate how the country can save lives, time, and money, as they join the first-ever “Philippine Spring Cleaning Day (PSCD).” In its goal to push for cleaning and sanitation as one of the most effective ways to lower the country's disease burden, representatives from the Department of Health (DoH), UP-National Institutes of Health (UP-NIH), Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines (PIDSP), Reckitt Benckiser, Lysol, and several local government units are calling for better sanitation through the institution of the first Philippine Spring Cleaning Day. On May 11, there will be a simultaneous cleanu

Birth Certificate Correction Gone Wrong

Many people who were born during the time when there was only pen and typewriter to jot our records have had problems with their identities from their government documents, such as the birth certificate. This ranges from mis-spelled entries to incorrectly written entries (such as gender - a born baby boy was identified on the document as a female, or vice versa), and etc. You see, our ancestors mostly came from other nationalities as a result of Colonial occupations in our Country way back few hundred years ago. So most of the Filipinos still carry their Spanish origins of family names. But due to our naturally hard-tongue pronunciations (or is it just me?), how we pronounce some "foreign" words may not be spelled correctly, even if we spell the word letter-by-letter. I could even remember some of my cousins way back in our province spelled "apple" letter-by-letter as something like: "eh na may bontot, pe, pe, el, eh na pa-ekot"; for a "cat",
