SM Definitely Has Everything

Now I can definitely say that SM has it all..They definitely provide their consumers with what they need at reasonable prices.

The SM Malls is big and very spacious. Which is something that I love about going there. It is a treasure trove of good finds! Most of the items for sale are affordable and of good quality. The clothes are in style and fashionably chic

One can never say that SM Malls are boring. You can never run out of things to do. There are cinemas, a bowling alley, a lot of arcades where the young and those that still they are young play video games. There are restaurants, bookstores, clothing shops, shoe stores and now it is a WI-FI Enable zone..

I am now in SM Manila testing the speed of the WI-FI connection.I can truly say that it is fast.No lags and waiting just log on and you are in cyberspace. Truly what they say is true the best things in life are free. If it's not free then it might as well be affordable. I tasted the food from Lydia's Lechon and it was yummy!!!! They have one of the best lechon's that I have ever tasted..Another amazing thing about them is that they are now online.. They can be found here

So basically, everything that you want and need . They can proudly say We’ve really got it all for you.

A Taxi Passenger's Worst Nightmare

Last August 20 between 5:30 to 6PM.I was on my way to Podium. It was traffic and it was in EDSA and so I assumed it was normal to get caught in a traffic jam.

When suddenly your PLDT Vehicle (ZBP 776) cuts us off and starts cursing the taxi driver.They follow us and harass the taxi of which I was in. And starts cursing the taxi driver AGAIN but with a louder voice. The windows were closed but I can hear them and as if It wasn't enough they stop their vehicle i nfront on the taxi get down.3 Men get out of the vehicle and 2 of them starts pounding the taxi my window included and demands the taxi driver to get down.A man pulls out a knife.I was appalled and shocked at their behavior to say the least.

I'm sure they would say that it was the taxi driver's fault. But I really think they should know better being educated and working for a prestigious company like PLDT. These people represent their company and they would do that to a taxi driver not even caring that there was a passenger.I'm sure that they will say that its not their fault.

I will tell it as I see it This was ego and power tripping to the highest level.
I maybe just a passenger and I can still feel the trauma up to now.
I even had to call my doctor because my palpitations was so bad I thought I
was going to have a heart attack.I'm scared to ride a taxi..I freak out when I
see a PLDT vehicle.

I would like to put on record the mental agony that I have undergone.
No one should have the go through the trauma that I went through.
I maybe just be a simple citizen but I too have a voice and this voice
would like to be heard and would not be kept silent

Asia's Titanic

First Pinoy documentary on NGC. Award-winning Filipino director Yam Laranas gives specific directions to his cameraman during the filming of a scaled replica of MV Doña Paz for the National Geographic Channel’s (NGC) documentary “Asia’s Titanic.” This is the first documentary produced by National Geographic Channel in collaboration with a Philippine film production under the NGCI-EDB Development Fund. “Asia’s Titanic,” which tells of the tragic sinking of MV Doña Paz just few days before Christmas of 1987, will premiere on NGC (Sky Cable Channel 41) on 25 August 2009, Tuesday, at 9 p.m

What's so sad about this whole thing is that it could have been prevented. Had they been strict in the implementationn of the rules this could have been avoided all together. There so much

finger pointing and blame on others but no one wanted to take responsibility for the tragedy.

This is a very good documentary that will give the viewers an insight on what really happened.

This is a must see because this is something that we hope would never happen again.

An Amazing Discovery

VMV Hypoallergenics Armada Sport 70: A water-resistant, PABA-free sunblock for thorough protection.

Description: This highly protective formula effectively blocks UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sunburn, hyperpigmentation, photo aging and even skin cancer. The silky, lightweight formulation creates an invisible ''second skin'' that stays protective even after time spent in the water. Non-comedogenic and ideal for all skin types. Free of fragrances and PABA.

Recommended Use: Shake well before use. Apply on face and body skin, carefully avoiding membranous areas of eyes and nostrils. For best results, apply 30 to 60 minutes prior to sun exposure, especially before highly active sports. We make great sunscreens but our greater love is skin: when outdoors, reapply every 2 hours. Practice sun avoidance, particularly from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Let me just say that this is not a paid post. I love this product!!!! I used it and I really didn't have a tan. No one would have known that I went to the beach. I really, really love this amazing product.I was also a big fan of Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 70 but I couldn't apply that to my face because it's painful when it reaches my eyes the effect of the saltwater and sunblock is bad. But with this one no pain all just pure fun.. Love this new product!!!

The Last Journey of Ninoy

I am going back to the Philippines
and if I have to go back to jail…
then so be it.
NINOY AQUINO




Before he left, sabi ko, “Ninoy can you tell
me? What possible scenarios there will be?
…The last thing he (Ninoy) said was “But
if they make a mistake and have me killed,
then that is the best thing that will happen
to me… I’ve always wanted to die for our
country.”
CORY AQUINO




It is only instinctive for a man to look for his peace.
And I debated with my mind.
And I debated with myself.
And I debated with my wife and my children.
Whether I should go back to the arena of conflict.
I felt that I’ve already earned my peace.
I have done my best.
I waited for 7 years and 7 months,
and the Filipino people did not react.
And they would even give me the impression
that they love their chain and slavery.
What can one man do, if the Filipino people love their slavery?
If the Filipino people have lost their voice and not say not to a
tyrant.
What can one man do?
I have no army
I have no following
I have no money
I only have my indomitable spirit



The main objective of this film is to pay tribute to the greatness
of the Filipino people through the emblematic power of Ninoy Aquino’s
life story.To preserve and protect the memory of Ninoy Aquino and his
place in history, as well as the significance of his martyrdom to
Philippine democracy.To address the growing indifference of all
Filipinos, most especially the youth, by making the life
of a modern hero and martyr vivid, moving and relevant to today.
And hopefully, to awaken the Ninoy in every Filipino.



Treatment that they used available news clips, videos and film
footage, photographs, interviews plus dramatizations or re-enactments
shot in Hi-Definition (HD) formatThe viewer will get to witness the
man more intimately --- his strengths and weaknesses,
his triumphs as well as his failures, his dreams and fears,
his simple joys as a husband and family man. As the story
follows the textured highlights of past and present,
the viewer is presented a tapestry of insights into
the man and martyr in particular, and about ourselves
in general.Using Ninoy Aquino’s journey back to the
Philippines from Boston as the narrative spine, we
inter-weave the past and the distant past, with every
stop in his homeward journey serving as the frame for
each episode.



There are things history books won’t tell you about the last journey of Ninoy…
…And these are things you should know, to continue the legacy of Ninoy.
From the days leading to his decision to return to Manila, backtrack to Ninoy’s roots as a brash and talented young man, forward to his long and arduous journey as a private family man and statesman.Through known and new records, plus valuable memories and insights from wife and ally, Cory,discover Ninoy’s truest ideals and deepest struggles, his indominatable spirit and faith, as seen through all his hardships and all hostilities he faced. Intertwined with revelations of grand conspiracies, secret conversations and clandestine meetings, know what truly led Ninoy to and what he hoped would come out of his last journey.

This is really a great movie that every Filipino should see. It brought tears to my eyes and made me proud to be a Filipino.



Ninoy Aquino’s death was a watershed in Philippine
politics. The cataclysmic events following his murder
have unleashed a powerful wave of change that has
gone beyond our borders, setting off people power
movements that have torn down walls and toppled
dictatorships in various parts of the world.
But the past 25 years since Ninoy Aquino’s death have
witnessed a creeping amnesia in the national psyche.
Ninoy Aquino’s legacy of courage, heroism and
commitment to democracy has slowly been dissipated
by the gradual erosion of our democratic institutions
and the weakening of our collective initiative for
change. The nation is experiencing the fading of
memories of the historic struggles that led to the
moment of Ninoy’s death.
There is a need to revive those memories and the
significance of the nation’s struggles and Ninoy’s
ultimate sacrifice that once awakened the greatness
in every Filipino.

Amazing New Information

I recently had a Dengue scare with Joshwa. His platelet went down and I all but panicked because I really thought It was dengue.Good thing that it was not Dengue. I really think that as moms we should our enemy so we can face it head on so because of that scare the mosquito is my enemy.

Here are some quick facts on Mosquitoes:

3000 species worldwide
Life stages in different environment
Only female bites
Vector of infectious diseases, e.g., dengue and malaria

Stimuli that can attract mosquitoes:

Mosquitoes use visual, thermal, and olfactory stimuli to locate a host.
Carbon dioxide released from breath serves as a long-range attractant
Lactic acid and ammonia serve as chemo-attractants. Ammonia in human sweat seems to be the most important chemo-attractant
Heat that come off our bodies and chemicals produced by bacteria serve as short-range attractants


Wouldn’t you want to add to your arsenal against mosquitoes?
Here are a few tips on how you can:
Keep your house “mosquito unfriendly”
Good solid waste management
Use long sleeves and pants
Use mosquito repellants
Use products that are proven to help prevent mosquito landing such as Downy Antibac.

Yes you read it right Downy Antibac:


According to research and it is being endorsed by The Philippine Association of Entomologists.

Downy AntiBac, the first Fabric Conditioner proven to help prevent mosquito landing on fabric!

Mosquito repellency tests using Downy Antibac were conducted in third party institutions in Japan, China, Thailand and the Philippines

Results showed 33% to 53% less incidence of mosquito landing on the fabric washed with Downy Antibac.

How does Downy Antibac help repel mosquitoes?

Human attracts mosquitoes because of:
Sweat/body odor
Carbon dioxide released from breath and skin
Skin temperature and moisture

Downy Antibac action
Antibacterial ingredient controls the growth of malodor causing germs and maintains fabric freshness
Fragrance technology provides long lasting freshness.

Last Note:When I was dating Philbert I used to tell him that he smelled so good.
I would always want to be near to smell him because he really smelled so good.
It was when we were newly married that i found out that he smelled so good because
he used Downy on his clothes.
