Why you should be happy when people left you in 2013

Image
Say Goodbye to the old year as we welcome 2014. We met different people in our lives throughout the year, some we thought can stay longer but other chooses to go to the other destination and ignore you completely without any reasons. But seriously, you should be glad why they left you. 1. You can do things that you wanted based on your own perspective. Negative people like them will always contradict your decisions. 2. Learn more opportunities rather than believing with them. You can explore different activities in 2014 and you can still meet new people who share the same passion whether in writing, travel, movies, etc. 3. You will be more independent. You don't need to wait for them to plan for your next weekend hangout. You can freely go out with other friends who are still there for you. 4. No more disappointments, social media wars, etc - Start blocking people who you do not want to follow you in 2014. Rant as much as you wanted but it will be more easier if you unfollow and le

Celebrating the true essence of Christmas

Image
This is the season when all of us celebrate the birth of Christ the King - Jesus. So what is the true meaning of Christmas to each and everyone? Some answered it is the time of giving and forgiving, a time of celebrating oneness with your loved ones and when you share your spirit of love to one another. That is right. Christmas is not just about material things. We should have reflect and thank God for all the blessings we have received throught the year (specially the Christmas bonus, lol). Let us encourage to love God and help others who are in need. Christmas, must be remembered its true spirit of giving and sharing. Like the three wise men did when Jesus was born. We have planned so many details throughout the year but the most important thing to remember is to be thankful that we are still celebrating Christmas on earth. But also it applies this five rules to be happy in order to fulfill the true meaning of Christmas 1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive. 2. Free your mind from

Cinemajam - Philippines' first outdoor music and movie festival

You don't have to wait for a 'town fiesta' to watch your favorite local artists or waiting for a giant screen installed outside your home. I really hope that there will be more outdoor activities that will generally promote music and movies in one day! The event was held in Circuit Event Grounds in Makati last November 30. The place is really huge and ideal for outdoor events like this. I first visited this place during Caracol Festival and I was surprised that the venue is very accessible to everyone (both public and private transportation). Guests were able to enjoy different outdoor activities like skateboarding, soccer, American football, basketball, wall climbing, kite flying and bunjee jumping courtesy of Crizal Transitions distributed exclusively by Essilor Philippines. Patronizing our own local music featuring Gracenote, Moonstar 88, Itchyworms, Callalily and Bamboo played the crowd's favorite music ended by a festive music treat set by DJ Ace Ramos. I really w

Gadget Review: Powerocksmedia Magicstick @powerocksusa

Image
[caption id="attachment_8592" align="aligncenter" width="384"] Unboxing![/caption] I went out of town last weekend and good thing that I brought this Magicstick so I'm ready if ever my Samsung S4's battery run out. It's my first time to travel outside the city via Amtrak and took us 4 hours to reach our destination (Alton, IL). Magistick is very handy, its compact & stylish color that is easy to carry with you while you're on the go. I don't have a spare battery on my Samsung S4 so this is the best option to bring a power battery charger. Also, my Mom tried it on her new iPhone5S and it's cool that it charges so fast. [caption id="attachment_8593" align="aligncenter" width="384"] On our way to Alton, IL via Amtrak[/caption] This amazing Magicstick has a color coding light signals to determine the charge status.

Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios in Macau

Image
This is one of the most exciting event this year after Yolanda tragedy. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao dedicated this fight for his fellow Filipinos and victims of the said killer typhoon. Few days ago, I saw a 'news confrontation' of the boxers' coaches, and tension rises... [caption id="attachment_8514" align="aligncenter" width="448"] I don't have a photo with Manny but here's a collectible :)[/caption] According to Freddie Roach, Manny trained so well and his intensity to fight is really high. I've read that this is his first major international fight to be held in Macau (Sand's Venetian) which is one of the most famous gambling destination in Asia. Since the venue is very near in the Philippines, I guess many celebrities and personalities are now in Macau to watch this exciting Pacman bout even former England soccer star David Beckman (saw it in the news yesterday) is present to support Manny!

The need of a mobile device charger

Image
We love to accessorize our gadgets with new cases, screen protectors and pouches but let's not forget that we should also carry a mobile device charger like a powerbank or any external battery that you can charge with a usb cable and get a power source from it (and recharge the battery to your laptop). Why you need one? It's a must for traveling people (like me), students and anyone who needs extra battery power in case of emergency. These mobile power banks can be your savior, as it charges your phone anywhere you go. Also it charges digital cameras, MP4 players, and a lot more. So you will not spend a lot of money to buy separate batteries for each devices. Where to buy? Here's a website wherein you can shop ( http://powerocksmedia.com/ ) and get your mobile power charger at a very affordable cost. These items are categorized according to any kind of device. Simply scroll down for additional option and search according to its type, size, power and battery capacity. Pow

Conquering my fear of heights at Willis (Sears) Tower in Chicago

Image
Acrophobia according to Wikipedia is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. Yes, I am fear of space and motion that's why I hate going up from a high place or looking down. I get easily tripped when getting down long stairs that's why I hate riding MRTs or taking the stairs. The last time I joined this tree planting project in Antipolo (Philippines), my knees were shaking while we walked through the side mountains. [caption id="attachment_8463" align="aligncenter" width="384"] Hong Kong 2009[/caption] I recalled my adventure last time at Victoria Peak in HongKong (in 2009, I was too scared riding the tram and the same thing happened when I rode the cable car going to Ngong Ping in Lantau (though Sentosa's cable car trip in Singapore is shorter).

Tumblr is so Disappointing! @tumblr

Image
I inquire about this certain blog that circulated around the network and ask for assistance from Tumblr. The post (you have already seen it, i guess) are too arrogant. Stealing someone else's photos and making fun of them. Then, some familiar faces (though the poster blurred it) were posted captioning it to make it more funny. So, this is the cyberworld. Grab someone else's photos and make fun of them....After that, you and your blog will become famous because you have insulted someone you didn't even know. I guess my only recommendation for you victims is to write to Tumblr and air your sentiments (abuse@tumblr.com). And, set your social network into PRIVATE OR FRIENDS ONLY. If you would like to show off, then, it's up to you :) I would better read some interesting articles rather than laughing on someone else's. Sigh. CYBER BULLYING AT ITS BEST, THANK YOU TUMBLR FOR ALLOWING IT PS: THIS IS JUST MY TWO CENTS. GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Sometimes, we bloggers become obsessed on some privileges we have experienced but from my point of view, you still have to learn (in a professional way) lik
