Aling Marias Garden Resort

Looking for a place you could rent to have some fun? Well I guess there's one good place I could recommend.

My teammates at work had some great time at Aling Marias Garden Resort with so many various reason.

1. The Place - though the place is quite small it is perfect for a swimming party and videoke party as they offer videoke and a swimming pool and a jacussi where you could gather up and chat while you sip that wine or brandy. Since the place is small for a resort it is easier for them to maintain cleanliness and neatness of the place. So I can gaurantee they passed the criteria for cleanliness...

2. The Pool - well I had a good time swimming on their pool. I just cant resist it put I spent the best time swimming. Not too shallow but not so deep.

3. The Rooms - they only have 2 little cute corner rooms. Its just good for 2 person per room. The rooms are definitely clean. Airconditioning unit is OK, and definitely privacy is superb.

4. The Staff - I must say theu are very accomodating to our needs

A Beautiful Wedding of My Friend

Wedding is the most extravagant, time consuming and yet the most beautiful celebration a couple will be celebrating. It is a celebration of two people loving and caring each other. It is a public announcement of their unending and unparalleled love for each other.

Last January, a friend of mine had her moment of her life. Rica marries his knight of shining armor. Looking at her wedding pictures, she is stunningly beautiful. Everything is magnificent, the church decoration made her the most beautiful walking down the aisles. The flowers adorned and captivated her elegant wedding gown. She perfectly glows as she walks the red carpet.

The reception is stunningly beautiful too. Everything was laid out, the details are perfectly well planned. The lights made a statement and created a story of the whole event.

However, the preparation is long and tedious and definitely drains your strength. To plan for your wedding here are some tips to have your wedding as elegant as Rica’s wedding day.

1.       Plan and set your date a year in advance. It will give you the whole year to plan and prepare for the big day! It will give you an ample amount of time to buy everything. If you still don’t have the exact date and time make sure that you at least have as to what time or season of the year you want to get marry or even just the month.

2.       Know your Budget. After setting up the date of your wedding the next best thing to do of course is to know your budget. Start first with the budget that both of you have. Do not expect for your siblings and your parents to shell out some money for your wedding day. It is always advisable to at least make sure both (couples) have a savings in place that you can start working on. How much are you both willing to spend for the church decorations, dress, giveaways, venue, and other stuff that you want to have in your wedding day.

3.       Hire your Wedding Planner. If you can afford a wedding planner, it will be a perfect idea. Remember though that a wedding planner will only be there to supervise and plan with you as you go along the whole process of preparation. They will only execute your idea and your plan. You should be the one telling them how your wedding would look like. If a wedding planner insists on his or her designs and idea FIRE YOUR WEDDING PLANNER.

4.       Create a calendar of activities. You should list down all the things that you need to do in getting married. That is why you need a wedding a planner since they will be the one to help you figure out all the things that you need to accomplish. You should work with the wedding planner from the very beginning to lay down your calendar of activities. Here are some of the things you shouldn’t miss: Wedding attire for the whole entourage (fitting, buying, making final adjustment nearer the event), Getting all the documents needed, attending all seminars needed, floral designs, food tasting, scouting for reception, and the list goes.

It’s the preparation that makes your wedding as beautiful as it could be. The planning and sorting out of ideas can make a great deal at the day of your wedding day.

Going back to my friend’s wedding, I felt too bad that I didn’t make it to the celebration. I am dying to see how gorgeous she will be in her wedding gown adorned by the firmness of her Knight and Shinning Armor Gerry. So I ended up stalking on her facebook posts of her wedding day as people are tagging her on the photos they took on her wedding day.

With of course Rica's permission here are some of her photos.

J Events made Rica's wedding design into reality. 

"A wedding planner who listens to a client and making their dream wedding to reality is the best wedding planner!"

Reflection on Faith

In my personal view faith stands on something we believe in. Somehow this is what pushes us to do better, to do well and to be a better person. I have faith in God as my Lord and Savior as my redeemer and my only way towards salvation.

Despite circumstances, Faith is the only thing that keeps me going. My recent story will just be the same old story of everyone else. My life story is so ordinary that everyone may be experiencing and or has experienced in one way or the other.

Just recently, I lost everything that I have been working for the past decades or so. I planned everything according to my will and everything was running smoothly. Until one day, someone came in and started breaking every foundation that I have built. Masked with friendly gestures then turned into a personified monster from the underworld. I was caught off guard. Then every foundation started to break so easily. These people came like a strongest magnitude of an earthquake. Then left me with almost nothing.

The career that I had been holding on has gone astray and I became a dog without a master. Then I realized, after all these long journey that I had been doing there was one thing I forgot. The FAITH to my creator was set aside. It was this missing link I suppose that when a quake has come the foundation I built gets shattered that easy.

That was my missing link. That was the most important part that I had missed. The self-centeredness has consumed me. Anger has changed my attitude. I used to be so positive and vibrant and because of that anger from within me it has changed me to become meaner each day. God has a way of making us realize the things we miss.

One Sunday when I went to church, the pastor started talking about Faith not just a Faith but an audacious faith. He was talking about the story of Zelophehad’s daughter. It made me realize that their story is amazing displaying the faith they had for God.

Here’s their story as I narrate it with my personal experience and thoughts.

Long time ago in the Old Testament, where the culture is strongly patriarchal Zelophehad died along the way on their journey to the promise land. Zelophehad died without no son. So all his belongings including a land will be given not to his daughters but to his brothers living his daughter without any means of livelihood.

Zelophehad’s daughter, Mahlah, Noah, Milcah and Tirzah knew they had inheritance they knew they have a good God. These ladies, hold on to GOD’s promise. They also knew they don’t have a voice because in Hebrew in the olden times, inheritance are to be given to the sons from their deceased father. They knew that if they will make a stand they would have to stand before Moses, Eleazar the priest and chiefs of the congregation.

Because Zelophehad’s daughter had an audacious faith towards GOD, they would make a stand and appeal in their hearts to give them the inheritance they should receive from their deceased father Zelophehad.

I then realized, I didn’t had faith from GOD that he can do all things. I knew God can move mountains but merely knowing is definitely useless if you don’t have the faith that GOD indeed can move mountains for us. Knowledge is just a tool for us to survive, for us to use it to become a better servant to our creator. It shouldn’t be the definition of what we can do but rather it is a definition that GOD gave us knowledge to function better according to his will. All we need to do is have faith. It is that FAITH that we have in our heart that will guide us through the decisions we make or the words we utter.

With Zelophehad’s daughter and their argument, Moses asks God to make the decision.

In real life, let’s be like Moses. When faced in a challenging situation we should sit back for a while and ask God’s guidance. We can never go wrong if it is the will of the Lord. Remember, the decision you make may somehow impact someone else’s life. Should Moses acted upon the Law of the Land then no matter what the Zelophehad sister would do will definitely

The story of the Zelophehad daughters and their faith is found in the bible in the book of Numbers Chapter 27 verses 1 to 7.

Each day as we pursue our daily task we are given decisions to make. It is always best to have that Faith burning just like the daughters of Zelophehad who always had their faith in them and in those desperate situation God stood with them. Their story is a biblical testament that with intense faith that we have for as long as we fuel it and keep it burning each day, then God will always be there too with us battling 90% of our battle.

To maximize your Panagbenga experience here are some few tips and guidelines:

1. Book your hotels now. Most of the hotels for sure is fully book by now. An alternative is a transient house. Most affordable transient houses are located at Teachers Camp, Trancoville, Pacdal, near Lourdes Groto. I suggest you search the internet for affordable transient houses. Click here for Transient Houses 

2. Dont bring your car. Having a car during the Festival is very inconvenient since parking spaces are congested. It is better to take a bus going to Baguio and take public transportation like jeepney and taxi when roaming around Baguio or walk.

3. Make sure you throw your garbage at the proper bin. As the city street sweepers cant clean the whole parks because there are tons of people and garbages to collect.

4. Book your bus ticket in advance (going and coming back to Manila) to avoid delays and book it as early as January.

5. Smokers can only smoke at smoking areas.

6. You can also bring a tent and set it up at BURNHAM PARK. In case you cant find a place to stay.

7. February is one of the coldest month in Baguio so bring your thickest jacket and bonnets.

Night Market in Cavite

A newly opened mall in Cavite finaly took the courage to have its own version of a night market where food is simply everywhere. Food Porn at its finest in a Molino Cavite as a food addict like me can simply pick and dine.

All Home, a newly openned mall along Daang Hari going to Alabang welcome the idea of "Bancheto" just like the one you find in Taguig where food enthusiast can finally find a place of good food in one place at night.

WHAT ARE THE PROS?

1. Convenient for owls like me as I am most of the time asleep during the day time and wide awake at night (due to the nature of my job).

2. The management is very particular to its cleanliness which is a good thing.

3. Stall owners that I have spoken to are really friendly and accomodating which is a plus for them since they are in food and hospitality business.

WHAT ARE THE NOT SO GOOD SIDE?

1. Centralized CASHIERING POLICY is really inconvenient. A customer would need to go around the stalls which is a little lengthy pick the food they want and then get a reciept and then go all the way to the entrance to pay only to find out that the line is terrible long. After paying a customer would need to go back to a stall to surrender the food stab and claim the food. I think the organizers would have to make sure that the stalls owner will pay their dues thats why they'd have to do it. It is time consuming. Let the stall owners pay a rent instead of having a centralized cashier.

2. Scarcity of tables is also a problem. After paying for the food and waiting for it to be cooked you'd have to wait for a table or just go at a sidewalk to eat.

3. Cashiers and the rest of the staff need to be trained in handling customer. The cashiers dont smile and really snobbish. They are not also very helpful.

4. Price. Most stalls there doesnt fit the price. Only the stalls mentioned below fits the price. The rest I would suggest you buy somewhere else.

5. Overall I give them a 2 stars.

WHO WINS MY TASTE BUDS?

1. BRIBS (BABY BACK RIBS IN BBQ SAUCE) is a must try! I love the tenderness of the meat. I also love the Barbecue Sauce. The meat is subtle easy to chew and restaurant quality. The price is definitely friendly considering the quality of the meat they serve. The saleslady is also very much accomodating and really friendly and very much accomodating. She has the understanding of what good customer service is. They have restaurants located at A. Bonifacio, Prinza, Gen. Trias, 4107 Cavite.

2. VICTORIA'S specializes in Burgers and Sausages. I tried their Bacon Cheese Burgers and I must say I am at AWE. I simply just love thier burgers. The burger patty definitely is a win for me. Also their mayo is deliciously awesome! I love it. I hate mayo but they are able to blend well in the burger patty. Its juicy and definitely mind blowing. I just wish though that they'd have a thicker patty. The price is also very much friendly.

So far this are the only food stalls that passed my taste buds... I will update more if if there's more stalls that passes my taste buds.

Tips on what not to buy? All Mexican type of food, cakes, and some of the barbecue stalls. They are terrible. The taste doesnt match the price.

ALDUB the Philippine's Newest Love Team Sensation

The journey continues with Maine Mendoza the Philippines DubSmash Queen and Eat Bulaga's Hearthrob Bae Alden Richards as they continue to rock the the NOON TIME Slot with tremendous support from their fan base worldwide.

Just last Saturday, the love team fan base called ALDUB NATION rock twitter world with a Phenomenal record breaking 5.8 Million tweets in less than 24 hrs.

ALDUB Nation go gaga when finally Alden and YAYA DUB (Maine Mendoza's Character) finally see each other after their performance in BULAGA PA MORE WILD CARD Edition.

Alden Richards in his statement in a recent article published by PEP.PH praises ALDUB Nation for making and KALYESERYE's success and currently making History. When asked about his feeling on their first meeting he said "Ang sarap ng feeling (It feels good)"

Due to the success of this accidental love team, they here hailed as 5TH EDUKCIRCLE BEST CELEBRITY LOVE TEAM. Alden's Self Titled Album soon to be released this October yet the cover song initially released in itunes is currently NUMBER 1 in iTunes.

Here's the reason heart breaking most talked episode last Friday (September 5, 2015)

Also, it is good to note that the whole cast of Eat Bulaga's KALYE SERYE has done their best and it is notable that their acting skills definitely is beyond comparable. Without each of them the KALYE SERYE definitely won't rock the rating. Last Friday, it is noted that their ratings sky rocketed to 39.5% of viewership.

I would like to specially commend Wally Bayola for portraying LOLA NIDORA's character as the best! He has shown by far his flexibility in acting. Wally's sudden switch from heavy drama to comical stunts. All praise to him.

The touching episode that made everyone cry with Yaya Dub and Alden's first meeting.

The said episode also made a stunning front cover story in one of the countries leading newspaper The Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Tweet Counts as of September 5, 2015 at 7:30 PM

ALDUB NATION further showed their support in capturing the memories of that heart breaking scene through their cartooning skills. Here are some of them:

The Back Story

Prior to the Saturday Episode, Lola Nidora gave condition that YAYA DUB can only compete if the conditions are met. One, the Rogelio's (Lola Nidora's Body Guard). Two, they can't claim their prices should anyone of them wins. They will use the price to help one of the SUGOD BAHAY winner. Three, Alden and YAYA DUB are forbidden to see each other.

Alden and Yaya Dub, promised and had a pinky swear with LOLA NIDORA.

Then last Saturday, both Alden and Yaya Dub had their beautiful performance. Alden went first with a bursting action packed dance rendition. Then Yaya Dub comes next with her beautiful fairy tale drama story. After Yaya's performance, she is trying to look for Alden on the back stage is waiving at YAYA but she is not seeing him.

Yaya then ran at the backstage while Alden ran at the stage. They were having the hard time meeting each other. Until, they finally met. There was a spark in their eyes. Wide smiles and definitely a rushing roller coaster emotions.

When their about to meet, a piece of wood dropped to block each other from holding each other. Lola Nidora came screaming at the top of her voice.

According to Lola, she was just testing them and she was really really disappointed. According to her, it wasn't yet time that her trust with them was shattered thus how could they be trusted when a simple promise both Alden and Yaya could not keep.

Here's the full transcript of LOLA NIDORA's statement:

"Ang pagtupad sa pangako at ang pagsunod ng totoo. Ang binitawang salita ay hindi dapat isawalang bahala. Dapat ang katumbas neto ay ang pagtitiwala ko sa inyo, Alden... Yaya Dub..."

"Paano pa ako magtitiwala sa inyo kung sa isang simpleng pangako ay hindi nyo kayang matupad."

"Ganyan kayo! Mapusok! Ang gusto nyong masunod ay ang gusto nyo! Pag pinagbibigyan kayo umaabuso kayo; pag pinigilan naman nagrereklamo! Ano bang gusto nyo? Anong gusto nyo!"

"Papunta pa lang kayo pabalik na ako. Alam ko na ang pwedeng mangyari sa inyo kung magiging mapusok kayo. Kung puso lang ang paiiralin nyo walang mangyayari. PWede namang gamitin ang puso. Pero wag kalimutan ang isip; ang utak! Wag puro tibok ng puso! Kaya nga tayo binigyan ng utak para gamitin. Ano yan hindi nyo gagamitin? Hoy! Mapapanis yan!"

"Nasa huli ang pagsisi. Alam nyo inaayo ko lang kayo. Balang araw ay maiintindihan nyo ako kung bakit ginagawa ko to."

"ALDUB! Mahalaga ang pagtitiwala hindi yan nababayaran ng salapi. Sinusubukan ko lang kayo!"

"I am very disappointed. Very disappointed!"

"Ok na sana Alden! Yaya!"

"Ngayon nagkita na kayo. Masaya na kayo? Yan ang gusto nyo di ba?"

"Ang tunay na pagibig, kahit hindi kayo magkapiling; nararamdaman! Ang tunay na pagibig, kahit hindi nagkikita pinapahalagahan at iniisip ang isa't isa! Iniisip ang kabutihan! At hinihintay ang TAMANG PANAHON!"

"Sinira nyo ang tiwala ko!"

(Music playing)

"Alden! Naisip ko na yan! Naisip ko na yan! Nasa akin ang blueprint ng building na eto! I know every exit and entrance of this building! YOU CANNOT FOOL ME!"

"Yaya! Bakit ka sumuway sa akin! Hindi ba ang turo ko sayo, dapat lagi kang maging masunurin!"

Pero naiintindihan ko eto! Pero sana naghintay kayo!"
