Last Saturday, we had a tree planting activity with Sha’s company and with Haribon Foundation for their project Road to 2020. It is actually interesting to learn that it is recommended not to use foreign tree species in reforestation because it won’t bring us the ecological benefits that we need. (more…)

A lot of people have been displaced by Ondoy. A lot of people had no food to eat while struggling to survive at the height of Ondoy. Although there are some who have received relief goods already, there are still a lot of areas that haven’t received relief goods. I admire United Nations for their World Food Programme initiative.

A donation of:

- $90 feeds 5 families for 2 weeks
- $180 feeds 10 families for 2 weeks

For me, everyday should be a day full of gratitude despite of the problems we encounter. Saying of thanks have evolved through out the years, from “Thank You” to a shorter “Thanks” to a much shorter “TY”, to the text-speak “Tnx”, to the LOL-cat speak inspired “Thx” and the list goes on.

And for us to be reminded that it is not only on the “National Thank You Day” that we should say thanks, Toblerone started the “National Thank You Day”, a day that should be full of sweetness like taking a bite of that luscious chocolate. (more…)

Last week, a silent protest was held at Baywalk. The protest was lead by Rocked Philippines and even though there were few who attended, I’m glad to be part of it. The tarps were shown in the photo above where used in the rally last Wednesday at Ayala Ave. (more…)

It was the night were I followed the hashtag on Twitter #conass because I knew they were up to no good passing HR 1109 in just one sitting. Thank you to caffeinesparks for being our eye there. Yesterday, RockEd Philippines held a silent protest at BayWalk. There weren’t a lot of people present there though but it’s a start. (more…)

It feels like that every time I go back to SM City North EDSA, there would be changes. Going to different parts of SM City North EDSA is like traveling through time. It’s like going back to high school days when you’re in the oldest part of SM. When you go to The Block or to the CyberZone, you’ll see the refreshing modern look. And now, here comes the Sky Garden, a combination of the now and nature which I find attractive in the midst of the busy EDSA. (more…)

After waiting for so long, it finally arrived!!! I created my own custom photo book using blurb.com because I like the way how I can customize the layouts of the pages and also the ability to add text. (more…)

UPDATE: Maxene Magalona posted her statement on Facebook regarding Ako Mismo Campaign. Please read it on her note. Thanks to Jim Ayson for the tip.

While I was watching the delayed telecast of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton’s fight, I saw the Ako Mismo ad on TV. It was actually surprising to see Ely Buendia there in the ad itself. I remember Gang Badoy of RockEd Philippines once wrote in an article that Ely Buendia has this certain charisma that every politician wished for. (more…)
