I’m addicted to GandaEverSoMuch!

SaNz — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:58:47 +0000

Here’s my entry for GandaEverSoMuch.com’s Week #3 Blogversary contest.

It was around year 2009 that I started using plurk again. I got registered around 2008 but didn’t really use it much. 2009 was the year I joined CDOBloggers.com and I also found new friends from CDO, Gensan, and Davao thru Plurk. In my timeline I came across ter Orman’s blog GandaEverSoMuch. First time I saw it I was like, wow, cool theme, the hands follow thru while scrolling down. Hehehe.

It was just after the MBS3 that I really got to follow and read thru the blog posts written in it as I really find them interesting and fun to read. The way of writing are mostly in a very natural and taray way which I really love. It’s not some of those too detailed and too boring way of writing articles, again I would have to say, it’s fun to read! I think the first blog post I read was about Kuya Avel’s journey to the top in blogging. I think It had a song pa. Or maybe it was Orman’s blog post about his moment with yummy Atty. Adel at MBS3? Either way, I read thru both of those articles some time ago.

I keep coming back to GandaEverSoMuch.com because I see things ang real. Mostly Orman’s personal happenings, may it be sad or happy. Some blogs relate to General Santos where Orman lives. I also get to know Orman’s life even sa malayo. There are things I can relate to, sometimes realizations, I remember I read thru one of Orman’s post about loving the job, and how to and not impress the boss. Overworking and stressing yourself isn’t really the answer. If you guys are interested to know more, may steps sya dun. I think it was a blog late December 2009 or January 2010.

All I can say is, if you still don’t read GandaEverSoMuch, hindi ka sikat! Joke. Follow nyo blog nya or better yet, Click this link to subscribe para dretso na sa email nyo at updated na updated na kayo.

More power sayo GandaEverSoMuch Orman! Happy Blogversary in 35days!

Hunter Ceiling Fans

SaNz — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:27:59 +0000

I think every one of us have dreams that we want to achieve. One of my dreams is to have a house for me and my family to live in. A nice concrete house with nice rooms for everyone, nice entertainment area, and fully furnished. I have so much detail in my mind but I would like to have each one in the family have a nice and cozy bed in the room with air condition or a fan. An entertainment room, a living room, and dining area. All of these places should have a ceiling fan.

I don’t know why but I’ve had this thing about ceiling fans, maybe because I don’t own one yet, and have not experienced having one my whole life, but I love the effect of it compared to a stand fan. As I was browsing the net for future house details, I came across this site that sells Hunter Ceiling Fans. They have this elegant designs crafted from the finest materials that looks like it will deliver exceptionally quiet air movement. I believe everything is a masterpiece of form and function from the leading brand in quality ceiling fans and accessories.

I personally love the Cortland 54” Hunter Ceiling Fan with Basque black finish and aged ebony blades. Also the Rainer 60” traditionally designed Hunter Ceiling Fan with amber bronze finish and honey oak fan blades. Hunter Ceiling Fans is on my list of things to buy if ever I get my dream house.

2-Year-Old Boy Smoking in Indonesia

SaNz — Fri, 28 May 2010 05:10:01 +0000

WTF is wrong with his parents??!! What if he throws a tantrum?! Kids learn from parents, whatever we say, they do cause they know nothing YET about anything that happens around. Parents shouldn’t have taught him. Poor kid, he’d die early. Story quoted below from Time News Feeds:

The two-year-old boy from Indonesia has a cigarette habit, one to the tune of 40 cigarettes a day. “‘He cries and throws tantrums when we don’t let him smoke. He’s addicted,” says father Mohammad to the Daily Mail. Mohammad allowed Ardi to start smoking at just 18 months.

According to statistics cited by the Daily Mail, nearly 3 percent of five to nine year olds in Indonesia are active smokers. Ardi, to his detriment, started prodigiously early.

I WANT this Alexa’s Angels Hugs and Kisses Necklace

SaNz — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:45:11 +0000

I’m a silver jewelry fan for a couple of reasons. I’m allergic with gold and I just love silver, period.

While I was browsing through my plurk timeline, I came across a friend’s blog link which featured a silver jewelry giveaway – Alexa’s Angels Hugs and Kisses Necklace and I am totally awed by it and their aim for their jewelries.

Alexa’s Angel’s is an inspirational jewelry company that is dedicated to inspiring people through their creatively crafted product line. They’re dedicated to creating, finding and supporting programs that benefit women. This company’s mission is to be a great example of how a socially responsible company can make a difference.

Aside from me wanting to wear the necklace, for the simple fact that it’s silver and i just love the design, I also would like to help advertise their company’s goal thru their products.

Hope I win it!

Where and when it all started

SaNz — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:11:22 +0000

These all happened last 8/19/2009 – We were all so caught up with the preparations for the MBS3 that we failed to notice that we still didn’t have much advertisements to local radio stations to invite Kagay-anon bloggers.

Since I knew a few DJ’s personally, I had to do something. I asked Papa Ardie of Hot106.3FM to give us a time slot and we’d document his event in exchange so he agreed. I relayed the good news to the fellow core group and true enough, our CDOBloggers President ChiQ Montes with Edward Ragpalla II was interviewed regarding the MBS3 event and had the chance to invite the Kagay-anon listeners tuning in the station.

Taza Coffee at around 12noon.

After the interview is where all the stress started. In exchange for that interview and continuous plugging, I would have to make an AVP for their event Tatak Environmentalist, One Shirt One Tree Project that was due in 2 days. I had no other way but to dose myself of brewed coffee and had gone back smoking. Edu, also known as Magman, was there for moral support. (thanks bai, if wala pako ka thank you). He documented that day, from that morning til evening. He too was stressed with me that he finished his cigarette pack in less than 2hrs. LOL. While I was working, he took photos of Rosario Strip.

Taza Coffee at around 9pm

I guess that’s about all it. So Magman, we now have an official date and place of where and when we started back smoking. LOLZ

Pik-Cup

SaNz — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:49:31 +0000

Young Entrepreneurs Vincent “Inting” L. Uy and Francis Merrill “Kirk” E. Escalante thought of having their own business for their future. Since both of them have the common hobby of eating, they thought of something affordable and convenient for all ages and thus PiK-Cup was born.

They started with just delivering to Metrobank where Inting’s older sister is working. But as time flew, they both lacked the inspiration to continue and Kirk had to go back to school. They eventually slowed down and stopped for about a year. This is when Inting’s mommy Victoria L. Uy stepped in the picture to revive what was started, cause she saw the potential of the business.

Pik-Cup now has a stall at Xavier University Canteen. You can also have the Pik-Cup’s delivered if ordered by bulk. So far, Pik-Cup has only 4 options to choose from: Pork Asado, Sisig, Chicken Stew, and Corned Tuna.

ALL FOR 35PHP PER CUP ONLY!

For more information visit their stall at XU Canteen or call/text:
