A few of my favorite things #9
A few of my favorite things #9
1. SP Chocnut
 |
| Super sized Chocnut!!! |
2. Bread Talk Cakes
 |
| Bread Talk's gorgeous cakes in display. |
I think Bread Talk makes lovely cakes,just the right "frou" with the the right touch "kawaii" : 3 It's a nice alternative to Red Ribbon and Goldilocks cakes - para maiba naman. Hope to be able to try out all the flavors. Dear, dear, dear... : D
3. Buko Juice
 |
| Nothing beats ice cold fresh buko juice. |
Sure there are :sanitized" easy to drink buko juices available in tetra packs in supermarkets but buko straight from manong cart is what enjoy drinking best. All the nutrients and goodness of the buko, as well as added "flavorings" from the surroundings makes this the best thrist quencher available on the streets hands down.
What about you? What are you craving for now?
Post below, I'd love to hear about it.

A few of my favorite things #8: Keep Calm and Watch Movies
 |
| This is Di Dilights entry to the "Keep Calm and Watch Movies" blog contest. |
Growing up I would always look forward to movie nights with my family, my dad would set up his own makeshift movie theatre at home - complete with surround sound, projector screen, and popcorn. We would turn off all the lights, play the laserdisc player, and turn the sound way way up until the windows would tremble and shake at every explosion. Fun times!!!
When asked what movie made me fall in love with watching movies there was no one answer I can think of. And so I came up with my must watch list!
1. Jurassic Park
I'll never look at a glass of water the same ever again. |

2. Total Recall
The scene where his eyeballs bulge out and almost pop-out will make you speechless. |
| http://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/tumblr_m3td422tac1qc42hdo1_500.gif |
3. Fifth Element
This movie was out of this world and advanced for it's time, a visual eye candy feast for the senses. It's comedy will make you laught till your sides hurt and the action keeps you on the edge of your seat. |
| http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8k6w6iGnR1rrpsjuo1_500.gif |
4. Men In Black
A movie to remember, unless you've been flashed by the shiny light. |
| http://38.media.tumblr.com/22f30585bfa51bac2bbec0eca4e3b21f/tumblr_mw89qgCLG61re7silo1_250.gif |
6. Mrs. Doubtfire
Getting hot flashes just got a new definition. |
| http://i.imgur.com/zFPRxZM.gif |
But the one that sold me to watching movies would definitely have to be
7. Back to the Future
A memorable, feel good movie! |

today my favorite would be...
8. Thor!!!
 |
| Sorry Ic! :p (pic from HS Story) |
Now, I watch movies with my hubby, he is an avid movie watcher. He watches to destress after a long work
day at work and to relax on weekends. He's the guy who would always initiate a movie night and invite a group of people to watch, esp. when there was a new film out. Scheduling these trips would usually take a bit of effort and coordinating but it's well worth the effort.
Before we would usually call up the cinema, check the newspapers, or go online to check movie schedules. These tools helped us check which theater we should head out to in order to get home as early as possible, as we usually had to carpool home.

| GMovies App |

Good to be back!
I'm back!
Sorry for being away for so long, I've had major life events happen this last year. I was proposed to, engaged, prenup pictures, planned for the wedding, tied the knot, went on a honeymoon, and fixed up our own pad.
Exciting, exciting things and now I am a "Mrs." I'll give you time to let that sink in, as I'm still getting used to it.
I'll be posting soon! So keep in touch.
See ya around ^^,

How you can help: Typhoon Yolanda Relief
In light of the devastation that Typhoon Yolanda has left in the Visayas I urge everyone to pray for the people and situation there. Give what you can and offer what you can. Now is the time to act and to help. I am sure that we will be able to rise up and move forward from this with God's mercy and grace!
Here below are some ways you can help.
(Updated as of November 12, 2013)
Philippine Airlines will start the free airlifting of critical supplies and relief goods for victims of typhoon Yolanda in the hardest hit areas of the Visayas region following the resumption of operations of some of the affected airports.
The PAL Humanitarian Cargo Grant, which is open to government agencies, SEC-registered foundations, non-profit and charitable organizations will cover the following necessities: medicines, medical supplies, hygiene products; toiletries such as new underwear, and ready-to-eat products such as dried fish and dried fruits, which cannot be readily sourced in the affected areas.
To help ensure the efficient processing and delivery of goods, PAL said that only donors under the said categories, duly-registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be eligible to avail of the grant.
To maximize cargo space for these critical necessities, the grant will not include products that are either already distributed by the local government units or available near the calamity-stricken areas. These include canned goods such as sardines, noodles, and bottled water.
PAL will fly the goods on a space availability basis.
Donors only need to contact the PAL Foundation at telephone numbers (02) 851-2980 or (02) 8526090 (telefax) or email palfoundation@pal.com.ph and provide their name, the contact information of the consignee, and a list of the contents of the shipment.
The PAL Foundation will then contact the donors to inform them whether their shipments are eligible for free airlift.
IT'S TIME TO BE OF GREAT HELP!
With the urgent need for food and other products in the disaster areas, we would like to announce a 50+10 VitaMeal matching donation program with immediate effect until December 31, 2013.
For every 50 bags of VitaMeal, our company in cooperation with Nourish The Children Foundation & Nu Skin's Force For Good Mission will match it with 10 bags. As you read this, we are already sending some Vitameal products which we have on hand. Food is most needed in the disaster-stricken areas so we will be needing all the help we can get. We are in a business to be a FORCE FOR GOOD, we live by this commitment.
FYI: Vitameal is a FDA approved combination of rice & lentil. It provides calories and protein with 25 essential vitamins and minerals. It boosts immune system and prevents diseases from spreading.
Godbless! Basta't sama-sama, kayang kaya! Thank you!
Should you wish to donate, 1 bag of Vitameal can feed 30-50 people, contact Angelene Ong at 09224031373 if you wish to help!
