It's More Fun In The Philippines

My thoughts on this

YES of course it is more fun to be here! We just have to believe that it is. Bunch of negative comments from the public on this campaign from questions of originality to colors and standing, but for me, why give a damn negative vibes? why don't we just help our country by making it into a real "reality".

Let's not focus on the LOGO or campaign, let's focus on the "WORDS" itself. It's more fun because our country has a lot to offer,  showcasing unique / authentic beauty of its land.  This is now our time as individual to move forward with action and with fun to show to the world that it is indeed more Fun to visit our country. And to make it more attractive, this begins to ourselves.

Look at this photo below, this is not in Rome or elsewhere, this is just located in the beautiful town of TAAL a two and a half hour drive away from the metro.

LET'S DISCOVER OUR OWN LAND

No matter what kind of logo/campaign we have, no matter  if it's WOW or KAY GANDA,  if we don't support this,  it wont work for a better Philippines.

The Best Paradise

December 31, 2011 at five in the afternoon, an encounter with the happy angels at Cottolengo Filipino in Rodriguez Rizal, a center for  the most poor, abandoned, neglected  and surrendered persons with disabilities.

For me, Cottolengo is a silent paradise for fellows like them, we are amazed by how these happy kids live here, though majority of them can't talk but you can feel and hear it from their eyes and happy faces what they want to express.

With Jessie

They all (100+) came from a very dark story, but through the help of the good people with big heart around them they were able to see the light they deserve and feel the equality in this world.

"They need our time" I want to do my share, one of these days I will visit them back, render my entire day playing with them and do what I can to make them feel more what is LIFE.

For those who want to help Cottolengo, you may contact the center at Telefax: 9423010

Seafood Island Cubao

Turn your ordinary dinner into a festive style dining with friends at Seafood Island in Araneta Center, Cubao.

As a hungry buddies, my friends and I hunted some restaurants that can fill our stomach with delicious and something unique in serving. We've decided to dine-in here at Seafood Island and try one of their boodle sets, the group agreed to get the "Kanyaman"  a mouthwatering  set of Tahong, bangus, Bagoong Rice, kangkong, Hipon, Talong, Okra and Lechong Kawali.

I've been here before, nothing much to say about the place aside from it's comfortable, accessible and unique. You don't have to spend more to go to a certain place that serves authentic seafood all you have to do is to go to a place that can satisfy your food trip.

 

As usual if the foods are great, what else do you expect?
