The Fresh and Clean, Feel-Good Perfume

  For the past months, everyone was worried about how they can protect themselves from the pandemic. As early as March, there was already a shortage of face masks, alcohol, and disinfectant solutions. And I have to admit that I was sort of relieved that I was able to stock several boxes of face masks as soon as Taal Volcano erupted in January and that I have always stored a few bottles of alcohol because I use them to clean our floor. It has been a habit of mine to make sure that I clean them with alcohol and this has carried out even when I am in the hospital taking care of my mommy. It is not just the scent but the assurance that you keep yourself and your family safe.   We have all been devastated by the magnitude of the effects of COVID19 on all of us. Fortunately, being Filipinos, we have always been resilient and creative even at the lowest points in our lives. I am referring to the latest product of Acquiasuisse Parfums . In the midst of the pandemic, they have come up w

Satiate Your Cravings With Go Grill Samgyupsal

  The pandemic has turned a lot of Pinoys into Kdrama-enthusiasts. And who can blame them? There was nothing else they can do at home other than enjoy the company with the whole family and take advantage of all the Korean dramas that are available through Netflix and other movie streaming sites. It’s funny how I see a lot of people on Facebook talking about CLOY. Who is CLOY? And soon I realized it was “Crash Landing On You”. I am not a huge fan of KDramas, but I have seen quite a few.   The love for these Koreanovela of Pinoys does not stop there. You may have noticed that about more two years ago, a lot of samgyupsal-themed restaurants mushroomed all over the city. And regardless of how long the customers have to wait in line, they would patiently wait for their turn just to be able to savor samgyupsal with their families and friends. My family have also experienced this and I think the cost of eating at any of these restaurants are worth the money simply because all of my kids

A Day In A Quarantined Life

The enhanced community quarantine imposed by the government is supposed to end by the 12 th of this month. Yet, the number of COVID19 cases continue to escalate. And so, extending it for another two weeks has its advantage and disadvantage. Unfortunately, since the Philippines is not a country like Singapore, most of us see it as a loss on our end because of failing to earn for the family. However, on the bright side, being at home may just be the best way to flatten the curve. It is sad, however, that while information about the benefits of staying at home and keeping a distance from others while in public is a sure way of preventing further spread of the disease, still a lot of people see it from a different light. Instead of reaching out to others and provide help in any form, they continue babbling nonsense online which really doesn’t do any good. On my end, all I want is for this nightmare to end so we can all get back to our normal lives. Indeed, it has taken

The Unwelcomed Visitor

By the start of 2020, the Philippines have been plagued with various issues. From the eruption of the Taal Volcano, the never-ending talk about the franchise renewal of ABS CBN, and the worst, the COVID 19 threat which has affected thousands of lives . Every end of the year, we have always prayed for a better new year ahead. And while we continue to seek for the best things to come, the things that happen around us is not in our hands. The effect of COVID 19 worldwide has implications that have created a hole in the economy. Having an enemy invisible to the naked eye, it is truly hard to determine who has been infected. And for some reason, some individuals could not just understand what the community quarantine is all about. I am not a fanatic of any political party or politician. But when I think that something that they want to impose for the country is beneficial, I am all for that. It is funny how others see community quarantine as a form of Martial Law because by

How Are You Juan?

It’s just the second month of 2020 and yet we have already been bombarded with so many problems. Apart from the Swine Flu that affected so many hog raisers in the last part of last year, a series of uncertain events followed. The recent eruption of Taal Volcano was truly a huge surprise for everyone because it has remained calm for the last 60 years. Although we know that there is no exact time when the eruption will happen again, we will never be calm in such a situation. No matter how much we think we are prepared for such calamities, still, each of us is always left worried about how to start our lives all over again. Taal Volcano Eruption My heart goes to all those who have been displaced because of the eruption. And indeed, seeing how the young children and the elderly have to deal with this is just devasting. It was also painful seeing all the animals that were left on the volcano island. And I know that their owns wouldn’t want to leave them because of the
