Mesa Moderne Filipino- Ayala Cebu

After Sinulog Festival, it's time to roam around the Queen City of South and my feet landed me here in the heart of the City- Ayala!!

I have this "tamad" thing to look for a restaurant to dine, and i was so hungry.
But this Filipino restaurant caught my eyes, I love it's laid back atmosphere. It was like I'm in the ancestral house in the farm. Bongga din ang mga music na pinapatugtog, very Original Pilipino Music.Mapapsing along ka tlaga.The set-up was nice and the materials that they used for the interior are very Filipino.

We ordered "kare-kare", "binagoongang baboy ni Kaka" and Nilagang baboy- it's all worth it. It's not the usual higher price because the price was just right for a very delicious meals. I really enjoyed their Buko Shake! and the service was awesome-The staffs are nice and very accommodating.

I'm so very proud to introduce to people that we have this kind of restaurant serving Filipino meals with Filipino High Standard of Service. 4 stars out of 5.

My Sinulog travel buddies- Thom and Yajie-

Iwas muna ang diet- kakain muna ang bida! I love how they present their food, ang ganda ng plating and the smell is so good.

relax na relax ako. massage nalang ang kulang, meron pa-unan at kulambo para makatulog na ako dito

I f you will visit Cebu, don't hesitate to enter the Mesa Moderne Restaurant to experience the home away from home with their meals and comfort, contact them at phone number (032) 505-6282 in Ayala Cebu.

   

love,

Sarimanok Pep Squad Reunion

We dance for laughters, for hopes, for love. We're dancers and we create dreams.

I'm a proud member of Sarimanok Pep Squad of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University in General Santos City under with the International Head Coach Mark Dela Cruz.

I've experienced sleepless nights with the team, doing our make up on our own, fixing/sewing our costumes in last minutes and finalizing our routine with our dead tired bodies.- but It's okay, because of these unforgettable experiences, It made me who I am now. Fierce, Brave and Dancer.

I maybe not so active now in dancing- aside from going to bars and parties- but still it's in my heart. and I'm happy that i got an invitation from friends and Sarimanok Officers for a Party wearing my Cheerleading Team Outfit.

Nagflashback ang lahat!- ang tawanan at kulitan, iyakan at drama! isang napaka importanteng yugto ng buhay ko ang Sarimanok Pep Squad. Dito nakabuo ako ng pamilya na mahal ako at tanggap ako kung anu at sino ako- di naging hadlang ang preference ko upang matuto bagkus naging bukas ako sa iba upang mas lalong maniwala sa sarili na kaya ko!- dahil sa grupong ito, pantay-pantay kaming bumubuo ng isang sayaw para sa pangarap! sa bawat kumpetisyon na aming napagdaanan,alam kong di lang tibay ng loob ang naging puhunan namin kundi ang tiwala ko sa sarili ko na mahalaga ako! at ang tiwala ko sa iba na kapag nahulog o nadapa man ako, may isang tao sa likod na handang sumalo at tutulungan akong bumangon ulit.
( ang drama nuh?!)

Bongga at brainy ang pagkagawa ng Event na toh!.Theme kung theme! Na impress ako sa mga pakulo at iba pang kyeme upang talagang mas memorable ang party!

 Alumni vs Newbies!

Dahil sa mas magagaling kaming mga Alumni (I claimed it) hahaa ehh always naming natatalo sila.

Kidding aside, I really admire the new members of the squad.They are now scholars, the school is providing their tuition fees for them to study but they should maintain good grades.ang taray diba?!

Binubuo ng mga batang baguhang Manok ( we call ourselves Manok) sa pamamagitan ng pagsasayaw ang bawat pangarap nilang makapagtapos ng pag aaral at makapag trabaho upang matulungan ang pamilya. I salute you guys. Keep the fire burning!

Di pa nmn masikip yung costumes sa kanila- with Sarimanok Pep Squad Girls Jana, Tatat,Chiqui,Meg and Ma-e

One of the pamatay at lakas-maka-babae stunt ng newbie of Sarimanok Pep Squad

Kahit magka ibang batch forever friends pa din kami nuh?! with Pogak, Chiqui, Meg, Tatat, Ma-e and Star!

#Trending Sweets Dessert Bar

The wedding month is fast approaching- the December.
For sure, there's one member of your group that will walk down the aisle or simply part of the entourage at ginugulo kayong tanungin if anu ba ang ireregalo nila sa friend nilang newly wed.

Here's my Star Tips:
1. Yourself- oo! ikaw, haha huwag mo namang ibalot ang sarili mo. I mean, volunteer yourself for preparing the event. Tumulong ka sa seat plan, mag wrap ng mga give aways, maging photographer,itxt at tumawag ng mga guests na sure ng dadalo at kahit anu pa, basta makatulong lang. Huwag ka naman pang-gulo dahil iibahin mo ang wedding plans, hindi ikaw ang ikakasal, ok?!

2. Couple thing ( shirt, mugs, slippers, or undies)- winner to teh, magiging kaaliw aliw ang ireregalo mong ito. kahit di masyadong mahal pero pinag isipan. haha. Tyak akong magiging favorite ito ng mag asawa.

3. Personalized materials- pwedeng painting, photo frame o ginansilyo mong table cover- mas magiging espesyal ito sa kanila ,kasi ito'y pinaghirapan mo at pinagtuonan mo ng pansin at oras. Huwag na puro baso o gamit sa kusina ang i-givesung mo nuh, aside sa common na ang mga ito, eh di namn sila magpapatayo ng karenderya!

Pero ang pinaka bet ko sa lahat ay pag suggest ng isang dessert bar during the event.
Last Sunday, I hosted at Greenleaf Hotel Basil hall the launching of online shop dito sa Gensan owned by my dear friends Liza Jane Calsis and Princess Pia- eto ang #TrendingSweetsDessertBar

Madaming choices ng desserts and cookies,oh my Happiness and Heaven in one! may truffles, butter cookies, cakes, cupcakes, mini cupcakes and candy corner pa sila. This #trendingsweetsdessertbar is for all occasions.. They can personalized all their desserts upon the request and demand of the clients. So talagang winner!

So sweet and it's trending now!

The owners- Liza Jane Calsis and Princess Pia busy answering questions from GMA Gensan.nag imaita pa ng Media!

#Trending SweetsDessertBar

Poncia Glaiza Acharon- the winner for most LIKES in facebook with fansign "#Trending Sweets I like" Ikaw na amg Mother Peymus!

For any queries you may contact Liza Jane Calsi @ 09332399456

The Voice Kids of the Philippines in Gensan

I'm a believer of a #dreamsdocometrue and these kids from a talent search The Voice of the Philippines Kids Edition are the living example.

The Voice of the Philippines Kids in KCC Mall

Fanney nako ng mga chikiting na eto sa sobrang galing nilang kumanta, i was moved also by their life stories.
napa ka strong ng mga personalities nilang apat lalong lalo na si Darlene,
Lyca was still rehearsing at the backstage with her ever supportive nanay.
 As usual malikot ang mga boys na sina Juan Karlos and Darren.

I was asked by a friend na si EJ Alonzo to let Darren greet him on camera, unfortunately, bawal daw sabi ng star magic, pabulong lang chinika sa akin ni Darren, napa strikto nga nman ng Star Magic Team, kasi priced talents nila ang kasama nila.Naiintindihan ko naman agad yun.

Naunang magperform si Darlene-ang girl on fire, birit kung birit si bagets.
Sumunod si Juan Karlos, na halos di ko na marinig ang performance sa sobrang ingay ng KCC Convention Center-nagtitiliang mga fans ang sumakop ng event center.
What a great performance ang ipinakita ni Darren, ang galing niya naka nganga lang ako all the time while he was singing.

Ang gwapo ng Bisaya Boy na si Juan Karlos-I'm with Princess as your hosts for this Big Night.

with Darren Espanto praying bago sumalang sa stage.

and lastly si Lyca, ang itinanghal na the Voice Kids of the Philippines Ultimate Champion.na halos di din nagpa blags ang little bagets sa death defying performance niya. Siya ang batang Lungs! Ang galing.

Ang di ko inaasahan ang ay ang pagpunta ni Mommy D sa stage, i was interviewing Lyca to promote her shows sa TV and other concerts, when Mommy Dionisia Pacquioa arrived, 

nagsigawan ang mga tao, madami nga tlagang fans si Mommy D kahit dito sa Gensan.
Maalalang ginaya ni Lyca si Mommy D nung nag guest eto sa show ni Vice Ganda, kinanta nito ang Wrecking Ball by Mommy D version.

Nagface-off ang dalawa, kinantahan ng bibong bibong si Lyca ang kanyang espesyal na panauhin ng Wrecking Ball, I was there at the back shouting and cheering for this memorable event in showbiz, (akala mo naman kung anu talaga ang face off na eto). ahaha

Ibinigay ko kaagad kay Mommy D ang microphone ko upang makapagsalita na siya, pinuri niya agad at binati si Lyca, at nangaral ang lola mo sa mga andun sa event na yun, na dapat daw ay suportahan ng mga magulang ang kanilang mga junakis sa mga talents nila, upang maging successful, ayyy ikaw na Mommy D.!
even before naman tlaga ay fanney mo na ako ehh.She has charisma and charm.

Isa eto sa pinakamasayang hosting gig na napuntahan ko. It made me a star! kahit 7.5 seconds lang sa National TV. Na TV patrol na din ako sa wakas.Bongga kasi yung headline eh, di ako nanakawan o ni-rape, o binastos ng mga tambay sa kanto.. hahaha Sikat,kasi nasa Star Patrol! kaloka!anlakas maka artista! kahit na wala sa akin yung spotlight ayy ok na din yun, Exposure is still an exposure! ibang levels na. ahahha sana dumami raket ko nito pagkatapos. hahaha

Nag trending ang pagkikita nina Mommy D at Lyca sa social media- eh umeksena din ako dun, so salamat sa nagpost neto,salamat sa mga friends who texted me at naniwala hahaha. Artista nako sa 7.5 seconds na yun! ahahahha

The Voice of the Philippines Kids on their Finale Song. Thank you KCC Mall of Gensan!

Love lots

STI Gensan Basic Leadership Seminar

I was on the plane going to Bangkok when I received a call from Maam Jessabelle Liansing, Guidance Counselor of STI Gensan inviting me to be their speaker.

Well, unang dinig ko pa lang eh medyo hesitant ako to accept the offer, but still i grabbed the opportunity to hone my skills in communication and to share to all the student leaders the feeling of being a leader and the responsibility behind every position.

Sila ang susunod na lider ng bayan, makakatulong akong hulmahin ang kaisipan nila. Magiging parte ako ng kanilang proseso kung paano tanggapin at pahalagahan ang isang bagay na para sa kapwa mag aaral nila at para sa mamamayan.

Push ko na toh nuh!! since my talent fee daw at libreng pakain sina maam para sa akin.
I'm planning to have my vacation in Singapore at the end of this month so ang laking tulong ng matatanggap ko dito.
hashtag raketera nga, medyo alam ko na din to,so sana magiging madali para sa akin.

I was a student leader way back in Elementary , nung highschool at pati na rin sa College.

Nung nasa Elementary ako
1. Leader ako ng Boyscout-kahit gusto ko jumoin sa Girl Scout . Eh wala na akong nagawa, mapanghusga na ang lipunan kahit noon pa man. haha
2. I was part of Student Body Organization: PIO ako, na hanggang ngayon di ko pa din talaga alam kung anung ibig sabihin at kung anung role nito sa grupo. basta chumika lang ako ng chumika at feeling ko nagampanan ko nmn ng maayos yun.

Highschool

1. I was a Vice President sa SSC(Student Supreme Council) Lumevel up. Nauto ko nga siguro ang mga schoolmates ko na magaling ako, pero di ko naman sila na- fail sa gusto nilang change sa studentry.
2. I was part of Teen Support Group. di ko na maalala yung posisyon ko pero nahalata nga siguro nila na nagpapaka Mahatma Gandhi at Nelson Mandela ako in one hahaha- nag aacting-actingan lang siguro akong leader nun.

College
1. Vice President na naman ako sa Graduating Class year 2008- always na nga siguro akong Vice-pero hayaan nyo na. eh kapag ka natigok naman o nangurakot yung President eh magiging akin din naman ang korona este posisyon pala.
2. at naging officer ako sa different clubs and organization sa school. Sa Science Club, Biology Circle, Cheerdance Varsity at pinatulan ko na pati ang Catechism Org.na ang mga kasama ko bilang officers ay mga banal.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

John Quincy Adams

naka blindfold ang mga leaders para hanapin ang nawawala nilang mga members. Masayang activity to.

break muna from discussion for a groupie shot

tower building contest- andaming paandar ng mga students.Very Participative

parang nanalong beauty queen ako sa  pose na ito with the very active Ms. Belle and Ms. Marl from STI Gensan

Thank you so much Student Leaders of STI Gensan and to your Guidance Councilors Ms. Belle and Ms. Marl for trusting me  this event. Thank you for letting me share and inspire these leaders.

Here comes the June este Bride pala!

June is the famous month to get married. It's the best time because it's post summer so its warm and perfect for garden or outdoor wedding. The flowers starting to fully bloom and the garden is so green, in short ang daming arte! idadamay mo pa ang mga halaman at bulaklak sa kagustuhan mong gumanda ang wedding mo. di nga din naman kita masisi eh kung bakit you really wanted it to be perfect, yung gusto mo lahat parang fairy tale.yung parang pang happily ever after- namulat nga naman talaga tayo sa mga prinsesa sa alamat at kwento, kaya ganun ang ideal na kasal ng iilan.

As a host, most of the time i got emotional when i saw everyone smiling and sometimes crying  during wedding day,especially the bride and groom. Kumaka-crayola din ako nuh- ewan ko nga ba kung bakit?! di ko madescribe yung feeling na sobrang saya ko para sa bagong mag asawa.daig ko pa ang ninang at ninong nila.hahaha

Here's my tips para sa mga wedding attendees: sila ang mga bisita, part ng entourage at mga kamag anak ng mga bagong ikinasal.

1.Be the early bird- the early bird catches the lechon! ahahha. kaloka!- Dapat maging maaga kayo sa simbahan or sa event's place- Huwag niyong paghintayin ang Pari at  huwag mong bigyan ng stress ang mga matatandang staffs ng simbahan- Lalo na't part ka ng entourage, hay naku, huwag mong sirain ang show- parang awa mo na. And please occupy the first row ng upuan, huwag kang matakot sa pastor o pari na sesermonan ka about Pre-marital sex, pakapalan na ng mukha yan.

2.The many-ier not the better- di ibig sabihin kapag invited ka eh invited na din ang buong angkan mo sa kasal- naka head count po ang pagkain sa reception at naka budget ang souveniers- huwag mong dalhin ang mga barkada mo at family members mo kapag ka di naman talaga sila invited-di po ito clan o batch reunion.

3.Brides MAID ka! MAID! as in KA-TU-LONG! huwag kang umupo lang at minu-minuto ay nag reretouch na parang isa ka sa mga bisita- You received that role on wedding kaya dapat gampanan mo ng maayos- you should lead the guest to their seats, mamigay ng corsage at flowers sa godparents, encourage the crowd to participate and attend the needs of visitors, - huwag kang maarte! maganda ka lang at huwag mong ipagsabay ang dalawang yan.ok?! Tips para sa mga Bride- you should inform your bride's maids on what to do and please make it sure na kilala ka nila at close talaga kayo! Sila ang mga dahilan kung bakit successful o palpak ang show.

4. Eat and Run- May mga tao talagang ganito- kapag tapos na silang kumain ay aalis na bitbit ang supot ng take out!- ang kakapal! You committed your time para sa wedding ,dapat mainitindihan mong part ka ng kasalang ito, from the start until the end of the program.. Di po ito Jollibee na kapag ka tapos kana sa lafang eh maglalaho ka nlang bigla. Kabastusan po yan para sa aming part ng organizing team at lalo na rin sa newly wed couple.

5.Calling all the Single Ladies- eto yung pinaka madugong part ng wedding reception- ang "Throwing of Bouquet"-Push and Pull to! pipilitin mo pa ang mga babaeng single na tumayo sa gitna at saluhin lang naman ang bulaklak ng bride- Bisita ka, kaya magparticipate ka! yung iba, tinatawag na nga ang pangalan- eh, di pa tatayo! cause ka ng delay ate! di kanaman masyado kagandahan pero pinapa init mo ang ulo ng Bride at ng Organizers. Tapos kapag ka tinapon na ang maganda at mahal na bouquet- eh walang sasalo! nasa sahig nalang ang kumpol ng bulaklak na lamog! kung di pa naman kayo tanga! ang linaw ng instruction na mag uunahan lang naman kayong saluhin yan.Sinasabotahe niyo ang ganda ng flow ng program.Nakakainis na!

Galit na ako huh! hahaha kidding.
Irespeto naman sana ang oras at kagustuhan ng newly wed couple-
huwag mong balahurain ang palabas.
This is their winning and priceless moment and let them shine. Don't be a scene stealer!
Kasal nila ito at di mo wedding! maghintay ka! gaga!

Mr. and Mr.s Talaid and the KCC Family

Lumalaban na talaga kami! puro kasal na. Mr. and Mrs. Insular and the KCC Family

Sherry Paderna-the beautiful Bride from Koronadal City - Garden wedding ang peg! lovely and bongga-

Keep shining,

Cliff the star!

Travel: China with Love

Naka schedule na ang China Booking Trip for this year sa buwan ng May.
Part na ng trabaho ko ang maglakwatsa at rumampa sa iba't ibang lugar, and I'm happy doing it. Ang lakas maka artista!haha
This time sa China with Love na naman ang lipad ko!

Death defying ang flight! Mula Manila, expect na namin na sa Canton Airport ng Guangzhou kami bababa,
eh dahil sa malakas na ulan at may malakas na hangin pa, halos dalawang oras din kami sa himpapawid, afraid ang ate nyo! ng biglang magsalita na ang piloto ng China Southern Airlines
Syempre Chinese muna ang salita bago na translate sa english.
ang sabi magla-land daw muna kami sa Shenchen Airport. Di ko naman alam kung san yun!pero when i saw it sa map, eh parang gensan-davao lang ang layo.
We stayed there almost 3 hours, dun sa part na naman ng lugar na iyon umulan ng malakas so ang resulta-di na tuloy kami makalipad-stress na ang mga intsik na kasama ko, at ako, pilit ko nilalakasan ang loob sa pamamagitan ng pag sa-sight seeing sa mga cute na nakasakay din sa eroplano!
pero may halong kaba at kaduwagan pa din akong naramdaman, hahay kapag ka minamalas ka nga naman- sobra sobra talaga.
Happily nakaland ang plane namin sa Canton at safe kaming lahat. kawawa lang iyong may mga connecting flights.

Kahit noong first time ko dito, namangnha ako tlaga., China is a lovely place, ang ganda ng roads and highways, may mga bulaklak kahit saan, isang parang malaking garden ang China. haha

Ang makasaysayang Beijing Road.

what i love most in travelling is Shopping, kahit walang anda/pera go window shopping lang ang emote!

at last, natapos din, here i am with may UNIQLO paper bag. ahaha para atles alam niyong may nabili naman ako dun. kaya lang SALE na siya pero ok na din.

hahah makulet na waitress ng isang restaurant- eh parang Unite Nation ang ganap! may pa-peace sign pa kaming dalawa!

Alam kong work  ang pinunta ko sa China, pero dahil sa kalandian at kagagahan ko talaga eh di niyo na maiaalis sa akin ang mga ganitong pasabog-

"sa likod ng bawat saya at ganda ng isang larawan- di nakikita ang nakatagong hirap at sakit na nararamdaman"

love lots,

To Tourism Officer

It was never in my idea to join Gaigai to Mahin Festival in Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani Province.
But since she was still heartbroken(actually, as always) and into the process of healing and moving on na daw so i joined the group then we created  The Team Mahin.

According to my research that Mahin is a  Blaan word for "beach" signifying the tranquility, calmness and the mysteries of water while they incorporate also this term to pay respect and tribute to the first tribal groups of Glan.Oh,Thank you Google for saving my life again!

We were so very happy na nakarating kami ng Glan na safe, ang ganda ng concrete roads and the scenery going there is superb.
we went to beach agad for the  compulsory "groupie" shot- we posted immediately the pics on IG, twitter and FB using the #mahin so that we could invite people from nearby to visit the beautfil beach of Glan.Feeling ko effective nmn kasi nagdatingan pa yung iba from Gensan.that's the power of media!fruk.

The Big event that night was the Mahin Bodies- its a pageant of both men and women in different summer wear. The host DJ Justine B of MOR was very witty to open the program. There are fanatastic dancers from creative artistic group of Glan and the firedancers who are very brave and very good with their skills na sana nakapag ensayo ng maigi at nailagay sila sa tamang consepto ng programa,Then the show became dragging, the contestants are showing their bodies(bikini open nga db?), strike thier post as if there's no tomorrow, I saw the last year's Mahin Bodies and the pose of the ladies are different- nag iiba, parang nagiibang anyo at katauhan na sila. This is really a competition and gumagawa sila ng mga gestures and pose na annoying na tlaga, and slutty ang dating- Men are more composed on stage.

It's almost midnight when they FINALLY  announced the winners, I love the results since yung mga bet namin eh pasok naman sa banga. Nashock kami sa low budgeted na sash- parang ribbon lang at nilagyan ng elmer's glue at binudburan ng silver dust. it could be better if nag pa print sila ng tarpaulin at ginupit nila yun at presto! ang no-hagu-sash!
 The big bands with complete musical instruments are the highlights, they perform enthusiastically on stage, but mas mabuti sana if early nagstart ang performance nila kasi you could see the interactions of the crowd and the people happily dancing to the reggae tune.

When I went home, i saw Sir Avel's photo about the Mahin Bodies, and i posted my comments in the comments box saying " the show is dragging, at parang di pinaghandaan ang sash, at ang gwapo ng katabi mong judge"

then I received these messages:

+ 

To the shows organizer and tourism staff of Mahin Festival:

It was just an observation of mine as an avid fan of Mahin Festival- congratulations for the job well done.
and to the member of tourism office- please be kind also to PM me such word of inquiries. My comment to Sir Avel's picture about the Mahin is not to demean you guys and the program but it's a constructive criticism- that i hope and wish you to accept.
Di po kailangan na well renowned choreographer or director ako para magbigay ng komento sa mga nakita ko about the event. and to that officer who PM me- I'm not coming from hell . you could have para-phrase your statement base on your educational attainment and status as a tourism officer of Glan. That's how you treat tourists?  if you heard some sort of comments regarding your place or an event, take every word as a challenge to evaluate the tourism program and not to question someone's credibility and achievements.
Either verbal, in paper,in FB comment box still these are all comments that should be well taken.
eh kung ayaw niyo naman pala ng comments, eh di na sana po di nlang kayo ng invite ng crowd.

I have a big respect to the event organizers and the officers of Glan, kasi alam ko ang hirap at pagod na pinagdadaanan ng lahat-kasi I myself is from events too, I used to host celebrities during their concerts and mall shows in Gensan and Marbel, I'm a creative and production staff of Mark D Spot that specializes in handling events and  pageants such as Miss Silka South Central Mindanao and Ginoo at Binibining Heneral Santos 2014, I'm not bragging these achievements but I want you to know that, we, in our team accepted every comments either good or bad, because that will serve as a teacher for us to change and grow.English po yan para intense!

HUMILITY.



Di ko na pinatulan yung PM niya kasi LOVE LOVE LOVE na.

Nawalan ng wallet yung kasamahan naming si Arthur Fermo kung sino man po ang nakakita ng wallet niya-huwag nyo po ibalik ang pera( for sure) yung mga I.D's nlang po.
see!? nawalan kami pero wala kaming sinisi na mga security and police, kasi katangahan nga naman ng kasama ko yun at di maiiwasan yun sa dami ng tao- pero nagalit ba kami?nambintang? nagbash ?wala! di nmn ahh.. pero bakit si tourism officer kung maka PM sa akin ganun,, anyareh?! first-time?!

I asked my friend why i received these messages,
Gaigai: because you're Cliff Corsit. the STAR! ahaha di ko masyado maintindihan eh kung may content ba yung sinabi niya, lasing din nmn kasi kami nun. ahahha


Love lots

Cliff

Reunion na naman!

Pagka ganetong tapos na ang pasko, lahat ay parang bored na at di alam ang gagawin. yung iba nagkukulong nalang sa kwarto at inuubos ang atay nila sa kaka alak! kaya may matalinong naka isip na mag REUNION- eto yung magkita kita ult ang isang grupo ng kamag aral, kaibigan, kapamilya, ka tribu at ka-mukha na nagkahiwalay ng mahabang panahon.Pagkakataon na din eto upang magkamustahan chever at maka usap yung dati mo ng naging kaibigan, ka crush at ka inggitan. It's best time also to stay in touch with the person who was part of your life.

sa bawat pagtitipon na eto maraming bagay ang ngyayari- may nagiging masaya, malungkot, na bad trip at minsan naging umpisa eto ng gulo. Ganun pa man, the bottomline why we are doing this reunion is to be happy and to express our happiness to everyone we love.

eto ang mga bagay na gagawin at huwag mong gagawin sa reunion.

1. Pumayag ka sa lahat ng gusto ng committee, like sa food, sa place at pati na rin sa theme ng party- bulaklakin  ang suot if hawaiian ang theme at magmaskara ka if beauty contest ang ganap(di ka kc maganda eh) hahaha- if you want to change the theme or the plan, pwes gumawa ka ng sarili mong reunion. ikaw lang mag isa!.

2. Makihalubilo ka, beso beso-handshake-kaway at makipag usap- sa panahong eto para kang artista na lahat ng nandoon sa party eh gusto kang makita at makausap, huwag mong ipagdamot ang sarili mo sa iba. maaring ibalik nila ang nakaraan at magflashback sa kagagahang ginawa mo noong highschool or college pero wala na silang magagawa kundi pagtawanan nalang eto-walang cctv nun teh! kaya push lang-

3. Huwag kang paranoid!-  dahil naiintimidate ka sa mga naabot ng mga ka klase mo noon,huwag mong ikahiya kung anung meron ka ngayon.dahil pinaghirapan mo yan bagkus taas noo ka dapat na sumali at makipag usap sa kanila dahil lahat sila ay proud sa iyo. It's time also to look for connections and network, maaring ang isa sa iyong kamag anak ay Manager na isang kompanya at naghahanap ng tauhan at maari kang mag aplay, Think always the better side of this gathering.

To see someone who's part of your life before is a very touching moment. Cherish it and treasure each single laughter and talk because that's for lifetime.

at Veranza Mall with my bio class super friends- si jailyn constantino, ray nichols dinero, ian pastera and donna javier with kid- sila etong mga naksama ko on my first year in college.nakakamiss.!

Reminders:
1. Huwag lumandi sa ex bf o crush lalo na't taken na sya.
2. Magbayad ng maayos sa reunion fee, hangin nlang po ang libre!
3. Huwag muna magtake out if di pa tapos ang program.mahiya ka naman!
4. Bring always your camera for precious moments! huwag uma asa sa tagging
5. Huwag magbenta at ilako ang products ng avon,natasha at magoofer ng pyramid scam sa gathering.,panira ka lang!
6. Be Participative-jo-moin sa mga pacontest, sayang din ang paremyong sabon at kabo nuh?!
7. Huwag dalhin ang buong angkan pati kapitbahay if class/batch reunion eto-di sila kasali sa budget!
8. Huwag gumawa ng eksena- maaring nalunod na ng alcohol ang mapurol mong utak kaya naisip mong eto ang pinaka perfect timing upang awayin ang iyong kalaban!gawin bang UFC fight arena tong reunion?
9. Huwag kang masyadong halata na pinag uusapan nyo lang buhay ng dati nyong classmate- huwag maging chismosa!
10 and lastly, Be happy.


that's all.


Keep shining,

Cliff the star!

Typhoon Yolanda Stories

Matapos ang mga nangyari sa bansa natin dahil sa Typhoon Yolanda- The greatest disaster on Earth this year(nagka record pa ang kumag)- eto ang Pilipinas ngayon, bumabangon!

Watching news about the typhoon really broke my heart, that's why i decided to help. Thanks to my friends for picking up all my packed clothes and deliver it to ABS-CBN Gensan. but there are  lot of stories that really amazed me and inspired me to be a better person.

1. Love Añover- Reporter ng GMA News- isang media personality na nasaksihan ang tunay na pangyayari doon sa Palo-Leyte habang nagcocover- madaming namatay, madami ang nasugatan pero si Love buong tapang na inihatid ang balita upang makatulong. Bilang ganti din niya sa mga taong tumulong sa kanya-binalikan niya ang mga eto at pinasalamatan ng personal-ang driver ng van, driver ng single motorcylce, ang mag asawang nagpa inum sa kanya ng tubig na kahit na halos ginto ang katumbas neto nung panahon na iyon at ang dalawang magkapatid na inalalayan siya.Mangiyakngiyak si Love habang nagpapasalamat sa mga eto- ako din umiiyak habang pinapanood ang programang Kapuso mo Jessica Soho.

2. Bianca Gonzales- Ginamit ang kanyang pagiging sikat sa Social Media upang maghatid ng tulong at mang engganyo ng iba upang tumulong na rin. Na touch din ako dat she featured a lot of Yolanda stories too in Instagram and twitter. like students creating greeting card to inpire other victims, the two old lovers na di nagpatinag sa sitwasyon bagkos mas lalo silang nagmahalan sa kabila ng katandaan.Sinulatan din ni Bianca ang bawat lata ng sardinas ng mga salitang magpapatibay sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. She is really a Super Bianca!

Divine Lee- She is beautiful in and out. She is really a Queen to help others. She used her connections to be able to give to the victims the reliefs and needs. No make-up , No high heels but still i find her beautiful and stunning on her effort to volunteer. mabuhay ka Mother!

3. Anderson Cooper- di nmn dadagsa ang tulong sa bansa kung wala ang International Media that really magnified the situation of Philippines to the world. Pinakita niya ang sitwasyon at humingi na rin ng tulong sa iba para sa mga Pilipino.

4. Volunteers- mga Foriegner na iniwan ang trabaho at pamilya upang tumuolong, kahit ang iba sa kanila nabiktima ng bagyo at  pa ng mga pagnanakaw katulad nung cellphone na nagselfie pa ang salarin. Sila ang tunay na bayani na di na kailangan pang gawan ng istatwa at ilagay sa pedestal, isang I.D lang nakasabit sa leeg na may katagang VOLUNTEER- dama kong irespeto at mahalin kita. Salamat.

madami pang mga storyang naganap at nabuo sa Typhoong Yolanda, marami ang sad stories ngunit kinakailangan nating basahin at pahalagahan ang masasayang storya na nagmula sa isang masaklap na trahedya-habang buhay kung ikekuwento at di ako mapapagod na ikwento eto sa bawat taong magtatanongsa akin neto. Mga kwentong kapupulutan ng aral at leksyon and to inspire each of us to do good. Be a good karma will come closer to these people.


keep shining,

Theme party is fun. It will let you think and brainstorm for the best dress or look you want to be.It was the  funniest costume party I attended ever.
I love to see a lot of  friends wearing different outfit and they are so experimental yet gorgeous.
It doesn't mean that it's Halloween you will stain your body with red liquids to appear as blood and be so ugly to become a manananggal or diablo. It's your time to be beautiful as well and to shine to this kind of theme party!
I promise to organize an event like this next year, of course I will invite a lot of people to come with us and to get to know more of party goer like me.Sana madaming sponsors!

See you next year Everyone.
