This is for those who physically cannot do the way of the cross etc. This will enable you to be one with us in experiencing Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. You can choose to listen to Tagalog or English version of the Way of the Cross.

Fun Run is becoming a craze now with its different advocacies and causes. Who would have thought NURSES would have its first ever FUN RUN for a cause.

Philippine Nursing Opportunities Conference and Expo presents:

The very 1st NURSE’S FUN RUN 2010 PARA SA KINABUKASAN on December 5, 2010 at the CCP Complex, Roxas Blvd, Manila.
This is not only for Licensed Nurses but also for nursing student or nursing graduate.

The event aims to promote camaraderie among nurses and those in the nursing career, health and wellness through a fun activity and most especially, raise the awareness on the “challenges” faced by nurses in our country…

The registration fee for the FunRun is 600 pesos per pair— which means that the event is a “buddy” system Fun Run where pairs compete for a 3.5 km. run. The pair should start and finish the race together.

Finally I was able to attend the WordCamp Philippines 2010 (3rd WordCamp event in the Philippines) with my mum and brother, Jeric at De La Salle – College of St. Benilde last October 2, 2010. I wasn’t able to attend to the first and 2nd WordCamp (though I was registered to the said event) because yes, you’ve guessed it right, DUTY CALLS…

Guess how I have attended this year’s??? Hmmmmm…. (Soooo not allowed to tell )

Anyway, after attending WordCamp Philippines 2010, the first thing that I did was to update my WordPress blog and asked Jeric if he had a back-up of all the posts that I made here. Luckily, he said YES ‘cause now I don’t need to be worried of doing such.

I thought WordCamp was only for bloggers using the platform WordPress but also for website developers (don’t ask me about this, I am just a plain blogger…LOL!)

I attended 3 “breakaway sessions” in the morning such as:

• WordPress Setup and Maintenance by Markku Seguerra
• The Internet is not just for Porn (Videos can be wholesome, too!) by Kring Elenzano
• Blogging with Passion by Jayvee Fernandez

Then, in the afternoon, we were gathered at the hall/theater (whatsoever) for some talks and Q and A portion with the “Mr. WordPress” himself, Matt Mullenweg.

I thought this was just some blogging event, but I was wrong. We had certificates!!!:] too bad I can’t place it on my “Comprehensive Resume” because yes, it is not “some-kind-of-related to Nursing” Ughh.

Nevertheless, I would like to thank WordCamp Philippines 2010 organizers and its sponsors for an awesome event. I was able to spend bonding time with my family too :]

*Pardon me for this super late post. :]

Just this day, my lil sister, Roxanne excitedly told me that iPhone 4 is already here. I was like, you go buy it and let me have your old iPhone. Lol!

I was never really a fan of Apple but I like how classy, stylish, elegant and useful it is for a techie person. Anyway, she told me how advanced this iPhone 4 is and I must admit I fell “inlove” with it too.

Each brand has made their own version of touch screen phones or I must say “iphone-ish” look and features. However, they will never beat Apple because iPhone is iPhone and iPhone 4 is here for you to explore and enjoy.

The iPhone 4 have these interesting features all in one phone:

• Video call or what they call “FaceTime”, since it has 2 cameras one focused to you and one to everything/everyone else
• High resolution and sharpest phone screen you can ever have which they call, RetinaDisplay
• Multi-tasking feature, in which, you can use different apps simultaneously
• High Definition Video recording and editing function, perfect for capturing those precious moments with your friends and loved ones
• 5-megapixel camera with LED Flash, for an iPhone, it is definitely an upgrade.

There is so much more to learn about iPhone 4 here. It is perfect not only for entertainment purposes and reaching out to your loved ones but also for business.

Globe launched the iPhone 4 in the country last, September 24,2010 with a range of customizable plans designed for iPhone customers. What’s more is that you can experience iPhone 4 through booths at Greenbelt and Glorietta.

The full pricing and availability details for iPhone 4 in the Philippines will be available soon on their website.

I now know what I want for Christmas. AHEM! :]]

Red Ribbon never fails to surprise us because they have yet released 2 new cakes for the month of L-O-V-E. Presenting to you the chocolatiest cake that will surely suit your cravings:

Chocolate Heaven

As what its name entails, you will experience heaven as you indulge yourself with it because of its 4-layer combination of creamy of chocolate brownie, chocolate mousse, rich dark chocolate icing and chocolate shaven curls. It really suited my taste because I am a chocolate addict and I super love the classic Chocolate Mousse cake. Chocolate is my energy food. It gets me going. Therefore, Chocolate Heaven, really pumped me up during my late night duties. LOL!

It is up for grabs in all Red Ribbon stores and is available in junior size (P335) and regular size (P560).

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE…

Since Red Ribbon is always present in all occasion as they claimed, they continue to prove it by giving us:

Roses and Kisses Cake

a heart-shaped chocolate pound cake designed with edible sugar roses and Hershey’s milk chocolate Kisses on top. Inside it is filled with layers of chocolate fudge filling coated with white icing.

It is now available for pre-order until February 9, 2009 and is available off the shelf in all Red Ribbon branches nationwide from Febraury 12-14, 2010. Roses and Kisses cake is six diameters in size that is worth P330. It is perfectly in time for Valentine’s Day.

The cake is just sweet and creamy enough to add spice to your “sugary” moment and what’s even delighting about it is you can have it personalized and make it extra special by giving a sweet message for a total of 14-character text before and after the “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

What are you waiting for? Try these very luscious cakes now or else….
