Yoga for a Cause

There is this program organized by the Rotaract Club of Munting Pag-asa Davao called "Rotary Shares Life Program"which aims to assist children with cancer admitted at the Davao Medical Center.

And so, with that in mind, they came up with a Yoga Class where the money you pay, goes to the program.

It is a 3-day session with 2 certified instructors (Jon cagas and Fritz Freire) from TEAM YOGA 2002. It would be held on July 13 (Sunday: 1:30 - 5:00 pm) July 14-15 (7:30-9:00 pm) @ the Smashville Fitness Center.

The 3 day session would be for Php 600.00. But, it's all worth it, aside from getting the Yoga class you get to help the children with cancer in DMC.

Almost everyone who is involved in blogging get requests about link exchanges or to be added in one's blog roll or maybe you are even one of those who requests to be added in another person's blog.

Anyway, why am I talking about this? It's because I found a site that would help you with blog rolls and link exchanges. and that is: 23Blogs.com - FREE Blog Roll TEXT Link Exchange.(1:10).

To A Friend

To our Friend (Emel)

I will miss...
I always cherished
I will always remember..

all those days when we were in high school...
liking the same band....
the same song...
the same TV Shows...
the same anime (and even buying those cards at the market... just to save and share it with each other).
or even liking the same person in a band or in real life....
the same habit (chatting)...


We've been through a lot... yes...

But I guess... something happened... not all of us knew deep within...
Whatever you do...

I wish you to be at peace... wherever you are.

You are Loved.

A Circle

Before I tell you about the second part of our April Tour..

I'll post this tag first:

This was a tag from my good friend Ate Mari

*Circle of Friends*

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others
You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me…
You brought another friend…
And then there were 3…
We started our group…
Our circle of friends…
And like that circle…
There is no beginning or end…
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

So now, let’s see how many circle of friends we can make by simply adding your link on this Friendship Meme!

1-Catsy Carpe Diem, 2- Catsy Downloads, 3-Out of the Blue, 4- A Day to Savor and Relish 5- A Piece of Idea 6- Write Shy 7- Stupid Wise 8-http://onlinememorylane.blogspot.com/ 9 - http://www.jk-nocargo.blogspot.com/Teacher’s Corner 10- Abby of Mom and the City 11 - Soulful Thoughts 12-http://mahalkaayo.blogspot.com/ 13.

April 2008 Trip I

The trip went well (in fact it was great!).

The first part of the trip was spent on four scheduled Leadership Training in different places to be conducted by my mom.


April 12-13 :

The first one was conducted at Malolos, Bulacan. My mom's training is limited to 30 persons only (and that's already the maximum but on some places it would exceed to 35). But this time at Malolos there were only 12 participants (which makes it easy for mom). Less audience is easier.

I also tried a delicacy from Malolos called Inipit *review some other time*. I also visited the ever famous Barasoain Church. I was supposed to take a picture in front but, a wedding was about to take place and so all my plans of being there went down the drain. Hehe. Give way to the bride. :P

April 15-16:

Our second schedule was set to be in Tandang Sora, Quezon City to be hosted by Mrs. Luzviminda's Service Center.

Basically, this group is a great one, most of the attendees are in their youth and they are way beyond people their age already. (Not a lot of youths attend this kind of training though). They are responsive and they ask a lot of questions (which is actually great because my mom encourages questions and clarifications when she speaks). Very interactive. They are also achievers which makes it a plus. Keep it up guys! :)

April 17-18:

The third schedule was held at Willie Mercado's Service Center over at Zamora Street.

Mrs. Lelel was a great host, she made sure we were doing all right and all that. She even drove us at the hotel when our drive wasn't able to make it. I also admired her three kids helping out with their Service Center. You can see they have a tight family bond.

The group here is great as well. Intellectual and Spiritual and so Mom did not have any trouble and actually finished early because they got it just right.

I also admired Mr. & Mrs. Lauron(Crown Diamonds) who attended mom's training. It's quite rare to see a person EARN MUCH and attend trainings. Most people who earn much and are in a high position don't attend trainings anymore. You can see that Mr. & Mrs. Lauron are green mangoes*

April 19

Supposed to be our rest day but mom made time for some of the Network Leaders who weren't able to attend her trainings. It started by 10am ended at quarter to 4 or something.

April 20

en route to Quezon. We took our time getting to the place. Not much in a hurry. I enjoyed the ride.

April 21-22

The last schedule was held at Aramin Resort in Tayabas, Quezon Province. The bond on this group is very tight. Quezon already had it's first batch, which were the "uplines" of the second batch and they bonded during the two nights talking about a lot of things in life. I enjoyed observing their bond here.



April 23


Before going back to Manila we decided to climb the 300 steps of the "Kamay ni Hesus" grotto. Due to the "coding" in Pasay we delayed our going back to Manila by stopping at different places and taking a different, scenic route. I was able to drop by at Lucban, Quezon (to check out the hats once again... but did not get to buy one.. since I don't know where I would store it. T_T), and Lumban, Laguna (the home of the finest barongs).

All in all it was a fun filled trip full of learning experiences. I learned a lot from different people. It's one of the reasons I decided to stay in the Networking Field. You get to understand people more and more and you meet different people and learn from them and at the same time you got to help them out. You give something, they get something. You get something, they give out something.

*Green Mango - mature independent person, attends trainings. leaves their cup empty, eager to learn. coachable. A green mango stays on the tree. It doesn't fall. It wouldn't rot.
*Yellow Mango - immature independent person, don't attend trainings because their cup is full already. they feel they know EVERYTHING. A yellow mango usually falls from a tree and is left to rot. When you stop learning, you start to rot just like a yellow mango.

Back Home

Finally, I'm home sweet home. Got sooo many stories to tell. I don't know where to begin.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!!

Once again

Once again I will be out from the online world.

I do hope I get to go to a few events I've been invited to by online friends if it fits with my Mom's schedule.

1. April 12 - SM Megamall NBS - Book Signing by Pamela Santos of The Only Thing Between Us. After a series of exchanging mails with Pamela (she has good PR with her readers and I'm sure her book would be a hit to her online acquaintances) she informed me she had it published already. I finished the book and the review is HERE.
2. and of course the Bloggers Meet up with Ate Ann who will be in Pinas by then.
3. April 26 - Malcolm Theater, College of Law, in UP Diliman Quezon City - The 4th IBlog Summit. I do hope I can drop by. *sigh* But, to those who want to join you can register HERE. Check the list of participants HERE.

Ill ty to visit your blogs as much as possible. See you all and enjoy the summer.

Too bad ill be missing out some events sa mga ka covs ko. Oh well.

Have A GREAT WEEK!

Martha's Flowers

http://www.1800flowers.com/marthastewart

There are new Martha Stewart's products over at 1800 flowers and is distributed exclusively. I checked it out and oh how much I wanted to have one of those martha stewart plants they have over there.Of course, these new martha stewart flowers are just so lovely and they come with a unique vase perfectly suited for the flower arrangement. How fitting! They also have a page where they give you tips about finding a perfect vase (since vases are vital to your arrangements because they balance the floral display and as well adds visual interest) for your flower arrangement. Isn't it just nice?

I saw a Martha Stewart Rose and Nerine Bouquet and it sure made me smile a million watts looking at the blend of the two colors (red and pink). If red and pink does not tickle you but it's green that brings the fresh feeling then the Martha Stewart Lotus Pod Bouquet would suit you - it is a symbol of hope and harmony. It also arrives with a ceramic bamboo grove vase.

Since, it's still a graduation week you can choose from various bouquets the perfect set for someone who just graduated. I really like the Martha Stewart Pink Tulip Bouquet in a clear glass vase - it looks so girly.

The Martha Stewart Pastel Gerbera Bouquet also caught my eye. If you don't like the two colors mixed and you prefer to have either pink or the yellow, they could arrange that for you and its called Martha Stewart Buttercream Gerbera Bouquet and Martha Stewart Pale Pink Gerbera Bouquet.

Visit and check out those bouquets that would take your breath away if it materializes physically!

Payment Processing

http://paymentprocessing.cc

Nowadays, almost everything is processed online specially our payments. And, sometimes there is just so much information and something new always comes up when it comes to payment processing. There are probably many a good "informational sites" about payment processing scattered just about anywhere in the world wide web. But, there is something better compared to those informational sites and it is what we call the Payment Processing Forums.

Yes, a forum. A forum is a good medium to seek out help and be updated by what's new whenever it's about payment processing. It has forums about the different internet payment service providers with discussions ranging from: General Payment Processing, E-Gold and E-bullion, Merchant Accounts, Paypal Discussion, Moneybookers, and Bank Accounts and Internet Banking. It also has forums about Electronic Payment Gateways and E-Currencies with the following discussions: Payment Gateways with and Credit Cards each with their own sub-forums. It has forums about Fraud and Chargeback Prevention (and I'm sure that place would have a lot of people who frequents it so as they would get updated) with discussions about Online Fraud, Credit Card Fraud, Fraud Detection and Prevention and Chargeback and Refunds. It also has forums about Business with discussions in Ecommerce, Marketing and Webmasters. They have topics like: What is VCC? What is Payflow? Click Fraud and Marketing Mix Analysis.

Of course they also have forums where you can introduce yourself freely and some free talks that are out of topic ( a forum where you get to know other people who frequent the Payment Processing forum). A forum wouldn't be complete without a "Suggestion and Feedbacks" discussion and so they have it too making it a complete one stop drop about Payment Processing.

So, if you have questions about Payment Processing go and visit their forum to get answers and share knowledge and experience to others.

Perflect Blend

and no it's not just coffee that makes a perfect blend... but people with different personalities would.

and so I'm thanking Weng for this cute award...

and I'm also handing this award to Bryan, Ate Nona and Ate Sash

who, in their own way blended perfectly with the rest of the bloggers with their "friendly" nature - and I'm one of them!
