Olivia Newton-John, Cherrie Gil at Lydia De Vega

  Nakaka blues naman... Para sa aming mga bata noon, simple lang ang buhay. Pag gising, may hilamos o wala, gagayak ka na sa panaderya. Bibili ka ng pandesal at mantekilya, kahit pupungas pungas pa. Bawal ang bumangon ng tirik na ang araw, at ang huling gigising ang siyang magliligpit ng banig, kumot at mga unan. Dahil sabado, pwede ka makinig ng radyo o manood ng TV. Pwede ka rin magpatugtog ng plaka. Isa si Olivia Newton John sa nagpaantig ng puso ko noon. Nalungkot ako una kong marinig yung I Honestly Love You. Isa yun sa maraming kanta na nirecord ko sa tape. Kasi noon, kung wala kang pambili ng songhits, ite-tape mo yung mga kanta, at pau-lit-ulit mong pakikinggan hanggang sa makabisa mo. Markado yung boses ni Olivia kaya naman nung lumabas yun Hopelessly Devoted at iba pang kanta sa Grease, laking pasalamat ko at nagka plaka kami nun pati nung Xanadu.   May skating rink noon sa Luneta, swerte na napapasama ako sa mga ate ko noon. Tuwing tinutugtog iyun Xanadu, pakiramdam ko napak

I luv #TipasHopia

#Hopia is a popular merienda or snack in the Philippines. It is similar to the Chinese mooncake, only its outer layers are thin flakes. The fillings could be mung been or monggo, sweet yam or ube. While i also like the hopia monggo of sari sari stores and hopia baboy and flavored hopia in chinatown, I like these Tipas Hopia too. You can get these from bakeries in #Tipas in Taguig. If you are lucky, you'll find a vendor along provincial highways, too! That was how we got ours!

Tips if magka-COVID at maitakbo sa public hospital

Kung magka COVID ka at malala at sa public hospital magpapagamot, ito ang payo ko sa iyo base sa aking karanasan noong Abril 2021: 1. Masks-magdala at everyday magpalit ka. Sa ward, iba-iba ang makakasama mo, iba iba rin ang level ng Covid. Bukod sa iyo at sa ibang pasyente, para din ito sa kapakanan ng mga health workers na gagamot sa iyo. 2. Diatabs-kasi baka mag LBM ka at hindi ka na mabalikan ng nurse. Lalo kapag full capacity ang ospital. May oras lang ang pagbisita nila at sa dami ng pasyente may chance na makalimutan nila. Hind iyun sadya. 3. Vitamin C- para maka double dose kahit nasa ospital. Tulungan mo na rin sarili mo. 4. Skyflakes pero individually wrapped. Huwag iyun maramihan,Kasi isang bukas lang contaminated na lahat iyun. Sana yung may palaman na rin. In case late ang rasyonng pagkain. Pwede mo pa i-share sa ibang pasyente. 5. Table napkin or kitchen towel—huwag tissue kasi napakanipis nito. Madali masira ang Tisyu. Pero kung kitchen towel or table napkin, sapo laha

BookSale Online Na

  Sa totoo lang, tambay ako ng Book sale. Ang mahal kasi sa National. Sa Booksale, pre-loved pero bagsak presyo. Noon, kapag nakabisita, halos buong araw doon sa loob, kasi nagbabasa na rin kahit nakalagay na 'No reading.' Mga sampu siguro yung librong mapipili ko kahit isa lang naman yung mabayaran ko duon. Pag malapit ng yung closing time, ilalagay ko sa pinakadulo yung mga best books na hindi ko mabibili. Papatungan ng ilan pang mga libro para walang makakita. Feeling ko kasi mababalikan ko pa ulit yun sa susunod na sweldo. Pero as usual pag balik ko wala na ito doon. Ok lang kasi marami naman ulit magandang titles, at ganun pa din, isa lang din ang mabibili ko. Tulad ng ibang businesses, kailangan mag adjust ng Booksale. May market naman talaga sa Shopee na maaaring ma-tap. Even yung National at Fullybooked ay online na rin. While iba pa rin yung pag flip ng books at pag rummage sa mga shelves, dahil sa pandemya, it's safer to buy online muna. HIndi ko lang alam

Hallypop now in GMA!

I am a big fan of music but I was never into  # Hallypop   or   # Kpop   when it started. The last   # Jpop   I listened to was Shonentai, i caught the fever while in Tokyo in 1989. I heard about Girls Generation and Wonder Girls in Christmas Parties but never really took interest. Many of my officemates are into it, but I didn't really cared that much. Then my pamangkins grew up and started liking Kpop like crazy. They were talking about Twice, BTS, Ikon. So to understand them and get to  talk to them, I studied Kpop like Phd. You know, get all the dirty details, too, I mean deep dive into each group and sub groups. Now, I get to talk to them about Kpop or their favorite groups, buy stuff they'll really appreciate plus it preps me for new possibilities. Now that GMA will have a new channel for this market, I won’t have to parachute or rush my way into learning about this genre/market. Because, yes I am the market, too. Hahaha, hindi niyo lang alam. GMA Hallypop will feature As

My trip to Siargao

It's been a while since I last took a flight from #CebuPacific.  But I have to say the ride was smooth and fun. I have no complains about the legroom.  You can buy snacks on-board.  There was even a game and winners bring home prizes. The ride \from Sayak Airport to General Luna, SIargao took about 45 minutes. We were billeted at the #ApsarasTribeSiargao.   This island has a very laid back vibes.  Tryke to anywhere is P20 only.  No special rides.  ATMs, there were about three in this area.  But, if you have mobile wallet, you will be fine.    Siargao is a growing tourist destination.   Its charm lies within its beautiful beaches and laid-back vibe. In 2018, Conde Nast Traveler named Siargao as the best island in Asia. Surfers from around the world have made this place one of their top choice surfing destinations.                This nice lady is the Mayor of General Luna, Siargao.  Mayor Cecilia ‘Yayang’ Rusillon
