Bye, 2015!



Bye, 2015!  You've been so good to me.  Thank you for all the memories and lessons.
Thank you, Lord.


Gucci Canvas Tote: To sell or not to sell?


I said it before.  I will say it again.  

When it boils down to giving up one in order to make room for another.

Should I say goodbye to you?



Description:  Gucci Supreme Canvas Tote Bag
Color:  Dark blue and grey
Material:  Coated GG canvas (resistant to dirt and scratch), with leather straps
Type:  Medium tote bag, all-around bag, made in Italy 
Interior:  Cloth lining, one inner pocket, zipper 
Condition:  Very good condition, well-maintained (I bring my bags to Doctor Leather for cleaning. A visit also includes checking of the leather lining/trim for any signs of wear and tear.)

I bought it from a Gucci boutique along Canton Road in Hong Kong.  It is a sturdy bag that can hold stuff, e.g., wallet, cellphone, cosmetic kit, small folding umbrella, and a 12 oz. water tumbler.  At times, I use it to carry A4-size documents stacked in a hard folder or magazine pages (to keep the documents neat).  

For the bag's sentimental value, I have been thinking about selling it to a friend who knows how to take care of bags.

Design Challenge #1


How to transform a small living space into a (minimalist) halfway home?  


This kept me up for two nights in a row, since I want to tackle this gargantuan task as a personal project. I am not an interior designer by profession, but the inclination to transform a small room into a living space with a homey vibe is strong...Too much Star Wars, perhaps.  'The force is strong with this one.'  

I am also starting to enjoy visiting home stores in the Metro and online.  It is beginning to feel like the 'new normal.'  #MarriedLife  #MidLifeActivities

Any suggestions?

LG and ONE Championship Unite for Charity



Consumer electronics giant LG Electronics teamed up with the world’s most exciting mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, ONE Championship to bring about the intense “ONE Championship: Spirit of Champions” match to the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Headlining the much-awaited Heavyweight World Champion Division were top-ranking heavyweight champions, Brandon “The Truth” Vera versus Paul “Typhoon” Cheng. Vera conquered the octagon and was thus crowned as the ONE Championship Heavyweight World Champion. LG also presented the Flyweight match between Ana Julaton and Irina Marzepa, with Marzepa emerging as the winner.

Prior to the match, LG Electronics and ONE Championship visited Pangarap Foundation in Manila. This foundation provides shelter and care for underprivileged children, as well as livelihood training programs to ensure a self-sufficient future. Pangarap Foundation kids were thrilled to meet MMA legend and ONE Championship Vice President Rich Franklin, who taught them the basics of dodgeball, an American schoolyard classic.

After a fun afternoon of play, LG unveiled another surprise for the foundation: a premium Smart TV, with free access to epic ONE Championship matches and thousands of other materials, set up in the facility’s common area. Access to the LG Smart World App Store will greatly contribute to the kids’ recreational and bonding activities.

20th Alaska Football Cup Championship


Two decades of commitment with the world’s most popular sport, Alaska Milk holds the 20th Alaska Football Cup at the Alabang Country Club in Ayala Alabang Village for a three-day event, November 28 – 30.

The biggest football event for young athletes attracted players of all ages, from as young as six years old. They have gathered to participate in one of the longest-running and most successful grassroots-development programs in the local football scene.

“This marks another monumental event for Alaska. We have 410 teams and a total of 6,150 football players together in one venue, all united by their love for football,” shares Wilfred Uytengsu, President and CEO of Alaska Milk Corporation. “It is of great pride to witness how the Alaska Sports Program has engaged young athletes into this kind of culture, and how they live by the values inherent in sports,” he further adds.

The Alaska Football Cup is one of the highly anticipated annual football tournament for today’s young athletes. The weekend event will be played with more than 800 seven-a-side games, in 29 football fields, and officiated by over 168 game officials.

School teams and football clubs from all over the Philippines including Masbate, Baguio, Negros Occidental, Cebu, Davao, Palawan, Legaspi, Laguna, Batangas, Bukidnon, Zambales, Pampanga, Tarlac, Ilocos, Bicol, Romblon, Davao Sur, Compostela Valley, Quezon, Cavite, Albay, Pangasinan, Bacolod, Iloilo, Mindoro and Metro Manila will participate.

Alaska on developing the child’s “winning form”
Alaska Milk encourages sports engagement, as it instills the values of determination, discipline, hard work, team work and sportsmanship during the early stages of a child’s life. Participation in sports like football helps them achieve the “winning form”, which has been Alaska’s goal for children since it launched its first football cup tournament in 1995.

Football provides an active alternative for children in place of passive activities such as watching television, surfing the Internet, or spending too much time on social media. The National Nutrition Survey of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) reported that health issues are best addressed by adopting an active lifestyle along with healthy diet, and regular drinking of milk, at least twice daily.

Sports tournament like this develops the athletic and social skills of participants through healthy competition among the same age group, while it boosts physical and mental development. Become an inspiring athlete too and join Alaska’s sports programs - NUTRITION. ACTION. CHAMPION.
