Pinoy pride is one of the things that immediately unites the nation, and this is often brought by Filipinos making it big in the international stage. When it comes to sports, there is a long list of Filipino athletes that have done the country proud including the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Hidilyn Diaz, Efren “Bata” Reyes, Carlos Yulo, and the Philippines Men’s Basketball Team. With their innate talents, sheer determination, and iron will, they bring pride to the country, and inspire and create better opportunities for young athletes to also rise to the top of their game.

MaARTe 2013: Exhibition and Sale of Museum-Quality Philippine Arts & Crafts

Posted by Ria Hazel on 1:42 AM in art, culture, fair, MaARTE, MaARTe 2013, museum, National Museum, pinoy pride, Proudly Pinoy, Rockwell Tent, trade,

The Louvre, Paris, Guggenheim in Las Vegas - These two are the top destinations abroad when it comes to museums. In the Philippines, the most popular to date are the Ayala and Yuchengco museums, located near shopping malls and hotel complexes. As an art aficionado, a recent visit to the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar made me more interested in our culture and heritage. But here in Manila, you don't have to look further just to experience art and culture because government owned National Museum can teach you a lot about our history.

Kroketten at the SM Mall of Asia

To be totally honest, I first heard about Kroketten from the PR that was sent to me. During one of our make-up workshops in Mall of Asia, Krystle and I noticed an orange and blue booth at the South Parking Area that was filled with customers left and right. We were intrigued and thought to stop by. And finally, Kroketten was finally introduced to our taste buds.

Climate Change Commission Hosts Lorax Screening

Posted by Ria Hazel on 11:49 PM in Climate Change Commision, environment, event, movie, pinoy, pinoy pride, Proudly Pinoy,

Excited to meet The Lorax :)

The Lorax speaks for the trees. Like the Climate Change Commission, he takes care of the environment as a guardian. So last March 17, a special screening at IMAX SM North EDSA was held for the children and young at heart to promote a healthier environment and to promote the latest educational video to be shown in all cinemas of SM and Ayala Malls.

The R.E. Troopers!

Climate Change Commission introduces the R.E. Troopers. They are the ones responsible for the air we breathe, the light that grows our plants, the soil that nourishes our crops and the water we drink. In the first video, we are introduced to its characteristics and who is the mightier that the other. After showing off their traits, they fused together and discovered that they are all important and their use is beneficial to all.

Everyone should care for our environment

The second video is about lighting a small town by using solar energy. When the townsfolk lost hope in having electricity in their place, two volunteers gave them the alternative to try solar power panels that give out energy. The small town rejoiced when they can finally have light during night time and was happy that their future generation can benefit from it as well.

As timely as the movie, The Lorax is a story about a boy named Ted who wants to get a tree for Audrey, the girl he likes. But as he lives at Thneedville, an artificial town where you buy the air you breathe and everything is made of plastic, finding a real tree is so difficult. His Grandma told him about the Once-ler who can tell him about them.

When he found the Once-ler, he told Ted about a long, long story of how the trees disappeared. And despite the warnings of the Lorax, he fails to filfill his promise and went overboard that it affected the dwellers of forest and the surroundings. The Lorax left him with a word "unless" and made him figure out what it means.

Will Ted see a real tree? And will the Lorax redeem himself from his mistakes? This very educational movie will make you laugh, oogle at the effects and get emotional. You will learn to be wary of your surroundings and take good care of Mother Earth.

With Ms. Earth-Water 2011

Again, thanks to the Climate Change Commission for screening this awesome film. Their videos also made us more aware in addressing climate change and taking care of our environment. After all, its not too late to speak for the trees and our natural resources.

Held at MGM Grand Arena, May 7, 2011. (May 8, Manila Time)

Charice Pempengco sang the Philippine National Anthem.

At the 11th round, Manny Pacquiao leads his score at 107, while Sugar Shane Mosley at 100. During its 3rd round, everyone thought that it was an easy fight when Mosley was knocked down.

A huge success for the Filipino pride. Manny Pacquiao did it again with unanimous decision, defending his welterweight champion title of the world. Congratulations for beating his own and a new record for his division :D
