Angkas Introduced First Motorcycle Ambulance Service | Angkas Buhay

Yes, there are more ride-hailing choices now for the frustrated commuter like me, since UBER. I sorely miss UBER. It makes travelling from point a to point b easier when I don't feel like driving my car. And it's way cheaper than GRAB. But with this traffic, you need an effective transport system. My friend says it works okay and definitely a lot faster if there is traffic.

Although I have yet to try ANGKAS, the fastest-growing motorcycle-hailing app service in the Philippines according to some, I'm not totally abolishing the idea. But motorcycle riders have one foot in the grave they take to the road, they say.

Why The Grinch WiIl Hit You Right In The Feels

Okay, in my defense, I was a kid when I first heard about The Grinch. I opted for inspirational films so I did not include this on my list. Anyway, if you're still unfamiliar with the Grinch's story, let me just make this clear. Although the story was created for kids, you'll definitely be crazy about it as an adult.

When I got an invite a week ago to see the premier of The Grinch , I was like, "Okay, I'll give this one a chance." So I went to see the movie with my 10, 11, and 13 years old.

This Delivery Service Is Perfect For The Holidays

"Who will buy the cake? Are the gifts ready? How are you going to be at one party to the other at the same time?"
The Holidays are almost here and everyone's throwing a party to celebrate the year with family and friends, including me!  And if this momma isn’t already overloaded, I can include the kids to triple the to-do list by infinity.

Actually, it’s not so bad-----when you got, well, extra pair of hands! Apparently, this single-parent-on-weekdays momma needs clones. Moms like me are swamped with chores, work, kids, life and I have these “Omg, it’s already 5pm, I have to pick up the kids, but no dinner yet” moments. That feeling is never okay at any time of year, especially on Holidays!

A Modern and Eco-Friendly Resting Place

A sea of people in crowded cemeteries and congested memorial parks . . . this is the usual sight that greets us each time we head for the resting places of our dear departed family and kin on Nov. 1 and 2 each year.
Add to this the tedious task of cleaning and maintaining their gravesites and we start to wonder if there are other loving, less traditional—but more convenient—ways we can honor their memories.

Thankfully, Filipinos have become increasingly inclined to consider the columbarium as practical and more sustainably sound resting places for our dearly departed—options that also give us a chance to make a lasting and positive impact on the environment.

Get Your Own Chupa Chups Super Mega Lolly On Shopee

I lived in a small village in Manila for the early years of my life. There were fun fun things I remember as a child while I lived there. Waking up with the sun shining directly on my face in an upstairs room and plus a lolly in my hand. Yep. A lolly. In the morning. As a nostalgia nut, there’s nothing like the 80s. Indeed, it was a superior year for me. I actually spent time with friends and family members playing Atari with a lolly in my mouth.

I've loved candies and lollipops back then, and I still love them today.
You have no idea how happy I was when I got an invite to attend a super mega launch and saw things from the past. A childhood favorite turns 60, how cool is that?

The limited edition Vivo V11i Fairy Pink shows you why Pink is Power

Pink is womanly and charming, warm and intimate. Pink tempers the fire of red with a mellow loving spirit. Pink calms and heartens our sensibilities, calming negative feelings of aggression, animosity, and cynicism. Pink composes the nerves which brings an overall feeling of love and tenderness.

But pink does not always represent femininity or superficiality. Pink, on the other hand, has become a symbol of feminine power with the color associated with female-centered advocacies such as championing breast cancer survivors and warriors against gender-biases.

Latest innovation in EdTech: Academe Philippine Online High School

Academe Philippine Online High School (APOHS), the first online open high school in the Philippines was recently opened catering to learners in grades 7 through 10. This was made possible through CDO-based school Little Me Academy's partnership with QUIPPER, a Japan-based, e-learning platform that gives learners a challenging and engaging digital curriculum that is also aligned to Philippine's K-12 Basic Education Curriculum.

Little Me Academy's Chief Education Officer, Teacher Ram Olandesca, noted that a large percentage of high-school age students and a considerable number of adults lack access to high school education due to several personal limitations, including location, work, and physical ability. "It is difficult or nearly impossible for the traditional, brick-and-mortar classroom to accommodate these learners,' Teacher Ram said. "But in an online learning environment, these limitations - from location to physical ability, from availability to age - are overcome."

APOHS students have the freedom to complete their 100% online coursework wherever they are in the world. Because lessons are modular, learners can work whenever they want and at their own pace. This is helpful for students who have fallen behind, optimal for those who want to get ahead, and accessible for any Filipino learner.

Teachers complement the digital curriculum of the school. "The faculty and staff at APOHS are highly qualified educators passionate about teaching, having undergone rigorous training for years at Little Me Academy," enthused Teacher Ram. "Little Me-an teachers are known throughout CDO for their dynamism, creativity, and outstanding communication skills. They'll bring that and more to the online school setting with tutoring, live instruction, corrective feedback, daily reminders, and check-ins."

Personal connections and communications are made possible through mandatory, weekly online meetings and in-person meet-ups. "With this," Teacher Ram said, "the APOHS learner gains not just the intellectual profits of a high school education, but the social and emotional growth of a complete high school experience."

"Relaying The Message Of Improvement And Not Just Change. "| Meet Angelo De Alban

Although a disqualification case was handed down to him right before the meet and greet session with the media, he did not back down and he will not back down. Nuisance or not.
Advocate, Lawyer, Educator, Angelo De Alban will join the senatorial race unaffiliated with any political party. He felt he is more liberated as a lawmaker.

Honestly, I'm not into politics. Passed up my chance to vote even. Why? Because I have always believed that politicians would just promise you the moon and the stars when they will actually fail delivering said promises. And so every human being will be feeling disappointed and betrayed even.
But could new and younger players to enter politics be effective this time? We need actual change now. For Angelo De Alban, improvement is much needed than change.
