Meeting the Puzzle Queen at the Puzzle Mansion

Puzzles may not be the in thing in this generation with the emergence of electronics and gaming. Some may find them more like kids' play or not challenging to many, but how many of us can even assemble a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle? How about 3000, 5000, or 32000?

Puzzling as it may seems but jigsaw puzzles is now an art and this is proven by a proud Filipina who now holds the Guinness world record for the largest collection of jigsaw puzzles which was awarded last 2012, Mrs. Gina Gil-Lacuna.  Her passion for this kind of hobby started 27 years ago and has made 1028 puzzle collection (as per record with Guinness and still adding up new ones). This one of a kind collection is not exclusive with the regular jigsaw puzzles but a whole lot more.

MUSIC LYF: John Rendez Returns to Rap Recording

With a lot of new rap stars now, its hard to find the artists who started with the "old school" style which paved the careers of rappers like Francis Magalona. But through the years, these rappers either shifted to a different genre or migrated to a different county which made the rap scene a little obscure and branched far from its roots.

Now a returning artist, John Rendez came back to launch his new album under Polyeast Records with the album "Metaldog". Not to be confused with Pitbull or Fliptop artists, John Rendez wants to be known in the music industry with that title with his rap which brings the sound style of the 90s and upgrades that can grab the attention of the present generation.

He might be on the same age range of he popular rap artists, he is very confident that his style stands out among the hiphop artists now. With his first album relased back in the 90s, he still have what it takes to make good tracks that can get the attention of the new rap generation.

REEL DEAL: Iliw SPOTLIGHT

Iliw is a full-length narrative feature inspired by true stories of Japanese-Filipino-American War in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines from 1941-1945.  Since World War II, Japanese people have been misunderstood.  They have always been pictured, described, defined, and judged as the ultimate enemy in the horrors of war. 

As cinema is a very powerful medium for transformation, the film is written in such a way that it will be a very potent tool for education/re-education and re-orientation of the collective mind of all the Filipinos in the Philippines and all over the world.  In this case, the film redefines the social connection of Japan and the Philippines and manifests the social, spiritual, and cultural intricacies and diversities that help shaped the Japanese war period in the Philippines specifically in Ilocos Sur.

Iliw takes advantage of the technology, it uses High Definition camera with an adapter PS Teknik so one can make use of  varied film lenses to achieve the 35mm film look,  thus making Iliw a 35mm Digital High Def-- a filmless film, indeed.

“Well in advance of SAVE ROCK AND ROLL’s arrival, Fall Out Boy created a genius campaign to maximize the critical and commercial impact their new album would have,” said Steve Bartels, President & COO, Island Def Jam Music Group, “and it worked every step of the way. It is a solid tribute to the creativeness and versatility of the Island staff that such eclectic and varied music projects by Fall Out Boy, Bon Jovi and Justin Bieber have all debuted at #1 this year – and there’s more on the way!”

GMA Network relaunches international channels in the Middle East


Filipino broadcast giant GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) has announced its upcoming relaunch in the Middle East as it shifts to a new carrier for the exclusive distribution of its international channels.

Following the recent launch of GMA’s international news channel GMA News TV International, GMA Pinoy TV - its flagship international channel and GMA Life TV - the first international Filipino lifestyle channel - will also be widely available in the Middle East Region via My-HD, a pay-TV platform based in Dubai, beginning May 1. 

“We have decided to make the GMA Channels more relevant to our viewers in the Middle East by providing greater value and better service in this key market,” said GMA Network Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia. “With this new partnership in place, we are now offering the GMA channels at a more affordable price and have made them more accessible to more Filipinos in the Region."

Francia added that, “While we have decreased our subscription rate from 32.00 to 25.00 US dollars, GMA subscribers and followers can expect even bigger things from the Network with the improved standards of our programming. The My-GMA package from My-HD includes not only the GMA international channels namely, GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV and GMA News TV International, but also up to 28 English language channels, 14 of which are in High Definition.”

With its strengthened programming and enlarged presence in the Middle East, the Network is confident that it will be able to further grow its subscriber base in the ME Region, which has the second largest population of Filipinos abroad next to North America.

In fact, a total of 40,000 digi boxes, which already contain the entire line-up of My-HD including the MyGMA package, are being given out for free to Filipinos all over the Middle East.

HEALTHY LYF:Fighting the Diet Shift

Aqiva partners with moms to help ensure proper nutrition for their children.


Every mom has her own story when it comes to feeding her child. With mealtimes becoming a common and daily struggle, moms have learned to cope with this problem in different ways. Some moms resort to bribing, giving treats or gifts whenever their child finishes his lunch. Other moms would tend to transform into “monster moms”, not yielding to their child’s refusal to eat. While others just give in, thinking that eating something unhealthy is better than not eating at all.

The Threat of the “Diet Shift”

Children are easily tempted by unhealthy food because to them, these foods seem to be more fun and exciting to eat, and taste better because of its flavors, colors and textures. This desire for unhealthy food heightens at age 4-7, as children start to make their own choices, and are able to voice out what they want. This is when the threat of the Diet Shift starts - the phase when the child may begin to prefer unhealthy food, or food that do not contain the right nutrients children need to keep their growth and development on track.

Merienda With Senatoriable Sonny Angara


Though I met a lot of celebrities and personalities, I do want to meet politicians, and future leaders of the country. As shapers of the future of the nation, I as a citizen would like to meet and ask them questions that has been in my mind, which could affirm my loyalty or change my support. 

In the past years, I have been able to meet some of them but would have so little time to ask them questions, since I was not yet a blogger back then. But now I was able to meet and know them more personally. Recently I met Senatoriable Sonny Angara, who is the son of Senator Edgardo Angara, and also a congressman in  Aurora Province. 

My family was associated with the Angaras back in 1998 elections, when Sen. Edgardo "Edong" Angara ran for Vice President, we did campaigning and postering in Laguna. My mother knows his Senatorial staff and at some point helped us when my father needed medical assistance. And last year, I met Sen. Angara at the Senate together with other bloggers. I notice that they both share the same passion as lawyers and the legistlature and working low-profile.

Support Your Senatoriables with #7Election at 7-Eleven


Elections may happen once every three years which makes it monumental at the same time changes the course of history. With a lot of people vying for positions in the government, it would be best that the people make wise decisions in choosing the right candidate for the job.

With surveys showing standings of candidates, results varies but it would also let you think what the majority would go for. Surveys are OK for me, but it also serves as a challenge for other candidates that their campaign may not be enough to convince people to vote for them. I know that there are a lot of candidates worthy of the position especially in the senate. And most of them were not even unheard throughout the campaign period.

But what if there’s a speaker that offers high audio quality, portability and style? Would it earn a place in your sound-loving hands?
