Imagine...ASTORIA BORACAY

Imagine this.

You are holding hands with your partner and strolling by the beach. White sands kissing your feet while the amazing sun caressing your skin with enough warmth. Again, you are here in this familiar place where nature's beauty meets the beautiful people.

From among the people, this lady approaches you telling you that you get an invite to a free lunch(yes, FREE) in their hotel. She just asks you to provide some personal information and you and your partner will get to enjoy the free lunch in this relatively newly-built ASTORIA BORACAY. Seems like a wonderful dream indeed.

Just imagine it's true.

So there you are and your girl just entered the modern-designed hotel. It's architecture may be simple yet elegant. The hotel's entrance has a welcoming dining hall with furniture that compliments the awesomeness of the place itself. Even with Astoria's reputation and prestige, this Astoria Boracay can even cater to not just to the upper class denizens. 

The room rates are reasonably cheap considering the 5-star accommodation each guest and members will enjoy. Yes, they also have membership for those who can't get enough of ASTORIA BORACAY. But WAIT, (yes, you guessed it right) there's more. Their membership would not only let you get very low discounts in their Astoria Hotels and Condominiums in the country but also in hotels from a hundred different countries. Did I mention the freebies and discounts you can also get from other establishments? 

Now, let me help your imagination with these pictures I have gathered for you. Watch out, your jaws might drop.  












So this is the part where I will have to stop you from just imagining. Do something to make it come true. Get in touch with ASTORIA BORACAY now!

Thank me later. :-)

On Priorities, Mayonaise, and Coffee

I was just taking my doze of surfing the net when I read a very motivating analogy from one of the blogs I follow. I got so moved and impressed by it that I am re-posting it here on my blog. I hope it is going to inflict the same effect to my followers (if I have any, hehe).
The post was by someone named Dennis of Act Like A Man. Read on and I hope you'll like it. I did.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,
When 24 hours in a day is not enough;
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.

When the class began , wordlessly,

he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and start to fill it with golf balls.


He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.


The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again
if the jar was full. They agreed it was.


The professor next picked up a box of sand
and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else

He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded
With an unanimous ‘yes.’


The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.


‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things – Family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions < BR>Things that if everything else was lost
and only they remained, your life would still be full.


The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else
The small stuff.

‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued,
‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
important to you.


So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time
to clean the house and fix the dripping tap.

‘Take care of the golf balls first –
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand
and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’

Pacman Sings "IMAGINE" for Margarito??



One good thing with us Filipinos is our knack for singing. Most, if not all, Filipinos know how to carry a tune.

Another good thing about us, Filipinos, is Manny 'Pacman" Pacquiao. I am one of the many people who have watched this lanky hair-dyed fighter exchange blows with almost everyone who wants a piece of him in the ring. Now this fighter is now one of the most exciting boxer there is. Even if that Mayweather kid brags to be the best, he will never be as exciting as The Pacman.

Now, Pacman will again climb into the ring for his countrymen and face another Mexican. Even with the controversy, The Tijuana Tornado should not to be taken lightly. Although there is a chance Antonio Margarito may find it difficult when he finally tests the scales the day before his Nov. 13 appointment with Manny Pacquiao at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, still, he can make it difficult for Manny.

Aside from boxing, this great Southpaw from the Philippines can also sing. Well, not as Charice Pempengco great or Lea Salonga spectacular though. Nonetheless, let's just give him that, as long as he can make Margarito kiss the canvass come fight night.


(This is my very first post with a video since I just recently discovered how. Amazing, right?! Hehe)
