What better way to say “It’s Britney B****” is to have 17 awesome tracks in one album.

How do you celebrate a 10-year anniversary?

Music’s been my partner ever since. With the rise of music streaming, missing all my favorite beats is not anymore a problem. 

We all got hungry after hours of strolling around the mall, right?

And when it comes to food, I want them served pleasing, and satisfying.

If you’ve been to Ayala Cebu or Ayala Centrio CDO, you’ve probably heard of Hukad sa Golden Cowrie. 

(I heard they’re everywhere in Visayas and Mindanao)

Hukad offers our favorite Filipino dishes in a modern dining experience. 

I am positive you will love Filipino food more when you try their specialties.

Be sure to check out the nearest Hukad Sa Golden Cowrie.

They have the best customer service (especially in Ayala Cebu).

And oh, did I mention? They’re easy on the budget!

So, I was stalking Maine’s social media accounts (why? Because she’s cool. Dammit) and came across her account in ask.fm.

In my head, my world is a beautiful place where I live my life perfectly.

To improve our ability to get things done, we need to break these bad habits for us to be productive.

Bad Habits is to Bad Productivity, and Bad Productivity is to Bad Habits.

It’s time to break these bad habits and free ourselves from stress, additional effort, and sloth.

Some of us think that this is a great way to do more tasks in one setting. Multitasking may seem like a good idea, but this often leads to unproductiveness. Many things get started, yet nothing is done on time. It is best to concentrate on the most important task first, before starting something else.

One of the most common bad habits nowadays is to check our social media accounts while doing our tasks. This habit breaks our concentration whenever there’s a new post or notification. Keep your smart phones on silent mode, and log out from any social media sites whenever you’re on your desktop.

Having an unclean work or study area most likely equates to unorganized thoughts. Your concentration will certainly break seeing all the clutter in your area. It is best to work or study in a clean and spotless desk.

Another bad habit that breaks your concentration is eating snacks while working/studying.  Most likely you would get so consumed with what you’re eating, instead of what you are working. It is best to have a healthy meal or snack before working or studying.

This is one of the most common bad habits we all have. We tend to think that our task is supposed to be done, and think other fun things as well, or think what’s on the tube right now. Make it a habit to do self-reinforcement by talking positively to yourself. Make sure also, that you have got to walk the talk. Overcoming it takes a long while, but we also must enforce discipline into our own actions.

Some of us would start working on what’s on top of our files our desk, leaving the most important task behind since it’s on the most bottom part of the file. It is best to scan all the tasks that you need to do and make a checklist and rate them on its priority.

Before breaking all of the bad habits, access yourself first what bad habits you currently have and what habits you need to break to improve your productivity.

It is time you replace your bad habits with better ones.

It started when I have this friend who keeps on tweeting about this pizza place in Cagayan De Oro City. It’s called Pizza Freddo and she’s been blabbing about it personally and online! I honestly got curious and planned to check the place out.

We all have those days when we crave for something, and our taste buds would seek for a certain tang. This time, my taste buds are craving for carbonaras, so I tagged my two other buds to check out the place.

There’s another branch of Pizza Freddo in Gran Europa but the one we went to was the one in Patag, right in front of the day care center.

My friend ordered her favorite Carbonara Chicken, and I followed suit. I made a point to her that I have set my expectations high because of her constant blabbing on how good it is.

And alas, IT REALLY WAS!

I am no food critic, so I can’t describe how good it was with all those flourish words but all I can say is that my expectations were met. It succeeded my expectations, actually. All those craving I had was gone. It had the right cheesy taste that my taste buds enjoy. Not too much, and definitely not bland. I can say that their carbonara is definitely the best one I’ve tasted so far. 

And the aftermath? Well, look, Ma!

Their Carbonara’s are worth a hundred and thirty bucks and it was all worth it. Quality is indeed their recipe.

They also have other home-made pastas and pizzas as well, for a very reasonable price.

Go and check Pizza Freddo out!: http://4sq.com/1BTTFtQ

Everybody loves to indulge on cold waters especially during summer as their way to beat the summer heat. And what else will be better than dipping into it and feel refreshed?

In Iligan City, normally, when you ask the locals the best places to chill, common answers will be Tinago Falls, and Timoga.  However, there’s another place that is now getting a lot of attention from tourists and locals who wants to take a dip in a cold spring water during this scorching season.

Around 25 minutes from the City proper, Lawis Natural Springs is another hidden gem of the City. Located in Barangay Buru-un, Lawis will definitely satisfy your need to relax and unwind in a nature scenery.

Surrounded by tall coconut trees, a calming breeze from the springs will welcome you after a few minutes stroll from the main highway. The nature scenery is at its most charming and dipping in an icy-cool, crystal clear freshwater is the best part.

There are cottages that can be used, surrounding the natural springs, which ranges from P75 to a hundred bucks. Few mini-stores are present, and also Karaoke’s for those who would love to sing their hearts out while relaxing.

The narrow and rock-strewn path from the highway to the springs could’ve been better to provide easy access for the tourists, however, it can be considered as part of the challenge for those adventure-seeking nature lovers.

Lawis has a potential to be another well-known tourist spot in the region, and the best way to preserve this God-given gift, is to be well-disciplined in maintaining the cleanliness of our nature.

Alright. I think some of you might think that this post’s too childish or I am too old to blog about the Power Rangers, but hey, I’m still a kid at heart, and in case you haven’t noticed, all of your childhood cartoons/shows are being rebooted to the silver screen and into tv series as well. Not only Marvel’s superheroes are raking money, reviews and fans, but also, the Power Rangers franchise. The reboot of the first Power Rangers is currently in the works by Lionsgate (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.) which will be in theaters in 2016. Yeah, I am excited about that, but that’s not what this post is about.

The new season of the Power Rangers is here, and I must say, it’s a lot different from the last two seasons since Saban bought back the rights of the franchise from Disney.

I’ve read a lot of negative comments, and reactions from fans about Power Rangers Samurai and Megaforce (including that awful Super Megaforce), and that includes me. I literally had to skip these two seasons and prefer watching the Sentai or the Japanese counterpart of these seasons. Samurai and Megaforce was dropdown horrible, from acting, to dubbing, and most importantly, the storyline.

This new season titled Power Rangers: Dino Charge, judging from its pilot, will be a good season. Take note of the opening credits! No more roll calls, the casts pauses and smiles to the camera like what we usually see in the first few seasons of the Power Rangers series, and the awesome editing of the clips that fit to the series’ new/revamped theme.

“Powers from the Past”, the season’s pilot, begins with two teenagers, Tyler and Shelby, finding themselves in possession of powerful Energems, ancient artifacts that date back to the times of the prehistoric age. It is not long before the two find themselves under attack from monstrous forces seeking to acquire the Energems.

For starters, all of the cast is good-looking. They are all telegenic. If you are all about the actors’ looks, the red ranger, Brennan Mejia, looks like Zac Efron in side view. That alone is enough… I guess. Acting, you say? Well, I think that they are definitely better than the casts of Megaforce. (Camille Hyde, the pink ranger’s acting skills, is fairly promising.)

Regardless of how cheesy the show is, I always look forward for the story-line, and Dino Charge has IT. It has a rich story-line that would make us think of what will happen next, or who will be whom. It makes our minds work even it’s just a television show for kids.

I thought I’d give up rooting for the Power Rangers series, but Dino Charge definitely made me stick to it for a bit longer. I guess we all have to thank Judd “Chip” Lynn for coming back as the producer and giving us a good pilot for this series.

It’s February again!

Love month is here!

YEY!

I usually don’t do this in my blog… like ever!

But this time I want it to be different.

I’ve compiled 5 of my original songs (all dedicated to my partner Yohan) and 2 of cover songs we did/worked together despite our distance (Cebu-CDO).

Feel free to check them out!

Check out my new track “Happy Happy Ending” from my new EP “MIO”

CELEBRATE THE LOVE MONTH WITH SMILES EVERYONE!

Alas! 2014’s over! After my yearlong absence from this blog, I will try my best to post something from time to time.

Since 2015’s here, I want to share with you all my Top 10 Most Played tracks of 2014! Since the beginning of the past year, I use iTunes to monitor my number of plays for all of the tracks I downloaded this year.

Some of the tracks in this list were released in 2013 but became successful in the first quarter of 2014.

So, here’s my Top 10 Most Played Tracks of 2014.

10. Lady Gaga - Do What You Want (feat. Christina Aguilera)

This may not be the official version off of Gaga’s album, ARTPOP, but this alternate version is the bomb! I was excited to see Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera singing live on The Voice. But, didn’t they have a feud or something?

Fave Line:

Gaga: “Do what you want with me…”

Xtina: “What you want, Lady Gaga?”

Gaga: “What you want wit me, Christina?”

Ooohhhh!!! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

9. Frozen - Do You Wanna Build A Snowman

Call me child-like, but this song definitely hit me. Oh, the feels…

Fave Line:

Elsa: “Go Away, Anna!”

Anna: “Ok, bye…” :’(

8. Conchita Wurst – Rise Like A Phoenix

I heard about this bearded lady that trended for a few weeks on Twitter. I mean seriously, a bearded lady? I soon found out that that bearded lady is Conchita Wurst, the winner of 2014’s Eurovision. And I gotta admit, this winning piece is a gem!

Fave Line: “You are warned, once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn, you know I will Rise Like A Phoenix!”

7. Beyonce – X.O.

Beyonce’s visual album is undeniably one of the surprising albums released. Among all tracks, X.O is by far my favorite. Awesome Song, Horrible Music Video. I mean, come on!

Fave Line: “Your face is all that I see, I give you everything…”

6. Ariana Grande – Break Free (feat. Zedd)

Definitely my jam of the year! Zedd’s been my favorite producer since I heard his track “Stache”. His beats are my thing + Ariana’s awesome vocals = EARGASM!

Fave Line: This is the part when I say I don't want ya, I'm stronger than I've been before…”

5. Katy Perry – Unconditionally

No, I’m not a fan of Katy Perry’s PRISM album. My heart’s still attached to Teenage Dream. I don’t love this song, however, I do not dislike it as well. I’m stoked after finding out that I played this song numerous times already.

Fave Line: “I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through the storm I would

I do it all because I love you, I love you”

4. Kenzie Nimmo – Cool Kids (Originally by Echosmith)

I seldom adore YouTube covers, but after watching Kenzie Nimmo’s 6-second Vine to this track, I immediately fell in love with it. Yes, I have heard of the original, but I prefer Kenzie’s version because it’s more upbeat, despite the depressing lyrics of wishing to be one of the cool kids.

Fave line: “I wish that I could be like the Cool Kids, coz all the cool Kids, they seem to get it…”

3. FROZEN – For The First Time in Forever

Another Frozen soundtrack’s in my list, coz YES, I was so hooked with the movie. For me, this song is far better than Mandy Moore’s solo in Tangled.

Fave Line: “For the first time in forever

I could be noticed by someone…”

2 – Troye Sivan – Happy Little Pill

Been reading about this Australian hottie a lot of times on Twitter. I gave it a try and I surprisingly loved it! I’m not a fan of male singers, but Troye Sivan, somehow scrapped that out. I love the song, the music video, the meaning, EVERYTHING! Been raping the replay button numerous times!

Fave Line: “Bring color to my skies, my sweet little pill…”

1 – FROZEN – Let It Go

I think most of the people would vote this as Song Of The Year. This Disney Gem sung by Idina Menzel (not Demi Lovato’s crappy version) served as the anthem for the first to second quarter of 2014. Although it’s still being played and sung by kids, I can’t stop myself from singing along to the track’s hook.

Although this track was released in 2013, it became hugely popular 2014 and was named as Best Original Song in the Academy Awards.

Fave Line: “My power flurries through the air into the ground…”

There you have it! My 2014 in 10 songs!

Can’t wait for 2015!
