Filipino Words Every Filipino Must Know

     This circulated on email at my workplace more that 5 years ago and found it saved on my old hard drive which I was trying to clean up earlier today.  Although a bit old, I think most of you -- especially those who can speak and understand the Filipino language quite well -- shall find this educational as well as entertaining.

     Most Filipinos are bilingual (even trilingual) and speaks fluently the two official languages of the Philippine which are Filipino and English.  But even if Filipino comes as the first language, there's a big probability that most Filipinos have not yet fully discovered the intricacies and semantics of this beautiful language which is a combination of many different tongues.

     And so, just in case you guys need further education in the Filipino language, here are some words that I think you must compel yourself to learn:

Mark Zuckerberg Endorses Friendsheet Facebook App

     Hey guys, what's up?  When I logged in to my Facebook tonight, I saw that there was an update from Facebook's Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg.  Facebook's CEO apparently liked this app called Friendsheet which got me curious so I explored it up a bit. 

Friendsheet claims to be "An amazing new way to browse your Facebook photos."

Almon Marina at SM Megamall

     What happens when two perennial late comers agreed to watch a movie?  Well, they arrive not on time but AT the same time!  Ehrr, almost, LOL! -- and because I got there first, I bought the tickets and while waiting for Madam to show up, also bought some popcorn using my Smart Rewards points.

     "The Vow" will start at 10PM and since we have more than an hour spare, we looked for a restaurant where we can have some light dinner.  That's how we found this interesting place:  Almon Marina Sandwich Bar & Deli.

The Almon Marina branch we visited is located at the GF of SM Megamall Building A.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Do

     We wear the best clothes, nicest shoes, and coolest accessories  We get a haircut and spend time to style our hair.  We take care of our skin and our faces.  We put on that designer scent before going out.  And to finish our look, we flash that bright, cute smile across our face.  As Martin Charnin once said,  "You're never fully dressed without a smile."  And that, dear friends, is absolutely true.

     A smile can change how our face looks like and even change our overall appearance.  And how we look DOES NOT only affect our self-esteem, or how we regard ourselves, IT ALSO influence the world's perception of us.  Many people, myself included, have not been so keen on smiling.  The worst reaction I got for not smiling often was people thought I was shy, and even worse, many perceived me to be indifferent.  Can you imagine that?  If only they knew that I just didn't smile frequently because I wasn't confident enough of my smile.

On picture:  Though Oprah Winfrey's teeth were never in terrible shape, it was rumored that she used  Invisalign braces at some point.

     But thank God for science and modern technology, many people can now smile more often because of Cosmetic Dentistry.

The Café Mediterranean at Resorts World Manila: A Review

     A day before my brother's Hong Kong and Macau vacation, he dropped by our Manila apartment so we can hang out and catch up on things.  He kinda missed our usual comfort food (pasta and pizza) and so we looked for a new restaurant to try while we were at Resorts World Manila.

     After checking out some places and seeing what's on their menu, we found this restaurant that seemed worth the try.  Read on to find out if it really was...

     The Café Mediterranean is located on the 4th Floor of Newport Mall in Resorts World Manila and claims to be home of the best Mediterranean cuisine this side of the planet.  They boast of great tasting hummus, paninis, soups, pastas, kebabs, gyro plates, moussaka and moutabal for fresh, light and healthy meals.
