The 2010 Binibining Pilipinas, an official Miss Philippines Beauty pageant held in Araneta Colliseum crowning three beautiful ladies for three major titles.

Binibining Pilipinas-Universe is Maria Venus Raj

Binibining Pilipinas-World is Czarina Catherine Gatbonton

and Binibining Pilipinas-International is Krista Arrieta Kleiner

The Beauty pageant was once again filled with some controversies. Many people are not in favor with Czarina Catherine Gatbonton to be crowned as Binibining Pilipinas- World because of her unsatisfying answer during the event’s question and answer portion. Just think of Janina San Miguel of the Binibining Pilipinas 2008. Anyways, despite of those controversies and issues, let’s just pray for they victory once they compete internationally in their respective fields.

I was rearranging my display cabinet yesterday and I found this cute little thing hiding on the corner of my figurines.

I got this as a small gift from my friend Dezzie’s wedding celebration. They were given to all their guests as a gesture of appreciation. This is memorable to me because I help my friend to decide what wedding favor they should be giving away. These are hand made products made by us. We bought all the necessary materials to be used in this wedding item. Distributing wedding favors has been a tradition to any wedding. These wedding favors are given during or after the wedding’s reception. Usually, it complements the theme of the wedding. It can be in any form of gift it which is either edible or not.

Just like this one. This soft and scented candle that I found on a website is perfect for a beach wedding. The shells inside this molded candle make it more appropriate in such summer or beach event.

I wonder what will be my wedding theme is?

Here, i prepared a seafood dish for you guys!Commonly, I used Lapu-lapu fish for this kind of dish. I just made some twist and make use of Tilapia instead Lapu-lapu.
Now here’s how to cook a Sweet and Sour Tilapia
Ingredients:

1 whole Tilapia, about 1.5 kg., scaled and gutted
salt and pepper. You can also vut it into pieces if you want to
1 tbsp. of cornstarch
3 cups of cooking oil for deep frying

For the sweet and sour sauce:

1 cup vinegar
1-1/2 to 2 c. of shaved palm sugar (or dark brown sugar)
½ tsp. of salt
1 tbsp. of very fine strips of ginger

For the garnish:
1 onion, finely sliced
1 small carrot, julienned
a thumb-sized piece of ginger, julienned

1 tbsp. of sesame seed oil

Celery

Make the sweet and sour sauce. Place the vinegar and sugar in a small pan and set over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves. Swirl the pan and boil over medium heat for 15 to 25 minutes or until syrupy. Add the salt and ginger during the last five minutes of cooking.

While the sauce cooks, prepare the fish. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Cut three to four diagonal incisions about half an inch deep on both sides of the fish (what is referred to as “scoring”). Season the fish with salt and pepper, rubbing inside the cavity and incisions. Dust with cornstarch or tapioca starch.

Flip the fish when the underside is done and fry the other side for even cooking and texture. Scoop out the fish and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving platter and scatter the prepared garnishes on top. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the fish and vegetables.

However, even the wrinkles are uncontrollable, we can do something about it to make it less visible or we can remove it completely. Wrinkles are a sign of skin aging but there are many ways to get rid of it. There are many useful ways to treat wrinkles. Most common is by undergoing surgical procedure where surgeons are using special apparatus to treat wrinkles. Most popular surgical procedure would be facelift and botox. However, these procedures are very expensive. If you want less expensive procedure, you can use anti aging products. These wrinkle treatment products are available in any drug store. Not all anti aging product works effectively. Some are just imitation while others are less effective. There are rumors that wrinkle creams causes wrinkles instead of curing it.

It is pretty hard to imagine that my Uncle is now 47 years old. First, he’s still in good shape. Second, he’s actively participating in sports like basketball and lastly, I never seen him complaining about back and muscle pains. I am pretty amazed! I wonder what his secret is. I want to grow old like him and I getting more and more curious. You can never see any signs of aging on him and this made me realized that maybe, my uncle is taking Human Growth Hormone supplements. I heard a lot of things about this kind of medicine and how much it can help. The main purpose of this Human Growth hormone is to reverse the sign of aging and make it less noticeable. These medicines are scientifically approved to stimulate the growth and cellular regeneration. However, we must be aware that not all supplements will guarantee you a satisfying result. Some cheap medicines are proven less effective or no effects at all while other may have human growth hormone side effects. The most important things to consider in buying such product is the quality, ingredients used, safety and effectiveness. Of course, we do not want to waste our money to buy ineffective products right? Just be observant and that’s all what it takes!

It is pretty undeniable that our very own Filipino “Flash” Nonito Donaire is probably the next Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines after successfully depending his title as “World Super Flyweight Champion. He was born in Talibon, Bohol, raised in General Santos City in the Philippines, and moved to the United States at the age of ten. I guess there are lot of great fighters in the area of Mindanao knowing that Manny is also from General Santos City. Currentl Nonito is the WBA interim World Super Flyweight champion, and is rated by The Ring as the number 6 pound-for-pound best boxer in the world. Last February 13, Nonito Donaire succesfully depend his title against the boxer Manuel “Chango” Vargas. With these numerous achievements, no doubt, Nonito Donaire is our next Pinoy Champ! Proud to be Pinoy!

Staying fit and healthy is one of my goals. My mom taught me everything, since I was a kid, all the proper way of taking care of my self. I am a health conscious guy. I choose what I eat, drink and wear. I think first before doing any action. I exercise regular to stay fit and achieved a satisfying body build. I eat vegetables and fruits and other healthy foods which are very important because they are great source of nutrients that we need for our body. Natural vitamins that we can get from the food we eat are great but not enough that is why I take multivitamin supplements to keep my self healthy. We need vitamins as it helps us physically achieving great strength and stamina. Aside from the physical benefits we can get from natural vitamin or vitamin supplements, it can also help us mentally knowing that vitamin plays a very important role in rapid brain developing (for kids) and prevent memory gap.

We are blessed with freedom of choice. To choose the type of life you will lead is your God-given gift. If this were not so, you would not be capable of expressing individual talents and personality. We are free to choose an affirmative state of mind which,  according to Universal principle will manifest the “pleasures” of life or we may choose a negative state of mind, which manifest adversity.

The truth of your being is that God is seeking to express creativity through you, and he does through your mind when you let him. Our mind is an instrument of Divine Intelligence and we should be cognizant of the fact that we are able to do all things through infinite and creative wisdom of your mind.

When you take charge of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and project them in an affirmative manner, you automatically mold the success pattern of your future. Success is a state of mind. You control the degree of your success by controlling your thoughts. We have the right to choose the way in which we will think, feel and believe. Along with this choice goes the liability of experiencing what you have chosen. It is good insurance to choose to think affirmatively.

Summer is here but I think I am not ready for it yet. I just can’t go to the beach showing some ugly fats. I gained so much weight and I don’t have enough confidence to face my friends like this. It is a mark down for guys for girls if we failed to show them some good build in our body. I need to work it out and I have to go to a gym more often. I will minimize my foods and establish a balance diet. Aside from regular exercise and balanced diet, I think I should start taking some dietary supplements so that I can lose weight quickly. However, I am afraid to take the risk. I heard that some of weight loss products have side effects. I don’t want to regret it in the end that’s why I am conducting series of observation and do some research about the products before buying it. We should not be deceived by cheap prices because most of the time, these cheap items are those who have side effects and less effective. It would be great if you try to visit some forums discussing about which weight product is the best and how effective it is. You can search some reliable weight loss supplement reviews and serve it as your guide before buying or applying anything. Implementing these steps will surely gives me a very satisfying result and will makes me feel more confident this coming summer vacation!

Oh my! Can someone contact an expert psychologist for me coz i think i am an addict! Yup! you heard that right. I think i should undergo series of therapy or should be checked in a rehabilitation center. Well, rehabilitation center  is obviously in demand especially for celebrities. And since i am a self-proclaimed celebrity (Lols), i think i should try it too but unlike Steven Tyler who wen to rehab to cure his drug addiction or the famous and most controversial golf player, Tiger Woods, who checked in to rehab to cure his sex addiction (which is quite weird for me), i have a very rare case of addiction (hahaha). I am addicted to checkered polo.  If there’s one thing that you don’t know about me, that is i never go outside wearing plain t-shirts. I used to wear polo (checkered specifically) or hooded shirts. or if i will wear T-shirt, i usually cover it up with a vest. Want evidences?

Well, is it pretty obvious? haha Actually i bought 4 pieces of polo last Monday. I wish there’s a rehab that are specializing with this kind of concern! lolz. Have a great day Everyone!
