Phil. Science Centrum is located at E-Com Tower River Banks, Marikina

Plus, you'll get a chance to used ALL the facilities, with no additional fees. You get it right, it's really a HANDS-ON tour.

Family day at Starmall SJDM

It’s family day! I decided to treat the whole family. Starmall San Jose Del Monte recently opened last April, I’ve never been there so I decided to go there at Father’s day. Whoa! I really can’t believe there is already a mall established in SJDM. At first I thought it was a mini-mall, it’s not. It was huge more than I expected. And it really resembles a mall, not like what Victory Town Center at Sampol area is.

Brunch at Army Navy & Fun Activity at Laser Maxx

There was a successful launching of website with one of our clients, and for that the PFSweb, the company were I work decided to treat the whole Demandware team: Developers, Designers and QAs. It was a brunch(breakfast and lunch) at Army Navy and a fun activity at Lazer Maxx - LazerTag Arena.

From Ortigas, we travel to Greenhills, and honestly it’s my first time to go there. We were composed of about 40+ participants, so lucky for Army Navy they were chosen for our brunch. We were served with ice tea, fries and burger.

City Transformers at SJDM

CityTransformers is a conference headed by the 7 Bethel Churches at San Jose Del Monte (SJDM), under Philippine Assemblies of God (PAG) organization. Its main purpose it to unite all the Christian churches at SJDM whose center is Jesus Christ and to remove all the barriers that divides them. From the title itself, we want to bring out transformation in this city.

Government12 or commonly known as G12, is a movement that PAG started running for the past years. Our ultimate principles are as follow:

Celebration at Gringneth Restaurant

As a celebration for my younger sister's graduation day, we ate at Gringneth-Rd.1 Branch. We decided to eat there because we know that Jollibee and Mang Inasal will be jump-packed with graduates celebrating too.

And yes, I am not disappointed. Infact, I was ultimately satisfied. Nothing beats my favorite meal: Gringneth's Kare-Kare is the best.

Kare-Kare

P50.00

It's like tasting a bit of heaven here on earth, indeed. Whoa! It is much more yummier, tastier and delightful than the expensive Max's Kare-Kare which cost for about P358.00. 

Feb-ibig Commercial Characters

This coming February 26, 2012 there will be a Youth Convergence with the Theme: FEB-IBIG. The event will be participated by all the Bethel Churches at San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Every youth is encouraged to join in this Bethel Global Outreach (BGO) hosted event.

As part of the program, the production team comes up with making a short commercial about the topic that tackles “True love waits”. And I will show in this blog the chosen actors and actresses with their respective characters.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with no Valentine

February is the month of love as we all know. All the restaurants, stores and shop, wherever you go, you will feel that the love is in the air because every place was filled with red heart shapes, cupids, and couple figures. You will also observe the increasing demand for flowers and chocolates for this season as the prices were high.

A Heart's Day Present

For those who are in a relationship, it’s their month. What’s the typical couple should do for this season? I don’t need to mention them all here. Hehe

Pambihirang Harvest

After more than a month of preparation, the waiting has come to an end. The Bethel Global Outreach (BGO) celebrated its eleventh anniversary last February 12, 2012 with the theme Pambihirang Harvest (Exceptional Harvest).

The church decided to do the concept of a classic Fiesta (Pinoy-style feast). The whole venue was surrounded with yellow banderitas. The stage was build up with bamboos and the center stage was even designed like a façade of a bahay kubo (nipa hut).

First BGO Cosplay: Masquerade Ball

The first ever Cosplay event was held at Bethel Global Outreach with the theme: Masquerade Ball. It had more than a hundred of participants, guests and newbies from the two youth service last January 29, 2012. With their most fashionable attire, the youth participants have worn their fabulous masks: of different colors, shapes, styles, and shine.

The Production Team

I like the fact that the youth really prepared for this event as the ladies even put make up on their face, some curled their hair, worn dazzling accessories, borrowed and rent a cocktail dress that they can wear. On the other hand, even the gentlemen prepared for this with their cool masks, clean-cut and waxed hair, and formal attires.

Here is the glimpse of the youths who participated for the masquerade ball:

My Personal Testimony

All my life revolves to one thing: to give satisfaction and pleasure to my parents. Yes, I always wanted to obey them, to give them honor and make them proud. I know my purpose and it is to finish studies with good grades, have a good work, and to serve them in return. And I believe this doesn’t come into a disappointment for them. I’m not a hard-headed child, I followed their ambition for me, because I love and owe them so much.  I am also in love with world, all the fun, its desires and pleasures. That’s how my vision and purpose in life is all about before until…

During my vacation in first year highschool somebody invited us in a church at Lawang Pare, the old “Word of Hope”. I attended their Vacation Bible School, I enjoyed the activities there and I graduated with honor on my class. Since then I started joining their youth jam during Sundays. I participated in the tambourine ministry, dance ministry, and I even participated at a conquest (I don’t know that term before). 

My first Timex 5km Marathon

Time is running: the slogan for this year’s Timex Marathon held last Jan. 22,2012 at Bonifacio Global City. . I was there with my 7 co-employees, Boss and the other 13,000+ participants. The star-studded event was joined by the fabulous Ms. Tessa Prieto, ex-PBB housemate Will Devaughn, Berwin Meily the magician, Senator  Pia Cayetano and no other than Timex’ endorser, Piolo Pascual who ran 10k for only 47.50 minutes.

Just take a look at my outfit for this event. You see I’m not really a professional runner. I not wearing a running shoes and I am wearing a maong shorts. That’s what I called: ‘Porma at tiis ganda’. But I am so grateful I now have a suitable singlet(jersey) XS size for me. It’s also a dream come true. Haha

My Greatest Support System

This is the article I submitted on my School of Leaders 1 assignment. It was about my family, my deepest thoughts and I want to share it with you.

 I was born on a simple yet complete family.  I have a loving mother, a handsome father, 2 gorgeous sisters and 1 responsible brother.

We are not a perfect family. My mom is a jolly, caring, loving, responsible and supporting and as they say, she was very hospitable. She has this power to please other people (how I wish I’ve got at least a little of that, hehe). She was the type of a mother that I couldn’t ask for more. She chose to stay inside our house to take care of us rather than talking with “chismis” outside. She was the wind beneath my wings.

The Auditions

The Bethel Global Outreach is looking for bright and talented members in the newest ministry established in the church, the production team. Last January 4, 2012, the Bethel Global Outreach (BGO) conducted an audition for multimedia, design, ushers and emcees. Also, the Theosebes Dance Crew (TDC) had an audition for members. The auditions were joined by many BGO members, of all ages.

Just to give you a glimpse of the roles and responsibilities of the production team, here it goes:
