Confidently Beautiful with A Heart..

Just like what Pia W, our reigning Miss Universe said on her final Q and A, she want to raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness which is timely and relevant to my country which is the Philippines.


As of December 2015, there has been a tremendous increase in HIV infection in the Philippines with NCR as the highest infected city while my province, region 4 as the second. This is a sad reality in the Philippines, that eventhough we are coming out of ages, we are still ignorant and rampant about sexuality.



 

We may never knew it, we can never know if a person is HIV positive, they have no signs, no symptoms...its a silent killer, it will kill you at its own time...without you knowing how, when and why you acquired it.
We are faced in the situation where no one seems to care but only those who are infected already, maybe because they knew how it is, to stay alive with the disease. They remain focused to stop this endemic, to stop the numbers of those being infected day by day. Sooner or later, we will be facing the most fearful situation, that almost all the population are already infected.
So what are we going to do now, its frightening to know our real status, but the advocates are saying that we should know it. With HIV, early treatment is a must and is an advantage.
Protect ourselves, be careful and remain faithful. That's the most important thing to do.
And we should stop the stigma, that people living with HIV are to be afraid of, that we might get the virus from them. We have to know the truth, we have to be knowledgeable. For it is through knowledge that we can prevent it from happening.
I am an advocate, it is my calling, and im willing to fight it, for the future generations, so that no Filipinos shall die of ignorance.
Let us raise awareness, let us speak, let us prevent.
If we love one another, we should extend our hands...

The L shaped Sofa

An L shape sofa is a sofa that is literally designed in the shape of an L. It is designed like this for a number of reasons, and is a great choice for many different kinds of living rooms. Many people are buying L shaped sofas these days, in fact, for all of the benefits they offer. So, in case you have not been able to witness these benefits firsthand, here they are! First and foremost, an L shape sofa gives you more actual sitting room than does a regular sofa. Why? Well, because there is simply more of it to sit on! There is the main section (much like a normal couch), then, there is the elbow (a very relaxing spot to sit, I might add..), and the rest of the L on the end...which is usually the size of at least a small loveseat. And since there is so much room on these pieces to sit, you can fit a lot more people onto an L shaped sofa like this than you could on a regular sofa. The next benefit that an L shape sofa gives us is the benefit of being more affordable. Now, at this, you ...

Make Me Home No.4

Welcome to Make me Home edition 4. Weve been doing the dining, living and kitchen already and i guess its proper to feature a bedroom as well. This time, i want to feature a bedroom which is so typical to a filipino setting where the bedroom is shared by siblings. It is a common fact that due to limited space and budget, room sharing is an option to a modest family. Though privacy may be a little bit of a problem when sharing a space, intimacy and healthy relationships can be strengthen by sharing a room with someone who are dear to us. This room may be bit of a challenge for me. When i saw the room, i thought, a bed with a pull out will definitely solve the small space problem. But, its kinda ackward for someone to sleep on the pull out right? In fact, sleeping in a pull out is just an option for a sleep overs. It will be greater and even righteous to give a bed to everyone so they can have a space of their own. So i envisioned a "chic retreat style" for th...

Tuesdays with Mati...

What a better way to spend a whole day than to spend it with closest friends. Since the plan was to held it on Tuesday, we filed our leaves and planned our foods. Admittedly, we are all very excited for we knew that its gonna be a whole day of fun and laughter. In fact, it's meant for celebration, for Tita Grace and Ely, two of our former colleague and closest friend recovering from medical treatment. These are the people who can probably say, I survived the challenge. Indeed, they are the strongest who fought and had won the battle against sickness. And i say, its time for rejoicing through great stories, great food and great place. The hosts, Atty Mati as we call him, and His wife, Myla, bought a 4000 sqm farm lot in San Felipe, Cuenca Batangas. It was a tremendous effort to transform this barren lot into a well developed sanctuary. And after two years, the place was heaven for the couple and their friends. Ive been here for several times. And on these three occassions, i cant he...
