When we think about chocolate and bar supplies, most people would know thath they serve as mood booster; the boost one’s mood. for most girls, chocolates are even considered their ‘happy food’ or foods that are consumed when they are stricken by negative emotions such as sadness. aside from boosting a happy mood, consuming chocolates can also be good for the heart. Its properties increase the responsiveness of the blood vessels which in turn prevent heart disease. Chocolate can also help increase a person’s glucose tolerance. it contains anti-oxidants which are said to prevent cancer.
Though chocolate can be very beneficial,it is important to remember that too much of something is still bad. Take caution still in consuming chocolates because chocolate, just like any other substance, can be dangerous when eaten in extraordinary amounts. What was supposed to be beneficial, when consumed in great amounts than intended, becomes the very poison to the body.
Anyway, enjoy your chocolate and don’t be a glutton.

<Insert happy face here> I’m currently in Baguio right now and with Typhoon Mina at bay, I shouldn’t have expected a foggy City of Pines. To understate the situation, it’s practically raining cats and dogs here right now.
I arrived around 6 in the morning and it’s still raining here. I’m basically bunking myself here, inside Victory Baguio Terminal’s food court wondering why there were lots of people wearing slutty costumes. I gave up on the idea of hailing a taxi 10 minutes ago. People are getting berserk outwitting each other just to hail a taxi. And I stood outside for almost 30 minutes carrying all my things just to witness this extremely… entertaining (?) and somewhat frustrating phenomenon. Hey, I was snatched of my taxi more than two times!
Well, I’m sitting this one out ‘til it’s over. Good thing I charged my laptop or who knows what I’m doing right now. Hopefully, this extremely bad weather calms soon. And for my remaining days in Baguio, please be JUST foggy! Mister Sun, your presence will be greatly appreciated, too. See you soon!

Reality shows are now a big hit in television. From Survivor to Amazing Race, to Kardashians to Jersey Shore, television is now full of reality shows both good and bad, there’s even an episode where they tested out the best wedding planning apps. A lot of us watch these series because they captivate our attention. We watch these showed simply because they are entertaining and not because they are informative or educational. Sometimes, they don’t even make sense but still we watch them.
I watched the latest season of Jersey Shore and I admit I was addicted. It was a mixture of drama, violence, comedy, and sex. When I think about it, I really didn’t have much learning from the series except that I was a bit shocked from the culture of youth it depicts. I’m still a Filipina after all. But hey, it’s not that offensive to get me to change the channel.
Just recently, a friend introduced me to yet another reality series, Bad Girls Club which is by far a notch higher in drama, violence and sex compared to Jersey Shore. I’ve only watched 2 episodes of this series. Though I don’t fully understand the purpose of the series, I’m still anticipating every episode.

The Philippines and of itself has a very diverse culture on its own (not to mention a great collection of contemporary bathtubs) Despite there being general characteristics that could trademark us as Filipinos, there are still many distinct differences. And it often becomes apparent in taste!
Different towns and cities in our country boast many local delicacies of their own. Special dishes that originated from them or dishes that they specialize in. Personally, I know only of very few.
One of my life goals is to explore our very own country and if possible, try them all! If the delicacies alone from the town where I originated from are already really good, then there may still be many undiscovered delights that I have not tasted yet.
