30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 16 - Happy Foursquare Day!

First of all I would like to great everyone a happy 4sqDay! For those of you who doesn't know about what is this day about. Read this..

Foursquare Day is held every year on April 16th. A grass roots event started by Tampa Bay fans of foursquare in 2010, it quickly spread to communities all over the world. Foursquare Day is celebrated differently in each community. Some people have parties, some have lecture, and some simply check in. What would you like to do this year? Read more...

I wont deny, I am a foursquare addict! everywhere I go I made it a point to check-in, leave a tips for other to read and take photos of the place. For me its the best way of promoting local business and establishments here in Cagayan de Oro. It is also a unique social media sharing that enables people to share feedbacks and good info's on the place which is why I made it a point to also check-in and leave a useful comment and updates.
A lot of communities all over the world are celebrating Foursquare Day. Here in Mindanao, Davao and GenSan is even celebrating. Since we dont have the celebration here in CDO I just check-in on Foursquare to collect a badge. I also had 4sqDay 2011 badge also which made me happy that I did not forget to get 2012 badge. :)

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 15 - A Quest For Healthy Food

Today I went to the grocery to buy fruits an vegetables. I realized that I really need to buy healthy food and overcome laziness in going to the grocery more often.

So when I arrived from grocery its already late and so I requested mom to prepare Eggplant salad. I really like eating eggplant salad specially if there's a lot of tomatoes on it.

One thing I also realized is that lately Ive been drinking to much of soft drinks. When I saw this Nestea Iced tea in the supermarket I immediately bought a couple of litro packs as substitute to softdrinks.

I do hope I can keep up and maintain this healthy lifestyle and slowly cut some unhealthy habits. Health is wealth as they say...

Last December CDOBloggers, Inc had a Outreach and Feeding Program at Cadayunan Primary School in Besigan. I wasn't able to joined on that day due of my other responsibilities. My fellow CDOBloggers had an exciting experienced going there because they ride on a  Government dump truck, of which the only means of transportation. After the thrilling and bumpy ride they had to walk up to the mountain where the Cadayunan Primary School is situated.

When they arrived excited faces of kids are already waiting. A small program was held of which kids were able to win prizes and enjoy.

It was a pleasure seeing those kids happy with the presents they have received. We also donated some activity books and old text books we have gathered.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 8 - National Bookstore Book Sale

Its Easter Sunday today! While everyone is heading to the beach family just stayed at home we are not really a fan of beach specially at this day wherein beaches are surely jam packed of people celebrating Easter Sunday.
The other day I bought ingredients for a simple salad; cream, condensed milk and fruit cocktail but my mom wants it to be made into Tapioca. And I headed to the market to buy Tapioca. And just when I pass by at National Bookstore. They have great books on sale! There were a lot of books I should have bought if I had an extra cash ro spare. Too bad im on a budget. :(
This books is published way back 2008 - 2010 but there is still a lot of good tips on it.

Now this next books aint on sale.. but just taught of sharing it! ;)

I know your thinking why most of the books are mostly about love and relationship. Lol I dont know why but i just like reading this stuffs too. I was actually looking for the secret's daily teaching of which are out of stock when I saw this love/relationship genre books.

30 Day Blog Challenge: DAY 5 - CDOBloggers Relief Operation For Typhoon Sendong Victims Part 1

When typhoon Sendong devastated Cagayan de oro the CDObloggers, Inc did our fair share of help also. We help disseminate and relay  important matters that needed attention online. Through social media and blogging we were able to update everyone on the city's current situation, knock on National Media's doors for coverage (because they hardly news feature on any of the national tv because they are busy having Christmas parties) and also raise funds through online donations.

On the 3rd day of Sendong's devastation, I and along with few CDObloggers volunteered at Xavier University. We brought in our un-used and still wearable clothing for donations and then help on packing relief packs.

30 Day Blog Challenge: DAY 4 - The Super, Super, Super Late Birthday Blog Post!

Since I didn't get to blog about my birthday last year ill blog about it now as part of my 30 Days Blog Challenge - "Things that I did!"

I usually don't celebrate my birthday, it usually just another ordinary pass by and even forgotten day. The reason for that is that I didn't grow up with my birthdays being celebrated in fact the first birthday cake that I sliced and blown was the one CDObloggers gave me last 2009. :D

Anyways, last year I got to celebrate my 26th birthday at my cousins house. It was my nephews first month, welcome party and Christening. My cousin prepared food good for a small pack of visitors of which mostly the god parents of baby Angelo and my cousins relatives on the her fathers side.

My cuosin and the crying baby Angelo... He is actually not in the mood ever since he arrived from the Church thats because his sleep was disturbed.

I gate crash the celebration. I bought a cake for me and Angelo but unfortunately the Cinnamon's cake decorator seem to be at lost since she misspelled my name I didn't got to check it before I leave the store because I was in a hurry and they also didn't ask me if the lettering is correct. Frustrating! One thing I hate... my name being misspelled. (-.-)

Happy birthday to me...

A quick photo before he cried again...

The celebrations has not end yet later in the afternoon I crave for something cold and delicious and ice cream came to the suggestion box. lol My aunt and cousins suggest for an ice cream and so i gave in and we bought Selecta ice cream.

 And in the evening just when we are about to go home our baby Angelo ain't feeling well that he is crying non-stop. Justine had to sing and dance for him to keep him entertain. Well the baby seems to be entertained because he did stop crying and keep on watching his kuya dancing and singing in front of him. :D

30 Day Blog Challenge: DAY 3 - Sun Cellular's Meet and Greet

This isn't what I did today but what I did last March 27, Tuesday also. CDObloggers had a meet and greet dinner with Sun Cellular's executives; James and Jocel at Bigby's Cafe & Restaurant.
While waiting for the dinner to arrive we talk about a lot of things including some great news from Sun Cellular. One of them is, Sun Cellular is expanding its network coverage in the Mindanao area to bring its best value services to more customers in Southern Philippines. And following its intensified network expansion program, Sun Cellular launched its first salvo of new and better value postpaid plans, the Postpaid Plan 250 initially available in Mindanao.

I would also like to thank Sun Cellular for the freebies that they gave. It'll be exciting to try Sun Cellular's internet connectivity since I have heard a lot of good reviews on its connection speed. This is also perfect freebie since my Smartbro plugit just recently died a few weeks ago.
