PASEO GALLERY

Art Exhibits always fascinates me. I remember when I was a child I used to paint using pastel as my medium. I even used crayons and water colors and even paint.

When we went to Baguio I had a great time at Ben Cab's Museum. We even met his youngest daughter. Visiting art exhibits in museum and gallery broaden my horizon. We also met Sanso during the ribbon cutting of one of his art exhibits. I am looking forward meeting talented artist in the future to come.

Finding cheap Turkey holidays

For anyone who has never taken the chance to visit Turkey the country can seem perhaps a little mysterious and it can be difficult to decide where to start searching for the perfect destination. 

The truth is that Turkey is so vast, varied and vibrant that you can never be quite sure of what to expect until you take the plunge. So get out there and experience Turkey for yourself. 


The good news is that there are dozens and perhaps hundreds of cheap Turkey holidays available online right now from fully reputable and respected tour operators.

From a tourist perspective that means you could be soaking up the sun on some of the Mediterranean or the Aegean's most stunningly beautiful beaches for a matter of just a few hundred pounds per person for a week. 


Should you make it out there you'll find yourself and your party being warmly welcomed and there are hotels, apartment complexes and resorts now tailor-made to meet the needs of families of all sizes and composition. 

And the natural wonders don't end with the beaches either because the mountains and forests are just as amazing and if you're interested in scenic walks or cycle rides you could hardly be in a more perfect environment. 

The same could be said for water sports as well, with Turkey having established a reputation as one of the best countries in the Med for visitors to take the plunge in that regard as well.  


The south-western coast of Turkey is the most popular with sun-seeking tourists primarily because the weather is amazing and the landscapes reach right into the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. 

There are some wonderful places to visit in that particular part of the world but nowhere better than Dalaman. You can bag yourself bargain Dalaman holidays right now by carrying out a basic online search and checking out the latest offers.

DJ Mo Twister trended the hashtag #Charice and PempengcoSexTape

DJ Mo Twister (Mohan Gumatay) is notorious for creating buzz.. DJ Mo Twister is almost always successful in trying to stay in the public eye even though he is no longer in the Philippines. 

DJ Mo Twister is in the news again lately because of DJ Mojo accusing him of being “fraudulent, physically and verbally abusive”.

Second, DJ Mo Twister and his fellow Good Times co-hosts Tin Gamboa and Mia Bayuga on Magic 89.9 decided to trend a cruel joke on Twitter.  They decided to use the hashtag #charicepempengcosextape ( Charice Pempengco Sex Tape ).  The hashtag trended nationwide for several hours and actually generated a response from Charice herself.

“@djmotwister you are…unbelievable.”
“@djmotwister too bad. Remember, you interviewed me? I thought you were nice. anyway, I should talk to you FACE TO FACE. ”

Due to this, the host (who is actually now based in New York) and his fellow co-hosts have been suspended from the radio show for two weeks without pay.

Today’s Best Music Magic 89.9 has issued an official statement saying:

The management of Today’s Best Music Magic 89.9 does not condone what happened this morning, May 9, 2012 on GoodTimes. As a joke, the 3 DJs started an objectionable hashtag about Charice Pempengco on Twitter. An Apology to Ms. Pempengco shall be made tomorrow morning, May 10, 2012 on the said Radio Show. Furthermore, as self regulation, The DJs involved shall be suspended from boardwork for Two Weeks without pay as consequence of their actions.

 I don't know if being controversial is what makes DJ Mo happy. When will he ever learn his lessons?

Update: Mia Bayuga tweet an apology

 Followed by Mo Twister's apology to Charice also on Twitter.

 Tin Gamboa also issued an apology to Charice on Twitter.

Hey, Mom! Bring your family to 2012 Run United 2!

Unilab ActiveHealth invites moms and their families to take part in advocating an active and healthy lifestyle by joining the second leg of the 2012 Run United on June 17, 2012 at Mall of Asia.


Choose from any of the race categories and challenge each other to see how fast you can go.

 

You can register your kids, aged 5 to 12 years old, in the Ceelin 500-meter dash, a perfect way to jumpstart their journey to fitness. You, your husband and older children can join the other race categories: 3km, 5km, 10km and 21km.

 

Registered participants of 500-meter dash, 3km, 5km, and 10km will receive their singlet upon registration. The Active Health race belt bag, bib with timing chip, and Riovana 10% discount stub can be claimed during the 1st ever Run United race expo scheduled on June 13-16, 2012 at BGC Grounds near Mercato from 12nn to 8pm.


The participants of the 21k category will have a different singlet color design which makes the runners extra special, aside from the freebies that they will get during the race expo in BGC and the 2nd piece of the collectible medal and finisher shirt. A personalized RunRio Timing Card will be exclusively given to them they just need to present their old IPICO timing chip during the registration to get the replacement.

 

21km runners will also get to enjoy running the Bonifacio Global City to Mall of Asia race route, giving them a chance to improve their PR for Run United 1. Shuttle service will be provided from MOA as pick-up point for 21km runners.


“Active Health delivers Unilab’s vision of providing active health solutions for Filipino families,” Unilab Active Health Head Alex Panlilio said. “We encourage families to start or continue leading active lives through our events like Run United.


Active Health Sport Events Executive Lester Castillo said, “As we have always done in the past, we continuously improve Run United series to give runners a better experience and encourage them to keep running. Through our partnership with Coach Rio dela Cruz, Run United has become one, if not the best, running event in the country.”


As a testament to the level of commitment that Active Health brings to the runners, it has brought in the Team Bike Boutique, the official merchandise partner of Ironman races worldwide, to organize the Run United Race Expo happening on June 13-16, 2012 at the BGC Grounds near Mercato. 


The race expo completes the active health experience by gathering runners, sports enthusiasts and their families in this four-day event. Runners can hang out with their friends while checking out the coolest and latest sports apparel. Fitness and athletic brands also present their latest products and services, including gadgets, running gear, among others. 


Coach Rio dela Cruz said the race expo brings Run United to a whole new level. “Major international marathons like the ING New York Marathon and Chicago Marathon hold their own expos days before the event. Together with UNILAB Active Health, we look at some of the best practices from international races, and apply them to the Run United Series to further enhance the race experience of the Filipino running community.”

NO MORE LINING UP TO PAY TERMINAL FEES AT THE AIRPORT

Good News to all airline passengers! Starting August, 2012, passengers will no longer endure the long queue at the airport to pay terminal fees.  That's because starting August, all airport terminal fees will be charged already when you  book your domestic flights as agreed upon by the government and airline companies.

This means that senior citizens, overseas Filipino workers, and others who are exempted from paying the terminal fees will have to comply with the new system and pay the terminal fees in their plane ticket then get a refund later.

Instead of having all passengers line up to pay terminal fees, only those who are entitled to refund will line up for their reimbursements.
