11th World Bazaar Festival “Da Best and Pasko ng Pilipino”

One thing I love living in the city is the ampleness of BAZAARS especially during the holiday season! There’s almost a particular bazaar for every occasion and they are everywhere. Here’s one exciting and huge bazaar that I want to share with everyone so better hurry up and catch this!

The World Bazaar Festival at the World Trade Center in Pasay City dubbed as “Da Best and Pasko ng Pilipino” running from December 2 to 18, 2011. This is a partnership between Worldbex Services International and ABS-CBN for the benefit of the ABS-CBN Foundation. Here are the best reasons why you should not miss this one!

Affordable Admission Fee at PhP50.00 per head only.

Touted as the longest and grandest Christmas bazaar in Manila.

Open from 12:00NN to 10:00PM from Mondays to Thursdays and from 10:00AM to 12:00 MN from Fridays to Sundays.

You can choose from over 600 booths of fabulous finds, everything from accessories, toys, giftware, Christmas decors, books, musical products, housewares, handcrafts, novelties, clothing and almost everything!

Best “bargain” prices on all items especially on Christmas decorations. Here's a photo of my friend and her find, "Santa with a Christmas Tree" that we got for PhP 1,000.00 only (50% off). Just put some tiny twinkling lights around the cute Christmas tree and voila! You have an instant Christmas décor.

They have celebrity booths (Kapamilya stars) selling a number of products and shoppers will have the chance to meet and greet them.

It features various show launches, musical shows, fashion shows and a celebrity pavilion.

Kids can write their Christmas wishes in the Make A Wish card and hang them in the giant 30-foot Christmas tree located at the lobby. Every Friday, a card will be chosen from the giant Christmas tree and the lucky kid will have his or her special request granted by the World Bazaar Festival organizers.

“Woobie”, the official World Bazaar Festival mascot will serve as the Santa Claus for the event and will be giving away toys, appliances and showcases to chosen families as an early Christmas treat.

The World Bazaar Festival will also showcase an Appliance and Gadgets Craze that will run from December 13-15 at the WTC East Wing Tent.

Christmas shopping in a Filipino fiesta mode.

There are lanes of foods open until midnight selling yummy treats such as bibingka and puto bumbong. And most importantly there are ample parking spaces.

And for you my dear readers, I made some special albums for you to view so you’ll have an advance idea what to buy from this bazaar. Don't miss-out any album so check it out down to the bottom! O di ba? Da Best ang Pasko ng Pilipino!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

I was going around my stuff that I packed two years ago, back in the time when I decided that I’m done with the corporate world. I realized that I did not check back to this box-load of stuff since I packed it when I exited that world of mine. The sad thing is that, I’m digging this box because I’m looking for a document that will support a stupid system that halted something that I had worked so hard for a couple of weeks. I was feeling upset and frustrated while doing the digging. I realized there are lots of things in this box that I really really love. They are of no financial values. Just the silly stuff that I can’t take away so I just keep them. As I picked and tousled things, I came across some small notebooks where I used to write anything that I can think of at the moment. One of the small notebooks is a favorite since college days. It is covered with my stamp collections and in it are my favorite quotations, prose, phrases and some poems that I personally wrote.

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area. It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.

As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all. So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” ! It is located along the breakwaters of Manila Bay at the SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex just right after the The Giant Ferris Wheel/The MOA Eye .

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…” They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”. I was with a group of friends along with our respective families. I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place. It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children. I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are. I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking. I tried to look tough and not to
