Traslacion 2018: The Procession of the Black Nazarene

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What is it about the Black Nazarene that moves millions of Filipino Catholics to gravitate to it?

This said to be miraculous image of Jesus Christ has blessed the lives of the devotees, but we should not hide the fact that it also claimed lives during the crowded procession.

But who are we to doubt what millions of people believe. Even at this day, there seems to be a multitude of believers who would literally die for offering their praises towards their beloved God.

Faith is indeed something great to hold on to as it gives many people strength and hope for a better tomorrow. But as they say "Nasa Diyos and Awa, Nasa Tao ang Gawa." We should therefore also exert extra effort to work on our dreams and aspirations, and not rely on a miracle. Praying to win in the Lotto is totally wrong. Praying to get a job without investing on learnings appropriate skills will get you nowhere. We all have to work hard, or smart, to get what we want.

For the annual Traslacion, a media briefing was held on January 4, 2018 at Quiapo church led by Quiapo Church Parish Priest Msgr. Hernando Coronel, MMDA Chair Danilo Lim, at MPD Director PC Supt. Joel Coronel

The Manila Police District (MPD) will be fielding more or less 5000 policemen and augmentation for the safe conduct of the Traslacion 2018 and security of devotees who will participate on January 9.

A Quiapo Church rector also said that organizers will be setting up 12 prayer stations along the procession route - an effort to give other devotees another option aside from joining the procession.

Classes in all levels for both private and public schools and work in government offices in Manila are suspended on January 9 in observance of Traslacion 2018.

Several roads will also be closed as early as Sunday from 1 p.m. onwards. Due to safety considerations, new route will be implemented for Traslacion 2018, veering away from the Lagusnilad: from Manila Hotel proceed to Katigbak drive to pass thru Intramuros to NPC to Jones Bridge then same route as to the previous years will be followed.

Aside from the signal jammers to prevent usage of mobile phones, a 48-hour gun ban will be implemented in the city from 12mn of Jan 8 to 12mn of Jan 10 as an security measure. 

There is no actual, direct or imminent threat reported.

As usual, it is expected that Manila will be a very busy day so it is advisable for commuters to avoid passing through the areas where the Traslacion is held. Pregnant women, children, elderly, sick and disabled or handicapped, are discouraged to attend since even the strongest man could be trampled upon by the over-eager crowd all wanting their share of the blessings.

We believe that God will grant our wishes even if we are miles away from the image of the Black Nazarene, or any other saint and church. We should not be required to actually be present at religious places to receive the blessings of the Lord. As we all believe, God is omnipresent and thus is everywhere. He is omnipotent which makes him capable enough to whatever he desires.

God gave us the free will to choose and decide for ourselves, so there is no wrong choice or decision, and that includes standing up to what we believe in. What is wrong is to give in to what the majority dictates in spite of our personal disbelief. We see Science and technology slowly enlightening us but there are still many questions left unanswered. We believe it will be a never-ending quest for answers as there are just too many wonders in this world.

Life alone is a miracle that still has many intricate complexities. We are forever a continuous story, and though we could not make it as perfect as we hoped for, the effort to go through life believing, or not, still serves many purpose for those who have gone through life loving others unconditionally.

Our fervent hope is for the devotees to spread their love not only towards the Black Nazarene, but to others as well. It is such a disappointment seeing religious people participating in the Traslacion and other similar activities but are perpetrators of unethical acts. Sadly, some just want to be seen for publicity - and this is not limited to the celebrities or politicians. 

Here's the Secret to Your Law Firm's Content Marketing Success

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Content marketing is one of the most effective ways to promote a law firm. By sharing blog posts, videos, and other informational content related to your particular area of the law, you can establish yourself as an authority.

Sharing “evergreen” content should play a major role in your strategy. You want to share information that will be relevant to your audience years after you first posted it. The following information will help you better understand how law firms can implement this approach.


What is Evergreen Content?

Evergreen content is content that remains useful or informative for long periods of time. For instance, if a personal injury law firm were to publish a blog post sharing details about an upcoming seminar on preventing slip and fall accidents, the information would be irrelevant after the event is over. That’s not an evergreen blog post.

An evergreen blog post for a law firm (depending on would be closer to “What to do When You’ve Been in a Car Accident,” “How to File a Wrongful Death Claim,” or “5 Tips for Choosing a Divorce Attorney.”

Barring any major changes to the law, that kind of content is useful for readers no matter when they find it.



Why is Evergreen Content Important?

Evergreen content has lasting value. When promoting a law firm, you want to share information that readers will keep discovering and sharing. Interest in a piece of content tends to fade once it is no longer relevant or helpful. As a result, it’s effectiveness as a promotional tool fades, too.

By sharing evergreen content, you can also develop your law firm’s overall ethos. A firm that shares only timely content won’t have the same authoritative web presence as one that shares useful, evergreen content.

Of course, understanding the value of this marketing strategy is one thing; actually adopting it involves a little more work. Don’t jump into your promotional strategy haphazardly. Follow these steps to develop an evergreen content marketing plan that works.



Select an Area of Focus

You shouldn’t share any content that’s vaguely related to the law. You’ll establish your authority more effectively if you select specific topics on which to focus.

However, going too broad is also dangerous. There’s a lot of content out there; yours will get lost in the mix if it’s too general. For instance, posting basic pieces of content about personal injury cases means your posts will blend in with all the other posts about personal injury cases.

When choosing your subjects, consider what kinds of cases you’re trying to bring in. Do you want to represent more clients facing deportation? Share content that directly relates to their needs, like “How to Apply for a United States Work Visa” or “5 Immediate Steps to Take When Facing Deportation.”



Know Your Audience

The more you know about your ideal audience, the easier it is to target your audience appropriately.

Start by considering their overall demographics. Maybe you stand out from other firms in the area by representing non-English speakers. Post content that’s relevant to potential clients seeking attorneys who speak their language.

You should also consider their location. Someone looking for a divorce lawyer in NYC is going to search for “NYC divorce lawyer” in Google. Include those kinds of terms in your blog posts to reach the right people.

Finally, if you’re simply struggling to come up with more topics to post about, put yourself in a client’s shoes. What problems do they have? What questions do they need answers for? This will help you better understand what kind of content will attract them.



Focus on Timeless Ideas

When you’re ready to actually develop content ideas, always go for topics that are evergreen. If you know that certain laws and regulations relevant to your area of expertise tend to change regularly (this is often the case when emerging technology, like cryptocurrency, triggers the need for new legislation), focus more on the areas of your specialty that rarely change.

While you may want to promote upcoming events every now and then, limit these posts. They shouldn’t play a major role in your long-term strategy.



Experiment with Different Types of Content

You want to reach potential clients via as many forms of media possible. Blog posts are effective because they allow you to clearly share information, but with many mobile device users consuming video content these days (it accounts for more than half of all mobile traffic). Therefore, it’s a smart idea to include it in your strategy.

Fortunately for law firms, longer blog posts are rising in popularity. This means you truly delve into a topic, instead of oversimplifying it.

Hiring a freelance graphic designer to translate your content into infographics gives you yet another way to attract clients. Infographics are eye-catching, and they make it easy to share a lot of information in a compressed space.

If you have the time, you might even consider hosting a regular podcast that delves into some of your major areas of interest more deeply. Most importantly, include a call-to-action whenever relevant. Tell listeners to call your firm; promote your free consultations. This is how you turn someone consuming your content into a legitimate client.



Getting it Out There

A quality website is the ideal platform for hosting your content. That said, you shouldn’t rely solely on this platform. Social media accounts give you the chance to reach even more people. Because it’s fairly easy to share content on social media, if your audience appreciates what you post, they’ll be more likely to share it with their followers.

Don’t think of content marketing as a minor promotional strategy. For a law firm, it’s how you develop your ethos, establish your authority, and let potential clients know you can help them address their specific needs. When your content is evergreen, the positive impact lasts much longer.

Dusit Thani Bangkok to Remain Open Throughout the Year so Developer Can Add Even Greater Value to the New Hotel

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Originally slated to close for redevelopment this April, Dusit International’s iconic flagship hotel will now operate as usual until 5 January 2019.

International, one of Thailand’s foremost hotel and property development companies, has announced that its iconic flagship hotel, Dusit Thani Bangkok, will now remain fully operational until 5 January 2019 (with final check-out at 2pm on that date), instead of 16 April of this year, as was previously announced.

The hotel’s closing date has been extended to allow Dusit and its partners more time to add even greater value to the new version of the hotel, which will open as part of a THB 36.7 billion (approximately USD 1.1 billion) landmark mixed-use project to be built in partnership with Central Pattana PLC.

Founded by Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui and opened on 27 February 1970, Dusit Thani Bangkok was once the city’s tallest edifice and largest hotel. A new landmark for the capital, the hotel pioneered five-star hospitality inspired by authentic Thai values and ushered in a new era of tourism for the city, revolutionizing dining, entertainment and even the way people organized wedding receptions in the process.

With its new hotel, Dusit International plans to mirror that success by creating a new city landmark that boosts the area’s appeal, enhances existing infrastructure, creates new opportunities for local businesses, celebrates Thai culture, and elevates the brand’s standing internationally.

“Since we officially announced the hotel’s redevelopment earlier last year, we have been inundated with messages from guests, customers and long-time fans of the hotel expressing their opinions about the project,” said Ms Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO, Dusit International. “While the majority expressed excitement about our next chapter, there were also those who wondered how we could possibly embrace our heritage and continue our legacy in a new building.

“The answer, of course, lies in taking our time to ensure we get it right. We are exploring many ways to add value to the new hotel and mixed-use project in terms of design and innovation. This includes embracing a green concept which reflects our prime location opposite Lumpini Park, creating direct links to both the MRT and BTS mass transit rail systems, and alleviating traffic in the area by providing new infrastructure.

“While our scrupulous attention to detail means we must extend the project timeline by eight months, we are delighted that guests now have more time to experience the hotel as it stands. We plan to enrich that experience by hosting a series of special events throughout the year.”

Former Choir Member Tiffany Teo Determined to Fulfill Destiny as Martial Arts Champ

Wazzup Pilipinas!

If a teenaged Tiffany “No Chill” Teo could see her adult counterpart, she would be unrecognizable.

As a young girl, the Singaporean martial arts standout was heavily involved in choir activities, which she participated in for a decade.

“I was a nerd when I was a kid. I was not very active,” Teo shared in jest.

Today, Teo is the polar opposite as she traded in her songbooks and rehearsal rooms for a pair of four-ounce gloves and the gym.

Teo went from a quiet, unassuming choirgirl to becoming a renowned strawweight martial arts prospect with an impressive record of 7-0.

The winding road to ONE Championship began in the oddest of places — in front of the television screen. Teo’s interest in martial arts, Muay Thai specifically, was stoked by popular reality show The Contender Asia.

14 Ways To Stick To a Healthier Lifestyle Regimen

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Not only do you need to live a healthier lifestyle, but also, you must find a variety of ways to maintain this new regimen. If you follow an assortment of tips for improving your well-being, then you will have more physical energy and mental clarity. Use these ideas for improving your health along with sticking to your healthier regimen.


Healthy Regimen Tip 1: Have Daily Menus

Rather than preparing meals and snacks randomly, create daily menus that include the foods or beverages required for better well-being. You can write your menus using a computer before printing out the information to keep the items on your kitchen's refrigerator. With the menus in front of you, you are less likely to eat poor-quality foods that will ruin your health.


Healthy Regimen Tip 2: Schedule Time For Breakfast

If you sleep too late to eat breakfast, then you must wake up 20-minutes earlier to scramble an egg or prepare a bowl of cereal. Studies reveal that eating a healthy breakfast will keep you from eating large quantities of food later in the day.


Healthy Regimen Tip 3: Take a Cooking Class

When you don't know how to prepare homemade snacks and meals, you can take cooking classes at a community college. Alternatively, you can find books about cooking at a public library, or you can learn more about cooking at an online website.


Healthy Regimen 4: Clean Out Your Cupboards and Refrigerator

After you decide to change your diet, you must clean out your refrigerator and cupboards. Take everything out of these storage places to sort through the beverages and foods to throw away high-fat items such as mayonnaise or high-sugar items such as cake mixes.


Healthy Regimen 5: Prepare a Grocery-shopping List

Don't shop mindlessly at the supermarket because it is filled with temptations. Use your menus to have a grocery-shopping list so that you won't buy unneeded items such as ice cream, pie or potato chips.

Healthy Regimen 6: Eat a Lot Of Fruits and Vegetables

Begin shopping in the produce aisle of your supermarket to buy seasonal vegetables and fruits. Dietitians recommend eating as many as 13 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to get all of the nutrients required for a healthy body.
 
Healthy Regimen 7: Join a Fitness Gym

If you only want to watch television while you are at home, then you aren't getting enough exercise. Joining a fitness gym is one of the best ways to improve your health because there are an assortment of weights and exercise devices available.


Healthy Regimen 8: Learn How To Meditate

When you feel anxious most of the time, it can damage your mental and physical well-being. You may have chronic indigestion, migraines or nightmares because you have too much stress. Enroll in a meditation class to learn how to clear the anxious thoughts from your mind.


Healthy Regimen 9: Avoid Drinking Too Much Alcohol

If you are drinking a lot of alcohol, then it can damage your health. Your body's liver must work harder to eliminate the toxins from alcoholic beverages, leading to problems such as cirrhosis. When you drink too much but can't stop, it is time to look for a support group to overcome this bad habit.


Healthy Regimen 10: Don't Smoke Cigarettes

The tobacco and other chemicals in cigarettes will damage your body by creating inflammation in the mouth, throat and respiratory system. When you can't stop smoking, you should begin to use nicotine patches, or you can join a smoking cessation program.


Healthy Regimen 11: Visit an Allergist

If you have health problems such as constant sinus congestion or digestive issues, then visit an allergist to determine if you are allergic to certain substances. You might have an allergy to pollen, or you may have an allergic response to the lactose in dairy products.


Healthy Regimen 12: Socialize Occasionally

It is important to socialize occasionally by spending time with your friends or relatives. If you spend too much time alone, then you can develop depression from isolation. Get interested in a hobby or social cause so that you can become involved in meetings with other people.


Healthy Regimen 13: Practice Positive Thinking

The way that you think can affect your physical and mental well-being. To improve the way that you feel, read books and watch DVDs about positive thinking. You may need to practice to learn how to speak and think in a positive way.


Healthy Regimen 14: Try Prepackaged Meals To Lose Weight

Whether you don’t have time, or if you’re just not good at planning, prepackaged meals can help you stay on target.  They provide a set amount of calories, typically offer a balanced diet of nutrients, protein and fiber.  But what’s more, they make it easy by removing the difficulty of making choices about what to eat, or what to cook.  It’s just easier.  And as Pure Healthy Living will tell you, there’s no price difference, just look at Nutrisystem cost.

There are a wide variety of other options to try, and Nutrisystem isn’t the only one.  But be aware that some of them can be pretty expensive.  So you may have to weigh being healthier, and not having to think about your food, versus having to pay a little more at times.

No-Bake Lasagna Recipe for New Year Media Noche

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The No-Bake Lasagna recipe I got from the Internet requires Parmesan, Mozzarella and Quickmelt grated cheeses, plus evaporated and powder milk, also all-purpose cream, flour, cornstarch, butter,.... then tomato sauce and paste for the ground beef added with onion, garlic, basil leaves, pepper, powder, salt, soy sauce, sugar... ..and of course, the lasagna pasta.

NO BAKE LASAGNA PASTA RECIPE:

Ingredients:

500 Grams Lasagna Pasta
1 Kilo Ground Beef
1 Kilo Hunt's Tomato Sauce Basil and Cheese Variant
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste (this will make sauce thick in texture)
1 Cup Finely Chopped White Onion
1 Head Garlic Finely Chopped
Pepper Powder
4 tbsp Soy Sauce
Salt
1 tbsp Sugar
Dried Basil Leaves
1 Can Nestle All Purpose Cream
3 Tbsp Cornstarch dissolved in 3 tbsp water
Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Grated Box Quick Melt Cheese

Bechamel Sauce Ingredients:
Unsalted Butter
6 Spoon Flour
1 Cup milk - any powdered milk will do, dissolved in warm water. Powdered milk is rich in fat. The fat in this milk will help the sauce become thick
1 Large Evaporated Milk
1 Cup grated cheese

Bechamel Sauce:

This is the thick white sauce used for layering. In french cooking they call it roux. In Greenwich (fast food chain in Philippines) you can also see it on top of their Lasagna.

In very low heat, melt about 1/4 sliced of butter. Make sure not to burn it. It should look golden yellow. Once butter is in little bubbles mix flour, whisk it using fork, until it becomes egg like lump and paste like.

In low heat, slowly add full cream milk. Mix it thoroughly until it becomes consistently smooth that when you spoon it, the thickness will cover the spoon. Mix and cook around 2 minutes then slowly mix in evaporated milk until very smooth in texture.

Cool and set it aside for later use. This sauce will be use for bottom and top layer.

Lasagna Pasta:

Cook it for 13 minutes in boiling water with salt and 1 tbsp oil, cover and simmer. Make sure to mix it from time to time to avoid pasta from sticking on the pan. But be careful not to chip the lasagna.

Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Sauce:

It makes Lasagna stick to all other ingredients without the need to bake it. Just the sticky sauce, Cheeses and Bechamel Sauce. No need for baking.

Saute Garlic until light brown, followed by Onion until translucent.

Add in Ground Beef, salt pepper, soy sauce and basil.

Pour in Tomato Sauce and simmer for few minutes and mixing it to avoid sticking from the pan.

Add in Tomato paste and diluted Cornstarch, Nestle All Purpose Cream.

Add in sugar and salt to adjust taste.
Simmer and mix for 2-3 minutes

Sprinkle Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Once Mozzarella is melted. We're ready to layer it in the pan!

How to Layer:

Spread Bechamel Sauce (bottom)
Combined Lasagna Pasta and Beef Sauce (2nd layer)
Bechamel Sauce (3rd layer)
Quickmelt cheese (4th layer)
Parmesan cheese

Cooking tips: Use more mozzarella to make every lasagna slice more cheesier as presented in the photo.

Ready to serve. Enjoy!!!

I will be cooking it tomorrow late afternoon so it will be ready for dinner.

Did I miss any ingredient? Is my cooking procedure correct?

Aside from this yummy foods you may also try Lectin free protein bars, see the usual paradox recipes and lectin free foods for your diet.

Outcome:

I made a booboo on the lasagna pasta because they got stuck to each other during boiling... So the supposed to be rectangular pasta sheets got all shredded into pieces. Lol!

But the end result of the no-bake lasagna was more than OK since my kids said it was delicious thanks to all yummy ingredients that are included in the bechamel sauce, the lasagna sauce, plus all that grated cheese on top.

In the end, it's still the taste that will tell if your dish will sell or not. The looks or presentation could add to the appetite, but it will immediately be excused and forgotten after the first bite.

The tray was half-done during dinner, and it's still 3 hours before New Year Media Noche. They just couldn't wait to try it, repeatedly.

Maybe next year I will be able to perfect it, or try something else more challenging...hehehe :)
