Happy Father's Day Gifts from Max's Restaurant

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I was in the middle of listening to a speaker who was sharing information about his company when my mobile phone rang. I forgot to put it in silent mode so I had to immediately walk out of the room to answer it. I heard a familiar voice on the line and she informed me that they were at my home to deliver something. later I realized they also sent me a text message that said "hi ross, are you at home? may dedeliver kasi kme jan snyo" which I failed to reply to because I was glued on listening to the speaker's social innovation story.

Nobody was at our home during the day. My wife was at work, and my three kids were all in school, while I was attending the first day of The Dream Expo MNL happening for three days at the Asian Development Bank in Ortigas. I told the caller to just leave their packages at our neighbors. I had to talk to our neighbor before she agreed to accept the packages in fear it might be a bomb or something.

When I got home....Wow! It was a remarkable early Father's Day gift from Max's Restaurant. Father's Day is still on the 15th (third Sunday of June) but Max's delivered it before that special day. I should also say "gifts" instead of "gift" because not just one, but two boxes of wonderful thoughts of appreciation from one of my favorite restaurants was there at home.

Mara Lopez is on the Cover of Playboy Philippines June 2014

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Kudos to the photographer for such an impressive shot which really captured my attention. This is one of the very best cover photo that I've seen.

Playboy Philippines looked for a muse for their 6th year anniversary. They will be celebrating their anniversary on June 26, 2014 at Solaire Resort and Casino.

The qualities required: 1. One who best represents ferocious sensuality without overstepping the lines of class and sophistication. 2. One who represents the wit and playfulness of this iconic brand. They chose the alluring Mara Lopez.
Like mother, like daughter...she definitely looks totally (put your preferred adjective here) like her mother. She stands out among the other magazine covers all lined up in the newstands. Mara Lopez looked really stunning while partially submerged in water. Actually, that was the crucial aspect which made this shot really special aside from the natural beauty of Mara Lopez.

Dive in (even in just a bathtub) and see the world through the eyes of this mesmerizing indie-film sweetheart and avid surfer.

Candelaria, Zambales: A Period of Pleasure and Productivity

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Adventure, sleepless nights, stress-free activities, swimming, workshops, movies and many more. These are just some of the things that usually comes out first in our mind when we hear the word "SUMMER". But for others, it's far different from what we usually think.

Some people believe that these things mentioned above are just stereotypical ways of describing what summer is all about because for them, summer is about doing what you ought to do - doing what you like and doing things you're comfortable with.

An example of people who believe in this idea are those who spend their summer productively. They study their lessons in advance and engage in different kinds of activities that can enhance their talents and skills. Another example are those people who just stay in their homes and watch movies, read books, play computer games, or just sleep all day long. They do things they think they are comfortable with or things that gives relaxation and peace of mind.

I think that I belong to these groups of people because I've spent my summer productively and I also made sure that I was able to relax and enjoy. I had fun all throughout the vacation even though I rarely go to malls, beaches and other places outside our municipality. I can say that I had fun because I followed my own way of having a well-spent summer by maintaining balance between productivity and pleasure.
