The Papal Visit: When Everything Stood Still in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With the coming visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines, I'm sure time will again stand still for many as almost everyone will opt to drop everything their doing just to get a glimpse of the next best thing closest in both mind and spirit to the Lord above.

Certain airlines have already announce several flight cancellations reaching more than a hundred for both arrival and departure dates of the Pope so it is advised not to schedule a flight during those Papal Visit dates. But who really wants to leave the Philippines during these exciting times when the man of God touches Philippine soil.

I'm sure there will also be a lot of traffic rerouting plans all over especially on the roads the pope will pass through. Our public utility vehicle drivers and passengers would be needing some necessary patience as some roads will be blocked to give way to more convenience for the Pope's entourage.

With the recent fare increase in the MRT trains, the public is also having double-thoughts if they will choose to continue to ride the fastest means of traveling in the Metro or opt for a more affordable fare using the buses but sacrifice being late due to the unrelenting traffic congestion no matter what time of the day it is.

The Mind Museum: An Awesome Family Bonding Experience with Science and Technology

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Now, with the holidays behind us, we’re very much ready to kick off 2015 with a big bang that's hopefully louder than all the explosive fireworks and boombastic sound-tripping and ear-popping karaoke sessions that happened before, during and after the 2015 New Year celebrations.

I know I was able to start my year right with a TV appearance in one of the top TV stations in the country and won at a raffle during the launch of the world's first digital fighting top at my very first blogging event for the year.

But I think my best accomplishment to start the year was an educational Science and Technology exploration at The Mind Museum with my family. There is nothing better than quality time with family and I am glad I was able to spend the first days of 2015 with some bonding opportunities with my wife and three kids before they finally return to their studies in school.

A whole day spent attending Sunday mass, food-tripping at three restaurants, a bit of shopping for new clothes for the year, and lining up at the barbershop to trim our hair, we also got to experience an afternoon at an amazing venue specially designed to enhance the creativity and imagination of every child.

Infinity Nado Now in the Philippines: The Quest for the Ultimate Fighting Top Begins

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was invited to attend the Philippine launch of the newest toy craze to soon conquer the country - the Infinity Nado!

Popular toy-maker Auldey helps us take gaming to a whole new level as we spin our way to greatness with these amazing precision fighting tops featuring latest battle technologies and designed using advanced physics that revolutionizes and increases game play and competition.

The Infinity Nado is a mechanical spinning top toy that is turnable and can adjust its gravity center rapidly. This high-tech toy is based from the action packed anime or cartoon currently being aired in TV5 during weekdays at 10 am, but will soon be at an earlier time slot at 9:30 am starting January 10, 2015. The anime series of the same title focuses on battle, justice, & friendship featuring the adventures of Jin and his mates as they enter the center of the Gyro-type tower to stop its rotation and overcome the evil forces to save the world.

The top has the first chip integrated system in the world - RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). This amazing toy is destined to be the next big thing in the Philippines, probably even bigger than Beyblade since this is the next generation of advance toy tops to invade the country.
