Plato Wraps at Franchise Expo 2011 – Endless Business Possibilities

Posted: September 30th, 2011 | No Comments »

Lately, I’ve been reading the past issues of Entrepreneur Philippines. I was able to collect some copies through relatives and since I am now thinking of ways on how to generate income, the concept of setting up a business caught my interest. Too bad no one in the immediate family owns a business since they’d […]

Random Thoughts While Watching ‘No Other Woman’

Posted: September 29th, 2011 | No Comments »

‘PEDRING’ invaded the country by storm and it is unfortunate that once again, our country was ‘visited’ by another typhoon. For the first time this year, we experienced brownout here at home. Last Thursday night, I slept at 9AM and woke up at 12pm for lunch. Went back to bed and woke up at 7pm […]

Where will you be tomorrow?

Posted: September 29th, 2011 | No Comments »

For a lot of people, tomorrow is just another end of the month day. Perhaps some are going to celebrate their birthday on this day but for others it’s just another ordinary day. If the 30th of September is just another ordinary day for you, McDonald’s can make it extra ordinary! Tomorrow, Mcdonald’s will continue to celebrate their 30th anniversary in the Philippines. They just want to make the last day of my birthday month very special by having a contest together with the simultaneous re-opening of the 4 branches (Makati Cinema Square, Greenhills, North Avenue, and Quezon Avenue). Those were the answers to my previous guessing game sponsored by McDo. If you enjoyed that one, this one’s going to be more exciting with bigger prizes at stake. Mcdonald’s just can’t resist having only one contest because they want to give more! Below are the […]

Two beautiful ladies, one hunky!
Starring: Derek Ramsay, Christine Reyes and Anne Curtis

When it comes to local Pinoy movies, I try not to watch the trailer at all.  Because most of the time they kinda give out everything.  I’m glad I didn’t watch the trailer because I had no clue at all what’s going to happen.
But if you insist, here’s the trailer.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you

My Review of No Other Woman
I was shocked that the seats were full on a Wednesday afternoon.  Take note, there were still offices at that time… and so we had to buy tickets for the evening instead which was almost full too.
It’s a movie about temptation.
In an adult world, this mostly happens now.  And I know a lot of people can relate making […]

Nescafe 3 in 1: Sweet ‘n Mild… “Good Morning Sa Inyo!”

Posted: September 28th, 2011 | No Comments »

I’ve been hearing Nescafe’s Sweet ‘n Mild commercial jingle entitled “Sunshine” a lot lately; but not from the radio or television, but from people almost everywhere. Is this song going viral and becoming a nationwide LSS (last song syndrome)? I don’t know but in my area, I think it is. I haven’t tried this one […]

On Sam Pinto, the Azkals and Unboxing SMART Netphone 701

Posted: September 27th, 2011 | No Comments »

After years of ‘avoiding’  mobile phone trends, I finally own an Android phone – the Netphone 701 from Smart! Can I confess something? I have a love and hate relationship with technology. I love it because it makes things easier for us. I also hate it at times because it makes things easier for us. […]

My Love Affair with McDonald’s

Posted: September 26th, 2011 | No Comments »

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and I couldn’t agree more. A man after all is a very simple creature—feed him properly and he might just stay with you forever. I know this for a fact because this is exactly what happened to me. My love story is a testament to how a man’s stomach dictates his heart’s affection. It all started on a lazy Saturday afternoon. If memory serves me right, I was 8 at that time. My uncle, as a reward for being studious and helpful that summer, took me out. He brought me to Harrison Plaza, which was the “Mecca of Malls” during that time. We went window shopping, hopping from one store to another. He also took me to the amusement center where we played with the different gaming apparatus. We spent the whole afternoon laughing. It was […]

The Soothing Music of Mike Francis

Posted: September 26th, 2011 | No Comments »

LITTLE TRIVIA:  When I asked my Dad and Mom where my name (Micaela Fransesca) came from, they mentioned that Italian pianist/songwriter Mike Francis influenced them. There is another version about naming me after two relatives. Whatever the real reason is, I am happy with my name. My Father used to work as a Radio DJ […]

I became a member of the school dance troupe in first year and got the opportunity to learn and appreciate the […]

If you are a blogger, a freelance writer, or if you have extra time with you, then I think you would love to turn time into gold — to go beyond blogging, think business and become an entrepreneur.
