In this day and age  blogging becomes a good portal of advertisement and online promotion because it can give a huge impact and easy to access information upon clicking the publish button. In just one click, everything went to life as it was being shared and like by others instantly once uploaded.

In the cyber world where0 bloggers are moving has become more challenging due to different trends with every click of their finger and as they pursue their passion, they tend to produce more effective write-ups that are based on their experiences, their own opinions and observations.

Today, bloggers exist every minute in every social-networking site giving the readers and other people to have the latest updates as well as entertainment in their web sites or blog sites. But wait a minute; d0 all bloggers who read other sites know the author personally?

Perhaps, some know each other while others tend to get intimidated or something as they see each other in different places. Why? Maybe because they never got a chance to be introduced to each other.

Moreover, the blogosphere in the Philippines is just a small piece of the universal blogosphere. Is it so impossible to know the person one by one in a particular websites or blog site?  And so, bloggers created an event that called “Filipino Bloggers Hub Party” to get a chance to see, meet and know the person behind almost every blog that we read, follow and subscribe to.

On the 19^th of May 2012, 1:00pm at the Central Colleges of the Philippines, bloggers around the Metro will gather to have a simple acquaintance party full of surprises, giveaways, fun games and raffles.  This is the chance to meet and get to know other bloggers hoping that all will unite and promise to continue what started intelligently as to give people good and balance information that people want to know.

To all bloggers in the Metro out there, we would love to know you more and see you in the 1^st Filipino Bloggers Hub Party of the year!

This event has been sponsored by Central Colleges of the Philippines, San Marino,Dianna Stalder, Human Nature,  Tiger Energy, Classic Savory, MedChef,   MEGA Publishing Group, OkayOkay,  Get Beauteous, Taste of Goodness, Tablets Mania

Filipino drivers show positive attitudes towards fuel economy knowing that this will result to more savings revealed the latest Shell FuelSave Index. According to the study, 94% see fuel efficiency as an important way to save money and to personally help use resources in a more sustainable way.

The Shell FuelSave Index is a Shell commissioned research that looked into the driving habits of motorists in European and Asian countries in order to understand how to help more drivers save more fuel, more often.

Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel are available at the pump at no extra cost. For over 100 years, Shell scientists have been using their passion and expertise to create some of the most advanced fuels in the world. Shell FuelSave fuels are Shell’s most advanced fuel economy standard fuels and contain an instantaneous fuel economy formula that is designed to improve fuel efficiency from the very first tank full.

Recent findings showed that the Filipinos are willing to change their driving behavior to save on fuel; reflecting 87% of those surveyed while 85% have actually changed the way they drive to reduce the amount of the fuel that they are using.

Furthermore, Filipino drivers lead among Asian markets in observing fuel saving techniques. The country ranked first in three (3) out of the Top 5 fuel saving tips, namely: avoiding over-revving (79%), reducing speed (56%) and driving smoothly (53%). The country ranked second in Asia in avoiding excessive idling (25%) and ranked third in using the top gear (30%).

It is encouraging to note that awareness on fuel reduction methods have increased in the past years. In 2010, the leading reason that prevented Filipinos from reducing fuel consumption was that they did not know how to, with 41%. Today, this reason is down to number four with only 12% of the respondents. In fact, 18% say that they already save fuel when they drive, 2% higher than the Asian average.

However, the study also showed that more education and information is needed in order for Filipinos to reduce fuel consumption with 20% saying there is not enough information.

Target One Million

 In response to these findings, Shell today launches Target One Million, a Shell FuelSave campaign to help one million motorists across the globe learn how to save fuel.

During the campaign, Shell will release a series of interactive, online mini-games to equip drivers with the skills they need to help save fuel and, in doing so, cut down their fuel costs.

 The mini-games are fun and quick to complete. The first one – Shell FuelSave Challenge – is available now at www.shell.com.ph/targetonemillion and is open to anyone who wants to play and become ‘one in a million.’ Five further games will be released over the coming months, each of which can be shared with friends and family across social media platforms, including Facebook.

Target One Million represents the latest step in Shell’s ongoing efforts to provide smarter, more efficient products like Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel, and promote smarter energy use amongst the world’s motorists. Previous initiatives to educate customers on saving fuel include crowning Europe and Asia’s Smartest FuelSavers in 2010 and setting a Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Fuel Efficiency Lesson’ on Global Shell FuelSave Day in October 2011.

Rona Rodriguez-Baes, Shell FuelSave Brand Manager, said: “Shell has more than 100 years’ experience of helping the world’s drivers get more out of their fuel. Our latest standard fuels, Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel, are designed to help drivers save fuel at no extra cost. Programmes like Target One Million are extremely important in demonstrating that by using these fuels and making a few simple changes to your driving habits, it’s easy for anyone to start saving fuel today.”

“The launch of the results of FuelSave Index and the Target One Million website is Shell’s most recent milestone in our journey for smarter mobility and fuel economy. As you may remember, Shell set the Guinness World Record for circumnavigating the globe using as little fuel as possible in 2006 when John and Helen Taylor drove around the world using just 24 tanks of Shell Fuel Economy formula. There was also the Shell FuelSave Challenge, which ran in 2007 and 2008 that helped 2,000 drivers learn to save fuel for life and the best drivers saved up to 24% on average,” said Roberto Kanapi, Vice President for Communications, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation. “Most recently, Shell successfully set another Guinness World Record for the Largest Fuel Efficiency Lesson ever at Bonifacio Global City. Dubbed as Global Shell FuelSave Day, 3,243 people from 10 cities across Europe and Asia participated in simultaneous fuel efficiency training sessions. In the Philippines, Manila and Iloilo City participated in the historic event,” he added.

In addition to the online mini-games, countries where Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel are available will host other activities to help people learn how to save fuel, including driving challenges, live ‘sign up stations’ and fuel efficiency training clinics with celebrity ambassadors. These activities will take place in the Philippines as well as Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Thailand, Turkey and UK.

For more details about Koala’s March, visit www.lottekoalasmarch.com.

 In their own fun world, a koala is always relaxed. A peaceful and loving creature, koalas are one of the kindest and gentlest on Earth. He likes to stay still and spends most of his time sleeping together with other koalas. But when awake, a koala enjoys munching eucalyptus leaves in his tree, which truly reflects their stress-free, untroubled, relaxed, and carefree way of life. They are so cute, cuddly and charming that when people see them, they can’t really help but reach out and hold them.

And this amusing and enjoyable demeanor is perhaps the reason why kids (and even adults) love Koala’s March biscuits.  They know that they every time they pop open a box they can expect to be greeted by koalas in 125 different biscuit prints that showcase the different poses and costumes of March and her female counterpart Waltz, which makes Koala’s March biscuits all the more hard to resist.

March is the typical koala that likes to enjoy his time and have fun. Proof of this are the different funny poses he makes that can be seen in each biscuit. He is a very gentle, kind, friendly and funny koala who shows you how he wants you to be happy every time you see him because that is who he is—he likes to enjoy living life.

And here’s an interesting trivia: did you know that March was named after the month when Japan adopted the first pair of koalas from Australia to help them breed more koalas? It was a time when the number of koalas was declining due to factors like habitat destruction, domestic dog attacks, bush fires and road accidents.

Aside from March, another interesting character is Waltz, which represents the strawberry flavor. A cute and extremely sweet koala, Waltz is somewhat of a princess type who loves to collect ribbons making sweets but with a special knack for daydreaming and aspires to have her own palace someday. Her favorite food is dessert, loves waltz music and her favorite word is love.

To have those enjoyable and fulfilling moments the way March and Waltz enjoy their lives, try on Koala’s March crispy biscuits with rich premium chocolate and strawberry filling. A great snack to have during the day, one of the best ways to enjoy it is during break time, or while watching TV or enjoying a movie. It is also awesome to have a big box of Koala’s March while having fun, joking around with friends and family, and even serves as a perfect peace offering.

Aside from March and Waltz, you’ll also enjoy the various biscuit prints that depict koalas in their various poses like Baton Koala, Flute Koala, koala with drum, with flute, with a baby, a koala sleeping or eating eucalyptus leaves. And for more enjoyable bonding time with family and friends, you can even try naming the other biscuit prints by giving it its own name. Surely, it will be a blast!

Just remember, though, to put the trash in the proper garbage bin after having fun eating Koala’s March, a snack that can be brought anytime, anywhere, a snack for all occasions.

So go grab a box of Koala’s March biscuits today and experience more of March’s antics and have fun with the goodness a small flavor filled biscuit can do. Make sure to share it with your friends and family, because as his friend, that is how March would want you to do.

Joshwa tried the food at International House of Pancakes (IHOP) for the first time.. He totally loved it

My Baby is now grown up he doesn’t look this anymore

We went to Disneyworld and Was shocked to see the prize of the Theme Park Entrance.

Look at My Boys!! Together again after being separated for almost 2 years. Joshwa didn’t want to let go of his daddy. My boys are really so sweet!

Philbert and I also enjoyed The Seas with Nemo and Friends attraction in EPCOT Center. Totally loved the slow-moving and tranquil “omni-mover” style attraction that provides a gentle transition from the outside world into the deep sea-depths of The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. The Finding Nemo fun is just starting when the ride ends—there are plenty of aquatic adventures and activities inside the pavilion. The underwater environment is a wonder to behold—walk out onto a unique circular observation platform in the middle of the aquarium, and you’ll find yourself almost completely surrounded by water. It’s like getting inside their world. In addition to the central tank, there are a variety of informative smaller exhibits where Nemo and his friends share knowledge about their wondrous underwater world. We enjoyed Bruce’s SharkWorld—a fun activity area where learned about the fearsome silent predators of the deep

I also think we saw a sign that points to the direction of a Florida drug rehab center
