An Evening With Greenwich And John Lloyd Cruz

-
I am not a fan girl but when Greenwich invited the Negros Bloggers to a meet and greet with John Lloyd Cruz last October 18,  I decided to go.  The invitation was for 7 PM, but I was there early because I had everybody's VIP passes with me and so that we can get good seats, but to my chagrin the cordoned off fountain area was almost full.  It's a good thing that Ms. Charo, Marketing Head for Greenwich Vis-Min area was there and she brought me to our reserved seats.

The program started with some Barkada games and then, the parade of masks.  The masks were entries for the Greenwich Masskara Mask-making Contest and one of the judges was the super-talented Mr. Jojo Vito of Vito Masks and Design Gallery, and also an active member of  Negrense Blogging Society, Inc.   Right after the mask presentations, came the much awaited arrival of John Lloyd Cruz!

John Lloyd introduces Greenwich's newest product, the Pizza Thin's, super thin, crispier and tastier crust with 3 cheese and premium toppings.  My favorite right now is the 7-Cheese shown below,

Of course, the evening would not be complete without a picture with John Lloyd Cruz.  In person, this guy is really cute with boy-next-door looks, and very charismatic. I found myself lining up with the rest of the guests for the photo-op.  He greeted us like we were old friends and it is this natural charm that makes him so appealing.  Now, I no longer wonder what Ruffa Gutierrez, Shaina Magdayao, and Angelica Panganiban saw in him ;-)   He's the type of guy that every mom would wish her daughter would bring home.



The event ended a little past 8 PM and we were treated to a Greenwich dinner of pizza and chicken. While waiting, a little commotion (and lots of screaming) happened at the counter.  It was John Lloyd working the crowd...this guy really knows how to woo people. 

Greenwich and John Lloyd Cruz...a perfect match!

The "Pwede Na" Mentality...Mediocrity as a Life Principle

-

I was driving to work this morning and as usual, I found myself getting annoyed by many wrong practices but commonly done by people that it got me thinking (while waiting for the traffic lights to change)... are these people either clueless or plain thoughtless that they are doing the wrong thing, OR are they people who know that they are doing wrong, but are inconsiderate and plainly just don't care, OR these people are aware that what they did is not quite right but then everyone is doing it, so they might as well do it too, OR people are so used to mediocrity that this has also become the principle they follow in life.

#MakeITsafePH - Online Safety For My Pre-Teen And For My Peace of Mind

The widespread use of the internet has given rise to the emergence of internet-related crimes such as rape, theft, bullying and piracy which made the public, especially the youth, very vulnerable. I have a nine year old (soon to be ten) daughter whose online presence is growing day by day. This is something inevitable and so, for my peace of mind and for my daughter's online safety, I have established a set of rules regarding internet usage.

Retirement Story: Realizations, A Year And Seven Months After

-

After retirement in April 2021, I heartily said...It is ME time, but a year & seven months after...NOPE, not really. When I ended my time spent on all the bureaucratic maze of government service, I thought...this is it, finally Freedom. But you know what, all that is an illusion because I just got busier...at home. With what, one might ask...with everything...EVERY LITTLE and BIG THING. All of a sudden, I was at home everyday, available within sight any time, with no clear schedule for my day. This is the first time in 60 years that this (I am home the whole day & night) happened. I started school at age 6, and I began working right off college, until mandatory retirement. Unlike my Mom who both managed work, home, and children, I was all work and play. When she passed in 2019, I was still out at work the whole day, and although now I had to run the household, work was still the priority. Looking back these last 19 months of being at home almost 24/7, I am at awe at how my mot
