Whenever people would go to Laguna, passing by the different Buko Pie and Cassava stores are always part of the route and agenda. Truly, Laguna is a place where most people spend their vacations. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Lately, many people have been talking about a "hidden" luxury hotel in Laguna. They say that its so luxurious, you would be so shocked that the rates are very low. The place I am talking about is <a href="http://www.tracecollege.edu.ph/index.php">TRACE Suites</a>. It is a 5-star hotel, located in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Traceville, El Danda St., Batong Malake, Los Banos, Laguna</span>. When you visit the place, you will be welcomed with warm smiles and quality service as their attendants would always make sure that their customers' needs are met. The place is so big that (if requested) they would drive you, using a golf cart, to the swimming pool, courts, gym, and other sports facilities. <span style="font-weight: bold;">All the aquatic sports of the last 2005 SEA Games were held there.<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://www.filipinasoul.com/trace-suites-five-star-service-in-a-small-town/">Filipina Soul</a> also wrote about the place, and it was also featured in <a href="http://www.lagunatourism.com.ph/TRACEsuites.htm">Laguna Tourism. </a></span><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Trace Suites </span><br /><br /></div><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWyoMyL3DTcFJksTceaQK886YseRnH2OJEwiY0J0JYDDthqWfdE1TdXBFU-B8qcyrq9tx-NPYf1o5VzqnRCDHV4R9HP42ecG6GGCMTxl0YHtxqYw0H9eA5FFOQLqhbTtDZmJNz4e5INg/s1600-h/DSC-5637.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWyoMyL3DTcFJksTceaQK886YseRnH2OJEwiY0J0JYDDthqWfdE1TdXBFU-B8qcyrq9tx-NPYf1o5VzqnRCDHV4R9HP42ecG6GGCMTxl0YHtxqYw0H9eA5FFOQLqhbTtDZmJNz4e5INg/s400/DSC-5637.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294414610930918434" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Their selection of cuisines are marvelous</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">!</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> </span>From Filipino, to American, to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean!

What does this mean? yup! yup! yup! <a href="http://www.mcdonaldsph.com/">Mcdonald's Philippines</a> has done it again! </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Once again, they have produced a great commercial that has captured every Filipino's, or at least most Filipino's attention. The most capturing aspect of the commercial is the song <a href="http://www.azchords.com/e/eraserheads-tabs-1347/hulingelbimbo-tabs-137301.html">Huling El Bimbo</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraserheads">The Eraserheads</a>, and of course, the story of friendship and heartbreaking relationships. Mcdonald's always focuses on the idea that families, friends, lovers, and other groups of people from different walks of life go to Mcdonald's and experience memorable moments -- this may be a birthday, a get-together, a family lunch, a date, and in the case of the commercial, a relationship that was built in childhoold and a love that was strenthened but torn apart in adulthood = <span style="font-weight: bold;">MEETING HIS FIRST LOVE AT McDONALDS. </span>When I got to watch the commercial on YouTube, I was honestly teary-eyed! I even plurked about my reaction :<br /></div></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">"Feeling ko may part 2 yan!!!

In addition, to make the Filipinos talk about it, they used the ever-so-famous-"Bigo"-ending of the nice, simple and humble guy being a little disappointed, and a little heart-broken for not having the girl for himself because he has loved her since they were kids, and she ended up with someone else. </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Chorus of the Song Huling El Bimbo :</span><br />(I tried translating it haha bare with me)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><pre><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">"Magkahawak ang ating kamay</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">We were holding each others hands</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">At walang kamalaymalay</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">without even noticing</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">that you have taught my heart</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Na umibig ng tunay"</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">how to love truly</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">So Freakin' Sweet Right?</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Presenting!</span><br />the Newest, Cheeziest, McDonald's Commercial<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">"FIRST LOVE"</span><br /></span><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CFOQORGU-Pw&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CFOQORGU-Pw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /></pre></div><br /><br /></div></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span>Passion-istahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224335628757135971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191101854203910490.post-81217769932928014172009-01-14T01:14:00.000-08:002009-01-23T21:19:13.948-08:00What Hollywood Movies are in store for 2009!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I got this list from <a href="http://yahoo.com/">Yahoo! </a>the other day.

My personal favorite is their short movie presentation with the letters "H, B, and O" being shown from different angles and symbols such as the train in the tunnel of "O", and the like. These are the ones shown before the actual movie will start. Truly, HBO has come up with a line that will forever fill up a space in my communication favorites.<br /><br />Their new tag line that is <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:times new roman;">"Its not TV, its HBO"</span></span> is so self explanatory. It simply means that its not the flat screened TVs that gives us, the audience a movie experience of the lifetime, rather, its HBO. Home Box Office for me means the <span style="font-weight: bold;">best movies. </span></span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Since I was a kid, HBO has been in my top 5 favorite channels. Sometimes I even wonder who picks the movies that are to be shown in <a href="http://www.hboasia.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HBO-Asia</span></a>. I've always wanted to tell the person-in-charge-of-the-movie-lists that he has a very nice taste. Whenever its a Friday or a Saturday, and I'm at home, I just turn the channel to HBO because I know that when its a weekend, HBO will surely show the coolest movies! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Actually right now, I'm watching <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shrek the Third</span>! Haha! I've been waiting for this movie for so long! I even have the complete set of DVDs! LOL! Anyway, I blogged about HBO because their new tag line really caught my attention, not only because its so nice, but I was actually able to relate to it. It is very true, it is HBO that gives you the one of a kind experience in watching movies. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well, cheers to HBO! =)</span><br /><br /><br /></span>Passion-istahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224335628757135971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191101854203910490.post-56151999731270186472008-12-28T10:27:00.000-08:002009-01-23T21:19:13.987-08:00Cute Doggie Theif Snatches a Rawhide and Makes a Clean GetawayA Dog in Utah enters a Store, goes straight to aisle 16 where the dog food area is, snatches a raw hide dog bone, and makes the best theft getaway of the lifetime! haha!

Though this Dove campaign brought about certain issues such as being accused of using this kind of campaign just to increase their sales, and that the organization has a sister company which sells cosmetics (this I am not sure of, I just read it form a comment in youtube), Dove was still able to get the support of the many. It made such a big impact on people, especially women, because it is an issue that every woman is having and is embarrassed to share with others, fearing that she may be seen as someone who is not very confident about herself.<br /><br />I guess being supportive and helping people with their problems is really an effective way of being a part of their lives. Dove has probably been a part of almost every woman's life since the Self Esteem Campaign. Proceeds of the sales go to the project's funds. I love the way Dove introduced its campaign to the people. Not only that their ads are very touching, they also sounded very credible because captions in between pictures of girls are about researched information. I will continuously support this project as I have since its launch because I know that somehow, somewhere in this cruel world, a part the money I contributed by buying their products has helped a young or old lady with a distorted thinking of beauty<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-family:times new roman;" >Positive Self Esteem is about being able to celebrate differences -<span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ph/flat3.asp?id=7104">Dove Campaign</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ytjTNX9cg0&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ytjTNX9cg0&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ph/dsef/temp2.asp?id=6605">DOVE SELF ESTEEM CHECK (Take the test)</a><br /></span><span class="midblack">Do you have a positive body image?

Some said that its also a desperate way of making people buy Mcdo's cheeseburgers. While some, saw it as a good marketing strategy because it targeted a wide range of publics in this Pinoy Land</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. Most people ev</span><span style="font-family:arial;">en had that "pa cheeseburger ka naman" joke as part of their lifestyle. </span><span style="font-family:arial;"> The theme of the burger commercial says something like <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">"k</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">ahit anong dahilan nalang, matikaman lang ang cheeseburger ng Mcdonalds"</span>. During the peak of the commercial series, hearing different groups of employees, couples, and teens say "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKMuEwcs_cY&feature=related">Pa Cheeseburger ka naman" </a>was like a part of my daily/ weekly adventure. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Geeez, it was like the latest fashion trend! In La Salle alone, from ENG gate to Miguel Building, there are about 1 to 2 hirits in a week. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;" >Nag-hit siya sa mga Pinoy dahil tayong mga Pilipino ay madaling patawanin, mababaw sa mga jokes, at mahilig magbiro, tapos hihirit ng Libre.
