Red Wine And Roll Cake

 

Novellino Classic Sweet Red Wine and Goldilocks Cake Roll

 

I went this afternoon at SM Southmall, Las Pinas City. Since I had read from the internet last night that red wine is good for the heart, I drop by at SM wine and liquors section to buy the item.  Since its the 24th of December there are lots of people buying wines at that time.  I asked the saleslady which red wine is the best among the items that are displayed on the racks.  She suggested that I buy the Novellino Red Wine which has a sweet taste.  So decided to buy two for an added drinks during our Noche Buena.  I bought also one cake roll from Goldilocks which is my favorite.  Everytime I do the rounds of malling, I never forget to buy cake roll from Goldilocks.  My family like it also very much.

 

This will be my first time to drink a red wine. As per my research, red wine contains resveratrol which is a powerful antioxidant compound.  So drinking two glasses of red wine a day can protect our heart and prevents cardiovascular disease. Other benefits of red wine are a good source of preventing cancer and tooth decay.

On the 23rd Day of December 2012

I met my closest friends and college buddies today at Robinsons Place Manila.  They are Precy and Gemma.  Although we are only a company of three, we enjoy our buffet lunch at Cabalen and shared each others life story for the past 2 years I'm away from Philippines.  The last time we were together was on my last vacation of February 2010. Here are some snapshots of our get together.

It's Christmas Time

It's my eight day of my vacation in the Philippines and everywhere you go, the spirit of Christmas is all around the place especially from the biggest malls of Manila and it's surrounding cities.  As I went to Robinsons Galleria along Ortigas to renew my driver's license, I took some pictures of the Christmas trees and decorations from the malls I went through, from SM Megamall to Shangrila along Shaw Boulevard.

15 Years

Finally, I recently received my 15 years service award certificate from my company at Saudi Arabia. Together with the certificate is a Gift Card from Extra worth SR 4000.00 which I bought for 1 Nikon D5100 18-55 VR Kit Camera and a Sony Vaio E Series Laptop Intel Core i5. My family and friends are so very proud of my achievement and I'm very elated for the congratulatory messages I received from them. Fifteen years working on the same company is considered a long period of time. With hard work, perseverance, and dedication, nothing is impossible to achieve this goal. I focused mainly on my work despite some pressures and stress from workloads and the environment itself. I believe, to reach our goal successfully, we need to have a positive outlook in whatever endeavor we choose.  Here are the items which I bought from my SR4000 EXTRA Gift Card for my 15 years gift award.

Jubail

I want to share some pictures from the beautiful city of Jubail in the eastern part province of Saudi Arabia. You would think that Saudi Arabia is a place of desert land.  But in reality, there are some places or part of it that exist with full of beautiful parks and beaches.

We will miss you Lola (Nanay) Martha. Your sufferings are over and the pain is gone forever. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". We loved you dearly and we could not make you stay. I will always remember the times when we were together going to SSS, bringing me to the hospital when I was a child and was sicked taking care of me. You are always there to comfort me. Thank you very much Nanay Martha for the unconditional love. Magpahinga na po kayo at magkikita-kita na rin kayo ni Lolo Inong, Auntie Mila, Uncle Lando, Tito Obath and Tatay Imo. May you rest in peace Lola Martha, I love you po.

Butterfly

I wish I'm a butterfly.

I can go wherever I want.

I can feed myself from the nectars of every known flowers.

I can have different colors on my wings which represents my colorful life.

I can fly and spread my wings with fervor.

And most especially I am free!
