It was through Azrael that we were able to cover the Philippine International Jazz Festival Event in Eastwood Mall Central Park. The Black Gospel Choir was already singing when we got there. The response from the crowd was obvious, they were enjoying themselves with the Jazz worship that this group is offering. The spontaneity of the worship leader and their arrangements were hit. This is one of my favorite from their repertoire. Their reindition ofShackles (Praise You) by Warryn, Erica and Trecina Campbell.

Here is the lyrics just in case you would like to sing along:
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance,I just wanna praise You I just wanna praise You
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands, And I’m gonna praise You
I’m gonna praise, praise you
In the corners of my mind, I just can’t seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free Cause you see I have been bound for so long
Felt like all hope was gone, But as I lift my hands I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance
Everything that could go wrong, All went wrong at one time
See so much pressure fell on me, I thought I was gonna lose my mind
Lord I know You wanna see if I will hold on through these trials
But I need You to lift this load Cause I can’t take it no more
Been through the fire and the rain, bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain, so let me go right now
After the Black Gospel Choir, Juan Isip came in to perform their numbers. It was then followed by Logic, which I also immensely enjoyed. This world renowned Australian jazz band played jazz like no other, very unique with a contemporary sound. Watching them perform makes one think that they are really just having fun playing.
I love the fact that Eastwood is opening their doors to international performers and displaying all this wonderful artists. We were later toured around the mall by Tinay, the marketing officer of Eastwood City. It was not actually the first time that we went there, but it sure was the first time that I actually appreciated the superiority of Eastwood compared to malls I have been to.
There were at least a couple of shops (Haze and Luca) that as of now are only exclusive in Eastwood. This mall alone boasts of a free butler service to be with you as you shop or even carry your pet for you. Eastwood Mall happens to be the only pet friendly mall as far as I know. Don’t get me started yet how spectacular their movie house is, because it will sure blow you away. I guess it would be safe for me to say that it is the most fantabulous movie house Manila has to date.

I have had this container of Edmark’s Miracle 2000 for probably more than four years now and it has not ceased to be handy for every nasty mark and even wipes clean even the most impossible to clean. This multi-purpose cleaner is non-toxic, unlike those usual wipe out that we use to traditionally clean computers and what have you’s.
I especially love how the stickies come off without hassle (those little dark spots that is left behind when a sticker is taken off). Our old as time desktop monitor looks as good as new when it was wiped clean with this real thick cream. It is very economical. Given the many times I have used it, it is still half full after four years. I already forgot how much I got it for, but if my memory still serves me right it was around PhP 200. ($5)
I have heard of this event’s place quite a number of times, but it was only last December that I got to actually “experience” the place. The place is nice and cozy, perfect for that small wedding ceremony. They do keep their restroom tidy. This is a major thing to consider for those who are thinking of an events place. It’s outdoor, so definitely you would have to expect bugs especially in the evenings.
Their caterer is among the top notch that I have come across. The room where the bride waits can get a little crowded. Especially when you think of the bride and the make up artist doing their thing before the event. But I should say, the one who manages the place certainly did a good job in creating the feel that Mango Farm has. It’s naturally cozy. The rural feel completes the perfect romantic wedding atmosphere.
Mango Farm is located inside Kingsville Court Subdivision, along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo City. Around three kilometers away from Masinag, Marcos Highway.
What better way to choose our wardrobe than knowing ourselves first. This is essential to be able to pick out the clothes that would rightly fit. I have seen countless of people ramp with supposedly ultra fashionable wears without considering if what they wear fit them. The issue is entirely beyond fashion.
I should say though that what a person wear does not dictate who he or she is, here’s just a suggestion to do better in managing your wardrobe and maybe rethink and consider the diet that we have. Choosing to live healthy goes a long, long way.
POISE is the quality of being able to adjust rapidly to new people or situations without losing your composure.
I. THE BODY LANGUAGE OF CONFIDENCE
A. VISUAL POISE
1. POSTURE – proper posture makes you look 10 years younger. Hold your head on the level. Sit up straight, but not stiff, on your chair.
2. Stand properly.
3. SITTING – Keep feet and knees together (ladies only)
CROSSING ONE’S LEGS – cross away over making knee joint appear.
4. Walk gracefully. (ladies only) and with bearing (for men)
5. Give a firm handshake to avoid appearing timid.
II. BODY LANGUAGE DON’Ts
1. Constantly fold your arms.
2. Keep one hand on the hips while talking.
3. Scratch scalp or different parts of the body.
4. Bite your lips or fingertips.
5. Chew gums while talking to others.
