Netizens' Reactions on Dari Creme's Newest Commercial: Disliking the Ad, Not the Child!

Photo Credit: magnolia.com.ph/youtube screen grab

Anything under the sun can go viral now -- getting shared and receiving lots of likes, reactions and comments on social media -- so as this newest TV ad from Dari Creme.

Here are the netizens' reactions:











Don't get us wrong. 

When I first saw Dari Creme's newest commercial/TV ad, I was amazed how cute the child is and how the family eats breakfast together. Hence, I felt disappointed to hear the responses of the cute little boy while voicing out and sharing his concerns to his parents. Perhaps, I expected to hear 'po' and 'opo' as we all expect such from our own kids.

And how a product that is "Pinipili ng mapiling ina" can tolerate such manner of dealing with the parents/guardians...

A call to concerned agencies and authorities!
We need to be more conscious of what we air on TV as even the very 'least details' may do more harm than good not just to the target market but to the viewers (of all ages) as well.

We earnestly hope that we could do something about this, especially the boy is so cute and adorable.

See for yourself and let us know your thoughts. Please feel free to post a comment and let's join hands in promoting good TV ads. #ValuesInTVAds

Opening Prayer in a Wedding Reception - Sample and Guide




Wedding  Reception Prayer - Sample

Almighty Father,

We are gathered here today to celebrate the blessings of marriage for Ren and Mai and to lift their hearts' desires as they finally become one in the sacrament of matrimony.

No one here knows what the future holds for them but we acknowledge that it is You who hold their future. And we ask that you bless and protect them as You fill their lives with Your grace and wisdom.

We ask that this would be a marriage made in heaven, praying that our bride and groom would continually desire to be a heavenly mate.

Lord, draw their hearts together in love and unity. Teach them how to enjoy working together, playing together, dreaming together and living the wonderful life you bestowed them.

May they be determined to make You the center of their home. But most of all, dear God, help them to keep the torch of love blossom in love and light that by their loving example they may pass the same love and goodness to their children and to their children's children forever.

These we ask through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord… Amen.

DIY Cebu-Bohol Travel Itinerary: Where To Go And What Tourist Spots To Visit In Cebu And Bohol

Our little man, Eieo prepares himself as he takes his first zipline experience at the Sagbayan Peak, Bohol.
Traveling is good, having some quality time to relieve stress is better, but 'discovering the world' with your loved ones is simply the best. I always praise and thank God for letting us travel as much as we can. That despite our hectic schedule -- managing our personal and professional errands, our ministries and all -- we still see to it that we always find some precious time to travel and explore God's lovely creations. 

Appreciating the nature, the people and everything in between always brings joy to our hearts. And seeing our unico hijo happy and excited is priceless. We are so blessed to be able to pack our bags and head unto a family getaway.

Travelling within a certain budget is a challenge. You need to cut some costs without compromising fun and the tour itself. But fortunately, we are always able to do it -- maximize our time, effort, resources, and even the travel per se. 

Here are some of the tourist spots that you should never miss when you get a chance to visit Cebu and Bohol...

Visit Cebu:
Monastery of the Holy Eucharist or Simala Church or Simala Shrine in Sibonga Cebu
Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod 
Magellan’s Cross
Basilica Minore Del Sto Nino & Cebu City Cathedral
Cebu City - Countryside Tour

Visit Bohol:

Sagbayan peak
Chocolate hills
Ship house
Butterfly sanctuary
Man made forest
Tarsier sanctuary
Zipline

Blood compact 
Hinagdanan cave
Tagbilaran Cathedral
Bohol Churches
Panglao Church and WatchTower

Panglao Island
Alona White Sand Beach
Dumaluan Beach

Feel free to contact me so I can share to you our DIY Cebu-Bohol Itinerary, five days, 4 nights!

Chilling out (one lovely night with hubby and kiddo) while loving everything in between: the beautiful beach, the white sand, the yummy food, the relaxing music, the cozy ambience, and of course, the sweet fellas we meet... Bohol is L-O-V-E!


Happy Summer, fellas!

College Graduation Opening or Welcome Remarks Sample

graduation opening remarks

This is the season, once again, when many students experience the best part of schooling: GRADUATION. After spending most of their time studying and doing their school stuff, they will now enter another world, another phase of their lives... another milestone.

With that, I would like to share with you a sample of a graduation speech uttered in any school commencement or graduation programme. Others call it "opening remarks for graduation" while some tag it as "welcome remarks".  I made this one to help you out. Get rid of anything that will stress you (and that even include preparing a speech)... so you can just be confidently beautiful (with a heart) on your big day!

I do hope it could serve as a guide/pattern for those students who were given the honor to address the guests, teachers, parents, fellow students and other event attendees.

To the graduating batch of 2016; Congratulations! Kudos!

Graduation Welcome Remarks


Distinguished guest speaker, _______________, respective guests, beloved teachers, alumni, parents and most especially my friends and fellow candidates, a blessed morning/afternoon/evening to you all.

We are all gathered here today to celebrate another milestone in the lives of the graduating class of 2016. Graduation is about endings and beginnings, a celebration of achievement and the commencement of a transition to a different chapter in our lives as young, productive and responsible adults. 

This is indeed the moment we have all been waiting and praying for.
Today also marks our triumphs over rigorous academic training and challenges as well as the culmination of years of hard work, tons of sweat to achieve academic excellence and invaluable efforts to make us grow into someone we all want to be.

Hence, on behalf of the graduating class, I would like to express our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to all those who have helped us, in one way or another, in the realization of our purpose and pursuit of our aspirations.

To our loving parents, especially to Daddy __________ and Mommy ________, thank you for your unconditional love and sacrifices. Please know that without you and your selfless love, we won’t be where we are today. Maraming salamat po… and we love you.

To our proud guardians, families, friends, administrators, mentors, fellow graduating class, and to all of you, who have been our inspirations to move forward and continue living our dreams, please accept my warmest thanks and humble congratulations.

My fellow candidates, our diploma validates our degree, thinking it as our ticket to a brighter future. Well, let me ask you to think of an alternative: “Let us use it as our ticket to change the world and make a difference.”

Again, congratulations and welcome to the ___ th Commencement Exercise! God bless us all!


Hope this helps! Please do read my next article. Thanks for the visit!
