SAMSUNG CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT AND EXCITEMENT

Samsung as International Presenting Partner for the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame
The Singapore 2010 Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame (JYOF) is the final countdown to the first Youth Olympic Games. The Olympic Flame for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games will be lit in Ancient Olympia, Greece, as with all modern day Olympic Games.
The Youth Olympic Flame, representing the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect, will then blaze a trail to one city in each continent – Berlin, Dakar, Mexico City, Auckland and Seoul – symbolically connecting youth of the world to the Olympic Movement and uniting them in a global celebration of upcoming Youth Olympic Games.
As the International Presenting Partner of the JYOF, Samsung will present a host of activities at city celebrations in each of the five international JYOF cities to welcome the Olympic Flame and to celebrate the Youth Olympic movement.
“SYOGOC welcomes Samsung’s sponsorship of the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame and the commitment that becoming a Presenting Partner represents,” said Mr. Goh Kee Nguan, CEO, SYOGOC. “The involvement of Samsung for the city celebrations at the five cities – Berlin, Dakar, Mexico City, Auckland and Seoul – complements what the cities are organising and we are confident that participants will have a memorable experience when the Youth Olympic Flame visits their city.”

It’s quite disappointing to see so many expat teams in the “Asian” edition of the race, but it should still be good fun to see familiar destinations in the show. Watch out for the show’s premiere on November 9th!

June is fast approaching. It’s not only the favorite knot-tying month but also the heymonth for businesses that earn most from the wedding season. It is also when parents have to be tighter with their budgets because school opening is fast approaching.
Just before youngsters say ta-ta to their swim suits and say hi to their uniforms, learn some back-to-school safety tips for your kids, you control freaks, err, concerned moms and dads out there.
1. De-gizmo your kid.
Aside from being thieves’ attention-grabbers, cellphones, ipods, and other techie gadgets can make a kid oblivious to his or her surroundings. Children go to school to learn and not to have leisure time tinkering on their stuffs particularly the really young ones. Sure cellphones are now considered protection gadgets as a parent can easily be updated with the whereabouts of his or her kid with just one text or call. But tell them to at least not use them while walking or when in crowded spots unless it’s an emergency.
2. Get the most out of PTA meetings.
PTA (Parents Teachers Association) meetings are not just about singilan and boring officer elections. Attending one is a good chance to know what your kid’s school is doing to keep him or her safe. Do they have a “no going out until dismissal time” policy? Are their fences high enough for ober da bakod attempts. You know that kids can be that desperate. How strict are their security guards?
Stuber, an instructor on how to keep your child safe when at school suggests that if your child is old enough to go to school all by himself, one way to help in ensuring that he or she reaches the school safely is to request for a call-back system. This is for the administration to call the parents if the child does not arrive at school.
3. Know your child’s route to school or his buddies.
One good way to monitor your child’s safety is to check if he or she will be walking any dimlit place or somewhere that is crime-prone. Paranoia can’t be avoided if you have a footloose kid whom you think can be easily excited by his or her friends to go malling or playing online games after school, if not (cross your fingers) while cutting classes. Be in control by taking time to befriend his or her friends. This way you may even talk to their parents on what measures to carry out to ensure the kids’ safety. If your kid has a yaya, get her involved with this too by quizzing her about your kids’ pals. Teaching her not to believe just about anything that a stranger instructs her to do can prevent your kid from being a victim of abduction, which is what many parents worry about the most when their kids are at school.
Now after knowing those tips on how you can make your child’s going back to school less scary especially for those with first-timers, it’s time for you to know a bit about how you can make yourself safer during the back-to-school shopping season. According to a report, Manila Police District advises that the following crime-prone places be avoided if you’re in the business district – Emerald Avenue, Pearl Drive, SM Megamall, San Miguel Avenue, Shaw Boulevard and Shangri-La Mall.

What if you don’t have too many compadres to serve as your backers for your job hunting endeavor? Do you feel like resorting to the old way of sending or worse, hand-carrying your 100′s of resumes to offices? Do you know where to go, who to contact or where to surf? Here are some tips:
1. Don’t ignore the bulletin boards.
If you used to frequent Nepo Mall just for the sheer pleasure of taking advantage of its AC units, now is high time to stop and read the bulletin posts. The one found just right before the escalator (alternative entrance) is more reader-friendly since it’s shielded from the scorching heat of the sun compared to the one found outside the main entrance.
By the way Cyber City Call Center is looking for 500 new agents, have you noticed that banner? Just be observant. Job opening posters and banners abound.
2. Value PESO
PESO or the Public Employment Service Office of your municipality is regularly updated with the recent job openings from various companies. PESO Mabalacat, Pampanga will be having a jobs fair this mid-May.
If you are eyeing on working abroad, there will be a jobs fair at Angeles City Library on May 24-26.24-25
3. Visit the right online job sources.
You’ve found this writeup. Better spend a few more minutes online productively. For Pampanga and Angeles City job openings, the job section of Pampangaonline’s classifieds might help. Jobstreet.com’s jobs at your home town Pampanga section is regularly updated with job posts, too.
4. Don’t get lost in Clark.
Clark Special Economic Zone, with its innumerable factories and call center firms, is one of the best stops for the unemployed. But if you’re a newbie with its where-to’s, you might end up just spending your last few pesos without your resume’s landing any office. You might want a copy of the contact numbers and addresses of the companies in Clark. You can email roancute@yahoo.com and ask Roan for a copy of his “Clark list.”
Getting to the Clark Special Economic Zone is easy. By car, take the North Luzon Expressway from Manila and exit at Dau, Mabalacat. Make a left turn towards Angeles City then a right to Clark. The trip should take about an hour and a half from Manila.
Now that’s just leading you to the job sources of course, winning an interview is another story. Good luck!

Here’s the real deal with the pros and cons of your Starbucks and/or Seattle’s Best indulgence:
Pros
It’s a common notion that coffee stimulates the nervous system, thus is considered an ally for those who burn the midnight oil either studying or working. According to theories, coffee improves the condition of one’s airways, which makes it beneficial for those with asthma. It is also reported to contain antioxidants that can combat free radicals that cause cancers.
So that’s woohoo for the coffee addicts, which includes me by the way.
Cons
As a consequence of its stimulating effect, it can aggravate insomnia. Coffee also stimulates the adrenal glands, which results to increase in stress levels. According to an article from Askmen.com, coffee can also reduce sperm count levels, which can lead to sterility! Uh-oh!
However, those pros and cons of coffee consumption are not yet fully confirmed. Would you like to know what kind of tangible damage can coffee really do to people?
It’s wallet damage.
This is especially true for those who can’t last a day without visiting Starbucks, Seattle’s Best or Coffee Overdose, Coffee Outlet and Northern Brew (for my fellow Angelenos.)
Ever watched that Extra Challenge episode where Nancy Castiliogne got so touched that she cried over the fact that her one hundred pesos that she loosely spends at Starbucks can feed a family with 5-10 members in one day?
For you to re-think about your coffee splurging, here’s a calculator from SoundMoneyTips.com that advocates slowing down on your expensive coffee obsession.

If you don’t want to leave your abode and yet would want to get the most of the vacay season, how do you make your home sweet home fulfill your bahay bakasyunan craving? Here are some tips inspired by the Summer Issue of Real Living Magazine April 2006 on how to conjure that summerific getaway feel for your home:
Banig is In
Wooden floors can be made more cozy with the texture and native designs of banig (native woven grass mats). Now doesn’t that make you feel bad that you chose to buy more edible pasalubongs from your last out of town trip than buy that banig with tribal designs?
What’s Wrong with a Sarong
The sarong is the beach equivalent of the infinite dress. Let your Picasso remakes rest for a while and this time make sabit the sarong on the wall. You can even throw away or maybe just keep your heavy sofa throw and use the feathery sarong instead. Tie-die sarongs are the best bet their colorful kaleidoscopic design complements best the summer season.
Fall for Indoor Waterfall
If you can’t visit Hinulugang TakTak, why not bring a piece of that heaven into your lowly abode by installing an indoor waterfall. One can surely benefit from the calming sound of the water trickling down from the indoor waterfall.
She Sees Seashells
Aside from using them as wind chimes, shells can very well make your windows more summerized and less boring. Don’t be shy to hit them yourself if the urban breeze fails to make them clink.
Go with the Greens
Live plants such as palms can easily freshen up any indoor space. Aside from serving as a natural air freshener, remember your Biology teacher blabbing about oxygen production and carbon dioxide consumption of plants? She’s actually telling the truth and it’s high time to benefit from such learning.
Where do you get these items? Visit Kulturang Filipino, Regalong Pambahay, Our Home or SM Department Store. Or you can even go to flea markets and tiangge for cheaper finds particularly the indigenous items. Other native home decor items can be easily handmade if you just let your creative juices flowing.
Don’t let yourself down with envy just because all your friends are having a great time in Boracay or Baguio. With just a few touches you can create your own little bahay bakasyunan. To complete the summer escapade ambience, don’t forget to turn up the volume of your mp3 with the funky music of Pedicab or Kamikazee, or Bob Marley or whatever suits your auditory.

Getting info on the net about the current movie scene is a mixed blessing. On one hand, you get lots of info on what’s currently showing in the various cinemas. On the other, info on future releases are inconsistent which makes inserting that much-awaited premiere into your tight schedule a bit of a challenge.
Here are some of the sites that can be useful in your online movie hunt:
- ClickTheCity: Probably the first gimmick site you should be going to. Also provides guides for TV shows and other events. Features movie reviews, movie news, a top ten list and movie synopses. Really helpful but I can’t seem to get info on the release dates on upcoming attractions.
- Yehey! Movies: It has a movie guide, movie reviews and news. What I’m missing are the movie synopses.
- Ayala Cinemas: Shows what’s showing in Ayala Cinemas (ATC, Ayala Center Cebu, Ayala Center Makati). Not much info here, though.
- IMDb: A quick schedule on when movies will be shown locally. Unfortunately, I won’t be betting on the local cinemas following this schedule, basing on past showings. Clicking the movie titles shows you some info on the movie.
From what’s available, I would say ClickTheCity is still the place to start when on the prowl for fresh flicks. None of the above satisfied me as to letting me in on when new movies were expected to be shown, though. Also, they left out ticket prices and until when I could catch the movie in theatres.
Initially, I was looking for a service that would let me know (for free or a very small fee) as soon as a movie was shown in theatres. Asa pa ako. I think the internet has spoiled me a bit too much.
For now, the first two sites are pretty good in telling you showtimes, where movies are showing and movie descriptions. So grab some cornik, a date and see you at the show!
