    Within the last quarter of 2020 and the whole year of 2021, we’ve all missed face-to-face events and business – and we are worse for it, especially in the social media, blogosphere, video creators, etc.. And yes, we’ve been stuck behind our computer screens for two years now, it’s sometimes hard to remember the power face-to-face events have and particularly, how those chance meetings at live events can come about so unexpectedly and yet be so profound.

    Honestly, I miss all the personal interactions. The chances of meeting and to have conversations between delegates, event sponsors, exhibiting companies or even the event organizers, that lead to everything from business collaborations, knowledge sharing and ongoing relationships, business or otherwise.



    I was invited to attend Round Table Discussion about Gender & Art, but it turns out I'm having a one-on-one interview with some of the Bai Hinang artists.

    I'm so honoured to interview two wonderful artists of BaiHinang Davao Women Artists in the BAI CHROMATICA ART Women's Month Showcase held at La Herencia Davao. The exhibition is open to the public at the Arc Library in La Herencia Davao, F. Torres St., Davao City.

    BTW, BaiHinang is Davao City's first all female artist group. It's a mix of professional artists and hobbyists, its main goal is to showcase the plethora of artistic talents, from realistic paintings to pure abstractions.

    Thanks so much Jacinta Eve Sevilla of @tesori.rosari and Aimee Suarez of @aimeesuarezart

    Watch the full interview here ⬇️⬇️⬇️



    BAI HINANG DAVAO artist Jacinta Eve Sevilla.



    The love for nature and animals are her inspiration in creating her works. She is also into making jewelries and rosaries. You can check some of her works at her Instagram @tesori.rosario


    BAI HINANG DAVAO artist Aimee Suarez is now more inclined in creating oil canvas painting.


    She gets her inspiration from the daily lives of the people, places and environment.

    Indeed, face-to-face events really are what makes the world go round! So glad I'm back, doing the things I loved. Thanks to BaiHinang Davao and Tita Mae Fe Ancheta for invitation.

    Though the RTD becomes a one-on-one interview,  still our discussion is their own interpretation regarding GENDER & ART,  what inspire them and where do they get their inspiration. Both artists express themselves through their art, the outcome of the cultural process of sexual and social identity is well-presented through their artworks.

    I totally agree in the article I've read at RoolingStone.com entitled "FINALLY, RESEARCH SUGGESTS FEMALE ARTISTS ARE MORE CREATIVE THAN MEN". It's a new study from a music researchers that women are engaged in creative fields like art, music, and literature at higher rates than men – and are generally more creative than men! 

    For me, maybe because women are more patient and very endearing to their crafts and activities. We are more interested in, that if we like something, we work hard to have it! We are more compassionate biologically speaking and I agree to that! 👍




    Happy Women's Day to all!




    In a relationship there's always an Ups and Downs. They always say, it's normal and its inevitable. We cannot control what's going on, and as significant they are, we pay little attention to the changes as they become part of our daily life. Partners tend to believe that we have control over our relationships, that is sometimes both don't know how to fix it and in the end partners will argue a lot in small things and sometimes if we don't know what to do, we give up!




    "Ayoko na" meaning "I don't want it anymore". You will find that your relationship is uncomfortable,  both of you is in a dark place, and you're not certain when or how things happened. This is what I found out between these two partners, Elisae Joson and Mccoy de Leon. I was shocked when I read their posts in the social media respectively.


    ‘Ayoko na. Gabi gabi na lang akong walang tulog’: Elisse and Mccoy foreshadow break-up in cryptic post 


    THE CRYPTIC POST


    Elisse Joson and Mccoy de Leon, or “McLisse”, were first discovered through the popular reality television show Pinoy Big Brother Lucky Season 7 back in 2016. Both contestants were very expressive of their feelings, especially Mccoy. And fans were also quick to notice that they have an undeniable connection and chemistry. As years went by, the two showbiz newbies went from close friends to being first-time parents to 10-month-old daughter Felize McKenzie.

    Many fans follow the two PBB alums on their social media platforms, and they were left shocked and wondering what happened to the two, especially just after Elisse’s birthday surprise party for Mccoy and Felize’s baptism. In the afternoon of March 04, 2022, Elisse published a cryptic post.



    According to the actress, “Akala ko okay na pero nakakapagod pala. Gabi-gabi na lang akong walang tulog. Babad sa isip ko kung paano matitigil yung paghihirap namin ni baby. Ayoko na.”



    This post did not sit well with fans of the couple. They shared theories on what could be the source of this tension. Some say there could be issues within their families, financial problems, and many more.

    Later that day, Mccoy also took a jab at the issue and posted what he was feeling.

     

    Mccoy expressed how he also feels weighed down by the situation, “Nahihirapan na din ako.” Regardless of how hard things are right now, the young father is not giving up on his partner and daughter saying he will find a way to give them protection, “At sana kahit ganito, hindi tayo bumitaw dahil gagawin ko ang lahat mapasaya at maprotektahan lang kayo.”


    We have reached out to both camps about this issue, and they are still yet to respond. 



    Hope both camps will respond to answers all the queries regarding their posts. I know that Good Communication,  no matter how busy you are both, see to it that you can sit down with your partner and have a one-on-one time talk without the busyness of life. Make it easy — nothing over the moon or strenuous. The goal is to TALK and have fun - together. 

    I'm a fan of these two wonderful parent celebrities. I like all of their songs, especially "Tatlong Beinte Singko" and "Bakit Pa". So glad to hear that they will be having a concert tour together with their daughter Jayda.

    Dingdong Avanzado is known as the Philippines’ Prince of Pop. He is a multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most outstanding concert performers in the Philippines over the last two decades.




    His hit songs like “Makapiling Ka Sana”, “Basta’t Kasama Kita”, “To Love Again”, “Tatlong Beinte Singko” and “Paalam Na” all became love anthems and movie themes in the late eighties and early nineties making Dingdong one of the most celebrated recording artists of his time.

    Dingdong has one distinct thing in common with other notable Philippine singers and music artists like Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, Carlo Orosa, Louie Ocampo, Mel Villena, Rowell Santiago, and Gary Valenciano, to name a few – they were all members of Kundirana.

    The Kundirana is a renowned high school music ministry and organization composed of 3rd and 4th year high school students from La Salle Green Hills. The group is known for developing successful professional singers and musical artists. Once chosen from a rigorous audition, a Kundirana member undergoes intense training in both singing and dancing, eventually becoming ambassadors of goodwill.

    Jessa Zaragoza is known as the Philippines’ Phenomenal Diva due to the success of her hit song “Bakit Pa?”. The song became the number one ballad in the Philippines in the late 90s. It is also the carrier single of her album, Just Can’t Help Feelin, which reached sextuple platinum months after its release in 1996.


    She is married to Dingdong Avanzado and has a daughter, Jayda.

    Jayda, Janelle Amanda Loyola Avanzado in real life, is Dingdong Avanzado
    and Jessa Zaragoza’s only daughter. She is now making a name in the music industry
    as a singer-songwriter with her hit composition “Happy For You”, a single from her debut EP, In My Room, which was released in 2018.



    Jayda also performed at 1MX, the biggest International Filipino Music Festival, held in Singapore in 2019 and 2021 in Manila.

    Jayda is one the Philippines’ rising stars of her generation.

    Revelation: The Concert Tour in the U.S.” is the very first LIVE event from TFC to be held in the U.S.



    The concert is a “family affair” – headlined by OPM/Pop singer and the “Original Prince of Pinoy Pop” Dingdong Avanzado; with his wife, Jessa Zaragoza – the “Phenomenal Diva” and one of the Philippines' biggest selling female recording artists.

    Joining them is their daughter – Jayda – touted as  the next artist to watch out for. She has shown extraordinary musicality even at a very early age, writing her first song at the age of 12.

    Dingdong and Jessa are two of the big-name artists in the 90s and many 1st-gen FilAms would be familiar with their discography, while Jayda is an up-and-coming artist for the new generation of music lovers.

    In Southern California, Revelation: The Concert Tour will be on March 12 at the Alex Theater, 216 N Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203. Ticket prices for the Glendale leg are: $158.00; $128.00; $98.00; $78.00; $70.00; $65.00; $50.00.

    Revelation goes to Northern California on March 26 at the Fox Theater, 2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063. Ticket prices for this venue are: $55, $45,$35.

    I'm not a techy person, that's why I barely touch my site when it comes to technical issues. But, I'm not a technophobe person or having the fear of technology, because I can easily adjust to the digital world. I just don't like complexity, especially when it comes to site issues.




    In today's rapidly changing world, it can be easy to feel out of touch. Well, that's  my experience when I transfer my domain name to the new Zcom site. Whenever there's a major change in how we do things, particularly if there's a technicality involved, my anxiety is likely to occur.

    When Zcom emailed me that I have to transfer my domain name to their new site, I am hesitant to do it. It's a kind of hassle in my part, as a writer/blogger its not my job to do the transferring. BTW, I have three domain sites: palraine.com, glamourholicmom.com and foodiepalonline.com. The first two domain I got it from GoDaddy and the latter I got it from pangalan.com.

    foodiepalonline.com originally is from pangalan.com. But pangalan.com transfers all their clients to Zcom way back 2019. The process of transferring that time is so much easier compared today. The only problem I encounter is the difficulty in communicating with pangalan.com customer service and tech people, because no one is answering my queries at their website. So glad, that I got to search for their mobile contact number, and that's why the transferring is so fast and easy.

    THE TRANSFERRING WITH ZCOM




    February 21. I click the link they emailed me to do the transferring, and all went well. TRANFER WAS COMPLETED.






    February 26. After 5 days, when I open my foodiepalonline.com site to make a draft for another article, I discover that my site is down. It was Saturday and Zcom Customer Service is available only from Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm, but still I message them via Facebook Messenger and Emailed them too. I was surprised when someone reply to my query the next day (that is Sunday). 😲 

    The problem is my DNS or my Domain Name System, it's not properly set, that's why my site went down. They give me another link to follow on how to put my DNS properly since my hosting is from the Blogspot or Blogger.com.

    Upon opening the link and see all the procedures, I got lost! I don't know what to do anymore. I give up and honestly, I got confused!

    I ask Veronica of Zcom to help me navigate my cpanel, and so happy she assisted me. She's the one who made the transfer and viola! Monday morning I wake up early and check my site and its up already.

    Read my conversation with Veronica of Zcom via Facebook Messenger:





















    I'm pretty sure that some of you will say, "it's very easy!" Yeah, for you, but not for me. I just hope that migrating to another site will not be too hassle to us (for those who are not so techy), because honestly it consume our time. Instead of doing our daily job or activities, we cannot anymore focus because of the transferring.

    I'm a writer, not a techy person. I don't have a technical background, I didn't know what to do, the first attempt wasn't very good. And base in our conversation,  I tried hard to learn the procedures given, how hard it can be which is foolish to say, "Not everybody can do this. The job is more on "technicality" than a "writer". 😂😂😉 Well, the bottom line is that I am a "writer", hope Zcom will have another way of doing the transferring by not giving a hard time to their clients, doing all the DNS transfer etc.,  I'm just so lucky that Veronica is there patiently guiding me all the way.

    Anyway, I'm very happy that my site foodiepalonline.com is UP!

    Today's generation,  the Agricultural industry made a very satisfactory progress in terms of producing first quality animals, which are well nourished and in a good state of health for processing into meat foods.


    Sunpride Foods, Inc. (SFI)’s hog and cattle slaughterhouse is the first modern facility of its kind in Cebu. It was completed in 2013 and has been in operation since. The modernization ensures optimal slaughterhouse hygiene and higher meat recovery for SFI to serve the market with safe and clean  quality meat products.

    Even prior to its modernization, SFI’s slaughterhouse has been given an “AAA” accreditation by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS). It has also received certifications for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).

    “Sunpride’s motivation, as always, lies in its commitment to the people – to provide customers with the best slaughtering service in the industry and assure the Cebuano community that all implemented hygiene and sanitary standards are followed to the very detail,” said Don Hanley Wong, Marketing Head of SFI.

    Located within SFI’s main meat processing plant and compound at S.E. Jayme St., Paknaan, Mandaue City, the 1,700-square meter slaughterhouse is equipped with state-of-the-art machines and equipment that can process 100 to 120 hogs per hour and 25 cattles per hour.  The high throughput translates to an equally high recovery rate of 82% for live hogs weighing 100 to 120 kilos.



    The modernized facility involves process improvements that minimize pre-slaughter stress on the hogs and cattle to ensure quality meat.

    Most importantly, SFI’s modern slaughterhouse boasts of improved hygiene and sanitation practices.  The animals processed through SFI’s facility are hoisted up a continuous motorized conveyor line rail system to keep them from touching the floor throughout the entire process. The slaughterhouse is equipped with cold storage rooms where carcasses are stored to maintain freshness.



    To prevent meat contamination, the facility is also zoned into different sections. Each section has a designated personnel entry point, to minimize unnecessary personnel movement from one zone to another. Cleaning stations are further equipped with knee and foot actuated faucets, and workstations are strategically designed to facilitate good meat and personal hygiene practices.

    Sunpride Slaughtering Services is open to companies and individuals having their own hog business. For inquiries or bookings, please call Ms. Alieda Argawanon at 3467805 local 130 or 132 | 0917 304 9695.

    You may also visit their newly revamped website at sunpridefoods.com or their official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sunprideofficialpage.

    The livestock industry thrives only to the extent that the consumer has confidence in the products; consequently the undernourished, neglected animal which are apparent in the past is no longer to be seen—to the animal world. First and foremost, the public health is the first thing to look in the preparation of meat foods, that is one of the essential not to forget in order to prevent the spread of diseases to man and other animals and to ensure a sound edible products. Congratulations Sunpride Food, Inc!
