Mossimo Casting Call 2010

Out of 2, 263 kids there are a total of 1,799 kids selected and only 20 will be declared winner.I got his information from myfameandfortune link to se click here frensz.com site.

I received an email last June 24 informing me that Kiara was selected, though i do not know the criteria, I was excited.. I know Kiara is cute,, just like what every mother feel. i was excited on that day, i even want to have a pedicure for myself and had the gap clothes cleaned in the laundry shop and even had it pressed.

I even loaded the car with a thousand peso gas and paid the toll fee and then had to dine at Don Henrico for the Casting Call at Festival Mall. In short, I spend a lot for this and was a little disappointed when I see the crowd of babies and kids.

You know, it's like Kiara was special or so I thought then I learned of this statistics and I was correct at my hunch that they tried to include almost everybody. Make everybody feel special to even go to a a very far place, it will totally help the Festival Mall and i am sure there are a lot of kids who were wearing Mossimo clothes. Though it was not a requirement that they be in a Mossimo clothes. But I am sure they had a bit of earning from the mothers who wanted their baby to be models. I was fighting the urge to get a Mossimo shirt for Kiara, secretly I had that wishful thinking that I want at least for Kiara to be considered but then again I know it is really hard to get Kiara to do what we want. Kids are kids.

I do not want to accuse Mossimo, myfameandforture.com and the Festival mall of deceiving us mothers, because we came there at our own free will and we did not pay for anything. It is a valid model search and I just want to wish those selected luck and hope next time we can attend earlier and Kiara will learn to smile. She will be older then..

It was fun though seeing the mothers and the kids, prepping their children. Though it was also not fun seeing mothers asking their children to do what they want, like I've been in the waiting area and one mother was yelling to his son " sit, sit sit!" just like a dog..

What a sight!

Not Like The Movies Lyrics

I was surprised to know KC is the singer of this song. I thought it was a foreigner.
Good song, Original..

Not Like The Movies
(KC Concepcion)

I’m your average dreamer, I’m a true escapist
Always expecting a happy ending
Maybe I’ve been watching too many movies
Maybe I should grow up and start pretending
When I saw your face though, everything was slow mo
And I started wondering why..?…
Why can’t it be?
Just a pathway full of roses
Leading to a sunset view
Where the one you've always dreamed of waits
Why can’t it be?
It was like a movie scene, the way I felt for you
Only you didn’t fall, now it’s not like the movies at all
(…not like the movies at all..)
Should'a kept my heart charged
Should'a been more patient
Should'a kept an eye on my addiction
What was I expecting
Did I have a vision of a scene
That only lives in fiction
Now I know that you are not gonna be my co-star?
And i start to wonder why..

Vieux Chalet at Antipolo Rizal

Father's Day was celebrated at Vieux Chalet in Antipolo, Rizal. There were 9 adults and 3 kids, the total costs of the food costs 6,000 plus inclusive of tax.

When we got there and about to order pizza, they told us, there were no more pizza. So take a look below at what we ordered.

I did not get a picture of the Shrimp Ravioli in tomato sauce and the Fetuccine Alfredo.

Overall my rating will be a 2 out of 5 because of the cost, the cleanliness and quality of the food.
Cost is very expensive, Cleanliness, there were lizards at the dining area, cockroaches near the piano where the kids were playing and black ants in the restrooms, we had to call the attention of the staff to eliminate the black ants. It was everywhere, if you use the toilet it will crawl to your legs!
As for the quality of food, there was nothing special in the food, can get the same taste of the pasta and the entrees at a cheaper price in Mom and Tina's or any hotel.

Maybe I would recommend it to people who are on a date but if you are eating as a group, it is not worth the experience and the money to eat there.

I will not go back there, pictures lie, reviews lie, see and try it for yourself. But just like what I said or commented in the other blogs, we all have our individual differences. I may sound like I am releasing a bad review but I was not satisfied especially when they announced that they have no more pizza and I was craving for one. They reasoned that they were jampacked earlier and all the pizzas were ordered.



This is the herbed rice, 225 grande this is 3 orders of it..





Look at the presentation of the herbed rice at yugatech.com site.




This is the beef tenderloin grande costs 1250.00, sorry for the photo but it really looks like that..


Pink Salmon in Sauce Cafe de Paris
This one costs 885.00

Pink Salmon with Butter base sauce served with Rosti and Vegetables. Where is the Salmon, find it under the vegetables?
Around 2-3 pieces.. how much is 500 gms of Salmon? Go figure..


This is their table setting, awesome??


I am not sure if this is Berne Platte or Assorted Sausages this one costs around 1300.00. Expensive again!
Anyway it was my sister who paid for the bill and she will bill us later..
Not so reasonable, marami pa ang pinitpit na hashbrown..



This is Salad Tony costs 445.00. I enjoyed eating this as they have a different taste but then again, it is still expensive,
I could have twice the salad with another gourmet taste at Gumboo.


This is the left side of the restaurant, too simple, not too extravagant.


Sausage Festival costs 425.00
This is too pricey, I could get a bigger platter at a hotel particularly at Dusit Hotel with an overload of sausages, this could be just two pieces of two different kind of sausage.


This is a detail of the art at the other side of the room, you can see it in the other end of the hall in the picture below.


This is what you see when you reach the top stairs, it was a very small restaurant, do not be fooled with the image, we are using a wide angle camera.

Marco Vincent Resort in Puerto Galera

Perfect Vacation just outside of Batangas, I love it!

Reading With Kiara

The picture shown above was taken during a mall tour of Geronimo Stilton of Scholastic Books at Market Market in Taguig City.


Ever since Kiara was young, I keep on buying books for her to see and "read" books even if she can't read yet, she can recognize pictures especially of animals, shapes, colors and places. She will be turning 2 years old next month and what a milestone for her if she really could read.

Starting to read at a very young age can be rewarding because even if she cannot say the words but with repetition of familiar words she can remember things and words. One day we were surprised when she can recite the alphabet from A to E and we were even more surprised when she can count alternatively from one to ten. She also knows some basic colors like red, green, blue and yellow. I would like to think that this is because of our early interventions in her reading.

We just have to wait for her to pronounce the words properly and when she finally starts school I know she will be a bright kid.



For those mother who wants to have an early reading intervention for their kids they can visit dr marilyn jager adams for a list of books for your kids.

Statement of the PAP on the (Mis)Use of Psychology in the Current Electoral Campaign

he Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP)* considers some recent occurrences in the current electoral campaigns as an affront to psychologists and to psychology as a discipline and profession. In particular, partisan individuals and media practitioners have not only presented to the public fraudulent psychological reports, but have also made inaccurate statements about different aspects of the practice of psychology and the nature of psychological functioning. These irresponsible actuations have dangerous long-term effects on efforts of Filipino psychologists and other mental health professionals to address the psychological well-being of Filipinos. In this regard, the PAP would like to respond to and clarify some of the issues raised as a result of these political events.

First, the PAP denounces the release of the results of psychological tests or assessment to media and the public at large. In accordance with the PAP Code of Ethics, the results of psychological tests or assessment cannot be released to the media or the public or to any person other than the client. Any reputable individual psychologist or psychological organization ensures the practice of confidentiality and that the results of psychological tests or assessment are only shared with the client. Psychologists take reasonable steps to ensure that information to be disclosed will not be misused, misunderstood or misinterpreted to infringe on human rights, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Second, the PAP denounces the suggestions made by politicians, media practitioners, and others to force political candidates to take psychological tests or assessment. In accordance with the PAP Code of Ethics, individuals cannot be subjected to psychological tests or assessment without their informed consent. Any reputable individual psychologist or psychological organization ensures that informed consent is acquired from the client before conducting psychological tests.

Third, the PAP denounces the insinuation that people who see a psychologist or any mental health professional is “abnormal” or “permanently debilitated”. The PAP condemns the insinuation that depression is a permanent disability; and the use of words like “abnoy” , ‘sira ang ulo’and “may diperensiya sa utak” to label individuals. These irresponsible statements and similar acts perpetuate a profound lack of understanding of psychological concepts, of the nature of psychological problems and dysfunctions, and of the nature of psychological health and wellbeing.

The PAP would like to stress to politicians, to media practitioners, and to the public at large that seeing a psychologist or any mental health professional does not make a person “abnormal”. Seeing a psychologist means ensuring our mental health and psychological wellbeing.

This is an excerpt from their terms and conditions:

"At Lockerz, our membership is more than access to fabulous brands at amazing prices or discovering the coolest new music artists or videos. It's more than joining a social network that puts its customers first and rewards its membership with PTZ for making it thrive. It's a community -- of your friends, our friends and friends you've yet to make. So if you cheat the PTZ system (including, but not limited to, assisting others in cheating the PTZ system), you cheat the community, and for that you will lose your membership."

It's true that they feature a lot of artist and I am enjoying or discovering other culture because the videos are more of the British type.

I am now watching or following 'Prom Queen" which is a series of videos cut into 2 minutes each.
It's just like a very long commercial that you want to watch.
