    May 6, 2013 by ajay

    More and more visitors from around the world are flocking to Al Hamra, a picturesque coastal town located in thriving Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), one of seven sheikdoms of the United Arab Emirates.

    Under the strategic leadership of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the town of Al Hamra has been transformed into a world-renowned tourist destination featuring an abundance of leisure and recreational activities. Among these attractions, Al Hamra Golf Club is one of the most prestigious.

    A Hidden Oasis

    Tucked along the waters of the Arabian Gulf, the Al Hamra Golf Club is a place where expert golfers and budding novices can exist in harmony while enjoying tee time on a one-of-a-kind eighteen-hole golf course. The course features four open interconnected water lagoons for a breathtaking view as golfers make their way around the course.

    This popular golfing attraction was designed by Peter Harradine, the senior architect of his family business “Harradine Golf.” Considered an icon in the golfing industry, Harradine has designed more than 160 state-of-the-art golf courses around the world.

  3. Multiple Intelligence: going beyond IQ

    January 17, 2013 by ajay

    School need not be the feared fortress it’s construed to be. As a high school and college student, I tried hard to be a good learner but the most I could do with the effort was to land in the top 10. Pursuing a field I loved (journalism) was the one thing I don’t regret, even as this went against the will of my mom who wanted me to pursue a more lucrative science course. I would like to think that my career choice is the reason why am happy and comfortable at this stage in my life. I may not be the one in my batch who drives a BMW or has the biggest house but am content enough not to care about what everyone else is having :)

    Now that I am a mom myself, I try not to put the pressure on my children because I know that they will find their own way. What’s important is that they develop the discipline for learning, human relations and street smarts to cope with whatever life deals them later on.

    I guess the Multiple Intelligence theory supports me on this matter. In the recent 2012 Superkids Conference, co-sponsored by Progress Pre- School GOLD, renowned learning expert Dr. Thomas Armstrong said intelligence is not just about academics.

    “We are all born with the capacity for the 7 types of Multiple Intelligences- self, people, picture, logic, music, body, and word, but certain intelligences develop in different ways, and some at certain points of a child’s life,” Dr. Armstrong explained.

  4. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    November 23, 2012 by ajay

    Things are so fast-paced these days that saying ‘thank you’ is getting to be a luxury. I notice this when I give tips to taxi drivers or gasoline attendants, they don’t even say thank you anymore. I try to say thank you every time and not just because it’s a chore. I say this because life is short and the littlest things matter to other people. We must use our gift of speech and say things when the opportunity arises because the moment may never come again.

    1. I thank God for always weaving little miracles into our lives. Like any other family, we have our up’s and downs but we are thankful to be together, to be safe, comfortable and be able to eat three meals a day. Other families aren’t so lucky and we pray for them too.

    2. I gave birth to my youngest daughter Lucy when I was 40. Am thankful that she’s growing up to be smart and lively (and curly-haired). Truly the light of our lives.

  7. Men prone to osteoporosis too – study

    October 22, 2012 by ajay

    Painful back

    There are diseases commonly associated with men such as prostate cancer, high cholesterol, heart problems, strokes and blood pressure. But did you know that the dreaded bone disease osteoporosis is also creeping into their turf? Quite surprising since women have been historically known to be susceptible to bone breakage. Now it seems that lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking will make men liable to bone loss too.

    A study by the International Osteoporosis Foundation revealed that 1 out of 5 men over the age of 50 will suffer from an Osteoporotic fracture. Locally, data on osteoporosis in men is limited, but Bone Health check results from leading adult milk drink Anlene from August 2011 to July 2012 showed that 43 % of men (aged 26 to 65 years old) in the Philippines are at risk. This implies that action to be taken for the early prevention of osteoporosis among men is just as urgent. For as men mature in age, their levels of testosterone decrease, resulting to gradual but significant bone thinning.

  8. What’s new at PF Chang’s ATC?

    October 16, 2012 by ajay

    Never mind the traffic on Sucat Road. I always find myself in Alabang for this restaurant.

    PF Chang's

    During the day, it is a warm, airy bistro with high ceiling that invites you to savor homegrown Chinese food favorites with a twist. At night, the lights get a little darker and you can easily drown in the chatter of friends by the long bar.

    Okay, some people have this impression that PF Chang’s is out of their price point. This is no longer the case as the bistro recently launched their Cheers! cocktail hour plus affordable lunch meals. That’s really a bonus for a place with world class ambiance + cuisine.

    From 4 pm onwards Monday to Friday, most of PF Chang’s signature cocktails are priced at P150 per glass. These include their Asian Pear Mojito, Organic Agave Margarita, Jade Martini and Green Tea (their version of Long Island Iced Tea …. not so harmless, I tell you!), among others. I was totally bowled over with a sampling of their Key Lime Pie Martini which tasted like a delicious dessert but got me pleasantly heady in no time. In the background is a warm plate of Sichuan Chicken Flatbread, a specialty quesadilla with grilled chicken and a duo of cheeses. Everything was a thumbs up!

    March 21, 2012 by ajay

    Here’s something interesting from the mailbox: “Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. announced that visa reforms to be implemented soon will boost the competitiveness of the Philippines as a tourism destination.”

    The more relaxed visa policy will be implemented on Chinese nationals travelling to the Philippines as part of a tour group (30-day visa-free stay) and Indian nationals who have a valid American, Japan, Australian, Canadian, Schengen, Singapore, or United Kingdom visa (14-day visa-free stay).

  10. Rizal Awards : call for nominees

    July 18, 2011 by ajay

    Rizal Award

    One of my resolutions: to re-read the writings of Dr. Jose Rizal all over again.Having imbibed his thoughts a long time ago in college, I remember how struck I was by his deep sense of nationalism, leaving no doubt that he deserves to be called the Philippines’ national hero.

    In celebration of 150 years of Dr. Jose Rizal, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines calls for nominations to the Rizal Awards. The Rizal Awards will be conferred on ten Filipinos and three foreigners who would be awarded in the Individual Category and ten institutions, societies, or organizations which embody the Rizal spirit.
