Maricar Reyes Is Coming To Cagayan de Oro City

Maricar Reyes is coming to Cagayan de Oro City. She is coming with John Lloyd Cruz and other Kapamilya stars for the city's fiesta celebration.

So what's the big deal why am I blogging this event for her? There's no big deal really, it is just that she was involved in a sex video scandal with Dr. Hayden Kho and she became an instant celebrity then. But in fairness to her, she's a great actress too. ABS-CBN would not gamble to give her projects if she's not indeed a good actress.

Her silence in the sex video scandal issue catapulted Maricar Reyes to where she is now. She got more projects and her popularity even soared hiegher.

The question now is, will the Kagay-anons excited for her coming? Will they go there and watch Maricar Reyes? My answer is a big YES. Kagay-anons want to see in person the woman they've searched in the internet which makes Misamis Oriental the no.1 region inthe Philippines searching for "Maricar Reyes" and Cagayan de Oro City the no.2 City searching for the same term.

Furthermore, we are no.1 in "Katrina Halili" keyword, both Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City hold the no.1 spots!

Lastly, Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City are again on top with the "sex scandal" keyword!

That's how Kagay-anons love "sex scandals" and I'm sure many will flock to SM when Maricar and company comes to town. See you there!

Remembering the CDO Flood

The rain is pouring heavily again while I am working here at home near our window. I can't help but to move a little bit farther from the window since the rain is trying to find its way inside.

The rain was this heavy when the first and the worst flood happened here in Cagayan de Oro City. As I look outside, the water level is starting to go up and if this rain will not stop any minute soon, God forbids, the worst may happen again.

But what happened was not only natural calamity that there's nothing we can do like others said. We are all responsible for the cause of the calamity. Aside from the illegal and legal loggers who denuded our forests, look at our drainage.

All drainage in CDO are almost full of our trash. And who are responsible for those garbages in our canals/drainage? You and me! Let's do our little part to maintain proper sanitation in our surroundings and these calamities can be avoided.

Here in our place, the canals are full of trash again that's why the water level in our streets are going up again.

Let's discipline ourselves and try to become a responsible citizen.

Julie's Bakeshop Around Cagayan de Oro City

Almost every 3 o'clock PM I hear this sound, this new hit sound in the road. And every time I hear this song, my stomach seems to crave for something to digest.

Oh, it's the Julies Bakeshop on wheels! Since I'm "tambay" doing some home-based jobs (lampaso, panglaba, panilhig, ug uban pa), I always hear that song and immediately buy those delicious breads and other delicacies of Julie's Bakeshop.

It's good they got this idea and its really a hit. Delivering their goods to your house is somewhat bringing convenience to your customers. Just wait for their jingle to ring in your ears then there you go, Julie's delicacies.

I'm not not advertising Julie's here, they won't pay me and they won't care anyway. I'm thinking of those small-time panaderias here in Cagayan de Oro who originally have this system. You could hear children shouting (instead of a jingle) "PAN INIIITTT!!" during my 3 o'clock habit (snack time).

Those panaderias are really small compared to Julie's. Small, yet they can directly help children earn some money for their everyday living. Some sell bread in the afternoon/pandesal in the morning just to have something to spend at school, just like my "suki" here.

But with the advent of Julie's on Wheels, who are directly competing against small time bakeshops, what will happen to these kids? Sooner or later, there's no pandesal nor pan -init to sell anymore since their panaderia has closed due to stiff competition with Julies.

I remember Jerry's Shopper's World in Valencia, Bukidnon. They were the largest store in Valencia in their time. but when Gaisano entered the scene, Jerry's and other small groceries didn't withstand the competition and they closed shops.

I am seeing the same scenario here. Soon, I won't be hearing the "PAN INIT" anymore and it will be all the Julie's jingle. I hope not.
