Everybody has a secret. A few of my friends know mine and it’s actually not too hard to keep. I do it once a year and I’ve been doing it for the longest time. Gift giving is one of the oldest human activities and the most popular example can be traced back to the three wise men who went to the manger and presented gifts. However, giving shouldn’t be done only during the holidays. The truest form of such is charity and should be done all throughout the year especially when needed.
My most fond memory about gift giving is the first time I went to an orphanage alone with a large box of clothes and vitamins to donate and this was way back March of 2013. The nun who was in charge even gave me a tour of the facility and let me interact with the kids. It was an enriching and learning experience, the precious smiles and endless gratitude those kids showed made me realize it’s truly better to give than to receive.
That same year we almost lost everything to a house fire and receiving help from our friends and family taught me the value of helping others in need. Ever since, I give whenever I can because I know exactly how it feels to have absolutely nothing.
I moved to another city last year and this year I’ve decided to search for a charitable institution near me. I stumbled upon Hands of God charity works when I was browsing in Facebook. It is a group of private volunteers who share their time, talent and effort to serve others who is lead by a selfless, dedicated individual who happens to be a former classmate of a buddy of mine. I support their vision of caring and supporting through the help of rehabilitation medical missions, gift-giving, education and much more.
After months of filling my donation box with canned goods, a nebulizer machine, and hygiene kits, I felt the need to add more to it but going out to buy them can be bothersome for a person like me who is always busy. I just don’t have the time and patience with the long queue lines or even brave the worsening traffic situation in Manila.
Recently, I utilized the convenience of e-commerce stores in purchasing items to donate to the said charitable institution. For people on the go, shopping online is the wisest choice and the most convenient method is through smartphone apps.
The newest online store in town is from the mall that has it all, yes you’ve got it right, it’s SM! Shopsm.com is now an online and offline store. Who would have thought Shoemart which started out with selling shoes from its humble store in Carriedo has flourished into the most popular line of malls and is now joining the online bandwagon.
Shopping is easy-peasy. Signup using your Facebook or Google account or any email address.
At the top portion, the items are grouped into women, men, kids, home, beauty, sale, and new. At the left panel are the choices: brand, categories, and price.
From the item page, just add your choice of product to your shopping cart and click on checkout. Follow the simple, 3-step checkout process and you are good to go! Shipping fee costs P99 but as mentioned earlier, your orders can be sent for pickup at your preferred SM branch.
Visiting ShopSM is like walking through their department store since you can pick out what you need online and collect it at The SM Store. Payment options are debit card, credit card, and cash on delivery which lets you pay cash for whatever you’ve ordered only once it’s delivered.
Here’s another reason to purchase an SM advantage card (SMAC). Your card can now earn points and take advantage of deals when shopping through the site. No need to worry about counterfeit items, get the authentic products you already love from the mall.
After successfully placing an order using the ShopSM app, I have received two emails: a confirmation of my order plus the time frame of the delivery and the other one provides an invoice of my order.
I received a text from 2Go the morning my package was about to be delivered at home, five days after I placed the order and received it in a big neat box sealed with the ShopSM adhesive tape.
I shopped for these additional items to cater to the needs of the charity’s recipients:
SM Stationery Grade 4 All-in-One School Bag Pack – Red and Navy Blue
Who knew that I would find this gem at the Shop SM kids category. I bought this because Hands of God charity works also has project school support. It helps those indigent beneficiaries with their monthly school needs. Originally this set costs P299 but since it’s 33% off, I only got it for P199.75!
What this set includes are
1 x backpack
Made of canvas
Nylon lining
Single compartment interior
Front zip pocket
Top zip closure
Haul loop
Padded and adjustable shoulder straps
Measurements: L28 x W5 x H 34cm
1 x 10-piece short bond paper set
1 x long folder
2 x 80-leaves grade pad
5 x 80-leaves composition notebook
2 x ball pen
1 x ruler
1 x pair of scissors
1 x glue stick 9g
SM Basics Boys 3-piece Little League Tank Set,Baby Dove Rich Moisture Hair to Toe Wash 200ml and Huggies Dry Pants Large 30 Pcs Plus 4 Free.
Most of what my chosen charity’s beneficiaries are children who are hospitalized so I bought them necessities like diapers, body wash and clothes.
Daily Defense Keratin Shampoo 473 ml
I wanted to give a product that will not irritate and dry out the scalp so I included this Daily Defense Keratin Shampoo when I browsed under ShopSM Beauty. This is a moisturizing shampoo that has low sulfate content which helps protect the hair from breakage plus it adds shine.
To keep things in perspective, it’s not all roses and unicorns. They still have room for improvement such as the limited brands they have in store, lack of COD free shipping promos, and faster delivery time. In its initial stage, it’s perfectly understandable to have some tiny slip ups but I’m quite positive it will all work out in the end.
SM has been around for quite a while, thanks to its effective management and I’m pretty sure they’ll get better with their new endeavor as they listen to their customers’ opinions.
Eventually, I’ll get the chance to spend some time with them. The sick and the abandoned might need material things but knowing somebody’s there to hear their stories can be equally appealing to them. Helping others does not only benefit the needy but is also the perfect opportunity to do something great with our lives.
As the great Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

American pop sensation AJ Mitchell is set to serenade and meet his Filipino fans for an upcoming series of mall tours.
The eighteen-year-old pop singer-songwriter will be performing in select Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, from January 17 to 18, 2020 with the following schedule:
01/17/20: Uptown Bonifacio (Friday, 7pm)
01/18/20: Venice Grand Canal Mall (Saturday, 3pm)
01/18/20: Eastwood City (Saturday, 7pm)
“This will be my first time in the Philippines,” the teen heartthrob reveals in an interview. “I’m so excited to experience the culture and see as much as I can while there. I can’t wait to eat the amazing food and hopefully see some of the beaches as well.”
With Nathan Huang of Nathan & Mercury and featuring Any Name’s Okay as opening act, the American recording artist will perform some fan favorites, including the mid-tempo jam “All My Friends” and the global smash “Slow Dance.”
Getting to know AJ Mitchell
With a slick and show-stopping voice, charismatic personality, and sharp songwriting chops, it’s no surprise that the fast-rising star has already charted three hits on the US top 40 radio chart in a span of less than two years: “Girls,” “All My Friends,” which peaked inside the top 25, and the Ava Max duet “Slow Dance,” now ranked #29 and still climbing.
In terms of streaming, AJ Mitchell has racked up more than 100 million streams and 4.15 million monthly listeners on Spotify, cementing himself as 2019’s most promising male artist.
Outside the US, the Philippines is considered to be one of the biggest music markets of AJ Mitchell, whose latest single “Slow Dance,” a collaboration with hit-maker Ava Max, is currently making waves in local streaming playlists and top 40 radio stations. “I was pleasantly surprised when I first learned this and I’m so excited to finally get to meet some of my Filipino fans,” the young musician/performer opens up about the warm reception on his previous and recent releases.
As for Ava Max, the pop phenom who has shown significant international attention with “Sweet and Psycho,” which topped the charts in 26 countries and landed a top 10 peak at the Billboard Hot 100 last year, the All My Friends singer has always been vocal about admiring her work ethic and talent. “Working with Ava Max was such an incredible experience. After sending her the track, she sent back her verse within hours. Even on the very first take she sounded so amazing that we immediately knew she was the one for the
song.”
New album in the works
This year, AJ Mitchell will be releasing his debut full-length album under Sony Music. “This has been a wild ride so far and every day I think of how blessed I have been,” the budding pop personality reflects. “Over the next few years, I have so much more I hope to accomplish. Right now I can’t wait to finally release my first album called Skyview. Beyond that, I hope to have a #1 song, win a Grammy, go out on an international tour, and so much more.”
AJ Mitchell’s latest single “Slow Dance” is now available on all music streaming and download platforms worldwide.
You can watch the official music video of “Slow Dance”

House Transportation Committee Chair and Samar 1st District Representative Edgar Mary Sarmiento unveiled Friday the blueprint of his proposed centralized and synchronized bus dispatch system which would turn the EDSA’s rowdy and chaotic city buses into a fast, efficient and predictable mass transport system.
Sarmiento, a civil engineer, disclosed the full details of his proposal after announcing that his panel is closely working with the Department of Transportation (DoTr) to craft a roadmap which would solve EDSA’s traffic problem.
In his proposal, Sarmiento said that the innermost lane of EDSA will serve as an “express bus lane” which can be accessed through stations used by the MRT. Like a carousel, the “express bus lane” will just circle around EDSA, duplicating the route of the MRT.
“People who use the MRT can now have the option to ride the bus which will be also operated like carousel. The buses will only load and unload passengers in a synchronized manner at the MRT stations so they are basically an extension of the MRT. Walang magiging traffic dyan because the entire inner lane from Taft Avenue to North Avenue and vice-versa will be enclosed and exclusive to the express bus lane ,” Sarmiento said.
Sarmiento said that the three lanes in the middle of EDSA will be dedicated for all types of private vehicles subject to the existing vehicle reduction programs like the number coding scheme. Private cars will be only allowed to use the outer lane when turning into an intersection.
The outer lane of EDSA or the yellow lane will be used as a dedicated city bus lane which will also adopt a centralized and synchronized dispatch system. Dedicated bus stops will be established one kilometer apart. Loading and unloading of passengers will be strictly implemented on these bus stops.
Sarmiento said that while the express bus lane will cater to passengers who also use the MRT, the city bus lane operation will extend up to the Parañaque Integrated Bus Terminal (PITX) in the south and the Valenzuela Integrated Bus Terminal (VIBT) in the north and vice-versa.
” City buses will now be using the outermost lane in EDSA or the yellow lane. They will be traversing EDSA in a carousel-type system until they reach the proposed north terminal which is the Valenzuela Integrated Bus Terminal. From there, the city buses will now traverse to the south still using the outermost lane until it reaches the proposed south terminal which is the Paranaque Integrated Bus Terminal,” Sarmiento said.
“We propose this to eradicate the kanya-kanya system of the buses wherein they compete with each other creating chaos through overtaking, overspeeding, and overstaying. Puno man o hindi, lalarga po ang mga city buses dahil may schedule na po ang biyahe nila at hindi na sila makikipag-agawan ng pasahero dahil hindi na commission-based ang kita kundi sahod na ang matatanggap ng mga drivers at konduktors,” Sarmiento added.
Sarmiento said that also part of the proposal is to modernize the fare system using tap or beep card.
“Once everything has been set in theory and generated through computer by the MMDA, it will be presented to the public through a dry run, which will be implemented on a day with the least number of vehicles in the road. We are going to have a computer-generated simulation of this proposal to be led by the MMDA,” Sarmiento said to dispel fears that this could end up just like the other failed “experiments” of the MMDA.
Sarmiento clarified however that his proposal can still be subject to improvements and adjustments by the DoTr and the MMDA which is will the frontline implementing agencies.
“Lastly, this proposal is a work in progress. Details will be discussed by the Executives. Ang inyong lingkod, bilang Chairman ng House Committee on Transportation ay willing na magbigay ng suporta sa DOTr kung may mga kailangang polisiya upang maipatupad natin kaagad ang mga planong ito,” Sarmiento said.
Sarmiento said that if and when the plan is set into motion, the private vehicles that continue to clog EDSA middle lanes would be reduced eventually “because people would now start riding the bus rather than drive their car in what is described as one of the world’s biggest parking lot.”
“With this system, if the trains and buses will be fully operational, and the commuting public is now effectively and efficiently being moved, that’s the time that we can reduce the volume of private vehicles in EDSA and the major thoroughfares in Metro Manila,” Sarmiento said.
” Once the volume of vehicles were reduced, that’s the time that we can introduce major infrastructures in EDSA and other major thoroughfares,” he added. END

The “todo” or all-out nature of Jolly Hotdog is exemplified in all its online commercials this year, where there’s always someone who can turn an ordinary activity into an extraordinary one, going over-the-top compared to everyone else. Here’s a look back at these wacky videos that have made fans like, laugh, and share on social media:
The Todo Drama Jolly Hotdog commercial, the first one of 2019 starring popular local actor Joshua Garcia, explores the namesake concept of going all out in dramatic acting. Garcia emotes heavily in front of his friends, who seem to have eaten their Jolly Hotdog sandwiches without him.
The Todo Clingy ad, the second Joshua Garcia commercial, reverses the roles—this time, it’s his friends who are extra dramatic and clingy with him. In the end, they all go for something that matches their “todoness”—the Jolly Hotdog!
The short Todo Wall Climbing video shows a climber struggling to move up, only to see someone else traversing the wall vertically and horizontally with minimal effort.
These ads should make you hungry for a snack right now—and there’s no better thing to have than that Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog from your nearest Jollibee! Indulge and get the Jolly Hotdog for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru in all Jollibee stores nationwide for only PHP 50.00!
