Instagram Sold By Facebook For $1 Billion
Here's what Mark Zuckerberg said on his blog post:
"I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.
For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.
We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.
That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.
We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keepingfeatures like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.

No-Rice-Policy Ends
It's been a week since I start my own No-Rice Policy which serves as my own penitence this Holy Week. Tonight, Easter Sunday, is the end of this penance and finally, Tomorrow... I can go back to my 'normal' eating habit. #yehey!
So what I've learned from this No-Rice-Policy-Thing ? I will say Discipline. Disiplina sa Pagkain. 'Nung Wednesday, parang nag-flasback yung sinabi sa akin ng P.E. Instructor ko, sabi niya: "Kapag tamad ka nang mag-exercise...Dapat atleast you watch what you eat. And have some discipline on eating. Hindi pwedeng busog ka na nga, pero dahil nakita mo yung paboritong mong pagkain...pipilitin mo pa ring kumain. Dapat alam mo when to say ENOUGH and when to say NO to temptations".

The jingle is musically arranged by Angelo Villegas and sang by Filipino Artist Jay Padua. As of this writing, the video is viewed 15,573 times. (konti pa lang)
I personally find the jingle lively and the lyrics are captivating. Gusto ko yung part na:

No Rice For Me This Holy Week ?
NO RICE FOR ME FOR THE ENTIRE HOLY WEEK. Yap! You read it correctly dude. I will not allow myself to consume any rice of any kind starting today (Palm Sunday) 'til Saturday. I'm not doing this to lose some weight or to prepare myself for some beach body contest. On the other hand, I'am doing this because I want it to serve as my own little sacrifice this holy week.
I came to this decision last month... 'Nung matupad yung hiling ko kay God na manalo naman sana ako sa Cake Decorating Competition kasi nakakahiya na kung matatalo na naman ako kasi pangatlong beses ko nang sumali dun. Nung hinihiling ko yun sabi ko sa sarili ko na kapag nanalo ako hindi ako magra-rice sa Holy Week.
I know to some people, the no-rice-thing may look shallow and funny at the same time. Pero para sa akin, serious yun at mahirap i-accomplish dahil for me.. a meal is nothing without rice. and I'm sure most of you can relate to that unless you are filthy rich who don't eat rice on a regular basis.

My Verdict On MAGNUM Ice Cream
Most of my classmates are head-over-heels
with the ice cream called Magnum. They even took photos of their selves licking
eating that thing (and eventually, upload it to facebook *palage naman eh*). At first, I don’t
know why. Hindi ko nga alam na may ganong ice cream eh. (Ganun
na ako ka-dukha dahil hindi ko alam ang mga kaganapan sa Social Landia)
So, to know why (para ma-update
ako), bumili ako! HAHA! That time ko lang nalaman na may 3 flavors yang Magnum na
yan. The Almonds, Chocolate Truffles at Classics. At takte! ANG MAHAL AH! 50
Pesos sa Grocery at 55 Pesos sa 7-11 Stores. #Overpriced
Among the three, my favorite is Magnum
Almonds which is covered with almonds and milk chocolate and on the inside is a
creamy vanilla ice cream. (kaka-umay nga lang dahil sa sobrang katamisan pero masarap naman)
My 2nd favorite is the
Magnum Classics which contain Vanilla Ice Cream on the inside and covered of Belgian
Chocolate. #pang-matanda. :D

A Sweet Smell Of Success
I'm Baaack!! I become too busy this past few weeks. Need to
go here and there, attend to this and that, and submit these and those. Ubusan
lang talaga ng Energy! Pero Ok lang. Naniniwala naman ako that all my hardworks
(with‘s’ po talaga) today will be paid off soon enough. HAHA! AKO NA ANG PUNO NG POSITIVE VIBES SA
KATAWAN!! :D
And speaking of hardwork at ka-busyhan, I joined again on the annualy-held Inter-HRM Competition. 3rd time ko na sumali dito sa kategoryang 'Cake Decorating'. My 1ST was a disappointment. My 2ND was 'Ok. Fine!' and My 3RD is Yehey! :) .Finally! pagkatapos ng dalawang sunod-sunod na pagkatalo...nanalo rin ako! I bagged 2nd Place/1st Runner-Up for Cake Decorating. :))
Eto yung Design ng Cake namen!
