For Dr. Rocanisah Guro also known as Doc Roca, she uses social media to share her advocacy on aesthetic medicine.<span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">At an early age, Doc Roca wanted to be a doctor. After finishing her medical degree as a General Physician, she practiced her profession in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While working as a doctor, it was painful for her to see people coming to her sick or dying and earn from it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Looking back, Doc Roca realized how challenging that situation was for her, feeling disheartened. That was the turning point of her career. She realized she needed a change in her career path. She left abroad, went back to the Philippines, studied, and trained in aesthetic medicine.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Under the meticulous tutelage of Dr. Sarah Barba Cabodil of Philippine Anti-Aging Medicine and Clinical Aesthetics (PAMCAS), Dr. Roca honed her skills in aesthetic medicine.

She also discovers that being part of the physical transformation of her patients makes her heart full.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The existence of digital media helps Doc Roca fulfill her mission. Doc Roca and her method of educating people, especially on social media, is approachable, funny, and witty. "I embrace the digital age as a social media influencer, leveraging these platforms to share insights, inspire confidence, and celebrate the harmonious blend of science and art in aesthetic practice", says Doc Roca.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She finds sharing her knowledge on social media as an act of charity. That is why she keeps posting relatable content regarding aesthetic medicine in a witty manner so people can connect to her. She captures the hearts of the people online.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNKsHTn0eN5tywegpCZkxmX0LQD_SOGHzqG1jeuJgT2GdcIhhBh22Gek-NKLECDrIaCwwW4cHbJ-K6Rj8k_Aq9JjsB1LzparExd1Qec6PFjLboU2B0CQiBnkRp9Jx-2uJyD974KH5I4LHmpp-Cg-EP_e9AqpMV5Zf5tWcbN1VlAxEIYSuxzwNi_1q8a8/s1080/420193737_10225532818842652_6744378833852131954_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="RC Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNKsHTn0eN5tywegpCZkxmX0LQD_SOGHzqG1jeuJgT2GdcIhhBh22Gek-NKLECDrIaCwwW4cHbJ-K6Rj8k_Aq9JjsB1LzparExd1Qec6PFjLboU2B0CQiBnkRp9Jx-2uJyD974KH5I4LHmpp-Cg-EP_e9AqpMV5Zf5tWcbN1VlAxEIYSuxzwNi_1q8a8/w640-h640/420193737_10225532818842652_6744378833852131954_n.jpg" title="RC Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">RC Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic believes beauty builds confidence and it should start from within.

I have placed the tracker on my husband's bag and it still works quite well. I know exactly where he is at the exact moment. Well, there was a 2-5 second delay, but it's still good for me as a personal tracking device. </p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Where Did that Map Come From?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">You may be wondering where I got the map. Once you purchase PAJ's GPS Find and Protect, you need to go to their website at v2.finder-portal.com or via the mobile app, <b>PAJ Portal v2, </b>and register your tracker. It's a pretty simple process that you need to do just once so you don't have to worry. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have registered your tracker, the website automatically opens the map where your device is located. Don't be alarmed if your device is located in another country because that was its default location. All you have to do is simply turn on the tracker, move the tracker, or place it on a moving vehicle, and when the moving tracker is detected then the map automatically adjusts to where the location of the tracker is. In other words, the map will automatically update once you've used your GPS. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Geofencing</h2><div>Geofencing allows users to set virtual boundaries, receiving alerts when the tracker enters or exits a specified area. PAJ's GPS has this feature and you simply have to set up your boundaries where you want your GPS to notify you when it has reached or exited it. </div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Other Features: </h2><div>Aside from the basic features, PAJ GPS can also do the following : </div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Instant notifications</li><li>Route history - Can track previous routes that were taken and you can also download a report in PDF/Excel/GPX/KML file. </li><li>Long battery life</li><li>Compatible with everything including mobile app integration</li><li>Global coverage</li><li>Share location - Easy-share the location with your friends or police department in case of emergency</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;">GPS trackers, like what we see in the movies, are very beneficial especially if you have vehicles for your business. In case, one of them gets stolen then you can track it in real-time. GPS trackers contribute significantly to personal security by providing a sense of control and peace of mind. Parents can track their children, caregivers can monitor elderly family members, and individuals can ensure their safety during outdoor activities.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In our ever-evolving technology, GPS trackers have become go-to tools for keeping tabs on assets, vehicles, and personal well-being. Whether it's ensuring personal safety, streamlining business operations, or just easing our minds, GPS trackers play a crucial role in our interconnected lives.

Unfortunately, when I checked the overnight room rates of the hotel, they were quite expensive and way above my budget so I started to check other nearby hotels in the area.</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So apparently, there are plenty of nice hotels around, but the one that won my heart was GoHotels Ortigas because of their overnight promo rate of Php1,533.87 net price! It's super cheap compared to nearby hotels that charge Php 3,500++ I reserved a room right away and I was able to reserve the room through the Robinsons Hotels app during the 10.10 sale. I wasn't required to pay in advance to reserve a room, which was a big plus for a thrifty mom like me. I just simply booked the room and paid when I checked in. </p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Check-In</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Their check-in was simply the fastest check-in time I ever experienced. Once I approached the reception, I said check-in and they simply asked for my ID. Upon checking my name, my reservation status immediately came up in their system. I didn't even have to show them my reservation ID. So after a few minutes, our room was ready and I was happy. </p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Room and Amenities</h2><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMTriPcXMecjTF57mhSjZrb6X5sW20sRe1yB3L6wX8eBLAX7AXy-pVmOlIzJlZCpIAeZCp343nKGn72wJkygE5bgIXX1KhDI1aT91r4LBvMqP2OT_gLstVzVdKBH5hqxqw6FPKvLgfR3YCo6ux-CjKuf1xcAG8Tp-NeZtAedK3Mz3PTH4FmUsHgJyryM/s2048/Gohotels%20Ortigas%20bed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="GoHotels Ortigas: Big Bed" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMTriPcXMecjTF57mhSjZrb6X5sW20sRe1yB3L6wX8eBLAX7AXy-pVmOlIzJlZCpIAeZCp343nKGn72wJkygE5bgIXX1KhDI1aT91r4LBvMqP2OT_gLstVzVdKBH5hqxqw6FPKvLgfR3YCo6ux-CjKuf1xcAG8Tp-NeZtAedK3Mz3PTH4FmUsHgJyryM/w640-h480/Gohotels%20Ortigas%20bed.jpg" title="GoHotels Ortigas: Big Bed" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The room looked exactly like what was advertised. <br />This was exactly what we saw once we opened the door. </td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;">The room was small but clean.

We had our breakfast in Chowking. </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Can bring your own food and drinks inside since they have no room service. </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Walking distance to Marco Polo Hotel, Meralco Theatre, and Robinsons Galleria! </li></ul><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Minus Points (but I'm not complaining since I know there will be shortcomings due to the price):</h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;">No kettle</li><li style="text-align: justify;">No slippers</li><li style="text-align: justify;">No robes</li><li style="text-align: justify;">No refrigerator</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Not much space if you have big luggage</li><li style="text-align: justify;">No free bottled water inside. We had to go to their water station near the elevator to fill the pitcher that was provided. </li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, my husband and I had a nice overnight stay. I just walked going to Marco Polo and walked back after the party was done. I would definitely stay here again if I had things to do in Ortigas. I definitely recommend this hotel for short stays or for people looking for cheap but clean rooms. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Post not sponsored.

No matter how bright and beautiful the twinkling lights in the malls are or how festive the decorations are, I just don't feel all Christmas-sy. Is it the lingering effects of the pandemic, the pinch (or should I say punch) of inflation, or is it simply the passage of time at the age of 42? Join me as we explore these thoughts and reflect on the unique perspective that comes with navigating the holiday season in the midst of change.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">The Lingering Effects of the Pandemic:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It's hard to deny that the past couple of years have been challenging for everyone. The pandemic has left an indelible mark on our lives, influencing the way we work, socialize, and perceive the world around us. As we approach the holiday season, it's natural to wonder if the residual effects of these challenging times are casting a shadow over what should be a joyful time of year.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Inflation's Impact:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Another factor that can't be ignored is the current state of the economy, marked by inflation. Prices are rising, and the cost of living is increasing. The holiday season, traditionally associated with gift-giving and celebrations, may feel more financially burdensome for many. The pressure to meet expectations and maintain traditions might be tinged with the strain of tighter budgets.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">A Shift in Perspective with Age:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Turning 42 brings with it a certain wisdom and a shift in perspective. What once seemed dazzling and magical may now be viewed through a lens of experience and maturity. The excitement of holiday decorations that once captivated may now be met with a more subdued appreciation. It's not that the wonder is lost, but rather that it takes on a different hue, colored by the richness of life experiences.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">The Strain of Financial Realities:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Ah, yes. I think this is one of the major factors why I feel this way – the lack of money. Finances can play a significant role in shaping our holiday experiences. I mean how can you buy a really, really nice gift to someone if you can't pay for it, right? The pressure to meet societal expectations of gift-giving and extravagant displays can be stressful, particularly if the budget is tight. This year, more than ever, the lack of financial resources may be contributing to a sense of restraint and reflection on the true meaning of the season. </p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Finding Joy in Simple Moments:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the challenges and changes that this holiday season brings, there's an opportunity to rediscover the joy in simplicity. Perhaps it's time to redefine what the holidays mean to us and focus on the moments that truly matter – the warmth of shared laughter, the comfort of loved ones, and the appreciation for the present.<b> Embracing a more minimalist approach to the holidays</b> can alleviate the financial strain and allow for a deeper connection with the true spirit of the season.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Let's Keep It Simple but Memorable</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">As we navigate the holiday season, it's essential to acknowledge the various factors that contribute to the sense that things are different this year. Whether it's the lingering effects of the pandemic, the impact of inflation, or the evolving perspective that comes with age, finding joy in the midst of change is key. Embracing a simpler, more meaningful holiday experience can help us appreciate the moments that truly make this season special, regardless of external challenges. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, as we celebrate this year, let's focus on the warmth of connection and the richness of experience (e.g. have walks in parks, build something out of old materials from the house, learn to knit, etc.), allowing the true spirit of the holidays to shine through. Well, I'll try and hope for the best. </p>Mona Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867427287979310014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076204703650208430.post-19810486016935197152023-11-22T14:51:00.000+08:002023-11-22T14:51:42.876+08:00Season 3 of Your Song of Excellence Crowns Latest Grand Champions on Finals Night<h1 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jam-packed Finals Night of Your Song of Excellence Season 3 Welcomes Newest Grand Champions</span></h1><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-113075f6-7fff-98aa-a134-c07ec9c21085"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Your Song of Excellence 2023 – Taiwan Excellence’s search for the Philippines’ best singers and songwriters co-presented by Aromase, Derma ngel, and Johnson Fitness & Wellness – culminated its third year run this Saturday, November 18, 2023, at the Ayala Malls Market!

are Game Top-Ups and In-App Purchases?<o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Have
you ever seen your child playing on sites like Lapakgaming and wondered about
those prompts encouraging them to buy 'gems', 'coins', or 'skins'? That's the
realm of game top-ups and in-app purchases.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Yung
game top-ups are basically a purchase of virtual currency or items para ma
boost yung kanilang gaming experience. Para syang arcade tokens, but digital.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">On
the other hand, in-app purchases allow players to buy additional content or
features within a game or app. This could be anything from a snazzy outfit for
their game character to a new level or map.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">The
world of online gaming has intricately woven these purchases into the
experience, na kung saan hindi talaga maalis modern gaming<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><a name="_heading=h.1fob9te"></a><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">How
Do These Purchases Work?<o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Let's
break it down with a relatable scenario. Say your child is deeply engrossed in
a game, and they're eyeing that shiny new upgrade. Pumupunta sila sa platforms
like Lapakgaming to top up their game's virtual currency or credits. How does
the magic happen?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Firstly,
pipili sila ng amount or package na
gusto nila. Then, the payment step kicks in - they might use a credit card, a
game-specific gift card, mobile billing, or other methods. </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://www.lapakgaming.com/en-ph/metal-slug-awakening"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Lapakgaming</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;"> might save the payment
details (with your permission), making future top-ups quicker and more
seamless.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">It's
all very convenient, but be watchful—it's easy for those top-ups to become
frequent, just like how we sometimes can't resist those buy-one-get-one deals
at our favorite stores! So kelangan pa din ng guidance ng magulang. Lalo na pag
sarili nating cards ang ginagamit nila.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Appeal to Young Gamers<o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Ever
wondered what draws kids into these digital realms with such enthusiasm? Let’s
take a game like Metal Slug Awakening as an example. Hindi lang sya about
graphics or gameplay; there's psychology at play too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Games
entice players with the promise of instant gratification. Think about it:
snagging a rare item or unlocking a new character can give players a
competitive edge. There's also the allure of limited-time offers or exclusive
items that create a buzz.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Syempre
hindi mawawala yung mga kanilang kaibigan, classmates, or online communities na
nagri- rave about the latest upgrades or achievements in games like Metal Slug
Awakening, the desire to join in and not feel left out is real.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">It’s
a mix of reward, competition, and the age-old desire to fit in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><a name="_heading=h.2et92p0"></a><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">Conclusion<o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Tahoma",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;">In
this ever-evolving digital gaming landscape, it's essential sa ating mga
parents to stay in the loop. With a grasp on the ins and outs of in-app
purchases and game top-ups, we can foster a balanced, safe, and fun experience
for our kids.

Countries have closed their runways to foreign and domestic flights in an effort to stop the spread of the disease. But after 2 years, airlines are slowly recovering and building themselves up from their ground employees to their flight team because of the increase of passengers going home or going on their much-deserved vacation. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Vacation Turned Nightmare</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">While I was canvassing Facebook for some travel ideas, I saw a community group for moms and a certain mom posted her story when they traveled to Boracay, Philippines with her family including her 3-year-old son. It was supposed to be a fun, vacation day for everyone that eventually turned into a nightmare for every mom. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">From the airport, the family traveled via van then by a boat, and then another van before arriving at their hotel. When they got to their designated hotel room, they noticed a lot of mosquitoes flying around. They simply opened the windows to let them out. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The next day, the mom noticed a mosquito bite on her son's arm. She got a bit worried but shrugged it off thinking it was a simple bite. They went to the beach and went along with their day to enjoy their vacation. But during the afternoon, her son started to have a fever. The worried mom rushed her son to the nearest hospital to have him checked. The son tested positive for Dengue fever. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The mom was furious and blamed the hotel for the incident because of the mosquitoes flying around when they arrived, but the hotel management denied responsibility and said they never had a complaint before. They also mentioned that the son probably got bitten even before they arrived in Boracay. It was a hopeless case because the mom failed to provide more evidence to prove that the hotel was partly to blame. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, the money that was supposed to be spent for their vacation was spent on the hospital bills and their hotel accommodation turned into a 5-day hospital accommodation, something that no family would want to experience during their vacation time. The son did not have any medical insurance so they paid in cash. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Get Insured If You Plan to Travel</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">That is why having insurance with travel and medical coverage is an absolute must because you'll never know when you'll desperately need one as you travel especially since the pandemic is not really over. It's really scary when you get sick in a place you're unfamiliar with especially if you're on a strict budget. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">When you travel, here are the risks you will commonly face: </p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;"> COVID-19 infection or other illnesses like Dengue, Chickenpox, and more. </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Lost luggage. </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Car accidents.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Robberies</li></ol><p></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Is there a Travel and Medical Insurance in One That Covers Covid-19? </h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircaATYCaTQvdLFSE_rO66HXsp9XyuVH05-3-ivE_rMhLZW1RVXEGQ6BnTOdL2A3Hr4t2kmzR_f_uFixTtVDXwWYHnNePboXalgJlfNDgEuvCANnYWyYGGxlsm2TpBYL5VxsYQt325RBHLv9r11ck33nms6oTm__muLg8GdsC_oayPjOq1U66eGG0Y-BM/s1821/SafetyWing-NI-Landscape-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1821" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircaATYCaTQvdLFSE_rO66HXsp9XyuVH05-3-ivE_rMhLZW1RVXEGQ6BnTOdL2A3Hr4t2kmzR_f_uFixTtVDXwWYHnNePboXalgJlfNDgEuvCANnYWyYGGxlsm2TpBYL5VxsYQt325RBHLv9r11ck33nms6oTm__muLg8GdsC_oayPjOq1U66eGG0Y-BM/w640-h396/SafetyWing-NI-Landscape-1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="text-align: justify;">Yes, there is!
