Send Off Tea Party For Momsky and Popsky

Last Thursday (July 26, 2012), I attended an afternoon tea party, a send off party for Melita Barriga or Momsky as we know her.

Procter & Gamble, the Proud Sponsor of Moms, will be flying Momsky together with her husband, Popsky (Edgar Barriga) to London so she could show her love and support to Boxing representative Mark simply by cheering for him.

And since it will be the firs time for Momsky and Popsky, Mike Cabigon of the British Council gave them some insights on what London is all about. Few of the things mentioned were how to get around the city, what to wear and how rainy London can be. Words such as loo for comfort room, lift for elevator, and telly for television were mentioned so as to make it easier for Momsky and Popsky to communicate with the Londoners. They also learned more about typical English food fare like Fish and Chips and even got to experience tea, fancy little cakes and scones.

As the program ends, , P&G presented Momsky and Popsky with their passport with UK Visa, jackets, and a care package to help them during their first trip outside of the country. Finally, the British Council gave them a book of games about London and the Olympics to help while their time while on the plane.

Momsky will also be bringing the hopes of those who yearn for the first gold medal for the Philippines, as well as the faith of those who wish that her son fares well. The most important thing that Momsky is bringing to London, however, is the support that she has always provided for Mark – the love she has always had for her son, the boy that she raised to be an Olympic athlete, through her own rather Olympic feat.

Travel Focus: the Holy Land

Who isn’t fascinated with visiting the Holy Land ? History would tell us that both Christians and Muslims would love to go there. Both look forward to go on a pilgrimage tour there, but with a different focus.

For Christians, the desire to go there is primarily motivated by the desire to walk on the places where Jesus Christ and other Biblical characters or saints have walked on. These would include: Golgotha (or Calvary), the city of Bethlehem, Sea of Galilee, Mount Tabor (the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus), Jacob’s well in Nablus (said to be the site where Jesus had an encounter with a Samaritan woman). These are just but part of a list. As for Muslims, Jerusalem (along with Mecca and Medina ) is considered a holy site in Sunni Islamic tradition. According to Islamic traditions, their prophets are associated with Jerusalem including Muhammad, the Islamic prophet.

One good news about going on a tour to the Holy Land these days is that travellers there can now have the option of staying in Luxury Apartments Tel aviv. This is especially great for families and even couples travelling there together for the first time.

If you wish to check out more information about these Tel Aviv luxury apartments available in the Holy Land , one can also do online. While there are also hotels to choose from, you may just opt for the more familiar feeling of having your own apartment while touring the place. It’s like having a home away from home.

So if you’re up for a trip to the Holy Land , get yourself and your loved ones ready. Prepare the budget; book the flights and the apartment (you may choose to do this with a travel agency). Enjoy experiencing the Holy Land while you are there. And come back refreshed, changed J

Dressing Up and Diamonds

Stylists would say that making a woman’s own fashion statement is not just all about the clothes she wears or the way she carries herself. The kind of accessories she has on, the jewelry she wears also affects her total look.

With women who believe in a classic and elegant look, they would prefer to have diamonds as part of their accessories. As they say, diamonds are a woman’s best friend. Women even prefer (or should we say, demand?) diamond engagement rings. Some men may be puzzled about this. But really, diamonds are also a reflection of how a woman values herself and how she wants to be valued by others. Diamonds after all are precious, valuable. And so on special occasions like weddings, anniversaries and other noteworthy celebrations where women would love to wear their best; one would likely see her choose a diamond to go with her look for the day or for the night.

Now with different kinds of diamonds to choose from, some women might choose to wear Fancy Yellow Diamond to go with their day time, more casual look. She could be wearing it while she goes to work, attends to everyday concerns. This can be a statement of how she feels good about her day, her work, her life. By evening time, if she is attending a formal event, she might pursue a more subtle look. She might choose to wear dark colors; choose something more formal or perhaps she would opt for a cocktail wear. And she might choose to wear Blued Diamonds this time. This time more than ever, women not only have more clothes to choose from but well, diamonds as well.

It must be mentioned here that a colored diamond is a more affordable diamond choice. But even if it is the more affordable one, the elegance of it being a diamond is still there. It could still go very well with the elegant fashion look that any woman would like to have whether at daytime or night time and at any place.
