Ah, all the hard work paid off. I love living in our new home. For those who want a peek into our home, here is our dining and living room. It actually does not look like this on a daily basis, but this was last Saturday, when we had family over for our House Warming.

Last Saturday, a special event for all comic aficionados, called “Summer KomiKon 2012” was held at Bayanihan Center Unilab Compound, Pasig City. The entrance ticket cost one hundred pesos (PhP 100), which includes a free event poster, newsletter, and post card. During the event, the latest comic book releases, not only from the well-established publishers but also from the small independent comic book creators, were launched. Famous comic book creators were present and were willing to sign autographs and allowed spectators to have souvenir pictures taken with them. Finally, discount and bargain comic books were also available for sale.

What's up, what's up? Have you already greeted one of the loves of our lives a happy mothers day? HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO OUR MOM AND TO MOMS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

I still remember clearly the Cirque du Soleil Varekai show that we watched June of last year. Watching it was an amazing experience. Everyone should have the chance to watch a circus show at least once in their lives. Fret not since another amazing circus show is bound for Manila. Cirque Mother (CircusMama) Africa will be in town on April 19 to 22. This show is presented by Establish Events in cooperation with Media Central. This show will be at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre, Resorts World Manila, Newport Boulevard, Newport City Cybertourism Zone, Pasay City.

Holy Friday is the perfect day to think back on the things that you have done last year, both good and bad. For the wrong things, we repent and promise make things better this year. For the good things that we have done, we remember it, we repeat it this year and we become an inspiration to others.

At this holy time of the year, let us share this message from Msgr. Clemente Ignacio, the Parish Priest of Quiapo. 1. In my experience as a pastor, how do I look at the genuineness in the faith expressions of the devotees of the Black Nazarene? 2. What about the criticism that the devotion to the Nazareno is prone to abuse because it seems to border on idolatry? 3. What have been the abuses/excesses in the devotion? If there are, how do I, as a pastor, correct them? How could the theologians and future ministers be able to help? 4. What can I say about the judgment that the devotion to the Black Nazarene is a wrong devotion because the Nazareno is a symbol of despair and suffering and that we should use symbols that promotes hope for the Filipino?

Yey! It's the last day of work. I was watching the news yesterday evening and this morning, and the main updates were mostly about the bus stations and traffic routes. We, at Manila Reviews, want to wish you a safe and fun trip ahead! Speaking of trips, we would like to share this cool video with you. This video is by Green Mango Ph. The song was made from sounds from a jeepney ride.
