Merienda With Senatoriable Sonny Angara

Though I met a lot of celebrities and personalities, I do want to meet politicians, and future leaders of the country. As shapers of the future of the nation, I as a citizen would like to meet and ask them questions that has been in my mind, which could affirm my loyalty or change my support. 

In the past years, I have been able to meet some of them but would have so little time to ask them questions, since I was not yet a blogger back then. But now I was able to meet and know them more personally. Recently I met Senatoriable Sonny Angara, who is the son of Senator Edgardo Angara, and also a congressman in  Aurora Province. 

My family was associated with the Angaras back in 1998 elections, when Sen. Edgardo "Edong" Angara ran for Vice President, we did campaigning and postering in Laguna. My mother knows his Senatorial staff and at some point helped us when my father needed medical assistance. And last year, I met Sen. Angara at the Senate together with other bloggers. I notice that they both share the same passion as lawyers and the legistlature and working low-profile.

Support Your Senatoriables with #7Election at 7-Eleven

Elections may happen once every three years which makes it monumental at the same time changes the course of history. With a lot of people vying for positions in the government, it would be best that the people make wise decisions in choosing the right candidate for the job.

With surveys showing standings of candidates, results varies but it would also let you think what the majority would go for. Surveys are OK for me, but it also serves as a challenge for other candidates that their campaign may not be enough to convince people to vote for them. I know that there are a lot of candidates worthy of the position especially in the senate. And most of them were not even unheard throughout the campaign period.

XSTIG: Style meets sound with the new Philips SoundShooter

Colorful, compact speakers work with any Bluetooth device

Sound quality, more than anything, is what makes a speaker worthy of a place in your living room stand. They can also earn a spot in your bag (or even your pocket) if they are ultra-portable. But what if there’s a speaker that offers high audio quality, portability and style? Would it earn a place in your sound-loving hands?

That looks to be what Philips is precisely going for with its new portable speaker, the Philips SoundShooter.
