Women Can Play Football Too in P.I.A.: Pinay In Action

Who says football is only a man's sport? One time, I got to interview a young girl who is part of the team dominated by boys. Seeing her in action shows that she can play along pretty good with fellow male team mates.

In P.I.A.(Pinay In Action), it also shows that there are already a lot of girls playing football especially in schools who have football fields that also offers the sport as an option for Physical Education classes.

This only means that football is no longer an exclusive sports like basketball and baseball. Here are the results of the all-women 3-on-3 football festival organized by Sen. Pia Cayetano. 24 teams participated during the two-day event at Bonifacio High Street last February 13 to 14.

Red Turnip's Season Ender Constellations

Have you ever wondered if you think different decisions on what you said or done? Will it make your life better or make it worse? This is what Red Turnips is going to stage in their latest production of Constellations by Nick Payne.

The story centered with only two characters. A boy and a girl. They met and fell in love. After that, there are multiple scenarios that you won't expect. It may appear the conversation is repeated but it will be different.

It reminded me of Choose Your Own Adventure books series that I enjoyed during my high school days. The sudden shift of scenarios may be confusing if you try connect it. To understand what is happening, you only need to be a spectator and relax while watching.

Although it has the element of metaphysics whether you believe in the multiverse or not, this is not a sci-fi story. It is not a story about relationships, but also choices and destiny. For example, it made me think that if I was still involve in my previous relationship, will I be happy like I am now?

If you don't have any idea what I am talking about when I mention multiverses, I suggest you watch Sliders, Fringe or the latest season of CW's Flash. For more features about stage productions, follow this blog and like L.E.N.S. blogs on Facebook.

Cris Villonco and JC Santos are the two performers and it is directed by Rem Zamora.

Another roller coaster ride of a year has passed and it’s time to welcome the Red Fire Monkey as it heralds 2016 with full energy and enthusiasm.

Clean up and de-clutter

The New Year is a time for new beginnings, and everyone likes to start off fresh. It’s important to clean your home from top to bottom prior to the Lunar New Year. Cleaning the house symbolizes sweeping out any misfortune from the previous year that has accumulated in your home.

With the help of handy cleaning helpers such as the Electrolux ErgoClean bagless vacuum cleaner, you’re sure to get your home clean in no time. Its 4G Cyclonic Technology offers powerful suction to ensure your home is dirt and dust-free.

Refresh your look

You don’t always need to break the bank to create a new look. A few simple rearrangements at home can completely change the vibe of your space.

One way to refresh your décor is changing up your curtains and linens. Take out those special linens hidden in the closet. Make sure to wash them first to get rid of the musty closet smell or molds. The Electrolux UltraMix™ Washing Machine has a Refresh Cycle which is the perfect program to quickly revive and freshen fabrics. 

Prepare a sumptuous feast

The celebration for the new Lunar Year is a time for families to enjoy each other’s company over good food and have high hopes for the year ahead. Among the favorite food prepared in households are Tikoy, pansit, fish, and round fruits such as mandarine oranges, pomelos and suha.
