Sunrise Trail Hike at Masungi Georeserve: An Empowering and Meaningful Birthday Celebration

-

Since I was a child, as soon as June approaches, I feel thrilled because it's my birth month. I don't eagerly anticipate gifts, but rather the greetings from family and friends. It brings me joy. I am easily pleased. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Whenever I am asked what I want for my birthday, my usual response is "nothing" or "I don't know; I can't think of anything I want or need." I am not materialistic. I am happy. I am healthy. I am blessed with family and true friends. Feeling ko nasa akin na ang lahat and I prefer inner peace. Fancy that! Haha. I find more joy in giving, whether to family, friends, or even strangers. But this time, I said, "Lord, can I give myself a gift this time?" Since a retreat in Batulao is not possible yet, I scheduled a day for myself for a pampering session at the mall. I want to have a massage, facial, manicure/pedicure. I simply wish to unwind and disconnect from the online world for an entire...

SM City Grand Central Unveils Enchanting "Venetian Wonderland" for Christmas 2026

-

A Touch of Italy Comes to Caloocan this Holiday Season 

Christmas in Northern Metro Manila takes a beautiful Italian twist this year. SM City Grand Central proudly presents "Venetian Wonderland," its stunning 2026 holiday centerpiece inspired by the timeless canals of Venice and the famously colorful streets of Burano Island.

Step into the mall atrium, and you're transported. A glowing canal winds through the space, flanked by charming Venetian architecture, illuminated bridges, and a traditional gondola waiting to carry you into the season. Every corner feels like a scene from a festive evening in Italy — perfect for photos, quiet moments, and soaking up that wonderful Christmas atmosphere.

The Magic of Burano Comes to Life

At the heart of the display stands a magnificent 34-foot Christmas tree, glowing bright and crowned with radiant starbursts. It rises amidst pastel-colored houses that capture the cheerful spirit of Burano, the island famous for its vibrant homes and rich heritage.

Wander along the gently lit canal, snap a photo aboard the gondola, and say hello to the friendly gondolier elf. Cross the brick arch bridges, stroll under warm street lamps, and let the festive details transport you. The experience even extends beyond the main display — holiday pop-ups and market-inspired stalls surround the atrium, offering gifts, treats, and that cozy European Christmas market feel right here in the city.

More Than Just a Display — It's a Destination

Venetian Wonderland is more than a beautiful decoration. It's a place where the community comes together to celebrate, create memories, and feel the joy of the season. Families, friends, and visitors can shop, dine, explore, and simply be together — all wrapped in the magic of Venice right here at home.

This centerpiece is part of SM Supermalls' nationwide "SM Magical Sparkle" Christmas campaign, bringing unique and wonderful holiday themes to SM malls across the country.

Venetian Wonderland is now on display at the Mall Atrium, SM City Grand Central. Come visit, bring your loved ones, and experience the wonder for yourself .

“ No elegance is possible without perfume. It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory.” – Coco Chanel Have you found your ultimate accessory? I found mine but it's too pricey. Good thing I found a perfume with almost the same scent, but economical that can stay from 4 hours up to 8hours! Eight (8) hours because it offers a 20-30% percent concentration of oils, Perfume Dessert. Perfume dessert is guaranteed 100% from the U.K. No fakes! You can check it by the first 3 digits of the barcode, they do indicate the country in which the company is based, or the manufacturing company is headquartered, its first 3 digit is 506, and U.K's barcode is from 500-509.
