Saludo: A Concert For Heroes at Nuvali

I love the song Hero by Mariah Carey... "There's a hero, if you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you are. ". When you think about it, anyone can be a hero these days. How? That's easy... I went to Nuvali a few days ago, I got schooled on how an ordinary citizen like you and me could be the HERO we always dream of!

 

This is SALUDO - A Concert For Heroes. The HERO Foundation in cooperation with Ayala Corporation and NUVALI just had one epic night of giving thanks to those who have helped earn money for those who are left behind by our heroes... the soldiers. They have been fighting local conflicts for ages and when they get injured or couldn't get out of war alive, their families suffer too. This is why they've set up a scholarship fund for the dependents of these soldiers who also deserve to have a better future like you and me.

Who's performing? Well we've got first dibs on that so we saw these gorgeous men from 6CycleMind.

Honestly, I've only seen them perform 5 times and they grew on me. They are spectacular performers!

There's also the gorgeous Iya Villana. I didn't know she did things I've never even dreamed of LOL I'll fill you in on that later!

They all support HERO FOUNDATION INC. which can be found at www.herofoundation.com.ph. There are several ways you can support them but with any amount you can actually donate it with them and make yourself a useful part of society... and even now a full pledged HERO! How? Each amount you send them would actually go to the scholarship of these kids who need it to spend for their education. They need to eat, they need to sleep somewhere so the costs of living are really high in any part of the country. They would be able to help these sons and daughters of soldiers and have them be part of the program so they would be better members of this society. Maybe later on they can become soldiers too. They have been overwhelmed about response overseas but really they need more help so they can send more kids to school. It's difficult to define a hero, but without the need to sacrifice it pretty much says something about you becoming a hero for these kids too. That easy!

Some of their board members and executives were present and said a few words explaining the cause. They also got the kids in the concert. Quite an admirable job they are doing for these orphans/beneficiaries.

The kids know how much your help means to them. They thanked the crowd quite beautifully we almost cried.

Governor ER Ejercito also graced the program. Then after that they gave him a symbolic pin for the help he's been extending to the cause.

This is really a very noble cause. So if you would like to help just head on to their site and there are tons of ways to help. You just have to.

Then after that, we were treated with 6CycleMind's music!

What a way to thank people for helping these kids go to school. These guys as I said are awesome performers. I love them!

Since they were almost all singers, Iya wanted to up the ante and got to do this awesome dance number. Yes ladies and gentlemen, she was in the air!

Now I didn't know Iya could do this. It was awesome I thought we were watching something from an international circus!

Then we also had our ears treated to some great music from the one and only NINA!

I'm so glad we live in this country where worldclass talents just flourish from every corner. Nina is just awesome! She sang a lot from her unplugged album. We were all so mezmerized!

Then one of my rock gods just appeared!

It was one awesome night. It was one awesome cause. I'm sure if we do our part to help these kids in some small way we can, it'll go a long way. So please, if you can contribute anything it'll be these kids that would benefit from it.

Bamboo said it was indeed an honor to perform in front of these kids and their families. He said it was doubly nice to know that he was able to help in a way that he can. He's also so nice to talk to. He's going to take a break for a while to spend more time with his family and friends. He's also writing more songs so we can expect a lot from him soon. Thank you Bamboo for letting us talk to you on this occasion. Now all we have to do now is find a way to help the HERO FOUNDATION INC. help some kids get their scholarships. When they graduate, we'll have a grand time realizing that we were part of their struggle... we were there to help and be their heroes.

Please help if you can

Twinkling Treats From Gonuts Donuts Plus!

I got so excited a few days ago because Christmas officially started in our home. Clad in my jammies and rags I woke up to quite a spectacular package from Gonuts Donuts!

Wooohpie! I was spinning around, jumping up and down and running around the house because I was so happy to receive gifts this early! Oh the joy, I just couldn't contain it! So I did the next best thing, I opened up the box and my eyes... just went teary eyed!

Now tell me, who in the right mind won't be happy seeing these awesome Gonuts Donuts treats on the table? Oh and may I just tell you, it was a dozen of these gorgeous donuts sent my way showing how much they really love me! You just instantly feel that happiness just resides in this side of the world! ^_^

Of course, I had to take a bite at these wonderful doughnuts!

Think about thick frosting with cutouts of sugar based candies that makes you close your eyes and wonder, how in the world did this happen? Then when you are caught unaware, a sudden burst of your favorite filling, the sweet mellow Bavarian, the oozing sweet Caramel and the tangy Lemon Cream. Well, they've got hundreds of reasons why people flock their stores in the metro. But these special ones would probably only last til Christmas season ends.

Then they made it even more special!

Do you know what's on this box?! =)

It was more Twinkling Treats from Gonuts Donuts! I bet these are Gingerbread cookies.

All wrapped up in individual packs are these gorgeous treats that's covered in glistening sugar and frosting. It's not too sweet and perfect for those kids who you don't want to end up with a sugar rush. This is something that I definitely would recommend if you want something to hang on your Christmas trees. Actually I got them all hanged up since then. Well, not really because I ate some of it haha!

I especially love the green one with the gingerbread man on top. It crumbles so slightly just the way I like it. I ate all these three because I need to take photos and sample them of course! :)

Now if you are up to it why not rush over to your favorite Gonuts Donuts stores nationwide and pick up some of these awesome treats that are only available this Christmas season! Oh and of course there are still some of your favorites like the Glazed Doughnuts which I absolutely LOVE! It's CRAZY! YOU MUST GRAB A DOZEN OR MORE NOW! It's time to go nuts with GoNuts Donuts!
