I cannot exactly remember when and where I discovered Tous and its classic line of bear designed jewelries. The most I can recall, I visited their SM Mall of Asia branch to see the popular bear bangles. I was also oriented to other pieces like the pearl earrings and dainty necklaces. I fell in love with the bangle and promised to purchase in the future. At that time, the piece I wanted retails at Php 23,500.

Tous Mesh and Gold Bear Bangle : A Review and Shopping Experience in the Philippines

"One could fall in love many times during the course of our lifetime, but the first rush of love always hold a special place in our hearts."

I don't own this quote, but I remember reading this as a Facebook status message of one my contacts. First love, first crush, first heartache, and all those "firsts" in our lives would always mark a special trace in our life. And when I say "firsts" I don't just pertain to love. I also refer to other experiences like first day as a college freshmen, first job interview, first payday, first promotion, first time to experience a failing grade.. we all have our own memorable and painful stories.

And why am I suddenly reminiscing about my "firsts"? Everything is all explained in this new TV Commercial of Nestle Philippines. 

I hope you could take time to watch this short TV commercial. It might take some minutes for the video clip to load, but I assure you that everything is worth the wait.





The music used in the video was a Filipino song originally performed by the Apo Hiking Society. The title of the song was "Di Ko Malimutan," which literally translates as "I will never forget." The song tells us that we can never forget the time when we started to learn how to love and to be loved in return.

The commercial became so close to my heart because it's very family oriented and it depicted the special unconditional love of our parents. Aside from God, I believe that parents are the next best individuals who can prove the existence of selfless love.  

Love grows and even strengthens over time. Our parents and families are again the best people to attest that this is possible. Who could ever thought that an innocent crush and "puppy love" could grow and develop for a lifetime. Loving someone over time is not always a walk in the park. Problems and trials will come and surviving all of these is what strengthens that love.

Yesterday was not a good day for me. If we share the same experience, I hope this video clip was able to somehow cheer you up. I know there will be more "firsts" that would come my way. Whatever it takes, I know it will pass and my life would carry on..

I started blogging here. If I'm not mistaken, I started three blogs in this platform. However, with a not so good experience with Google Adsense, I was forced to close my account and try other blog hosting sites. 

I am currently maintaining two blogs, one is from Wordpress and the other from Tumblr. I discovered Wordpress as a result of mere internet search. I was looking for other sites that provide free blogging opportunities. I initially found the tools and features of Wordpress hard to decipher. I find it not as user-friendly, relative to Blogger. Wordpress on the positive side has useful features not present in other blogs. It has this Site Stats menu where you could monitor the number of times your site has been visited. It even includes the web sources of your hits. Blogger I believe does not have this feature before it became a member of Google's family. It also has a wider choices for template designs. What further inspires me to continue blogging at Wordpress is the chance to be featured in their global dashboard. Wordpress features articles of bloggers that are timely and very interesting.

Tumblr however is the extreme opposite. Tumblr lives to its claim of blogging made easy. New blog features such as liking an entry and reblogging (similar to retweeting in Twitter) were pioneered by Tumblr. However, I feel that Tumblr is more fitted to photo, video, music bloggers. It doesn't match bloggers who are in writing. Tumblr follows this strict rule that when you upload a text, it's limited to a text. If you want to insert pictures in your text entry, you have to host it from other sites. Direct uploading of photos in entries chosen as text is not permitted. You can insert photos by simply adding up the exact URL. However, uploading of photos, video, and music in Tumblr as a blog entry is fast and better. For some reasons, I find uploaded pictures in Tumblr with better quality and resolution.

Why am I suddenly returning to Blogger? An unsatisfied customer would definitely look for an alternative. Tumblr has been down since yesterday. I am in blog mode and Tumblr has been suppressing my fingers to type and release those thoughts. Although I have my other blog at Wordpress, I prefer to have separate blogs. My Wordpress account is intended for serious writing. Tumblr houses my light, informal and everyday writing activities. 

I just hope that my return here in Blogger would not bring me another source of frustration. I hope Blogger won't let me down again.
