Pulp Fiction? Minute Maid Pulpy is REAL!



I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... I'm in bottled juice heaven and the Miinute Maid Pulpy makers are angels.

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse...carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I... now believe it's for real and that I'm on Earth although I'm still convinced that the makers of Minute Maid Pulpy are angels in disguise.

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means... I can enjoy the freshness and pulpy goodness of a real orange in a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy and live a healthy lifestyle.

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna tell everyone I know and live my life to the pulp by drinking Minute Maid Pulpy everyday 

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

Love,

Pozorrubio's Best: Beauty, Brawn and Blades

Pozorrubio has a lot to be proud of nowadays. Pozorrubio's best are world class! They have brought pride and accolades not just for the town and Pangasinan but the entire Philippines. The 3 P's (Pozorrubio, Pangasinan and Philippines) have 3 B's: Beauty, Brawn and Blades.


Beauty: Barbara "Barbie" Salvador, just won as Miss Cosmopolitan International 2010/11 (3rd runner up) in the Miss Tourism International 2010. 55 candidates represented their respective countries and competed in the pageant. 


Brawn:  Ana "Hurricane" Julaton, the World Boxing Organization Super Bantamweight Champion who is based in San Francisco, California has Filipino roots in Pozorrubio, Pangasinan.


Blades: Blade Culture International (BCI) in Brgy. Palacpalac, Pozorrubio, Pangasinan made the swords and blades used in blockbuster films like Lord of the Rings, Braveheart and Batman Begins.

These are welcome development as to veer away from the negative stereotype of the town  associated with tangay-tangay.

Cellphones for Sale, Ayos Dito!

Buying and selling online have been a cumbersome task for newbies and even for the internet- acquainted Filipinos. AyosDito.ph has made the experience easy, simple and free. One can easily post an ad or look for items and services to buy, and avail of. You can find your next car, house, job, computer, cellphone or pet in the site. Isn't that nice?



As a tech addict, my favorite site to visit in AyosDito.ph is the gadgets and cellphones for sale section. The price, pictures and details of the item you want are displayed so you can find the best buy. The items are also categorized by region so you get what you want in the area where you live in. You may even discover that the item you are yearning for is just available a few blocks away. Or you may found out it is your neighbor who is selling them.


I am from Pangasinan that is why when I needed a new mobile phone all I did was to search for cellphones for sale in Ilocos Region in the AyosDito.ph site. Also, I was able to sell my old Nokia phone by posting an Ad at the site. Buying and selling online does not have to be complicated. Everything is easy and simple and right here on your marketplace in the Philippines. The experience I had so far is great and all I can say is: “Ayos Dito!”

Is Santa Claus a Rotarian?


IS SANTA CLAUS A ROTARIAN?
by PDG Chris Offer, D5040
Rotary Club of Vancouver Chinatown

I have long suspected that Santa Claus is a Rotarian. I therefore decided to put my thirty years of police experience to work to discover the truth, after all, I am a trained investigator with a degree in criminology.

Santa needs a Rotary club if he is a Rotarian.  I checked the International Directory and then the RI web site for Where Clubs Meet. Sure enough, I found a possible club. The Rotary Club of North Pole is in District 5010, Alaska, located near Fairbanks. This is a smidgen baffling since everyone knows the real North Pole is in Canada. Santa may prefer to be in the warmer south of Alaska rather than the north. He could also be a member of an E-club but I doubt that as he clearly likes Rotary lunches.

Next Santa would need a classification. There are several possibilities, Toys-Export, Reindeer-Teamster, Counsellor Pre-Adolescent Behaviour, Toys-Manufacturing or Elf Management.  All valid classifications. There is no indication of a Rotary pin on his jacket but it could be concealed under all that fur trim. If Santa is a Rotarian, he plainly is a 100% attender and has never missed a Rotary lunch.

The real evidence is, does he act like a Rotarian? Does he put “Service Above Self?” The answer is unequivocally yes. Santa is dedicated to improving the lives of children. He is committed to bringing happiness to children around the world no matter what race, religion, creed or ethnic group they are from. He distributes tens of thousands of books to children to increase literacy and he gives gifts of toys that stimulate young minds to achieve their full potential. He volunteers as a mentor, spending countless hours at shopping malls listening to children’s secret wishes. Santa without question works to realize the Object of Rotary.

The only conclusion that can be reached is, “Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus is a Rotarian! I just hope he does a make up at my club this year!
