Introducing VIBBIDI: Appreciating Your Favorite Music Albums Through Narratives

Movies, Music and Travel. These are three things that I am really passionate about. When I am not traveling, I would go to the cinema to escape from reality for a while. When I am on a long trip, I listen to music to still be inspired on my idle time. These three are related in one way or another.

My Vibbidi Narratives featuring Jennifer Lopez (On The 6), Shakira (Laundry Service) and Ariana Grande (Dangerous Woman)


I am happy to announce that I have an ongoing collaboration with a new platform called VIBBIDI!  It’s a free web-based music streaming service that’s available on any device that has an internet connection. I’ve been using it for a month now and it is just fun to rediscover some of the albums that I loved in the past and to find new materials from emerging artists.

The thing that I love about Vibbidi is the feature called ‘Narratives’. In this section, music lovers share how a specific album means to them and how they can relate to the artists. As I publish this post, I’ve written the following:

Participate in SHARP’s 100th Anniversary Share Campaign!

SHARP is definitely one of the most trusted brands in Asia as far as useful appliances and gadgets are concerned. In fact, I have a number of memories with our SHARP appliances while I was growing up.

I remember our SHARP TV Set that my parents bought when I was still in elementary. I love watching TV shows and movies as a kid yet at a young age, I was taught to balance my priorities in life. I need to finish ALL my assignments first before I am allowed to watch my favorite TV show. Our Sharp TV Set also played a major role in terms of family bonding since we would watch together in the living room on weekends with VHS rentals. My dad would prepare popcorn, buy some sodas the viola! Automatic Family Weekend!

Sharp's 100th Anniversary Campaign website https://share.sharp100years.com/

Being a student of a Special Science High School, we were required in majority of our subjects to bring scientific calculator with us. I ‘inherited’ my cousin’s Sharp Scientific Calculator after he graduated from his Commerce course. Even if I am already a ‘second-hand’ user of this device, it did help me a lot in my subjects. I even used it when I went to college!

We may not realize it, but we tend not to appreciate the things that makes our daily lives a bit more easier. Now that I do reminisce our old Sharp TV Set, VHS Player (inherited from a relative) and Scientific Calculator (inherited from my cousin), I can’t help but feel emotional.

2011 Conference on IT Concepts: A Slice of the Web Today (Lyceum-Northwestern University)

I am packing my stuff for tomorrow! I’ll be returning to Dagupan City and this time, I am tagging some blogger friends with me for a seminar at my beloved alma mater, Lyceum-Northwestern University.

I’ve been invited as a speaker to several blogging events and most of the time, I am sharing my own insights on Basics of Blogging (Blogging 101) and Personal Blogging. Usually, I’d meet aspiring bloggers after each talk and i’d see them work on their own platforms a month after. The Philippine Blogging Community is indeed growing.

I Support HotelwithHeart.com’s Pencil Project

The Pencil. What can a Pencil do? It is just a simple tool that can launch a thousand ideas. I remember when I was younger, I had my own magic pencil case. I kept three, which i usually use in school. As I grew older, i shifted to pens and now I am blogging with the use of the keyboard. Pencil might be a small tool, but it can be a source of something big.

I Support HWH's Pencil Project

A few weeks ago, Manu informed me about this new online hotel called HotelWithHeart.com. What caught my attention is that the people behind this online hotel booking website is actively supporting some charities.

HotelWithHeart.com partnered up with Efren Penaflorida’s Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) for HWH Pencil Project Signature Campaign. How does it work? All you have to do is sign up via the HWH Facebook Page and go to the Pencil Project tab for the Digital Signature. HWH will donate 1 pencil to DTC for every digital signature (Like and Sign Ups) collected.

On Angelo Reyes and His Shocking Death

I don’t really have any plans of blogging right now, but I found out that the Former Armed Forces Chief and Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes shot himself a few hours ago and is now pronounced dead. I am not really into Philippine Politics (it is much more scarier than the fictional horror stories with real-life monsters) and I am not really updated with his case.

RIP Angelo Reyes

A flash report posted on a reliable news website mentioned some of Angelo Reyes’ credentials. He seemed to be a very outstanding student and he was able to study in prestigious institutions. It is really sad that all his hardwork in building a name of his own was just thrown away – just like that.

Micamyx and Adaphobic on Tek Tok TV

Guesting on a TV show with one of your craziest blogger friend on a Saturday is fun! Yesterday, Ada Lajara of Adaphobic and I went to Global News Network’s studio for the advanced taping of Tek Tok TV. It is a tech show aired every Wednesday morning in Destiny Cable’s Global News Network. It is hosted by Vince Golangco of WhenInManila.com and of course, my ever sexy friend Hannah Villasis of FlairCandy.com.

Mica and Ada with Vince before the final take

Mica and Ada with Vince before the final take

Ada and I were quite excited when we received the invitation from Vince to finally guest on the show. Usually, the blogger feature part is concentrated on one blogger per show. I guess two is better than one especially if the two bloggers featured on the episode share a lot of things in common.  During the interview, we were able to share some of our personal insights about blogging, the benefits of being a blogger and gave random tips for the newbies. The fun part is when we were asked to narrate on how Ada and I became good friends and we were able to share some of our travel pictures (then I realized we’ve to a LOT of places already! 😛 )
