And these will be the crowns of MWP2013 and her four Princesses.

The Coronation Night of Miss World Philippines 2013 is almost set.

The venue will be neatly arranged like the photo above which is inside the huge Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort and Casino. GMA-7 will be airing and Rico Gutierrez directing.

The hosts are ready, with KC Montero, Victor Basa and Carla Abellana onstage. MW2011 Gwen Ruais will be the anchor. Special guest performers will be Dennis Trillo and Tom Rodriguez of “My Husband’s Lover” fame.

And one of the 25 Official Candidates will come out victorious. She will be instantly swept off her feet for the nearing departure date for Indonesia.

And I am excited. Are you, dear readers? 🙂

The 20 Castaways

For the second time around, Richard Gutierrez will host Survivor Philippines. In its 4th season, the twist centers on the Celebrity Doubles Showdown where ten (10) pairs of celebrities with different affiliations will try to outlast each other to win the PhP3 Million Top Prize as Sole Survivor.

The competition was entirely shot in beautiful, remote and still relatively untamed San Vicente, Palawan with the approval of US-based Castaway Productions. The place is like paradise tucked away in the islands around the province. According to reports, this group of castaways has been the most complaint-filled, most whining and most controversial in all the four seasons of the show.

Starting tonight on GMA-7’s Telebabad, the popular reality program will unfold. Airing Mondays to Fridays, see who among the 20 castaways will fill the show with drama and excitement and who will physically and mentally excel in all the challenges and strategizing involved.

Nood na, mga Katribo! 😉

Norman’s Blog turns 2 today!

July 9 is extra special for me because Norman's Blog is officially 2 years old today!

I woke up with an extra glint in my eyes this morning. My blog is now 2 years-old! Pardon the cliche’ but I can’t believe I’ve made it this far as a blogger. Two years ago today, I had no clear commitment to doing this on a regular basis, let alone a one-blog-a-day proposition. Credit goes to Miss Universe 2009 which spurred me to start devoting part of my time to the same. The encouraging support of loyal readers and visitors continuously motivate me. The daily hits normally move on an up-and-down mode, but I am extra proud of what happened last April 11, 2011 when my blog had 34,658 views on that day alone! My topic then was about the winners of Binibining Pilipinas 2011.

From hereon, I can only move to bigger and better things. And I sincerely wish that you, my dear readers, will keep dropping by and share at least a minute or two of your time in reading or looking at my daily entries. I promise to keep my blogs as reader-friendly (short, sweet and visually appealing) as always!

By the way, let me thank TV Host/VJ/DJ KC Montero and Actress/Model/DJ Kat Alano for the free plugging of my blog in the “KC Show with Kat” (Mondays-Fridays 8am-11am on Wave 89.1), i.e., everytime I call them up in the morning (as ‘Hannibal’). Actually, I don’t need to shamelessly utter my URL anymore because KC always jumps the gun on me in shouting ‘normannorman.wordpress.com’. Special thanks as well to OPMB Worldwide, Missosology Forums and Mabuhay Beauties.

Okay, time to get back to regular programming! Onwards to Year 3! 😉

Have you eaten your Gourmet Pao today?

Mikaela Lagdameo-Martinez, the brains behind Gourmet Pao

I’m not sure why it took me this long to discover the yummy Gourmet Pao because I had all the reasons to get a headstart among the rest. First of all, I am the next-door neighbor of the beautiful Mikaela Lagdameo-Martinez who started the business with some family members. As such, I could have read all the clues when they posted a tarpaulin on their gate advertising the product when it was just starting late last year. Secondly, twitter circles have been literally flooded with praises from people who got hooked to the same. Coupled with Mikaela’s active marketing skills, she was able to raise awareness such that customers have been buying boxes upon boxes – either for personal consumption or as gifts. (Insert hats off and clapping)

Earlier this week, Mikaela sent a box of Gourmet Pao to my house as Christmas Gift. It had three Grandes inside and let me tell you, eating one is almost equivalent to a (burp!) full-sized meal. So what my mom and I did was to eat half and half of two flavors (Chucho and Longga Ka Day) and we’re all set for dessert afterwards. Our verdict: it was so good that we decided to check out the other variants as soon as the next craving calls.

One serving of a Grande Gourmet Pao is almost like eating a full lunch or dinner.

The colored dots above (which can also be seen on top of each Gourmet Pao) make it easy to identify which flavor you're eating or buying.
