New Jersey is not just a place boasting with rich natural resources. It is the United State's 4th smallest state yet one of the wealthiest. Having a balance of nature and technology, this is one spot that tourists from the local and international scene would love to visit.   

Tourism is the primary source of New Jersey's booming economy. But nowadays, leisure and entertainment is also contributing to the wealth of the state. Thanks to the 1976 referendum which legalized casino gambling in New Jersey. Now, it is not only Las Vegas that is known for mega-casino resorts; even New Jersey is now home to several casinos which attracted more tourists from all over the globe.  

In 2013, another milestone happened for New Jersey when online gambling was signed into law. Now, different types and kinds of online casinos were established all around the state.  

Online gambling also known as internet gambling, is a form of gambling using the internet. Online gambling has many forms such as poker - wherein players play against each other rather than the "house;" casinos - which is played against the "house;" sports betting - which is a game of predicting the sports results; bingo; lotteries - which are normally controlled by the government; horse racing betting; mobile gambling - which is a game of chance played in a mobile device; in-play gambling - which is a king of sports betting that allows the player to bet while the event is in progress; and advance deposit wagering - wherein the bettor funds his account first before he can place his bet.


One of the online gambling that is now paving its way to the state's gaming industry is the slot casino New Jerseyknown as SugarHouse Online Casino. One of its newest games is the Guns n Roses video slot which is perfect for anyone who simply wants to rock, roll and win prizes online. This new game is full of exciting new features such as random multiplayer up to 10 times and the multi-awarded bonus wheel. 

SugarHouse also introduced King Cash, a new online casino which gives away a lot of generous bonuses and rewards. When you sign up via the site and play, King Cash will award you with wheel spin of $10-$20 guaranteed free play. Just recently on King Cash's Treasure Hunt, a total prize of $50,000 was given away to lucky players. 

There are more games that you will love and enjoy playing via the SugarHouse. Answer the call of the wild and play Jungle Games. Play the Lucky Angler : Snowy Catch to beat the heat. Experience circus like Cirque du Soleil in Kooza. For the lovers of Twilight, there's Blood Suckers to play with and win. These and more games that suit your interests and gaming styles can be discovered from the King Cash Casino. 



Another feature that players will surely love is the SugarHouse chat functionality. You can shout for joy online and share your feelings of excitement or just enjoy having friendly conversations with likeminded individuals playing online, through chatrooms. 

Wait there's more! SugarHouse is taking your online playing experience to the next level with the iRush Rewards. iRush Rewards members will get to enjoy more rewards at SugarHouse Casino and escalated online rewards. The iRush is also giving the members guaranteed bingo events and multiplied prize winnings to complimentary cruises and playing devices.

Baby Company continues to offer innovative products for baby's safety and comfort


Baby Company is one of the country's go-to source for mommy and baby needs. This is the only store in the country with almost complete stuff for Moms and babies - such as clothes, toys, furniture, bath essentials, toiletries, feeding needs, mattresses, baby bags, maternity needs, weaning accessories and more. Whether you are a first-time Mom or an experience one, you will surely love and enjoy everything that's being offered inside the store.

One Sunday afternoon, while strolling around SM City Molino in Cavite, we passed by Baby Company. Since I was with my two years old boy, we went inside to take a look of what Baby Company has in store.


The baby furniture got my attention, not just because they are on sale for up to 50% off  (until June 30, 2017) but because they all look new and unique unlike the ones we have bought 10 years ago. I have always trusted Baby Company's baby furniture because they are really of good quality and are durable. The playpen and the crib that we bought last 2006 has been used by my kids until 2012. After 2012, the metal parts are still in good condition and the fabric just faded a bit, but was never broken or torn; so we just donated it to someone who needs it more than us.

We first take a look at this white wooden crib which is a product of Dwelling. What's the advantage of using wooden crib? First it's durable than plastic one, it can withstand the tests of time; and it will definitely look good on any nursery room. Not to mention the comfort it will bring while your little one is asleep.


( note : beddings & mosquito not included)

(The sides of the crib has teething guard)

This white Dwelling wooden crib measures 28 inches X 52 inches. It has adjustable mattress to fit the baby while he/she is growing up. One of the feature that sets it apart from other wooden cribs is the teething guard. The sides of the crib is covered with clear white thin rubber so baby won't get hurt when he/she starts to bite anything. It has four pieces of  wheel accessory which  can be used to easily transport the crib. The wheels are also secured with one press lock, for baby's safety. 


My little boy personally chose this blue plastic toddler bed with a dreamy theme. This bed measures 28 inches x 52 inches and suits kids 3 yrs old until 7 or 8 depending on the kids height and weight. It has no unique features, it's just like the ordinary bed for kids but there are more bed designs/themes to choose from.



This baby furniture from Apruva is a baby crib and playpen in one. It has diaper change mat and bed and extra storage for diapers, feeding bottles, baby wipes and stuff that the baby needs most of the time. It can also be converted into a rocker by pulling out the two metal underneath. It can be folded for easy storage, See how compact it is once folded? This is a great baby furniture because of it's pack-on-the-go feature. It can be carried anywhere even when travelling to a far away place.



This gray Graco stroller is another interesting big stuff in Baby Company. It's not just a stroller, it also has a car seat and a car base. The stroller and the car seat is made from breathable material for baby's comfort. The stroller, car base and car seat has a lot of safety features including locks and belts to protect baby. The car seat can be securely attached to the stroller and can also be converted into a rocker so you don't need to transfer baby once he fell asleep on seat.


Even high chairs have now been reinvented and modified. Unlike the conventional heavy and bulky high chairs made of wood or metal from few years back, this Baby Co's high chair is lighter and can be folded for easy storage. Its height can be adjusted  and it has safety belts too. Its parts can be reclined or declined easily for baby's comfort. The feeding table has a plastic cover that can be detached and cleaned easily.


There's just so much to love about Baby Company. You'll never regret spending your hard-earned money here because the store is home of quality and safe products for Moms and kids. I am sure you'll agree with me if I would say that Baby Company is the most trusted Mom and Baby store in the Philippines.

The Northern part of the Philippines is a beautiful place but living there can have its ups and downs. The all year-round of sunning and funning often requires an exhausting body maintenance,

When you have the option to slip into your shorts and head to the beach or pool any time of the year, the goal is to maintain skin that’s smooth, no matter what season, which can certainly be sorted out by an appointment to your nearest waxing salon.

Celebrity couple, Harlene and Romnick Sarmenta gives back as Salu turns 1

To provide hungry ManileƱos with authentic treats from different parts of the Philippines, the celebrity couple, Romnick Sarmenta and Harlene Bautista established Salu The Filipino Restaurant on June 9, 2016. After a year, they thrive and are ready to offer more delectable and unique surprises for customers who deserve more when it comes to Pinoy food trip.


The restaurant opened their anniversary month with a blockbuster promo of buy take 1 take 1 of their famous ‘BLK’ (Binagoongang Lechon Kare-kare). A Piso for Brazo de Kalabasa shall also be enjoyed by the first 100 guests for every purchase of Php500.00 on June 11, 2017. Both of these promos were made to give thanks to all Ka-Salu/s who have dined and craved for the best of Salu plates this past year. “Masarap at nakakataba ng puso ang aming unang taon. So we thought, why not give thanks and extend to our customers those blessings that we earned because of their trust through these simple promos. These two dishes, BLK and Brazo De Kalabasa, are our top moving dish and desert on our first year. So its fitting to grant a ‘one’ of a kind treat with buy ‘one’ take ‘one’ and a ‘one’ peso dessert, as we turn ‘one”, shared by Mr. Sarmenta.

During the thanksgiving lunch that had happened last June 9, 2017, the celebrity couple also shared a colorful year that was for Salu. These include gaining tie ups with some organizations such as Hashtag Philippines through Antoinette Taus, where an average of 300 kids are fed every event with Salu packed lunches that come with love notes from volunteers. Salu was also chosen to represent the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao for the biggest food convention in the world - Madrid Fusion, where they showcased their best southern dishes that’s available only at restaurants. Chefs, culinary experts , and delegates of the congress were in awe with the taste of Mindanao cuisines that’s unique and distinct due to special ingredients such as pampa, that’s famous in Mindanao. Some of the featured dishes include Beef Kulma, Syagul Pagi, Utak Utak and Pyanggang. “We are grateful to be chosen by DOT-ARMM headed by Mrs. Ayesha Mangudadatu Dilangalen, to represent their region at the presitigous Madrid Fusion. We have built this brand to be the culinary authority when it comes to all things Filipino. And being chosen to participate in such convention was an affirmation that indeed, we somehow are in the right path of meeting our mission. Hopefully on our second year, we can serve more authentic plates and continue to be a portal for all guests to discover all the flavors of this country, especially those that are still undiscovered”, says Mrs. Harlene Bautista-Sarmenta.

On its second year, Salu also unveils their campaign #SarapMabuhay. This showcases not just the exciting flavors that this country has to offer but also highlights the abundance of fresh ingredients that can make any kitchen push for magic. It also refers to the kind of people that you dine with which ranges from family, friends and even strangers and the overall experience of ‘salu-salo’ in the Philippines which has always been distinct. The campaign would still highlight the adventures of the owners as they search for the next ultimate plates to bring back home to Salu, to be made available for all who want to discover more. Exciting products and experiences are also up for grabs for all diners. The Pilipinas Platter, their version of a group feast, gives customers an opportunity to taste all the specialties in different parts of the Philippines. All the cuisines are creatively plated on a special carved Pilipinas wooden plate. Luto Ni Nanay gives moms a chance to cook with the talented chefs of Salu as they learn to prepare one of a kind dishes for the family. All these plus and addition to their already exciting range of pinoy to pinoy fused dishes called Likhang Salu will be served and made available this June!

Here are some of the dishes to look forward to on Salu's second year and beyond...

Conchinillo - roasted suckling pig; available by reservation

Sinigang na Butu-buto

Hipon sa Aligue

Pork Ribs

Sinampalukang Hito

Binagoongang Lechon Kare-kare

Better and bigger deals on online games

Bingo is one of the most popular games of chance around the world. It's so easy to play, surprising, rewarding and enjoyable, aside from the fact that you don't have to bet a huge amount of money for a game.


I remember few years back, I became a regular player of Bingo station located inside a mall nearby our place. That was never my hobby, just a form of relaxation after a week's tiring work. But going to Bingo stations can be a bit tiring too as I have to travel to and from the mall and sometimes dare the traffic, heavy rains, flood and other out-of-control situations. So I slowly took the game out of my system.

Some days ago, while browsing the web, I came across Boomtown Bingo reviews. Being a Bingo player once, I got curious and interested to find out what kind of Bingo is this one. Boomtown is an online site that publishes reviews about Bingo sites. It shares new Bingo sites and the deals being offered. Boomtown helps Bingo players online decide which Bingo site best fit them.


I landed to the page featuring Harry's Bingo. The look of the site's homepage is really inviting. Why not? I am a lover of anything lavender in color. I have learned that Harry's Bingo is currently offering £15 bonus upon registration, with no deposit required. Player will also enjoy 400% bonus on their first deposit. Harry's Bingo has a lot of Bingo games to choose from plus it encourages players to be more friendly with other players through their chatrooms. For those who are always on the go, they can still enjoy Harry's Bingo while outside of their home because it is mobile-friendly. It can be played on most mobile devices such as smartphones, iphones and tablets.

I just realized, I can enjoy my favorite game once more. Even if its raining, windy of stormy, I can play Bingo in the comfort of my own home or while I travel, as long as I have an internet connection. It's really amazing how technology has changed that even our past time activities can be done online.
So that's it for now, I have to register fast cause I am already itching to try the online Bingo...

NearGroup aims to connect Filipinos from all over the globe


The internet has changed the way people communicate with each other. Nowadays, there is no reason not to talk or to see your loved one even once in a day, no matter the distance, no matter the time.

I remember 30 years ago, Filipinos basic means of communicating is through letters that are sent in the mail. If the message is urgent, they would look for a telegram. Telephones are too few during those days. During the millennium, the way people communicate drastically change because of the introduction of the internet and the existence of mobile phones. There comes email and mobile communication which make it a lot easier for people to check on their loved ones, anytime and anywhere.

Nowadays, communication has been given a new face through several types of apps where you can't just call but you can also video call. The communication today is real-time and clearer because of the apps that has been introduced via the internet. This also leads to another innovation called Neargroup.

NearGroup is a Social Chatbot which runs on Facebook Messenger. It currently has over 700k users from the Philippines and growing. If you are not yet familiar, let this simple overview show you something about the app.

How to start using NearGroup?
1. From the FB Messenger app, search "NearGroup" the App Page. Once it appeared just click.


2. Click "Get Started" to be redirected to the next steps.


3. Input some information and preferences for chatting.


4. Last step would be pinning your location, but worry not, they are not sharing where you are. After that, the app will automatically search for topics near your place and then you can start joining a chatroom or create one.


The app can filter who you want to chat with and the location of the people you want to chat with. With that, we can always communicate with likeminded people around us. Now FB Messenger is a lot more exciting because Neargroup easily connects Filipinos from around the world through the app. 

Let's get to know more better our "kababayans." Let's communicate with them through NearGroup and let's start building better bonds of friendship...
