This is a tag for a worthy cause. Please support by blogging about this PINK RIBBON MONTH from TheBreastCancerSite.com that will help fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word about The Breast Cancer Site and by clicking the pink button as many times as you can. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms. You will be helping to save someone’s mother, daughter, sister and friend. So please join me in the spreading the word about this cause in the blogging community.

Advertisers found blogging a very effective and powerful way of marketing their products. This time let us show and work hand-in-hand, men and women bloggers, to support and spread about this “meaningful and worthy task” and in a way help in providing free mammograms to women in need.

We attended a wedding ceremony last May 10 at Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan. My husband is one of the 12 godfathers of the couple. The bride’s groom previously worked in the company where’s my husband is working in the Administration Department. The photos show the Barasoain Church: the outside, the inside and their small garden. The church is not that big but the altar looks magnificent with its architecture and floral arrangement. There is an adjacent building beside the church for their office, administrative and religious works.

I can’t wait for May 24 to come. The family is set to have a family reunion in time for the celebration of our father’s 62^nd birthday to be held in Noah’s Leisure Park. The park is just near the household but some of the family members will come from Manila which can take them 1 ½ to 2 hours of travel to reach the destination.

We have some relatives who went already to the place and the feedback is great. The place is right at the foot of Sierra Madre mountains and overlooking Rizal’s numerous mountain ranges. The place is clean with great landscapes and cottages. There’s also fishing free of charge and the shower rooms are neat. The entrance fee is very affordable: 120 pesos for adult and 80 pesos for child. Likewise, the cottages ranges only from 300 pesos to 900 pesos and function halls are available also for parties, seminars or big groups of visitors. They also have karaoke and table tennis and other amenities to come. For those familiar with the well-known AVILON ZOO the park is just situated right before the zoo.

So if you are on the look for a place to go this summer this place is a must-to-see for you.
