Happy Easter from Kwent Ni Toto!  Christ is risen today!  Today is Easter Sunday and as usual we started our at an early time or should I say at dawn.  To some they celebrate this day with an activity called "Salubong" but for us the day is welcomed with songs and praises.  A thanksgiving that Christ is risen from the dead and He is alive.


Since the day will be very busy, we indulge our morning with a heavy breakfast from one of our favorite food chain which opens early.

If you're still in the blank mood, well, the lady is none other than the little Duday in the sitcom.  That little cutie is no longer little, she have grown now and taking the name Isabelle De Leon in the music industry.  Yup, she's into music and her genre is somewhat uncommon because she's more into rock just like Yeng Constantino but on a different league.

Just recently, some bloggers were able to interview Young JV or in real life Eduardo JV Arancillo Kapunan III about his entry for the MYX Music Awards. He's a softspoken guy but abrupt and good in answering the questions that the bloggers shoot at him.
 
Right now Young JV is into school and his juggling it with his career as a singer and an actor.  For all the ladies out there sorry for now because Young JV is into a dating status with someone whom he would not disclose.  Anyway who ever that girl is she's indeed lucky.

Kwento Ni Toto shares his adventure in SM City Manila 3 Day Sale as he roams around the entire mall together with the kids as the sale event welcomes shoppers on its last day. As expected customers are there to shop or window shop but it seems that the number of individuals who shops are much greater than those who window shop. Perhaps the main reason for this is that there are really plenty of items to buy that will make shoppers to contemplate whether to buy or not to buy, especially if the item is really on sale and far beyond the price of its usual cost.

Woohoo!  Sorry for a short notice but I'm sure you'll still enjoy this great news.  SM City Manila will be having another 3 Day Sale this coming weekend.  As usual selected items are at a bargain price which is 70% off.

Another great news is that shoppers will also get a chance to win 1 of 3 Devant 50" Smart 3D TV.  Isn't it a good way to enjoy shopping!
