April 30, just right before the Labor Day weekend, Forever 21 in SM City Clark, Pampanga opens its door to fashionistas, to stylists, to trend setter in the north and to Forever 21 clothing fanatics.  Now there will be more reason to dress up, get in style, get funky and chic this summer, Kwento Ni Toto shares.

It always feels great to look back to where you came from and to what you have been through.  The hurdles and mazes of life that made you strong in facing life, those times that you almost give up and the hardships that you endure just to came out successful.  That's what makes success an important event to celebrate.

I remember my life as a student before.  How I tighten my belt just to cope up with the expenses and projects in school.  I remember budgeting Php50 a day going to school.  Dividing it for lunch, AM and PM snacks, and jeepney fare from Quezon City to Sta. Mesa.  It was indeed a struggle but I was able to made it and graduated from college.  It's not that much of a story but it was my life back in college.

That story is not much compared to the inspiring story of Coco Martin on how a simple waiter of Max's Restaurant become a well-known celebrity and the best of it is the endorser of the establishment where he once worked with.  From being a waiter at Max's Restaurant in 2000-2001 and now Coco Martin is one of the most respected actors in the country.

If you haven't seen the Max's TV commercial Kwento Ni Toto invites you to watch it here and take a peek into the TV commercial that depict Coco's journey to success. If you have any #SarapNgSuccess story and pictures depicting your own story, you can share it by completing the sentence "Successful ang araw ko dahil __________."
"Successful ang araw ko dahil nandyan ang pamilya ko na sumusuporta sa 'kin" (My day is successful because my family are there to support me.)

If you're a lover of Korean Cuisines and knows about Chef's Noodle, then you might want to know what's new with this Korean Restaurant.  Kwento Ni Toto is here to share what transpired a few days ago in one of the branches of Chef's Noodle and specifically at their Robinson Magnolia Branch.  The newest and freshest new with them is that they got a new celebrity endorser.  I'm very much sure that the ladies will be thrilled about him being the endorser of the said restaurant.

For all the boxing fans out there, Kwento Ni Toto shares an opinion and a prediction on today's boxing event, as Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley goes inside the ring once again to prove who's the strongest, smartest, and King of the boxing ring.

This rematch will prove two sides of the previous match, first is that Bradley owned the first match and the second one is that Pacquiao still got the fire in him.

Kwento Ni Toto's opinion and prediction will only be based on the facts gathered and of course with some few gut feel in today's event. So, here goes the opinions first!

Last week Kwento Ni Toto experienced another great outdoor adventure. Another first mark in Kwento Ni Toto's experience.

If you're one of the many strong-willed person and willing to experience a different kind of thrill and action, then you'll probably need to be on this place. As Ayala Land Inc and in partnership with Leonio Land build an awesome getaway this summer. Covering the vast terrain in Porac, Pampanga redefines outdoor fun and experience. Sandbox the new gateway to a great getaway is located in the new Alviera township development.

Kwento Ni Toto remembers the very first time to be with some of the Earth's beautiful ladies was during the opening of the expressway in the north. It was great seeing such beauties. This time or should we say this year, these beautiful candidates of Miss Philippines Earth 2014 takes over SM Supermarket Megamall and the Mega A Event Center to show everyone just what “beauty for a cause” is all about. More than beauty and brains, delegates of the Miss Philippines Earth have green advocacies that separate them from the rest of the pageant world. So in other words they are beauties with a cause.

Kwento Ni Toto shares about the unsung heroes of Philippine agriculture are getting due recognition with the program TOFARM or the The Outstanding Farmers of the Philippines Search and Awards as they launched last year, November 2013, a contest that depicts or lionizes farmers, fisherfold and other nurturers of the soil.

Summer is here already! Are you sexy or buff enough to show off that bods of yours? Well if not, here's your chance to invest on your body and make it happen. Kwento Ni Toto, Daddy Yahiro's Journal and MAG of My Life teamed up to giveaway Php10,000 worth of Gift Certificate from UNO Magazine and Gold's Gym.

Yes you read it right! It's a whooping Php10K worth of GC. We've never done so big as this one so join our giveaway and be the lucky winner.

A good new for frequent goers of Yoshinoya in SM Mall Of Asia as Kwento Ni Toto shares that their newly renovated store opens its gates once again for customers.  Yes, if you missed the gyudon then perhaps it's time to go back and fill that tummy with flavorful Yoshinoya dishes.   Their store is now bigger and wider plus the interior designs are great.  More vibrant orange-colored designs and furniture to complement the official color of Yoshinoya.  They'll be catering more foodie lover from the south and from metro.

In my opinion Mr. Timothy James G. Yang is well versed with the acceptance of Filipino palate to Japanese cuisines, that is why he prefer to be on the fore front in serving the customers and making sure that everyone met the standard of service.
