TO CRAVE FOR

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Diageo for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Men and women today learned to appreciate the joy of mingling.  Apart from the friendship discovered and strengthened with get-togethers are the advantages of growing confidence, improved personality, widening knowledge...or the heightened quality as a person.  We share and we listen.  We learn and relearn.

A toast often follows for each experience.  A toast to life.  And served are different drinks to spark the gaiety; from rum, sherry, wine, brandy, gin, vodka, whiskey or mixed drinks down to non-alcoholic sparkles.  Most recent talk of town is the Zacapa premium rum.  Interesting history of this rum has been told and everyone agrees that it is indeed the best among world’s best tasting rums.

It all started in the town of Zacapa in eastern Guatemala year 1976 when they celebrated their centenary and gave birth this now craved for premium dark rum.  With the country’s fertile landscape, acidic soils and longer time blessed with the sun up and shining, quality sugar cane can be expected.  There’s no place better in the world than in Guatemala can one grow the best canes, and that is none other than in volcanic soil.  An unusual rum, most says, for being the only one that uses virgin sugar cane honey (concentrated first press of sugar cane) instead of the usual molasses which comes from the process of making sugar.  Natural resources really are to be thanked for even in the benefit it gives for the ageing process.  Two thousand three hundred meters (2,300m) above sea level, one can find the House Above the Clouds which is one of the highest ageing facilities in the world. Aside from the cool mountain air that slows down the ageing process, another contributory factor to the distinctive taste of Zacapa rum is the unique Sistema Solera.  This is a system acquired from the Spaniards way of ageing sherry 500 years ago.  All of Zacapa rum passes through casks that have housed American whiskey, Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximenez wines thereby producing the exceptional taste of Zacapa.

Truly an interesting information to share.  No wonder many joins the Zacapa Society.  Not only do they get exclusive details about this wonderful product but also be among the lucky ones to receive superb gifts and prices.  To be part of Zacapa Society, simply register your interest at http://bit.ly/pvKdC9.  Be with people who share the same interest as you do and start another group of the “mingling’s” we all enjoy most to add spice and sparkle to our oh-so-busy life.  Life is too short.  Enjoy the most of it with the craved for ZACAPA PREMIUM RUM.

BORACAY is one of the most prestige and popular beaches in the country...and it is already known worldwide! In fact it has been proclaimed the world's 4th best island in the world in the 16th annual "Best World Awards" as mentioned in an American travel and leisure magazine. Who wouldn't want to be amongst the thousands to enjoy that powdery white sand, the festivity that happens until the wee hours of the night, to be with the warm and beautiful people, and to enjoy the many delicacies of the tropical country.

And I for one craves to sit on that beach, see adn enjoy the wonderful creation here in far east. And if possible, also to those top 3 winning beaches in: 1st Santorini, Greece, 2nd Bali, Indonesia and 3rd in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

How about you?

Who wouldn't want to find the best to work with? I have been hoping to find someone to help me with my writings, and yes I found some, but there aren't a lot of options to choose from. I wish to find the candidate that possess all that I seek and not like one have this and another have that. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Imagine needing an employee to hire for your office work. And you found one who is great in handling your paper works but not really great with the reception. Will you hire two when you can hire one that will be good with both? Or for your house renovations, one can do everything you need from flooring, painting and even simple plumbing...will you pass the chance to hire that person and instead choose to hire 3 different persons who can do the job the same way and time as that one splendid worker?

Problem always lies in OPTIONS. If you have no other choice but what is in front of you, you tend to give in and hire. Be glad that now there is a handyman service where you can post what you are looking for and they will come to you thereby giving you lots of options. It's as simple as stating what the project is about, defining your preference, the need, the budget...and voila! You have applicants to choose from. And it's FREE to use. Just visit hire-a-pro.com and believe that I have met the craving for a great hire.

It's been a while since I last had my favorite rice gruel, "Halo-Halo" at one of the famous Chinese Restaurants in the country, Luk Yuen. After the shattering explosion in Makati, and the very restaurant I frequent included, I was not able to have the long craved for rice gruel.

It's not everyday that I crave for Chinese cuisine. There are times that I go for Italian with the mouth-watering pasta and pizza's, at times western meals of steak and potatoes, sometimes Japanese Katsudon and Tempura, or the usual Filipino Grilled dishes and coconut based viands. I favor variety. And Chinese is amongst those mentioned that I set my mind into having with their famous noodles as well as their dimsum and dumplings. But it's just in Luk Yuen that I eat these big bowl of very tasty and yummy rice gruel topped with flakes I am not really sure what, which I advice for you to try either the Halo-Halo or Bola-Bola flavors. It different. Good different. Love it as I do and 'm sure you'll keep coming back.
