Live Life! Love Life!

So here is my take to this cultural blog exchange. This is cute, actually, and I like it. So what do I foresee in this - an opportunity to promote our local Philippine products that don't normally get's noticed to the international market. Perhaps blogger could really tell the world that they make a difference and I hope this will make difference - this cultural exchange through blogs. So what I am up to - I can exchange products from the versatile coconut, famously and alternatively known as the tree of life; with either, a virgin coconut oil or coco vodka.
