So this year, for the last several weeks of getting qualifiers from different branches of Yoshinoya, they finally completed the list of individuals eager and hungry to take on the challenge and finish a number of gyudon. As Yoshinoya’s Gyudon Eating Contest marks its 4th year, many hungry Filipinos are in to test their mettle to gastronomic challenges. If Coney Island in New York, USA has the world-famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, then the Philippines definitely has Yoshinoya. And just like in the previous editions, the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest promises to be nothing short of excitement.

Keep calm and watch movies is a phrase that I dearly indulge within me as movies are my way of calming myself and my way of unwinding. Though I may not be inside the cinemas every day, movies are my haven for relaxation and distressing.

What movie made you fall in love with watching movies?

Tantatatan! And the winner of Kwento Ni Toto and Daddy Yashiro's Journal Boxfresh Shoes Giveaway is none other than.....

Humans can do impossible things with just the right food to eat and the right attitude to do it. There are foods that are power boosters for the body which gives energy to do what we want to achieve. I, Kwento Ni Toto who does a lot aside from blogging and being in an 8 to 5 duty in the office, takes time to have a break.  I need to take time off from the things I does and resting helps a lot in coping up with the what I does and eating nutritious food add up to boost that energy level to take more on the duties and tasks required for the day.

After the great battle of voices in The Voice of the Philippines adult edition, here comes another round of battles but this time from the young, powerful and unique voices from the little ones, the Kids.

Last night was the pilot episode of The Voice Kids on ABS-CBN.  This is the highly anticipated show where kids can make their dreams come true and the first kids shown was a power house.  I think the mentors will be having a hard time choosing the kids for them to coach.

The pilot episode started with great vocal supremacy that comes from the little ones and here is the first 3-chair turner, Jimlord "Jimboy" Garcia, a 12-year-old kid from Paniqui, Tarlac with his version of "Faithfully".



Returning coaches Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo, Rock Superstar Bamboo, and Broadway Diva Lea Salonga find the best voices of Filipino kids aged eight to 14. Like the other international versions of “The Voice Kids,” only three coaches will sit in the red swivel chairs and select the artists they want to mentor just by listening to the aspirant's singing voice in the Blind Auditions.

Okay, for those who are longing to have a new pair of shoes. This is your chance to have one. As I have mentioned before in my status in one of the social networking sites in which you can check out at www.facebook.com/yashirokuru, Kwento Ni Toto will be raffling off one pair of Boxfresh shoes. Yes it is a Boxfresh brand and as much as I wanted to wear the shoes I don't have a bigger feet to wear in it. The shoes is size 11, it is a Boxfresh Sparko Combo with Brown/Lt Brown color. So for those who loves brown low cut shoes this is great for you.

So, it finally come to an end where one lucky entry grabbed the Php10,000 Worth of Gold's Gym Gift Certificates.  She will be Php10,000 worth of GC sexier than before.  Perhaps after the sessions that she'll be having at Gold's Gym she'll be flaunting her sexiness soon.  Okay without anymore words here is the winner of our giveaway....

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.
