Get Healthy and WIN!

Posted: June 24th, 2011 | No Comments »

Hey guys, healthy living need not be booooorrrrriiiing.
Two contests for the young — ahem, that’s me —- and the not-so-very-young are ongoing on Facebook. Really, there are so many contests there, but these two got my attention.
For one, I’m into healthy lifestyle. Or I try my damned best to be. 
Two, these contests are encouraging us to channel our creative juices to be funny, quirky, amusing, nutty but with good intentions.  Whoa!!!
Anyway, if you’re all of the above…. Me, I’m batty all the time but lovable nevertheless — visit the Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass CAN fan page. Like that page before you send your entry.
The mechanics of the two contests are also found there.
1.       “Shake the Grass” video contest  –

3 winners will be announced on August 19.
How do you win?  3 categories such as Best Video, Most Liked and Most viewed.
Cool cool prizes for each category: […]

Hi guys, it’s traffic and it’s flooded everywhere!  Here are apps you can download and use with your Blackberry to get you through the streets of Manila

Motoring App Alert – Navigating through traffic with your BlackBerry

In this edition of AppAlert, we have compiled a list road safety and useful applications with relations to your car.

Boosting Your Girl Power With A!life

Posted: June 23rd, 2011 | No Comments »

Ladies, admit it.  I know you all feel more powerful now with your different careers and roles in life.  I started to feel powerful the moment I graduated college and passed the CPA board exam.  Instead of celebrating, my parents said “no more allowance, you need to get a job now.” @_@ I was like “but, but, but… I don’t have a job yet!”  Well I guess, it forced me to get a job pronto!
That was scary for me at that time.  I was panicking and I was like, no more malls? no more shopping? no more food trips? Unless I get a job.  It was pretty scary but indeed it was still very empowering!
I know a lot of you girls (and even guys) can relate to this.  Doesn’t it feel great to make money on your own and to take care of yourself independently for the first time? I […]

Tanduay Ice “Masarap Ang Bawal” TVC

Posted: June 22nd, 2011 | No Comments »

Tanduay Ice is slowly gaining popularity among local drinkers. I remember attending a couple of parties in the past month where it was the choice of spirit among the crowd. I think one reason for this is the product’s exposure through the new Tanduay Ice “Masarap ang Bawal” television commercial. Here’s that TVC below as […]

“Coffee was not a lifestyle yet, it was just a product. There were not a lot of coffee shops. There were no foreign brands in the market.” Those were the words of Steve Benitez, Founder and CEO of Bo’s Coffee, as he reminisces back to June 28, 1996, when the very first Bo’s Coffee opened […]

Watching Green Lantern with Special Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Posted: June 21st, 2011 | No Comments »

Just got back from watching Green Lantern

Geek mode.. and yes, recently after my eye infection thingy, my vision got blurry and had to put on glasses all the time.  🙁
I have been catching up on the comic world lately and I actually just saw the Green Lantern animated movie and I was so excited to watch the live-action film with Ryan Reynolds and my favorite Gossip Girl Blake Lively <3 they’re both so hot!
I had to miss Pole practice for this, but I also couldn’t miss watching it with Krispy Kreme and other blogger friends!  They have a new flavor that’s out only for this season of Green Lantern I remembered they also had a special flavor before with Green Hornet.  Check it out coz it will only be available ’til July 10.  I love that it doesn’t taste too sweet.  It’s just the right amount […]

One of my fond memories of Davao is the beautiful Island of Samal. It had a small beach resort: Paradise Island Beach resort. We still had to ride a boat going to the Island but it wasn’t too far. When we got there I got sight of the cute beach front. It wasn’t really big […]

Ranchero

If I could associate one word with Ranchero it’s definitely Ribs. The Ribs in this restaurant is absolutely delicious! You can’t go wrong with Ranchero ribs with its soft texture and it’s well balanced taste. I don’t like ribs that don’t taste like ribs at all. The ribs in Ranchero is wonderful, I didn’t even […]

My Own FitFlops!

Posted: June 19th, 2011 | No Comments »

Earlier, I blogged about how Pole Dancing has helped me get over Quarter Life Crisis. I will do whatever it takes to keep dancing from now on   There are many things you I need to improve with my body for a long lasting pole career and that would have to be working on my flexibility, getting stronger and more toned legs so that I can grip the pole better.  These things I have to work on will surely give me more health benifits as well! 
I noticed the teachers in our Pole Class better known as the Polecats wear these FitFlops… I’ve heard a great deal about them helping people avoid back aches and toning your legs… A gym within a shoe (or sandals)
And so I bought my very own pair!!! WEEE EXCITED!!!

FitFlop footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk […]
