Last friday, SM Executives poured some color onto their model icebergs, signaling the launch of SM Baliwag's Arctic HUE-niverse Campaign. This is SM's efforts to help educate and remind the masses about the on going global warming, along with some facts and ideas about our friends in the Arctic, the Polar Bears.
bobble v. If a piece of clothing or material bobbles, it develops small balls of threads on its surface. In Tagalog: Himulmol mga dears.
How old are you when you found out the english for the dreaded himulmol? Me? Today years old.
When I was young, my mom would always hand wash our clothes,
especially those we use for going out. She mentioned that washing
machines, hard scrubbing and the very detergents we use make the clothes
look older, faster by:
color fading
shape loss
roughness
yellowing if our favorite clothes are white and the worst of
them all
Our usual Maynilad Bill is at 3,000 Php. We are a household of 10, but something weird happened starting a couple of years ago, ending with our monthly Maynilad water bill for March 2018 blowing up to 12,000 Php. This is outrageous because we are just a residential place WITHOUT any pool. We even checked if there are leaks around the house (and none were found).
This is the story of how my husband and I finally solved the problems that arose with our complaint to Maynilad. Included here are things to do and where to go when the situation gets dire. I hope it will help you too.
If you've been wanting to start eating healthy but don't know where to start, check out Chi Em Gai! Or maybe you're craving for that authentic Vietnamese Pho? They're sure to fix your cravings in no time!
Ambiance At Chi Em Gai
Chi Em Gai is located at Eton Centris Walk, near Lazer area and beside Assi mart. The place is actually owned by a Vietnamese national so you're sure that the dishes they serve here are authentic as can get. The place itself is really cozy and comfy with all the greens and browns that's going for a light and fresh look to the eyes- much like their dishes!
Life can be tough, cruel and unfair. Having someone to share all that and help you overcome the cruelty for a lifetime is a true treasure. My childhood was never all rainbows, as the rains left me scars that I still carry to this day. I never thought though that I would find someone who can see through all the scars and lift me to the skies to see my potential and let me flourish.
But 9 years and counting into the contract we entered for a lifetime, I can definitely say that my partner has seen all and been all for me. He's become a best friend, a lover and definitely my rock in times I find myself crumbling down.
Kaakbay with Sun Life
Sun Life recently launched a deeply personal campaign with celebrity stars Enchong Dee, Matteo Guldicelli, Charo Santos Concio, and Sunlife's own Ambassador Piolo Pascual with his son Inigo.
Sun Life definitely nailed the meaning of Lifetime Partner as someone who will help them shine to their full potential.
Said campaign is aptly named "Kaakbay", centered around a set of videos showing how their lives were made brighter with the help of their own lifetime partners. These are the people who believed, supported and inspired our celebrity stars. For Piolo and Inigo's case, I would give a teaser and say that they're pulling each other up.
Pop Studio Cosmetics was launched last month with a concert by its creator and Shopee's newest brand ambassador, Ms. Sarah Geronimo. I got here 3 shades from the Chorus 1 set that I will be reviewing for you.

An Immersive Experience with Aquos 8K LED TV

St. Joseph Parish or Bamboo Organ Church here in Las Pinas is quite known for its rich history. It is known to house the grand, well restored bamboo organ made in 1824 by Father Diego Cera. And said organ still plays to this day.
But I'll be talking more about Momento Coffee Bar, the new cafe that's sitting in front of said church.
Momento Coffee Bar
I was really excited when I saw this one brewing as I walked on the street. And when they opened at first, all they had was coffee. But then I guess they started to expand and now they have milk tea, coffee of different kinds and pastries.While I am sad that they don't support local yet, they have arabica beans from india, I think?
I'll admit, I'm quite okay with the health of my family and mine, but with today's inflation, we can't really get regular medical check ups. And those times that we had to rush our kids to the hospital, we had less than what we need to pay for the medical bills.
Most pinoys are in this predicament of being in an overall good state of health but are unprepared for medical needs if emergencies arise.
The PhilCare Wellness Index
PhilCare led a research on the state of health in the Philippines, with factors based on the studies of other first world countries. These factors are Physical, Nutritional, Madical, Lifestyle and ppsychological. They did however, add in a very important factor that has a big pull on the state of our health- Finance.
Weather you are a breadwinner of your family or you're the mom who always want to give the best for your kiddos and partner, you know it is impossible to give something that is not within you. Oftentimes though, we tend to neglect our selves because we always give so much for our respective families. What I've learned with almost 9 years of parenting though, is that:
Health Equates to Happiness for the family
While I did receive a wellness package from Watsons Philippines a couple of weeks ago, I've already been frequenting their stores for my family's daily health needs like Celin with Zinc Multivitamins, Propan, my personal stash of Berocca and other first aide kit essentials like alcohol and Betadine to name a few.
Watsons definitely has most of what I need, especially in an emergency situation in the middle of the night. And they also have their own beauty range, Naturals which comprises of organic shampoos, conditioners, teas and make up!
I used the virgin coconut oil included in the kit as an emergency substitute to betadine, when I got really stupid and fell down the road, scraping my knees. Really handy and that VCO has a LOT of uses!
