So last week my whole family went to Ninja Academy for a day of fun. My daughter and son saw a few videos in youtube and facebook of these guys doing extreme stunts and parkour or freerunning (which are different sides of the coin by the way), and of course, as I saw their interest, I know there is only one 'safe' place that my chikitings can try this out- Ninja Academy.



From my last lessons here, Roby of Ninja Academy explained to us that Parkour is really just normal body movement- running, jumping climbing, hence anyone can do it. For my first impressions on Parkour and Ninja Academy click here.



EVEN KIDS. After all, it is what they do. IF they are not glued to a tablet/iPad of some sort that is. hehehe...

So lately we've seen the rush with Netflix and iFlix, all of which feature great internet series, yes, but what about those who are into Asian Novelas and Anime? What about those who want to watch live streaming of Fight Sports but can't do so in the comforts of their own home? Well ladies and gents, get to enjoy your favorite Asian series on the go with your 'Tribe'. :D



The Tribe app is the latest over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services to hit our shores with a great roster of content that caters to fandoms of different Asian genres.

They are currently in partnership with Globe Telecom, and monthly subscription is really affordable!  Tribe offers a combination of live and on-demand content in the following genres, Korean entertainment, Anime, e-Sports, fight sports, and Asian thrillers.

I have been an avid fan of the hit american series America's Next Top Model. It was what paved my way to blogging, as I was an aspiring model, but got too many rejections cause of my height. I witnessed an episode in season 22 of said series wherein Oppo Phones were used by the models because their selfies were 'on fleek'. It was also the first season wherein models were allowed mobile phones in the house.

Fast forward to 2017, and season 2 of Philippines Next Top Model finally comes to our shores. But that wasn't the only announcement happening in City of Dreams last February 18th. Oppo, the awesome mobile technology brand that gave the spanking and smizing selfies to ANTM, is announced to be a major sponsor in the said Season 2 of Philippines Next Top Model (PNTM), to be aired in the Kapatid Netowrk, TV5.

Summer is coming. Unlike our beloved series Game of Thrones, we'll be looking out for hot weather, beach time, shorts, sandals, sundresses--and lots of it. The question is, are you ready?





Not to worry though, cause Nailaholics has your back! The city’s top urban nail and pampering destination in the country, is everyone’s go-to destination for the season. With that in mind, here’s a run-down of things-to-do to keep your skin, tips, and toes summer ready.

Like most ladies, you’re probably acquainted with the idea of waxing. What's more, you probably also think that the process doesn’t sound very appealing.

Still, for most women out there, waxing seems to be an easy part of their grooming routine; and they will book a session, show up for their appointment, go through the whole (seemingly) painful procedure, and emerge smooth and hair-free, without batting an eyelid.



Why do they go through it all? Aside from the obvious pros, one having amazingly smooth skin in the continuing process, waxing is not as excruciating as one might assume. It’s all a matter of choosing the right waxing salon to go to.

So I was out and about south of Manila with FoodPanda for the #GoodFoodTour a couple of days before the PIHABF, and I was introduced to the latest specials that Bizu Patisserie and Papermoon Cafe had for February. The best part of all this though is me trying my hand at catching flying icecream at Coldstone Creamery.

Food Panda PH is this mobile app/delivery service that helps list food and restaurants available in your location. They offer a delivery fee of 59Php for a minimum of 200Php order. Check them out at https://www.foodpanda.ph/ :D



Bizu served us up some incredible cakes and macaroons.



This is their Fresh Strawberry Chiboust. It's basically your classic Cheeseecake topped with strawberries and raspberry coulis. A big one costs for 1050Php. And it tastes like heaven, especially for Cheesecake Lovers like myself. :D

No sleep and on the road since 12 am of February 9th, all just to catch the awesomeness that is the 21st Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. It was all worth it though. The joy and overwhelming sense of awe and amazement at what was unfolding before me was enough, but to get to capture these moments on my iPhone and camera are just priceless.

So I just came home from an awesome day at the 21st Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta at Clark Pampanga, and just this morning my husband showed me the latest Kwentong Jolibee commercial that surely made me cry. Tagos sa buto naman kasi talaga ang series nila na yun, lalo na yung The Vow. After watching said video, I was crying for around 10 minutes. For real.

Fast forward to lunchtime, I am now crying tears of joy while looking at my Facebook Timeline, cause I saw some of the funniest reactions and memes that the pinoy community made for this Valentine Treat. Here are my top hits:

It's the Love month now and what better way to show your loved ones (hindi lang si special someone.. kahit sina mommy, daddy at barkada) you do care by bonding with them?



The 21st Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is happening tomorrow until the 12th, and here are some reasons why YOU and your FAMILY and FRIENDS should get your tickets now and travel up north to Pampanga!

I LOVE using alcohol as sanitizers. Because I'm really sure that 99.9% of those pesky microbugs, bacteria and viruses are gone when I use them.



Now, you may think that alcohol is pretty drying and strong if it's that great at killing pesky microbugs and viruses, but there is a certain brand of rubbing alcohol that loves your skin back. And Me? I love it to bits because it's not drying!



Alcoplus has Active Germ Defense that does just that. Apart from its lab tested superb killing action against germs, bacteria, and viruses, Alcoplus has the plus factor advantage with its 3 added actives-- Tea Tree Oil, Moisturizer, and Vitamin E. Smells much like a clean moisturizer. :D

As for the interesting ways to use alcohol... Here's how I use them:

A great month- ender for January happened at Greenbelt 1 in Makati as actors and actress Rovilson Fernandez, Marc Nelson and Iza Calzado team up for a fun filled afternoon of fundraising with WWF to help out in conserving Mother Nature.
