The Tour of Hope 2011: Going the Xtra Mile against Cervical Cancer

I am so touched by the answer of Jeman Villanueva in this video - "I want to protect my family and friends because I can't afford to loose them".

The organization has held successful seminars and projects with the help of its partner organizations and companies. One of its more prominent events is the biking event, The Tour of Hope (TTOH). The tour was introduced in the Philippines in 2008 through the collaboration of GlaxoSmithKline Philippines and the UP Cancer Institute Foundation's Cervical Cancer Prevention (CECAP) network program in strategic partnership with Team David's Salon, the first all woman sports team in the country. Since then, the Tour of Hope has become the largest anti-cervical cancer biking tour in the Philippines and has attracted varied supporters thru the years -- both from public and private sectors. TTOH has become Bravehearts' annual fund raising event and an opportunity to conduct lectures for cervical cancer prevention programs in the different municipalities/cities the tour passes. Just last year, TTOH was able to raise Php750, 000, and the fund was donated to CECAP where more than 200 cervical cancer vaccination was conducted for free to community health workers in selected provinces across the Philippines.

I was so lucky when I was able to meet Cebu's Murielle Adrienne Orais during the Miss Earth Philippines candidates visit at The Skin Specialist. Her beauty was so awesome and she's fun to be with. In fact she let me add her in Facebook so that I can tag her photos.

Justin Bieber's PeTA Ad

[caption id="attachment_1636" align="alignleft" width="227" caption="Justin Bieber for PeTA"][/caption]JUSTIN BIEBER PROMOTES POUND PUPS IN SECOND PETA AD
Pop Sensation Urges Fans Always to Adopt From an Animal Shelter: 'Animals Can Make U Smile'

Justin Bieber's recent hit single "U Smile" not only has his legions of fans smiling but also has homeless dogs wagging their tails and homeless cats purring. That's because the pop music phenom—whose concert tour hits Manila on May 10—is the star of a new PETA ad that promotes adoptions from animal shelters. The ad was shot by renowned celebrity photographer Cliff Watts.

"It's really important that people adopt," said Bieber. "I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog who has been abandoned or doesn't have a home."

Buying an animal from a pet store or a breeder robs a homeless animal of his or her chance at finding a good home. The less fortunate never even make it to a safe haven; they are left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to abuse by cruel people or succumb to starvation, disease, or injuries.

Bieber's numerous awards include the American Music Awards' Artist of the Year, and he recently released an acoustic version of his breakthrough album called My World Acoustic. He joins a growing list of celebrities—including Lea Michele, Kellan Lutz, Yasmien Kurdi, Pink, Maggie Q, Borgy Manotoc,—who have teamed up with PETA to help animals.

Be your most delicious with Tomato eau de toilette

 

EXUDE PURE DELICIOUSNESS when you wear the scrumptious new eau de toilette from Tomato. The special, scene-stealing scents are the latest addition to the Tomato collection of clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. The fragrances will be launched at its branch store in Trinoma on May 20th, 6PM.

The new Tomato fragrances, “Oohlalicious” and “Vavalicious”, are especially blended to complement your Tomato fashion wear and accessories. Oohlalicious and Vavalicious are here to let you be delicious, not just look like it.

Oohlalicious: Subtly yummy
Oohlalicious lets you subtly unleash your inner foxiness. Wear Oohlalicious and leave a trail of unspoken desires and hearts on the verge of breaking simply by walking across the room—no need for obvious gestures.

Just the barest glance at your admirers is enough: your casual smile, tucking a lock of hair behind your ear—it’s your quiet confidence and secret yumminess that will mesmerize them. Oohlalicious will keep them wondering why you’re so unforgettable despite your laid-back, composed and serene exterior.

Oohlalicious opens with fresh and mouth-watering fruity notes; blended with a very feminine heart note composed of jasmine, rose and light musk, trailed by sweet woodsy endnotes.

Oohlalicious is stored in a simple, transparent round flacon adorned with silver heart charms and engraved with the statement “Smell delicious. Be Delicious.”

Sandra Seifert shares, “Oohlalicious is perfect for Tomato Women who are young, fun, and sexy. It gives a boost of positivity so you’d feel good and confident about yourself.”

Vavalicious: modern, chic, spicy
Vavalicious, on the other hand, is about elegant, chic modernity and sophistication—with a touch of spiciness that hints at some naughty fun in store. It is for women who express their innate elegance and class—but without coming off as too dainty and too refined to the point of boredom.

Wear Vavalicious and be the ultimate prize catch: a woman of class and sophisticated charm but with an undercurrent of thrill, edgy excitement and spice brimming just below the surface.

Vavalicious is a modern and chic iris with the warm woodsy and spicy aromas with a subtle dairy feel.

Designed for modern and elegant Tomato Women, Vavalicious is stored in a heart shaped bottle topped with a sophisticated angled cap ornamented with gold heart charms.

“Vavalicious is something that could ‘spice up’ your life. Apply it on your wrist or neck is like adding a little fun in you,” she relates.

Oohlalicious and Vavalicious will be available in all Tomato branches and kiosks nationwide for only P300 per bottle, starting on the day of their launch.
