Living Positively

A few days ago Sai told me about being a blogger ambassador for Live Positively. Honestly I have no idea what was that all about. And I didn't expected too much about it. I thought it will going to be next year like a new year's resolution. But it happened , no day but today ! And upon hearing the word Live Positively, I felt something, something which is more than being a tag line, it sounded like a message for me that I should start committing and encourage the people as well. To live positively  is to have an active healthy lifestyle. And we can all do that by engaging in physical fitness. Because when we are fit, we will all feel and look good. Stay fit everyone and live positively.

what does vegetarianism means

More than anything vegetarianism is a healthier option. And this option is the best thing you can do for the animals, yourself and mother earth. It does not end by eating vegetables but it extends to your lifestyle. It involves fitness , discipline, hygiene , principles and positive attitude.

I read this from the book The Vegetarian Manifesto :

Question : What is the one word you would describe a vegetarian ?

Replies : " Compassionate , Vegs feel reverence for all beings. Animals have feelings too.

" Smart. We are the future. It's smart to choose a diet that keeps us, and our planet, healthy. "

" Different. Although there are a lot more veggie eaters now than when I first started , we are still different from the majority ! "

"Healthy. It becomes a lifestyle . You're vegetarian eventually, maybe after a few years , you move towards veganism . The longer you do it , the healthier you feel and the more you love it. "

"Maybe Compassionate (But I know all vegans aren't exactly compassionate) or dedicated , aware or empathetic, too.Animals are being mistreated , the environment is being abused, and people are getting fatter. Now that I am aware of these problems , I do my share in the solution by choosing vegetarianism. "

"Radical. Because our society embraces a "bigger is better" philosophy and is willing to use any resource available, including animals, for economic gain , it's radical to choose vegetarianism. vegs, in essence ask society to slow down , take a step back , and look at the harm they are causing!"

And here is my answer :

Positive. Choosing to live an active and healthier lifestyle is to live positively. It is a great way to promote physical fitness, because when we're fit we feel and look better . Stay Fit and live positively !

Anne Curtis Yoga



If Anne Curtis can do Yoga.......

........ I also can !

Yoga is not about exercise , it is a lifestyle that involves meditation, discipline, self awareness and principles. There's a deeper meaning when you say Yoga, nowadays the word yoga has been identified as an exercise. The yoga of exercise is called Hatha Yoga and that I think most people do not know.

I also like veggie bread !

Aside from being the star of all media and being an active mom of two kids, there is something that makes the day of Kris Aquino. Being busy did not stopped her from having an active healthy lifestyle. She would always make sure that she would do cardiovascular activity such as treadmill running. If she has call time like 9 in the morning she would wake up at 6 am just to do her habit which she loves doing for physical fitness. She does exercise 3 x a week so that she will not become fat after her co stars.

More than being fit, she loves eating the Goldilocks veggie bread. And that makes the day of a Kris Aquino. Get to know more about her health and her co endorser Dingdong Dantes as well on the video :

Forever Young

Tips to become forever young :

  • go vegetarian

  • use OLAY

  • pray to Jesus


Forever Olay : Olay Philippines celebrates Passion, Innovation and Enduring Youth

No.1 anti-ageing brand Olay Philippines recently celebrated its many years of helping Filipinas love the skin they’re in at the “Forever Olay” event held at the Manila Peninsula.

The elegant luncheon gave guests a more intimate look at the iconic skin care brand - starting with the love story from where it sprung, the innovation that helped it grow, and the passion it evoked from women all over the world, including Filipinas, who fell in love again with their youthful skin through Olay. And their love for Olay remains unchanged through the years like their youthful skin despite the many changes in their lives.

Born of Love and Listening

The story of Olay began in the early 1950s when a South African chemist Graham Wulff envisioned creating the perfect cream that women like his wife Dinah (and her skin) could truly love. At that time, women had to use thick and greasy skin creams packed in shoe-polish style tins – a far cry from what women truly wanted in their vanity cases or on their faces.

Learning all this from listening to his wife, Graham Wulff set about creating a new facial moisturizer that could be quickly absorbed into the skin, providing hydration and protection, “just like the fluids in young skin.”

And through trial and error, husband and wife fine-tuned everything from the absorption to the texture to the delicate pink shade and fragrance. Thus the legendary Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid was born.

And just as Olay was born out of listening so was Olay Total Effects which was conceived from listening to over 6,000 women across the globe. An extensive survey discovered all these women were concerned about similar signs of ageing, namely fine lines and wrinkles, blotches and age spots, rough skin texture, uneven skin tone, skin dryness, skin surface dullness / loss of radiance and enlarged pores.

Rising up to the challenge of providing an all-in-one solution to address all these issues, Olay created Total Effects, which was designed to help fight seven signs of skin ageing with a single product. The iconic black-and-gold bottle was first launched in the South East Asia region in 2000, entered the Philippines in 2006, and later went on to provide an extensive skincare line-up that would form the flagship boutique of Olay.

Growing through Continued Innovation

The secret behind Total Effects’ enduring success is VitaNiacin, its unique complex of powerful anti-ageing ingredients comprising Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), anti-oxidants (Vitamins E and C) and Panthenol (Vitamin B5), which provide multiple anti-ageing benefits to help skin regain its radiant, youthful glow and fortify itself against seven signs of skin ageing.

Thanks to its innovative technology, Total Effects has touched the lives of millions of women, who continue to be loyal to the brand through the years as it delivers on its promise of giving them younger-looking skin even as the years go by.

Changing Lives, Unchanging Skin - Evoking Stories of Passion

Proof that Olay Total Effects has lived up to its promise are the brand ambassadors that first launched the brand in 2006 – Miriam Quiambao, Daphne Oseña-Paez, Ines Delgado-Prieto and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo.

From 1st runner-up in Miss Universe to a thriving show biz career and her own business, Miriam Quiambao is celebrating all the changes in her life.

“This year, I have a role in a mini-series in Channel 5, the Broken Hearts Club. It’s a dramatic comedy. I’m also coming out with an indie film this November with Pen Medina,” shared Miriam.

“I’m even part of Project Lotus, a regional talent search for the next Pan-Asian girl band that’s going to be aired on AXN next year. I was the only judge chosen from the Philippines and they’re choosing talents from Philippines, Korea, Japan, China and India.”

But one thing she’s happy that hasn’t changed is how young her skin looks.

“My friends from before like in Unang Hirit, who have seen my since the beginning of my career say that parang wala akong pinagbago! When I hear compliments like that, it just proves that what I’ve been using has been working!” she remarked.

Further proof that she continues to look even younger than most women her age, and even those 10 years younger than her, came from the Olay VISIA machine, a digital skin imaging tool that can compare the quality and signs of ageing on a woman’s skin versus those of other women her age, or women even younger than her.

When she found she was going to take the VISIA test, Miriam described that she was at first apprehensive. “It’s the moment of truth!” she exclaimed. Miriam’s facial analysis was done at Four Seasons Hotel, in Jakarta, last June.

The results of her spots and wrinkles showed that Miriam actually looked younger than 9 out of 10 women in their twenties*. “When I found out how high I scored, I was so happy to know that my decision to keep using Olay has been proven right. One of my best decisions!” she said.

Meanwhile, TV host Daphne Oseña-Paez has also had a host of changes come into her life in the past four years – another daughter, becoming a UNICEF ambassador for children and expanding her line of linens and furniture called Daphne.

“My work in Urban Zone really made me want to expose design to a larger audience so I started a number of home lines, which is represented by my brand Daphne,” she shared.

The Daphne line include luxurious bed linens at the fraction of the cost. Hand crafted furniture which she described as having a “provincial chic, shabby chic kind of vibe” to be sold in Rustan’s and a lighting brand in SM.

Also in line with her commitment to being a hands-on mom is her work with UNICEF as a Special Advocate for Children.

“It’s a national position focusing on major goals under the Millennium Development Goals – number one is to reduce the number of maternal deaths, and number two, to promote breastfeeding which is directly linked to reducing the number of infant deaths,” she explained.

“We’re starting to work with different communities – for example, Saranggani, Rizal province, Laguna province - working with mothers to ensure that they breastfeed exclusively for at least six months because it’s known to reduce the risk of deaths and illnesses of children so I’m very honored to be the one chosen to do that.”

But what she loves about Olay is how it is also able to multi-task – just as she does – to keep her looking youthful through the years.

“I like that it addresses all my concerns in one bottle,” said Daphne. “It makes me skip many steps – as you know I’m a busy woman, I run my own show, I’m raising my three children, I’m hands-on at home and I’m starting a few businesses. Time is very important to me. So something like Olay Total Effects that addresses seven signs of skin ageing… it really makes life so much easier!”

Just as Olay is celebrating its 10th year anniversary in the region, Ines Delgado-Prieto, an Olay Ambassador during the 2006 launch, is herself celebrating a 10th anniversary – that of her store, the Itsie-Bitsie Boutique.

“The boutique has really developed a devoted following of clients who look for a highly edited collection of sought after fashion brands sourced from all over the world throughout the fashion year. I manage all the facets of the business from the buying to the operations management, marketing, etc. Harpers Bazaar Singapore rated Itsie-Bitsie Boutique as "the opium den of the hopelessly fashionable," she shared proudly.

Ines’ other focus is her family, which has likewise grown in the past four years as she gave birth to her first child in January 2007 and then to her second child, Santiago, just this July.

Yet even when she had gone from a single woman to a mom of two in the past four years, Ines she still remains as youthful looking as ever with Olay.

“Since I don't use make up much Olay Total Effects has been a very good daily facial moisturizer. It has kept the skin on my face smooth and blemish free. It's very affordable and it's a 7-in-1 anti ageing moisturizer with SPF. I don't have to use many different creams and products for my face!” Ines said.

Meanwhile, Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, has once again proven her considerable acting talent by winning the Best Actress in a Musical Award by Philstage Awards for the Performing Arts for her role as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. Now she is all ready for a new challenge - becoming the Associate Artistic Director of the Repertory Philippines next year.

Yet even as she moves on to even bigger roles in her life, whether in front or behind the stage, Menchu is still sticking with Olay Total Effects – just as her mom did!

“I grew up seeing Olay in our house – my mother always used it and swore by it. Back then it was in a bottle with a black cap, it was pink. Olay has come a long way since – for me, I use Olay Total Effects everyday. I am 47 years old but Olay has really worked for me as though it really slows down the ageing process. There was a time my skin was looking so dull because of the make-up I need to put on for a
show but Olay really brought back some life to my skin. I can’t go by one day without using it,” said Menchu.

So for these four timeless women and for many Filipina women, though their lives may have changed, their skin remains as youthful as ever as they remain “Forever Olay”.

What's wrong with eating chickens ?

This is a flashback :



One day with my non vegetarian girlfriend, Dr. Tam's Vegan Haus was the nearest veg rests that I know when we were at that location and so we went there. And that day was also our monthsary and we were in Pasig.
The food was really great and it was all delicious , the aura of that place was calm and relaxing, except for the lesbian personnel who was very annoying.

Anyway the food was great except that my girlfriend didn't liked it. As much as I enjoyed the food we ordered, my girlfriend can't take it, she craves for chicken. Just like every time I'm in the mood for eating, she will grab for a chicken.

Reasons why it's wrong to eat chicken :

  • not safe to eat especially if it's factory farm chickens

  • most tortured animal in terms of fast food business are chickens

  • according to the Vegetarian Starter Kit, almost all birds raised for food in the U.S. are factory farmed

  • According to the Vegetarian Starter Kit, not just many chickens suffer from chronic respiratory diseases, weakened immune systems, and bronchitis but they are genetically manipulated and dosed with antibiotics to make them grow so large and quick that they become crippled under their own weight.

  • According to a report by the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 99 percent of chicken carcasses are contaminated with E. coli bacteria by the time they reach the market.

  • chickens are major source of bird's flu

Real Leaf reveals What Green Tea Could Be

Is your green tea made of real tea and real honey?
This was the challenge Real Leaf Green Tea posed before everyone when it held The Perfect Pair, a one-of-a-kind “green carpet screening” held last September 25, 2010 at Greenbelt 3 Cinema Lobby in Makati City. As the curtains rolled up, the mini-movie goers witnessed and tasted for themselves how Real Leaf puts a refreshing spin to our typical green tea!

“It’s been our pride to innovate and surpass the expectations of our discerning consumers. We know that their needs are continually evolving that’s why we keep things fresh and exciting. Real Leaf is a product of this constant effort to elevate standards and give them what they deserve. And now, its deliciously reviving* formula is out there! Real Leaf is made with Real Tea and Real Honey. It’s a combination unlike any other and this is What Green Tea Could Be,” said Sharon Tanganco, Hydration and Tea Category Director of Coca-Cola Philippines.

Yes, Real Leaf is not the average green tea drink! It deliciously blends all the refreshing benefits of green tea with the natural goodness honey in one great-tasting beverage made even more luscious by infusing fruit flavors. All these make up for the unique fusion that helps revive both mind and body. Not to mention that its brewing process follows only world-class standards based on years of experience and expertise of The Coca-Cola System, meaning optimum freshness, quality and aroma of green tea leaves are retained.

Yet, this grand revelation was not the only surprise the special day had in store. Soon as guests packed the venue, host Andrei Felix opened up the high-spirited day with a few teasers about the “perfect pair” they will be discovering that day. The moment the lights went off, viewers get a hold of today’s “it” love team and now Real Leaf ambassadors Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales.
Two of the today’s most talented young stars, Enchong and Erich are known individually as powerful actors and well-admired endorsers. Together, they captivate countless fans with their vibrant spirits, dynamic characters and refreshing chemistry. All these and their no-compromise attitude when it comes to life choices make them the perfect pair to represent Real Leaf Green Tea.
“I’m so thrilled that Erich and I are joining forces to let everyone experience the kind of refreshment only Real Leaf gives. It’s packed with theanine, an amino acid that is naturally found in tea plants which can help boost focus and alertness. For me, that makes it the perfect pick-me-up drink; the one I choose to keep me right on track every time,” says Enchong.
Erich couldn’t agree more. “I’ve always loved drinking tea and I was actually surprised to know that Real Leaf has honey. I never thought it could be that unique ingredient that can add that hint of gentle sweetness and make it even more delicious. Of all three flavors, Honey Apple, Honey Lemon and Honey Lychee, I find Real Leaf Honey Lychee the yummiest. And that’s the best part about drinking this product- you know it’s not only tasty, healthy too. It’s my gold standard for green tea!” Erich adds. Naturally, honey is a good source of antioxidants and even contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids and can even help prevent seasonal allergies.

Right after the film showing, Enchong and Erich, along with renowned personalities, also tea and honey lovers gave their seal of approval to Real Leaf for elevating the way green tea could be enjoyed in the country by infusing real tea with real honey. No doubt, these individuals who uphold the highest standards in their respective fields choose nothing less than products of superior quality and value like Real Leaf. Guests were then handed ice-cold bottles of Real Leaf for them to taste the delicious difference.
At the end of the fun-filled affair, guests and tea lovers all around were left with one last thing to answer- would you settle for your usual green tea or choose deliciously reviving Real Leaf Green Tea?

What's new with Marriott Hotel Manila ?

New Executive Chef to Spearhead Marriott Manila’s Kitchen Team

Positioning itself as one of the most-sought-after dining destinations in Manila’s famed culinary scene, Marriott Hotel Manila takes pride in introducing a young and vibrant newly-appointed Executive Chef-- Meik Brammer.

33 year old Brammer is a native of Beirut, Germany and started his career breakthrough at the famed Reneissance Zurich Hotel as a demi chef. He took charge in the banquet, outside caterings, and in the lunch buffet in the all-day dining restaurant which gave him the “Associate of the Month” recognition.

Chef Meik’s flamboyant, sociable personality creates a distinctive flair for being flexible as he interacts with the guests. He describes himself as “an outgoing person who would like to interact with guests and delight them in every way possible from a culinary point of view.”

Executive Brammer’s assignment in different hotel properties in Asia, Middle East, and Europe brings a distinct culinary mastery in the international market. He subsequently joined JW Marriott properties in Kuwait, China, and Thailand where he acquired unrelenting creativity and precision in the kitchen which landed him the position of Executive Chef at Hua Hin Marriott Resort Spa in 2006. At the same time, his exposure in a variety of cultures and cuisines has gained invaluable knowledge in both classical and modern techniques throughout his gastronomic journey.

Fuelled by his love for eating and cooking, the young chef also likes to travel a lot. With Chef Meik’s larger than life personality, he looks forward injecting it throughout the hotel’s dining experience. He adds, “Marriott Hotel Manila’s signature fun, high-quality dining experience in a welcoming setting has surely won the hearts and palates of many guests.”

Marriott Hotel Manila general manager Richard Saul says, “We ensure that we hire top-of-the-line talent. In the increasingly competitive gastronomical scene, we understand that our sophisticated clientele expect only the best. Chef Meik’s leadership in the culinary team ensures that we present our guests with distinctive and superior dining offering in the finest Marriott tradition.”

Marriott Hotel Manila is set in the world class entertainment complex of Resorts World Manila across NAIA Terminal 3. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Bonifacio Global City and Makati Business District. Blessed with a splendid view of the adjoining 18-hole Villamor Golf Course, it boasts 342 exquisite guest rooms that offers luxurious bedding, high-speed internet, 40" full high definition LCDs with IPTV and the new remote jack pack plug-and-play system.
