There are four general reasons why people go vegetarian.
1. Health , those people who would like to become slim.
2. Environment, it’s a fact that being vegetarian is the best way to contribute to Mother Earth.
3. Ethics/Morals , there are people who acknowledge that animals also feel the same way, just like you and I , they don’t want to get hurt.
They feel pain.
4. Religion, some are obliged because meat eating is not allowed in their religion.
Tips on how to succeed in becoming vegetarian.
1. Have a strong determination
2. Some people tend to give up becoming vegetarian because they are not determined.
3. It takes months, years to become vegetarian, so don’t rush. Take it real slow.
4. Survival 101, a friend of mine started going vegetarian when he was in a military academy. His diet? : Rice, Toyo, Peanuts, Dingdong, Nesvita.
5. Most people are allergic to Eggs and Seafoods, shifting to plant based diet is a better choice.
Eat your veggies everyday!

There has been an increase in chemical based drugs and food additives.
The down side of chemical food additives has ranged from negative to disastrous, with many of them linked to cancer and other deadly diseases. Natural foods and medicines never produce this result.

Help Save Palawan
The Philippines’ Last Ecological Frontier: Saving the island of Palawan, one signature at a time
Falling in love with the beauty of Palawan is falling deeply in love with the immaculate splendor of Mother Nature.
One can only imagine how trip to this lovely destination, lying more than 500 kilometers southwest of Manila, can turn into the most unforgettable leisure experience ever. Known for its rich natural resource that have awed and captivated both Filipinos and foreigners alike, the island of Palawan has earned the distinction of being the most biodiverse island in the Philippines. It serves as home to 40% of the country’s remaining mangrove areas, 35% of the country’s coral reefs, 17 biodiversity areas, 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River Natural Park and the Tubbataha National Marine Park), and eight declared protected areas. It is also the provinces that houses one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The variety of natural life found in this vast strip of greenery that is known as Palawan is unmatched anywhere in the Philippines. This is the reason why the National Geographic Traveler magazine hailed the province as the best island destination in the entire East and Southeast Asia, and the 13th best island in the world having “incredibly beautiful natural seascapes and landscapes” both in 2007.
Ten million signatures to save Palawan
Despite the presence of such a very rich and diverse natural culture, Palawan is also a very fragile piece of land, with a thin layer of topsoil that is prone to erosion and landslides. And with aggressive mining taking place in certain areas of Palawan, it will only be a matter of time before the whole island sinks into the sea and be forgotten as a once proud and pristine natural treasure.
If the Philippines were to lose Palawan, the country will not only lose a valuable and irreplaceable treasure. More significantly, it will lose one of the Earth’s most precious and beautiful legacy to the next generation.
This is the advocacy being championed by the “Save Palawan Movement” as it encourages Filipinos to help stop mining in Palawan and other key biodiversity areas in the country by joining the march towards 10 million signatures aimed at saving the Philippines’ last ecological frontier.
“Currently, there are about 15 ongoing mining operations in Palawan, according to the Palawan NGO Network Inc. (PNNI). An even more shocking and outrageous fact is the number of pending mining applications in Palawan, which now stands at more than 100 as we speak,” says Gina Lopez, Managing Director of ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. “We have to note that contrary to what mining companies claim, the local mining industry only accounts for 1.3% of the country’s gross domestic product.”
In fact, a recent study conducted by UP School of Economics Dean Dr. Arsenio Balisacan reveals that of all the identified sectors, only mining had an increase in poverty incidence in a span of more than one decade from 27.84% in 1988 to 48.71% in 2009. This gives it the highest poverty incidence rating in 2009, followed by agriculture (47.92%).
This is just one of the recent details and researches that are set to be shared with campaign partners during the Save Palawan Movement General Assembly on November 21, 2011.
Also set to impart their knowledge and expertise during the said gathering are esteemed environmental scientists and researchers from Ateneo de Naga University and Ateneo de Manila University, led by Dr. Tony La Vina the head of the Ateneo School of governance, Dr. Boying Bautista and Atty. Gerthie Anda, who will be discussing the impact of mining to the economy; Atty. Jean Feliciano on the livelihood of Indigenous People in Brooke’s Point in Palawan; and freelance documentary producer and director Bernie Lopez on the largest mining venture in the country that is threatening Mindanao provinces with a potential mega disaster and other environmental and tribal issues.
“This very important gathering not only aims to renew our commitments for Palawan’s cause but also to increase awareness and share the vision preserving the natural beauty of Palawan and all the other key biodiversity areas here in the Philippines,” shares Lopez.
“With the help of more Filipinos, we hope to be able to save Palawan by asking both the local and the national governments to say no to mining so that we can protect one of our last remaining treasures and give the future generations a more beautiful and livable environment.”

Updates on Buko
As I woke up today , my stomach craves for something,
Something that is so refreshing at the same beneficial. So before taking any solid food , I'd rather look for a buko vendor.

A few days ago I posted the benefits of drinking fresh buko juice :

Ascof Lagundi
Ascof Lagundi is a commercialized herbal medicine for cough remedy.
How Much ?
In Mercury Drug , the price of Ascof Lagundi capsule is 6.75 each and you can take it 2-3 times a day.
So far it has not been studied as much as that with regular medications, better ask a doctor before taking this.
Although there's a Lucy Torres ad saying it is clinically proven safe and effective , It would still be better if you ask a doctor before taking this.
Rumor about this: Ascof Lagundi tests on Animals. ( to be confirmed )

Speaking of cruelty free, Bianca Valerio said in the event that she is a supporter of PeTA , so she would definitely like these products. The moment I saw Bianca I thought of her as a flower, She was in a red floral dress that night and she was really a lovely host. In fact she was able to remove Charade's nervousness. Bianca is a good example to everybody , she is a pesco-vegetarian and she lives a cruelty-free lifestyle. She is a good influence like her best friends in the industry, Isabel Roces (lacto-ovo), Raya Mananquil(vegan) and Val de los Santos (pesco)

ONE Naturales by Charade
Products that promise quick-fix beauty solutions bombard us everyday. Everywhere we look—from billboards to magazines, television to radio. Some of them do fulfill their promise, but at such a high cost. Some of them, too, are really quite affordable, but sadly don’t deliver the benefits that they claim.
So how do we discern the one that will work best for us without us having to spend a month’s salary on? For pharmacist and entrepreneur Charade Galang, it’s all about going back to the basics of personal care, opting for natural solutions without the compromises—whether it comes to the benefits they give or their price.
“Many believe that being beautiful requires a lot of effort and money, but then many also aspire to be beautiful without wanting to compromise both quality and affordability,” says the trained chemist, who has successfully met the challenge of uniting the dichotomy between the prevailing mindset and what we really want through ONE Naturales, an exclusive brand of Watson’s.

ONE stands for organic, natural and eco-friendly and ONE Naturales consists of personal care and beauty products made using natural ingredients presented in formulations to deliver optimal results. “We created the products using the best combinations of naturally sourced ingredients and organic extracts, exudates, purees and essential oils at high levels, not just a hint or a drop just for the sake of claiming that they contain them,” says Charade.
There are beauty companies, after all, that charge such a high price for products that either scrimp on essential ingredients or add unnecessary ones just for, as Charade says, “claiming.” “To be able to operate well, they tend to charge their bloated marketing expenses for advertising and media campaign to the end consumer. This would eventually affect their formulations since they would be limiting their budget on the cost of goods, and result to the use of more stable, volume-dictated cost, readily available, more aesthetically sourced ingredients that are more costly, hard to predict in color and state due to seasonal harvesting and other climactic changes,” she explains.
Our skin, being the largest organ in our body is our protection from external harmful agents, Charade adds, so it needs to be nourished well to be able to provide the optimal efficiency in accomplishing its purpose. “Exposing our skin to products that have conscious efforts to reduce chemical agents would retard skin aging, discoloration and stress-related problems.
This is why we formulated ONE Naturales using high amounts of natural and organic ingredients that act as both the main base and active ingredients. They bombard the skin with nourishment since all the extracts and natural oils used have high affinity to the skin and with continued use, would be just like feeding the skin more food than junk,” she says.
Charade, after all, knows the composition of formulations as well as the ingredients that actually work by heart. She just doesn’t have the educational background to back it up, but years of experience to speak of. Unbeknownst to many perhaps, she is actually behind Glorious Skin, a line of best-selling soaps that she herself not only formulated and produced, but actually used as well. “People would always comment on how good my skin is, so they would start trying my products on themselves and would be greatly satisfied with the benefits they give at such an affordable price,” Charade says.
That first foray into personal care while she was still employed in a top international fashion retail chain eventually led her to leave her job and start ONE Naturales. But even as her business grew, Charade still maintains the same quality control that she has applied when she was first starting out. “All ONE Naturales soaps are meticulously made by hand, while the other products are manufactured using the same standards in the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for manufacturing facilities implemented by government regulatory agencies worldwide,” she explains.
They are made in a highly regulated GMP-compliant, first class facility in China, which is also manufacturing for global brands from Western countries. The material sources used in ONE Naturales products, meanwhile, are carefully selected and procured from different countries worldwide where the specific ingredients are endemic to the place and passed the international standards and parameters for acceptance. They are cultivated and harvested yielding the highest concentrations. “ONE Naturales products have the least possible chemical agents that are skin-friendly and appropriately used to maintain their quality during the entirety of their shelf life.
These chemicals have been declared acceptable by global regulatory agencies for their safety and applicability for prolonged use and frequent exposure. They also don’t accumulate or create skin deposits that would consequently turn into a health hazard,” Charade explains. ONE Naturales’ current product range includes body soaps, solid shampoos, moisturizers, skin bar conditioners, body butter, lip butter balms, hair conditioners, and lotion massage bars. And just as important as the beauty and wellness benefits one gets from using ONE Naturales products is the good it gives back to the environment.
“The use of naturally sourced ingredients not only helps us rid of the toxins, but also improves our environment because there will be less toxins to flush in our baths. Likewise, all ONE Naturales packaging are made from recyclable tin cans and recycled paper,” she concludes.
