This is for the young, and the young at heart (like me, lol). 17-year old Elmo Magalona, the sixth of eight children of the late master rapper Francis M and Pia Magalona, has just been signed up as the celebrity endorser of Oishi's O, Wow! campaign. We love Oishi. Blogging right now while eating this chichirya called Baked Porky Popps... do try, this is definitely better (and cheaper) than chicharon! :D Going back to Elmo, his appearance is a cross between his mom and dad although it's elating to hear that he's taking after the footsteps of the legendary ...

A bevy of 30 girls competed in yesterday's Bb. Pilipinas grand finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Bb.

Zen Zest summer scents
I've always admired people with the chutzpah for business, and in this case I was glad to meet in person Ms. Michelle Asence-Fontelera, the lady behind the popular Zen Zest soaps & scents which we can find in the major malls. She's not even 35 yet and it's admirable how Ms. Fontelera has transformed Zen Zest into a major brand in the market today. Hers is a story of how you can turn your passion into a success. As a young girl, she was always into perfumes and looking good. Then, she thought of getting into business as a way of getting out of a broken heart. In ... Continue Reading...
