As a member of Generation X, I've grieved over a few people known or close to me who've died a little earlier than expected, of such causes as heart attacks and the dreaded CA. At this stage in life, health is a paramount concern. We can never eat too much, drink excessively or enjoy things with abandon because we're going to pay for it, sooner or later.

We were there when GSK Philippines launched their Put On Your Power ... Continue Reading...
I survived Fitness First #PushYourLimits!
There was an invite for us to attend the Push Your Limits event organized by Fitness First a few weeks ago in Bonifacio High Street. I was excited to go because I really like health-related activities, even though when it comes to going to the gym... it's really more of a case of "the flesh is willing, but the spirit is weak."

It's been a difficult but truly beautiful blessing for me to be entrusted with the lives of my little & not-so-little angels... never have I multi-tasked in my life, mustered the courage or even thought of faltering. Each day is a journey, a learning,a discovery ... no two situations are the same. But through it all, I am proud that I've never turned my back on this calling named Parenthood because it is ...

Rock the fat away @clubnewyou
The good news: Manila now boasts of the most happening restaurants that we don't need to go out of the country to taste 'global' food. We are also eating out more and posting more foodporn photos on sites like Instagram. The bad news: could it also be that the population is getting fatter & consuming more calories? Are we taking for granted eating healthy food in lieu of dining out and judging our intake based only on how delicious they are? According to a 2011 survey by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), 25% of Filipino adults are overweight, and ... Continue Reading...
