If the cheery folks of 7-Eleven Philippines have their way, the next Philippine president will be determined by the number of Gulp drinks that their customers buy. Improbable, you might say, but it has actually worked in the US for three consecutive elections, according to Jose Victor Paterno, president & CEO of Philippine Seven Corporation. Indications that Barack Obama will win first showed in the informal poll called 7-Election that 7-11 conducted along with prominent global news networks CNN and USA Today, he added. The Philippine version of 7-Election ... Continue Reading...
1st Philippine International Pyromusical Competition: France vs. Japan
I now work on Sundays and was wondering why there's been traffic in the Macapagal Boulevard area in Pasay nearing nighttime. It turns out the culprit is the 1st Philippine International Pyromusical Competition ongoing till March 14 at the Mall of Asia grounds. So last Sunday, the whole family decided to just bear with the traffic and watch the fireworks display itself. VIP tickets with dinner cost P1500 and I presume those who bought these tickets get the best view and best seats. We just decided to hang out in one of the veranda restaurants which were also selling ... Continue Reading...
Pregnancy massage at Sujivana Spa
Going to spas and getting a massage was the one precious thing I had to give up for the past six months that I've been pregnant. It was for the simple reason that none of the regular therapists wanted to touch me. Most of them thought that I was in such a delicate stage to be kneaded and rubbed thoughtfully. One time, I even tried to Google "pregnancy massage in the Philippines" just to know my chances, and a few names came up. I began to understand that this type of massage needs some type of training on those who performed it. It was probably heaven-sent that we ... Continue Reading...
Grendha shoes and slip-ons to love at Bambu store, Glorietta
We attended the opening of the new Bambu store in Glorietta 4 last week,and we thought having four young girls cut the ceremonial ribbon was such a cute idea. (they were nieces/relatives of Bambu owner Patxi Elizalde) Bambu is a one-stop shop when you're looking for quality, fashionable Brazilian footwear, notably flip-flops which you can strut around the beach. Very apt since summer's almost here! The house carries such noted brands as Ipanema, Ipanema GB (which stands for supermodel Gisele Bundchen), Grendha and Rider sandals for men. They've also added ... Continue Reading...
The look of love, the look of Love Etc… by The Body Shop
God knows there's no other best time to feel BLAH than when you're pregnant. No salon agrees to color my hair (even though the grays are showing) and spas won't even give me my regular massage by reason of my swollen belly. My digitally-permed tresses have grown out and I can't have them straightened at this stage. Looks like everything has to wait until delivery! That's why I felt quite elated when publicist Char of Stratworks chose to invite me for a beauty event. It was the launch of the new Love Etc... line by The Body Shop in the runup to Valentine's Day. I ... Continue Reading...
