Women wears different hats each day--a housewife, a mother, a leader , a career woman--but no matter what role Filipinas play, we all do it with pride, confidence, and strength. Thus it's no longer a surprise that from being a typical homemaker, women’s role has indeed changed and expanded through time and thereby allowing each one of us to shine even more.  Barbizon, a renowned Filipino brand of intimate apparel, witnessed this evolution of the Filipino women. Backed with 40 years in the industry and with over 30 million undergarments sold, the company that started as a brand of ladies' underwear, grew together with its market and has fortified the business with the three attributes that Filipinas need, particularly for their undergarments.

Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow Review


When I came to the PETA-PHINMA Theater that morning for the press preview, I honestly wasn't sure if I'd be enjoying Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow, simply because I thought it was something for the kids to enjoy. The said play is having its Manila run until the 23rd of November. But while I was inside the theater, I couldn't help but guffawed at all the magical acts and antics that Finland magician and screenwriter Janne Raudaskoski did. I had totally lost myself as I felt childlike again while watching Wally Watthead and His Lost Glow.

Lani Misalucha La Nightingale Concert at Smart Araneta Coliseum


The Asia's Nightingale, Lani Misalucha is back in town! It's been a long while since Misalucha had a concert at the Big Dome. "I've missed performing for the Filipino audience," said Misalucha during a Skype interview. As a gift to her fans, Misalucha will be having another concert called La Nightingale to be held on December 6, 2014 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. "The concept is very exciting. Since not everyone can't see me perform in Las Vegas (where Misalucha had been based for so many years), we might as well bring some kind of what I've done in Las Vegas here as a treat to all the Filipinos who will come and watch the show," Misalucha enthuses. "Of course, I will still be doing some of the songs which had made me who I am today, you know some of the most requested songs of mine, but I'm gonna be doing something different. It will be another night ti remember because it promises to be lots of fun."

Huggies Dry Pants: Convenient Diaper for Baby and Budget-FriendlyforMommies




                     Cerise Millicent in her goofy smile. 

A baby is always considered a blessing in the family. But rearing up one into this world entails a lot of responsibilities. From the time a mother delivers her child up to the time when she brings the baby home--in usual cases, the mother is deprived of sleep. And the sleep deprivation often lasts for quite a long period of time. That's why it is important to choose the right brand and top quality when it comes to disposable nappy. And as baby grows, he becomes more active and changing diapers becomes an unpleasant experience for both Mom and baby as he kicks and turns around which may result in a diaper's poor fit. This where the new Huggies Dry Pants comes in. With Huggies Dry Pants, changing diapers becomes so easy in just three steps! Yes, changing diapers need not be stressful especially for hands-on  moms.

Doña Elena Celebrated the World Pasta Day: Al Dente Pasta 101


I'm no pasta expert although some of my friends really know what it means to have a good pasta since they lived, studied and worked in Italy for the longest time. And since they had imbibed the Italian way of cooking, eating their specialty dishes feels like they've brought Italy closer to home. I'm used to authentic Italian cooking so I'm more particular when it comes to pasta. It has to be from durum semolina, must be bronze cut and best of all, they should be 'al dente'. What does the term al dente means? In a simple layman's term, it should be something that can be chewy. I recently attended an invite from Doña Elena Al Dente Pasta in an event to celebrate the National Pasta Month.

Big Hero 6: Movie Review




Unbeknownst to many, Big Hero 6 was a Marvel Comics property converted into a kid-friendly computer animated feature in 3D and helmed under Don Hall, director of "Winnie the Pooh". Big Hero 6 becomes far from its original comic strip and sheds some power-packed action scenes which was a typical Marvel filmed trademark, rather it becomes very Disney with its awesome cuteness. 

I got confused a bit where the said film took place. For due its the acquisition, it's supposed to be a place where Tokyo has merged with San Francisco, thus it's called as SanFransokyo. It embraces the Japanese animation with all its kawaii factor. But this will surely disappoint fans of the original comic book series.

Bioessence is Now on its 20th Year and Counting!


Great things start from small beginnings. This proves to be true with the rise of Bioessence from its humble beginnings in Davao City two decades ago. Who would've thought that a small spa which started out with only three-beds would eventually become one of the country's top pampering spa and slimming center with numerous branches and counting? Kudos to the woman who had envisioned Bioessence, Dr. Beleno, dermatologist and proprietor of Bioessence. 




I had always been one of the many loyal Bioessence clients ever since I've discovered their facial and Swedish massage treatments around four or three years ago. In fact, it's not only me who goes to patronize Bioessence, but my family as well. After trying out their amazing treatments, it was I, who had encouraged my Aunt to try their services. And in no time, my Aunt has enrolled in Bioessence's programs at their Sta. Lucia Mall branch where she frequents. My Mom who used to accompany me for my treatments would also end up availing treatments/services herself at Bioessence too. 





Since they are celebrating their 20th year anniversary, allow me to share with you my two cents worth on why you should choose Bioessence among all the other establishments that offer the same services + why do I love Bioessence in ten reasons. Okay, here goes why (not exactly in chronological order):
