Gladly I was invited to watched the new video ads of the Climate Change Commission and of course watched the movie "The Lorax" on 3D.  Together with my son we both enjoyed the movie.  My son was very amazed with the RE Troopers.

The Lorax is one of Dr. Seuss classic children's book story and it was given life in 3D animation with wonderful new characters, including a boy, whose journey is to search for a magical creature that will win for him the affection of the girl he loves.

The Lorax' story centers on one of the most important issue of our time, saving our environment.  It is set in an imaginary world that is polluted and grim, because of Once-ler, a strange creature obsessed in cutting "Truffula" or trees, thinking that this will help him craft "Thneeds", which he thought everyone will need.  In the end, after realizing the sad consequences of his action, Once-ler gives the boy the last truffula seed and asked him to plaint it for trees and fauna to return.

The story of The Lorax is relevant today.  virtually almost all of the country's ecosystems have been significantly transformed or degraded.  Philippine ecosystems have changed more rapidly due to deforestation, pollution, urban congestion, marine and coastal degradation and loss of biodiversity, which have worsen the impacts of climate change in the Philippines.

"Trees are very important in the country's roadmap in the battle against climate change, they clean the air while at the same time serving as carbon sinks", Secretary Mary Ann Lucille Sering said.

The NCCAP, approved by President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III November last year, has seven thematic priorities, one of which is Ecosystem and Environment stability.  Environmental sustainability therefore means maintaining healthy and stable ecosystems, which is a necessity especially amidst changing climate.






"Adapting to climate change requires the action of everyone.  We need to have everyone informed of what they can do to save the environment, and in the long run, the future generations.  We have to act now if we want our children to have genuine trees in their time", she said.

In cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development (USAid), the CCC aims to share the morale of the story to young and old alike as they launch their video against climate together with the premiere of the movie.

The video will be shown in all SM and Ayala cinemas for one whole year.

"Our video will show that people from all walks of life should be involved in addressing climate change.  Small actions count big, and collectively they can make an impact", she added.

"It's not too late. We still have genuine trees around us.  Climate change is here and we need to adapt.  Let's take care of the environment and we will be more climate resilient in the future," she said.

 



Another pampering night featuring new experiences of different services. 

Mr. Migs Dela Rosa of Nails.Glow invited some bloggers to try out their services at their newly opened branch located at Don Antonio, Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City.  Well, since the place is very near, I took the opportunity to sign up and experience what they can offer.

Nails.Glow Don Antonio branch opened last March 11, 2012. According to the General Manager that specific branch is their 17th store as of that very moment.  Hmm... imagine for almost 3 years they have already branched out that number, very fast.


Why they manage to have 17 branches in just 3 years? Well for a start they sure know how to offer good quality services for a very reasonable and affordable prices.  Also, perhaps they have a secret or management technique that they've used to make their brand progress that far.


So, to start the pampering night, they've started it with the usual services that I tried on other establishments.  First was the foot spa with pedicure. Then, I did try the hand spa, manicure and the paraffin treatment which was new to me.  The paraffin treatment takes long also, though I only tried it on my feet.  Just like any other treatment this one also hurts because I need to plunge in my feet on a the paraffin solution (not sure if that's they call it) for three times and then it will be covered with wax which will be covered for 20 minutes.  Whew, another long time with less movement.  Anyway that's why it's called pampering.


With regards to the courtesy and professionalism of their staff, I could really say that I really like how the staff of nails.glow treat us.  They keep you entertained and they even tell you what are the services that you need to try, and guess what??? I have learned a lot from them, they've told me about the proper caring of nails, what to do, and how to keep it clean.  Of course they all know how to promote their company.  They are also provides free iced tea or coffee while enjoying the services.


Well, because of the hands on owner of the branch, Ms. Tiff and the close monitoring of the General Manager and the continuous promoting of their Marketing Manager, Mr. Migs dela Rosa and the very talkative staff results with quality services in an affordable price.

Please do visit Nails. Glow at #18 A Don Jose St., don Antonio Heights, North Gate Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City (9905232/09328851100) or you can visit their site www.nailsdotglow.com and their Facebook Page for updates and their other branches.  Here are the services that they're offering.

Marvin Agustin’s journey to what he is today—a successful chef and restaurateur—is so inspiring that it became the cornerstone of his latest endorsement for Knorr Cubes.

Marvin recently signed on to become the new brand ambassador for Knorr Cubes, the favorite partner of people like him who are passionate about food and cooking. As such, he is also the new face behind Knorr Cubes’ “Door to door Sabaw Challenge” in which he will be visiting different cities all over the Philippines, challenging cooks to identify which is the better, more ma-karne and better-tasting sabaw: the one made with Knorr Cubes, or not?

During the challenge, Marvin will present two versions of sabaw, one made with granules and the other, made with Knorr cubes. Marvin believes so much in the product’s claims to deliver the meatiest taste and flavor that he throws in a promise to give up cooking if they end up choosing the sabaw that’s not made of Knorr cubes—and everyone knows how passionate Marvin is about cooking, so for him to promise that is a big deal.

Among the locations Marvin will visit are Laguna, Iloilo, and Metro Manila. There will be a series of 30-seconder commercials featuring Marvin engaging cooks and housewives to take part in the challenge.


“That’s really what it’s about: Marvin being confident about the product so much that he’s willing to give up his passion for cooking just to prove a point, which is that Knorr cubes is the meatiest out of all the cooking aids in the Philippines,” says Monica Rios, brand manager of Knorr for Unilever Philippines, which is spearheading the Door-to-door challenge.

Marvin grew up in a household where cooking was a passion. Their apartment was small, and from the living room, one could sit and smell what was being cooked in the kitchen.

His mother loved to cook Filipino dishes. “Mahilig kami sa sabaw. Mahilig kami sa sinigang, mahilig kami sa nilaga. Every meal, kailangan laging may sabaw. Sabaw at kanin,” recalls Marvin. “At we really used Knorr cubes. Kahit pinakbet, nilalagyan ng Knorr shrimp na cubes.”

As a teenager, Marvin worked as a waiter, and later, became a mascot for a popular fastfood chain. From there, he worked his way up, became a popular actor and re-invented himself into a successful businessman with a chain of restaurants that includes Sumo Sam, Oyster Boy, Marciano’s, Komrad, John and Yoko and Mr. Kurosawa.

This is what inspired Unilever to choose him to be the latest endorser of Knorr Cubes.

Says Rios: “It’s a nice success story to hear, that he started out as a waiter, and even worked as a mascot for a while. He has proven that he can rise above all the challenges in life. Now he’s a chef and a restaurateur. It’s very inspiring, the way he was able to achieve everything…maypassion siya, and he just really went for it. So it’s a nice feeling for him to be endorsing the product.”

Marvin feels honored to be chosen to join Knorr’s family of chefs. “When I first learned about it (endorsement), sabi ko, everyone knows that I really love cooking. I love cooking for my friends and my family, and Knorr cubes is really what we use for soup. So napakasaya at family-orientedang pino-promote namin na brand.”

How do you make foam?

Foam-making in the past may have been a tedious, manual labor-intensive job but the process was made even better, thanks to modern technology. By using state-of-the-art equipment, Multiflex RNC Philippines of the RGC Foam Group, makers of the popular Uratex foam, totally revolutionized foam-making not only in the Philippines but also in South East Asia.

Being one of the largest foam-makers in the region and with advanced foam manufacturing equipment, let us see how a Uratex foam product is made:


 • The Research & Development laboratory – Just like cooking, a good foam starts with the perfect recipe, and in foam-making, the R&D facility of the RGC Foam Group, one of the country’s most advanced, is where it all starts. There, Uratex laboratory personnel develop formulations that result to certain types of foam and also conduct tests to ensure that the formulation will meet final product specifications that customers look for. Over the years, this department has developed thousands of formulations that benefited the Philippine industrial history, from the car development program of the 1970s to the footwear, garments and electronics boom in the 1980s and 1990s.
• Foaming – Once the formulation is finalized, it is entered into the foaming machine’s computer system. There, up to 26 streams of different chemicals are doused using computer-controlled metering pumps for precision. The liquid will turn into cream within seconds and then into solid state within 1.5-2 minutes, and where the solid foam block may be cut between 1 to 60 meters in length. At the Muntinlupa plant, the foam is cut in 30-meter lengths. This high-tech machinery is complimented by a quality management system and ran by highly-trained personnel.
• Curing area – The 30-meter long blocks are then picked up by an overhead crane and transferred to the curing area. Foam is produced via an exothermic reaction where the center may reach up to 145-165 degrees Celsius within 20-30 minutes. It will not start to cool for another 3-4 hours but will reach room temperature within 24 hours and is “cured”.
• Foam block warehouse – This is the storage area for the foam blocks. From there, the plant’s production department will request for a specific type of block with different sizes as per orders coming from customers. These blocks are then moved to the production area where they will be cut according to the desired sizes.
• Production area – It is from this area where the Uratex products that we all see come from. The foam blocks are cut into the requested size and then “contoured” based on the type of product to be produced, whether a pillow, a mattress, or even a car seat foam. Once cut and contoured, the product goes straight to packaging under strict quality control standards, ready for delivery to the customer.




 
The RGC Group of Companies revolutionized foam making back in 1987 when they set up the first continuous foaming machine in the country called the “Vertifoam” process. This involves computerized metering of materials to form perfectly-shaped foam with lesser scrap that benefited both the market and the environment because of less wastage.

In 2001, the group further blazed the trail in foam-making when it installed new foaming equipment called “Hennecke.” Tagged as the “Mercedes Benz” of the foam-making industry, this German-manufactured equipment is regarded as the best in the world. On December 2009, the RGC Group invested on another Hennecke machine with the latest technological improvements to serve as back-up to the year 2001 version.

A bright future is meaningless to a country that is slowly being swallowed by a silent darkness. This irreversible darkness is plaguing many Filipinos today as glaucoma becomes more and more prevalent in the country.

Glaucoma, a blindness that is a permanent paralysis, is taken much too lightly. It is the country’s leading cause of bilateral irreversible blindness, according to the Philippine National Survey of blindness.

It slowly and gradually impairs vision. Like the dreaded disease, cancer, it has no cure and it commonly shows no signs in the early stages nor painful symptoms.

Moreover, a small number of patients with glaucoma also experience episodes of eye pain, blurred vision, redness, headache, vomiting, and seeing rainbows around lights. The disease permanently damages the optic nerve, which is what connects the eye to the brain, and causes a shrinking of the visual field.

There is no single diagnostic test for glaucoma. Early detection and treatment of glaucoma is important to control it. Once diagnosed, the unlucky patient must follow-up with their physicians for the rest of their lives.

Glaucoma is not picky. It can afflict a person regardless of age, health, or race. Glaucoma can occur at any age, but the most commonly affected are the older individuals.

Patients who are most likely to contract glaucoma usually have family history of the disease, high eye pressure, a previous eye injury, chronic steroid use and/or diabetes mellitus.

Early detection prevents blindness

It is often stated in medicine that prevention is better than cure. In the case of glaucoma, contracting the hereditary form of the disease may not be preventable but early diagnosis and treatment can certainly help prevent blindness.

Philippine Glaucoma Society along with Allergan brings scientific excellence and rigor in delivering leading products that address glaucoma. Allergan goes beyond providing education and information. With the highest level of integrity, Allergan helps patients understand the choices available to them and make well-informed treatment decisions with their doctors.

Allergan is a global, technology-driven multi-specialty health care company pursuing therapeutic advances to help patients live life to their fullest potential while the Philippine Glaucoma Society is an internationally-recognized leader in providing excellent glaucoma care in the Philippines through education, exchange of ideas, research and publication.

The Philippine Glaucoma Society also strives eradicate glaucoma by increasing awareness of the disease in the community, healthcare system, policy-making bodies, and among patients afflicted with the disease. The Society also aims to educate the community, provide improved service for indigent patients, and initiate research on glaucoma.

Glaucoma can be prevented by having regular eye check-ups. Immediately consult your eye doctor/ophthalmologist if you have blurry vision or if you have eye pain. There is hope. There can be a bright future. If we do it right, we can escape the darkness.

It's really rare now finding people in a corner reading books.  Personally I'm not a book lover so attending an event like is very unlikely.  So I let my correspondent attend the said event in my behalf.

Hopefully, I could get the habit of reading books.  I should be because my kids will look at me as their role model.  Whew!  This will for sure going to be hard soon.

Anyway here's my correspondents coverage of the Book Festival.


 
 
 

My ideal Nuffnang summer is spending my entire week plunging in the beaches of Boracay and playing with their white sands, creating sand castles and everything that I can think of.   With my family we will for sure enjoy the sun, the salty water, and the view together with "Schick.  Free your skin.".  Letting the salty water splash into me and the cool breeze of the wind without the worry of getting burnt with the help of "Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion.  We've got you covered."

Having this ideal summer can really make a very good bonding with my family!

I'm awaiting for this summer getaway and hoped it will be there soon!  Welcome SUMMER!

Last time I attended a press conference that is something different. It's a team up of Derek Ramsay and Erich Gonzales and the movie is entitled "Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang".

Though there are different tales about monsters and creatures, I haven't experienced or seen any of it.  Perhaps it is one of the Filipinos intriguing stories.  Most of them were told by the old folks of different towns, though there claims, still, no one can really prove and later on become myths.



Director Richard Somes runs his wild imagination on this story and it is about a couple whose love for each other survives the biggest trials confronting them.  Erich plays the character of Corazon whose otherwise peaceful life in a small town is shattered by a crime that brings back her tragic memory about World War II.  While Derek plays the role of Daniel, Corazon's husband, whose obsession in life is to sire a child with Corazon.  Having a baby is the only important thing Corazon wants in life, but she and Daniel have been unsuccessful in having one even if they've been married for five years.

The death of Corazon's father prompt the townspeople to hurt insults at Corazon about her past, forcing her and Daniel to transfer to another town where they seek the help of a woman in their desire to have a baby.  Wish granted.  But the baby comes out stillborn.  Corazon and Daniel's world crumbles and their love for each other is in question.


This is a very intriguing horror love story that will raise curiosity to those who have viewed the trailer.  Everything will be answered and will be revealed on March 14, 2012 under Star Cinema and Skylight Films.  Other casts of the film are Mark Gil, Tetchie Agbayani, Epi Quizon, Mon Confiado, Dan Alvaro, Sue Prado, Sharlene San Pedro, Bodjie Pascual and Ma. Isabel Lopez.


"Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang" opens in over 100 theaters nationwide on March 14, 2012!

Now, it’s been said that looking good is a quick indication of also feeling good; a person who exudes confidence and effortless style walks with a presence that is undeniably attractive. However, people often forget that it also works both ways. Smooth skin invites soft glances, bouncy hair puts a spring in your step, and an all-around glow quickly boosts confidence.

Enter Snoé, the country's latest cosmetics offering. Despite championing locally sourced ingredients, the brand goes beyond Philippine shores to present a global appeal with expert efficiency. They also import the the industry's latest favorites in order to keep up with changing trends and stay on top of the scene.

Moreover, Snoé’s multi-targeting multi-active products, from rejuvenating washes to skin tone-enhancing cheek tints, not only do the job well, but they are poised at utmost affordability so that anyone and everyone can "look good and feel good," a mantra that the company upholds. With a wide and ever growing variety of products, Snoé is poised to become everyone's favorite companion, already topping must-have lists and promising further domination in the coming year.

Get a complete cleansing experience with Snoé's Emuthology line, which includes an oil concentrate for daily toning, moisturizing, and protecting all in one. Meanwhile, EmuTox combines the anti-aging properties of emu oil and Acai for thorough skin regeneration. The cycle is refreshed by using EmuLite, a perfect night cream that will fortify the other products' fine line reduction and skin brightening. The triple treats prove Snoé's philosophy of reasonably priced items that work on multiple levels.

The Honey Olive Clementine variant of the Hair Heroes line, on the other hand, comes as a shampoo and a conditioner, reinvigorates hair damaged due to dry, humid weather and specifically addresses brittle Asian locks. For the erratic weather, this combo keeps hair alive and fresh.

Meanwhile, the SunTervention block provides SPF 80+ and doubles as anti-aging, preventing breakdown of collagen and elastin that cause fine lines, even more important now people often forget UVA and UVB rays still penetrate and damage skin despite the cooler weather.

For this season, the best of the bestselling beauty bars would be the Exfoliating Oatmeal Beauty Bar, with active ingredients including goat’s milk, jojoba oil, and natural vitamins to ensure unclogged and clearer skin. Their other beauty bars include high kojic acid, a potent whitener, as well as grape seed oil that combats dryness.

Thankfully, all these products are made available at unbelievably reasonable prices, so anyone and everyone can look good and feel great about it.

Also due to Snoé’s personal approach, the products are not out of place within a new routine for the new year. Changing diets, changing habits, and changing resolutions often mean other changes for your body and your skin, but Snoé’s line of beauty bars, washes, whitening creams, et al. formulate flawlessly to Asian skin and even encourage daily usage..
