The event happened at the McKinly Hill, Taguig City and yours truly got invited for a night of being tagged and of course socializing with blogger friends and different brands. Friendly Alliances and Media Expression or FAME, Inc. has once again hosted an event for bloggers as they recognize how influential and powerful the bloggers are. The event features FAME brands alongside with its other corporate partners and supporters. It was flattering to know that FAME recognizes the power of the bloggers and quoting from their press release that “Bloggers are the online influencers that drive today’s digital world”. Indeed but of course with proper influencing and providing just the right perspective about a certain brand or products.

The night’s program aired about FAME and its partners, as FAME with more than a decade in the publishing industry has gone a long way from having only a doctor’s passion to write to becoming one of the most promising publications in the country today. Promoting good health, a healthy lifestyle, sound Christian values, and professional excellence FAME has become a trusted brand in creating quality publications with having seven titles under its belt. With its Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Rafael R. Catillo, FAME gave its doctors and readers the Health and Lifestyle magazine which is a quintessential guide for the modern-day doctor.
Two years later, FAME ventured into commercial publication with the launch of DiabetEASE which give advice to patients and families suffering from diabetes. From feature and in-depth stories on medicine, FAME later launched another magazine which is the Travel Plus which promotes Philippines and international tourism. Then Zen Health was also launched to empower the modern-day woman.

For more than two years now, Vital Signs, one of FAME’s latest publications in an eight-page newsletter format, is seen to become the leader in medical news as it synthesizes the most recent scientific and healthcare news taken from notable sources in the field of healthcare, medicine and public health administration read by doctors, healthcare professionals and even legislators.

UNO Magazine shows another beautiful maiden on their cover and for this issue, the hot and delectable Dawn Jimenez of OTJ is up for the peeping eyes of men.

If you have seen the On The Job, you have definitely seen her break-out role during THE climactic scene in the movie about prisoners exiting prison to become hired hit men for corrupt government officials. Dawn surprised everyone as she took everything off for her wild love scene with Gerald Anderson, whose character didn't get any action for several months. Everything. She didn't even leave the cover on.

Her willingness to be daring however paid off, as Dawn scored her first cover for UNO and an upcoming role in the ABS-CBN afternoon teleserye Moon of Desire.

For UNO's 92nd issue, she gets down, dirty and simply delicious for this cover shoot. Donning the teensiest red and black lace lingerie, Dawn nibbles ever so gently or sometimes fiercely on a luscious piece of chocolate in the photos.

She reveals her thoughts on nabbing the role in OTJ and her excitement at being in a new afternoon teleserye with JC De Vera, Meg Imperial and Ellen Adarna.

She wasn't afraid to get all wet and lathered in chocolate for this UNO cover either. Dawn, with a sweet smile that could melt the hardest heart or chocolate, is actually a lover of zombie movies, even the low-budget ones, a fact that will surely get many a guy's attention.

Well, if the first few pages of Dawn's body in chocolate, with chocolate, on chocolate still didn't get your heart pumping (you must be cold-blooded then), perhaps the last spread will get a rise out of you.

Well, this 92nd UNO issue also has some other articles that will get you excited and blood flowing to other parts of your body.

Like the Places to Dayo For, a food feature that takes you to different kinds of hole-in-the-wall restos from North, South to Central Metro Manila. If you are still hungry after this feature, you can go back for some more Dawn.

Or you can impress your girl with your vast knowledge of wines, especially if all you've been drinking all your life is beer. Your wine expertise is sure to get your girl excited and more...fluid.

And we didn't forget to include a feature in this issue for that other part of you that also does some thinking...your brain. Atom Araullo, the big shot broadcast journalist gets intimate and shares about his rise to fame and how this alpha male manages it all: work, fame, and love.

So go ahead, feel free to grab UNO's 92 issue. Everyone deserves a bite of chocolate-y happiness.

UNO magazine is available in all leading bookstores and magazine stands nationwide.

Here's something new dear readers!  I have been featuring food and other stuff here and now this is quite different. This time I will be featuring about a magazine, yes it's a MAGAZINE.  This blog wouldn't be a MAG if I wouldn't be featuring magazines as well. Okay heading on.

This magazine that we are about to feature here is not just an ordinary Magazine but it is the leading magazine in the metro which is about Food.  And it's already been a decade that they have dominated the market as one of the leading magazine that is about food.

Cook Magazine started their food wavering in year 2000.  One of their thrust is to recognize the huge difference between restaurant food and home cooked food.  It was designed and written for the millions of Filipinos who loves to know things about food and cooking.  Included in this magazine are the articles and recipes created and shared by hobbyists and food lovers.

Just recently, Cook Magazine celebrated their 12th year in the business.   Attended by different advertisers, PRs, bloggers, guests and a whole lot more of individuals who loves food and are fans of Cook Magazine which was held at F1 Hotel.  The management & Staff of COOK Magazine hosted this early holiday bash to thank their advertisers, friends, partners and all those who rallied behind the magazine this year.
They are continuously innovating and conceptualizing the content of the magazine to serve better their readers and to do the appropriate taste of the new generation with regards to food.


In the past, the magazine had been covering artisan foods from meals to snacks beverages, cheeses, condiments, meat and seafood categories, perhaps the biggest bulk of the selections have been sweets-fine candy, artisan chocolates, cookies, brownies and desserts. In reply to the shifting market and consumer needs, the new COOK content looks at the future of food and its role in pop culture.  Food Editor Chef Danny De La Cuesta gathers a handful of food visionaries, industry practitioners, celebrity chefs for great food exchange in all the magazine's 2013 issues. In the 88 pages, it will discuss the newest and best products, food recommendations, reviews, how-to's, reference articles, culinary destinations, product recipes or go-to source of consumer information in the dynamic food category. It will also include artisanal and small production consumer items that readers might not have discovered on their own plus information on how to use them to make everyday dining and entertaining easier and more exciting.

Cook will make a lot of editorial on mass-produced brands, food service and food festivals, widening its reach to industry professionals because it promises to be the only consumer publication that will review best brands of foods, restaurants and beverages in every category.



The December issue that will hit stands in the first week of December 2012, features Katrina Ponce Enrile as the cover image- a fashion influencer and a culinary entrepreneur. She describes Cook Magazine as "an institution and a community for so many people that it created a new category-homeccoks-when it launched and has remained the highest-selling cookery title in its entire market life."

The event also took the opportunity to make public the New Look and Conceptual Direction of the Magazine that will be offering consumers an ever more diverse way of accessing its brand, in print through the magazine, and bookazines, online through the website and mobile and face-to-face through our Food Events.


Today COOK is a market leading food magazine, selling 83,500 copies a month. Each issue is packed with over 44 recipes for everyday meals, easy entertaining and dishes from food experts. The Cook magazine cooery team tests every recipe published. The magazine is available at all National Bookstore, Powerbooks, Booksale, 7-11 outlets, Mini-Stops and other leading outlets nationwide.
