Wilkins Pure is one party essential you must not forget and
while partying can be pure fun, it can also take out of you. Dancing all night,
toasting to the good times, munching on party chow, and catching up and
laughing with friends old and new do add up to a roaring good time, and the
good energy and adrenaline can make you feel invincible.But you’re expending energy and taking in
toxins.Constant hydration is the key to
dancing till dawn and keeping yourself nice and ready for a whole night of
partying.
But it’s not just for partying nights, Wilkins Pure keeps
you fresh, well-hydrated and flushes out whatever toxins you may ingest, so
that you’ve got the fuel to dance all night (or even longer)!While all waters might be clear, not all are
pure.So not all waters can deliver the
same quality of hydration. On your down time, if you’re chilling with chips or after
a workout, pure water will flush out the toxins and replenish what you’ve lost.
Here are some of the celebrities who attended the party:
Everyone I know they like milk tea and takoyaki so much.
Honestly, I don’t drink milk tea but when I taste the Gulu Gulu milk tea I
began to like it. Their takoyaki is also different because of the toppings
which is with the pork floss or tuna floss.

I would like also to share how Gulu Gulu started, Mr. Guo
Weixiong, a Guangzhou-born man, had in1997. The dream was simple - he wanted to
spread the Guanzhou tea culture in his own country with the help of his
Taiwanese friends. And he discovered that young people love to eat while walking.
Since then, he spent his time researching on the eating habits of the young
ones, even until midnight.
Until one night, he found himself hungry. He then took a
milk tea and as he gulped, he heard a lovely sound of "Gülü gülü".
This sound made him feel excited. With his dream in mind, he decided to create
a food brand that belongs to him and also belongs to young people. Thus, this
brand of milk tea and octopus balls, Gülü gülü was born.
Since its opening in 1997, the footprints have been spread
across 15 provinces across the country. More than 50 cities, with many
outstanding employees and more than 500 chain stores.The tea culture has now
reached the Philippines. Gülü gülü's first store in the Philippines is located
at Savemore Nagtahan, Santa Mesa, Manila.
Yes, milk tea shops and takoyaki (octopus balls) stores have
been popping out like mushrooms everywhere here in the Philippines, but Gülü
gülü is now here to set the difference and you will taste the difference! Spread
the good news and they have other drinks that they serve not only milk tea.
Don't miss to visit Gulu Gulu and you can see the
difference!
Long weekend and if you love painting, photography &
sculpture visit Estancia Capitol Commons. Definitely you will amazed by the exhibits
of the over 100 artist who just joined the Ortigas Art Festival 2019. Since it
was successful turnout last year, Ortigas & Company launched the 10-day
Ortigas Art Festival to assert their commitment to bringing arts and culture
closer to the people.This year’s approach brought individual artists to the
spotlight, showcasing their creative individuality and placing them at the
forefront of the art scene.
It was the idea of Renato Habulan, renowned social realist
painter, to tap the various groups of artists from all over the country and
give them a venue to exhibit their works. Ortigas Malls was receptive to the
idea of promoting grassroots participation in the art scene. No gallery
representation – just artists working together; no admission charge for the
viewers – walk through the art for free.

HERE ARE THE FEATURED ARTISTS:
1. BENJIE TORRADO CABRERA - Among the featured artists is
master engraver, the only engraver in the country specializing in this
laborious, centuries-old medium. His works, which are complex in detail, are
inspired by his interest in cosmology, with geometric shapes and spheres that
signify the universe.
2. DARWIN “JAPAT” GUEVARRA - Another one to look out for aself-taught artist inspired by the works of
masters and his peers, showcases works that reflect his concepts of life and
social realism, expressed through his mastery of the paintbrush, sculpting,
photography, and experimenting with scrap and molded materials.
3. BERN WONG - Also in the spotlight is photographer with her
camera that has captured the most moving meditative and breathtaking landscapes
she has seen encountered in her travels. Her works express the minimal,
abstract, and even the surreal aspects of places she visits.
4. RICHARD BUXANI - Make sure to check out the works of an
architect who has since harnessed his talent to create sculptures made out of
metal. Inspired by Ronald Castrillo, Richarddiscovered a natural fondness for bending, crafting,
cutting, welding and molding materials – which will be showcased at the art
festival.

What can happen when you have measles? What should you do or
can you do when you have measles? Why is there an outbreak? How can measles be
prevented? For pregnant individuals, what can happen and how can they avoid it?
I am very glad I was able to attend the press conference of Philippine Society
for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Whatever I learned from them, I would
like to share to my readers.
Measles or Tigdas is a highly communicable disease that causes a significant morbidity
and mortality. Also highly contagious diseases while most people can recover
from this self-limiting illness, complications such as pneumonia and diarrhea
can occur, especially in children, persons with low immunity, and pregnant
women. It is not possible to predict which patients will develop complications
so the best way to combat the disease is to prevent it. Just last week, an
outbreak has been declared in the National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and
Western and Eastern Visayas.
Here are the several ways you can protect yourself from
measles (and other contagious infectious diseases):
1) Keep your vaccinations up-to-date. If you are a patient who
can receive live virus vaccines, you may opt to receive a booster MMR vaccine. Please
note that pregnant women and patients with low immunity cannot receive live
virus vaccines like MMR. Please consult your doctor regarding MMR vaccination.
2) Frequent hand washing with soap and water or an
alcohol-based hand rub.
3) Practice good cough etiquette (cover your cough with a
handkerchief or the sleeve of your shirt) or wear mask if you are coughing.
4) Stay at home if you are sick.

If you develop symptoms similar to measles (fever, rash,
cough, conjunctivitis), you may be contagious just by speaking or coughing. It
would be best for you stay home. If you must see a doctor, please wear a mask
at all times. Or you may visit the website address of Philippine Society for
Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Inc.: www.psmid.org
When was the last time you visit your cardiologist? The PHA
is here to continue to expand the medical knowledge of the field and other
concerns about heart disease to the public. Their here to prevent the
cardiovascular diseases. I am very happy that I was able to attend this health
forum and thru the speaker-panelists I learned a lot from them that I would like
also to share with my readers:
The PHA officers and Speaker-Panelists (from left): Dr. Nannette R. Rey, PHA President, Dr. Eric C. Sison, chair, PHA Council on Cardiac Catheterization, Dr. Ronald E. Cuyco, PHA Director/Advocacy Committe chair and Dr. Aurelia A. Leus, Vice President, PHA chair, Hearth Month 2019
The most important on this health forum is the education on healthy lifestyle-52100 which is 5 servings of fruits and vegestables, not more than 2 hours of screentime/not more than 2 grams of added salt; 1 hour of physical activity, 0 sugared beverages and 0 smoking, Prevention is better than a pound of cure. Also the Sneakers Friday, wear sneakers/rubber shoes to walk more, ride less. Start the habit on a Friday and do it more often.

A new television series entitled "Saludo"; that will feature the everyday heroism of the Filipinos was launched at the Camp Crame headquarters in Quezon City recently.
Police Chief Superintendent Rhodel Sermonia of the Police Community Relations Group (PCRG) under the Philippine National Police (PNP) and popular film producer Leonora Sy led the launch of the new television series which will be aired on PTV4 every Sunday at 8 p.m.
Sy said: "SALUDO is a one-hour weekly hero-serye program of PTV4. It is a compilation of stories of everyday Filipino heroes, the least-told life stories which could be the inspiration of each and every Filipino."
"This is dedicated to all the everyday heroism of the Filipino people. They all deserve the praises for whatever heroism they have shown," added Sy, executive producer of the show.
For its premier episode on Sunday, Jan. 27, "Saludo"; will feature the heroism of former Philippine National Police Chief Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa played by actor Polo Ravales.
"We will not delve into the life story of former PNP chief Bato. Well, at some point, it will be tackled a bit. But we will highlight his heroism. That you have to watch the effect of General Bato's heroism in the country's peace and order and in the economy as well," said Sermonia.
He also said: "The first episode will also touch on the issue of illegal drugs and how the government is dealing with the situation."
Sermonia added: "If you know someone who has done an act of heroism, please approach us and we will see what we can do. We need to share this heroism to the world because we want the others to be inspired and do good."
Other celebrities who attended the press launch of the new television series were Bahjo Cabauatan, director of the TV series; and Dennis Coronel Macalintal, line producer.
Also at the launch were two of the five Gwapulis - PO3 Alexander Po and PO1 Willy Quinto - who will be part of the first season of "Saludo"; Other Gwapulis who will join in the succeeding series of "Saludo" are former Mr. International PO2 Neil Perez and PO1 Richard Pangilinan.
Sermonia said that "Saludo"is also one way of reintroducing to the public the role of PCRG. "People are familiar with HPG and CIDG but the PCRG has no recall to some people. PCRG assists and helps the people in times of calamities and disasters."
