Try The Vitasoy Plus Milky Banana Oat Smoothie

It's so hot out today and I'm pretty exhausted because of the weather. I wanted to have something real cool and filling so I wouldn't just collapse on the side of the road. I've tried Vitasoy Plus Milky a couple weeks ago and honestly, it was one of the most refreshing drinks I've tried this season.

It doesn't feel much different from actual creamy milk but a little nutty, so I was actually cool with it if it came into something fancy like a drink with things on it. This is a smoothie recipe from the good folks at Vitasoy. It also takes a few ingredients at home to make something real good.

Here are the ingredients:

1/2 cup oats (which you can blend or soak in milk overnight)
1 Cavendish banana
1 tbsp Pure Honey
1 cup Vitasoy Plus Milky

Just put ingredients in a blender and wait for a few minutes. You can leave it more than 2 minutes if you would like to make it smooth, but if you would like it a little chunky, a blitz of a minute would be so fine. You can even play around with the recipe by using your own favorite fruit or fruits in season. 

If you're in the Philippines, you can use mangoes, add soy milk and it's going to be one of the best things you'll ever have as refreshments. There are more recipes over at Vitasoy Philippines Facebook page, you should go get info there!

Lianhua Qingwen Gets Provisionally Off from List of Dangerous Drugs

If you are looking for the status of Lianhua Qingwen, the Dangerous Drugs Board set out Board Regulations for it and published it this year. They have deliberated about it for a few months, and with record cases surging per day this week, it would be something good to have as an herbal solution for symptoms like fever, sore throat, cough, stuffy or runny nose, aversion to cold, muscle soreness, headache and wheezing. Fine print is here:

What this means is that S2 prescription from doctors to get Lianhua Qingwen are not required.  This is traditional chinese medicine brought to the country by Phil. Archipelago Intl. Trading Corp. They are still awaiting for it to be re-classified to an "over the counter" product by FDA. Here's their FDA registration.

Currently this is being sold in the market for Php 288.00 per box of 24 capsules. With the DDB decision, the regulation of it takes effect 15 days after publication, which in their case is March 12th of 2021. Lianhua Qingwen is now available in Mercury Drug branches and other leading pharmacies nationwide.

If you would like to know more about Lianhua Qungwen and its benefits, you may visit their official website www.philarchipelago.com or call them via (02) 8361-7491 to 98 loc. 844. Ask your doctor if this could help you. It may be a good thing to do that first before taking anything orally. 

Stay healthy peeps!

Keep Yourselves Protected with Unilever Hygiene 101 Kit on Shopee

Today, more than ever is a moment that we should reflect on things. Just recently, they announced 9,595 individuals have been declared COVID-19 positive. That's a scary number and it shouldn't be taken lightly. I've been an advocate of grooming, especially for men, of which some have clearly no idea what to do with products that are tailored fit for us. Aside from that, I'm sure everyone is in a hurry to make sure that their surroundings are clean, and I'm so glad companies like UNILEVER is making sure their products are now more accessible to consumers. 

This March 27-29, they are having a HYGIENE 101 sale on popular shopping app Shopee. Hygiene products from the official UNILEVER store will have up to 50% OFF regular price and several discount bundles will be done so you can get more for the price you pay for it. Aside from that, they will also give away free gifts and give away discount vouchers exclusive on this store (https://shopee.ph/unilever_personalcare).

Every lovers favorite toothpaste Closeup Cool Mint comes in a value twin pack taking 50% OFF on the second tube's price. I like this because it's sharp and minty, plus it makes teeth shiny. It's also anti cavity and anti bacterial, it would be good if you're breathing fresh too during these times when we're often masked up all day.  (https://shp.ee/r72wkevhttps://shp.ee/r72wkev)

I've used the new Lifebuoy products recently, and I can't get it out of my head. The fragrance is just amazing, not to mention how it rids of bacteria. Washing hands, and the body, is essential especially in this weird year. So make sure you don't run out of soap during these days, I'd like to panic but since this is readily available on Shopee, I won't have to. You can see it here https://shp.ee/ku7zndb. If you think the price is steep for the hand wash, don't even think so because a little of it goes a long way. I've had it in our home for several months now because I saw how cost effective each bottle is.https://shp.ee/r72wkevhttps://shp.ee/r72wkev

Cif on the other hand can take care of different surfaces. If you are cleaning your sofa, your bed, different kinds of material, Cif can take care of that. You can get it from here https://shp.ee/t4az3ft and it will be a cinch to clean those areas you don't know how to start with.

I always clean the bathroom and without these two, it would be so tough to do it. It doesn't make the floor sandy, nor does it leave chemical marks on the tiles. This makes it easy to clean up, I usually just initially clean with a scrub, then put these on the tiles and surfaces, then leave it for a few minutes. I wash it again and scrub some more, then it will make everything clean. I also make sure I wipe things dry because being wet is the best friend of germs, this helps me get rid of them. Go get them here and make sure you use voucher codes okay? Check here https://shp.ee/nvpq2rt

Surf has always been my go to washing machine detergent and fabric conditioner. It's not expensive either and they have it in bigger packs. Plus it smells nice and minty even if I have to hang clothes in not so sunny parts of my garage. You can get the fabric conditioner here https://shp.ee/g9bw9x9

If you've got a bit of stains in what you are cleaning, go for Breeze as it gets rid of that and bacteria too. I always want to have that bacteria removing feature because you can't really be too sure these days. People perspire a lot too because of summer so it would be really best for that.  You can get Breeze here https://shp.ee/jgztjdb

If you would like a discount on these items, use the code UNIHYGIENE101 so you can get a lot off for purchases more than Php 1,199 (minimum). Other than that, there's always free shipping and lots of discounts in app that you can use so you get delivery fees waived if you plan to make your hygiene measures a reality today. Download the Shopee app too because most discounts happen there. It's available on the App Store and Google Play, go get them tiger!

Get Ready for SING GALING!

It was a hit show in the late 90's which lasted for a couple years, but if there is someone who deserves a reboot, it is the hit show SING GALING. It was then ABC5's nationally renowned karaoke competition that puts to the test the Filipino's knowledge of their national pastime.

This time, the hosts will be 80's icon Randy Santiago, the Philippines Jessie J comedienne Ms. K Brosas and funny power belter Donita Nose. Judges will include legendary Rey Valera, Jessa Zaragoza, and crooner Ronnie Liang. They will also have YouTuber Zendee host the online show plus several Tiktok artists to cover parts of the show (that will also be Tiktok performance driven). A lot of people liked the previous format, but this will be a lot different from the late 90's show. As Director Mel Feliciano puts it, people will see how contestants progress in each round. After being the champion of the day, you will get to battle it out with the next day's contestant so you kinda get a larger amount if you beat the next day champ too. Your prize will also depend on the number of words you mention correctly in a song, so you've really got to brush up with the lyrics.

Ray Valera, Jessa Zaragoza, Ronnie Liang mentioned that this wouldn't be like other game shows where they would require absolute perfection on the way people are singing the pieces because as you would know, much of these songs will be just a surprise. So in way, they know you won't know the songs 100 percent, which makes sense if they see you missing a word or two of it. Here's part of the interview we had with them this afternoon.

 

 

Anyway, it'll start on Mondays through Fridays at 6:30PM. They want to also be part of your dinner habits so if its possible, they want to you watch with your family during that time. Go get ready for your stint in SING GALING!

Make Clothes, Fabrics, COVID Free with NATUCAIR

Being clean these days is not just a need, but a necessity. With the pandemic, we're all confined in the comforts of our own home and try to live day by day, to survive and hope the numbers go down in the country. While that ain't happening yet, we follow government protocols, safety procedures that make sense, and just about anything that would make sure we won't be causing the spread of it in our own homes. 

You've got your alcohol, hand wash and cleaning stuff for your body, but when it comes to fabric, what do you do? Well for starters, you use things like Natucair. This fabric and linen spray from Earth Corporation just disclosed their ground breaking research about it ridding of 99.9% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in suspension. The research was done in Japan Textile Products Quality and Technology Center in
Kobe, Japan. Yuya Suzuki of Earth Corporation's Research and Development team says "We areso happy for our team of scientists and researchers who made this groundbreaking confirmation about Natucair. Filipinos should have options of products that help them stay safe from the dangers of COVID-19. We’re glad Natucair is on that list!"

With the recent announcements of daily cases that surged to 9,838 (which is super alarming!) as announced by the Department of Health, we all have to make sure we have every base covered. If a person goes out for errands, or get their clothes compromised whether its polyester, poly-cotton and 100% cotton. This also applies for healthcare workers who need to take home and wash their clothes or their inner wear. Natucair takes care of what you wear against bacteria, germs and viruses.

These days, you can never be sure so taking extra precaution against the dreaded virus is always welcome. If you haven't had one, maybe it's time you get Natucair.

KC Concepcion and Erwan Heussaff for the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED and ASUS ZenBook Duo 14

Two Zenbooks got launched a few days ago from our friends over at ASUS. It was nice to see people actually using it for the right reasons, first was Erwan Heussaff who did so many things with the ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 and the other was gorgeous KC Concepcion for the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED.

Erwan is a content creator, restaurateur and an entrepreneur. His day consists of so many things to work on and if he's going to have a buddy to be with him to finish things, the ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 was a good companion. It's got an 11th Gen Intel Core Processor, an NVIDIA MX450 and an Intel Iris X GPU, all of which accommodated his multi tasking lifestyle. The ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 has a 16 GB RAM which can put to work a second monitor (for dual touchscreen) so you can view and work on different projects at the same time. Aside from that, it's got a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD so opening different programs from photo to video editing is a cinch. This time, the ScreenPad plus also adjusts with the Ergolift so you can see both displays clearly (7 degrees) and maintain good temperature for the whole laptop.

Aside from being an actress, KC Concepcion has several businesses on her belt including designing jewelry. In it, she has to be very meticulous and detailed oriented hence the need for accurate displays like the one on the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED has an FHD OLED Nanoedge display so she sees more of the things she's working on.  It also has an 11th Gen Intel Core Processor and an Intel Iris X GPU. The stunning display is an OLED FHD with 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut so you only see detailed and true-to-life colors which KC appreciates when she needs to check gems. She feels this would also be good for those who are into editing content, design, production or any color critical work. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED also has 70% less harmful blue light so it would be less harmful for the eyes. People spend hours working on laptops these days and it could really hurt sometimes, blue light actually does that. ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED reproduces true blacks, so you get crisp looking images even on darkest settings, though you can still see the details because of the high contrast it gives. This is also very thin and light but didn't have to lessen ports so if you need to have it connected to other screens, projectors or devices, the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED can still do that. Battery life is also phenomenal, it can last up to 13 hours without the need of plugging it to a wall.  

 

 

 

The ASUS ZenBook Duo 14, Intel® EVO variant with an 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, 16GB Memory and 512GB SSD storage costs Php 79,995 while the one equipped with an 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce® MX450 Graphics with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD costs Php 99,995. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED on the other hand costs Php 59,995. If you want to know more about the two ZenBooks, you may visit http://bit.ly/ASUSZenBook13OLEDWTB or http://bit.ly/ASUSZenBookDuo14WTB.

Binge watching is something that you can do with your family or your special someone. K Drama these days talk about romance, coming of age films, action, even fantasy.

Comfy Mid Rise Condo Living at BRIA Homes Astra Vertical Villages

 

It's super nice to see condominiums these days have reflected what Filipinos need in properties. They want it to be practical, convenient but still have style. Condominium units are homes too and if it comes affordable, it shouldn't be shortchanged with amenities that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

From restaurants, banks, schools, places of work, everything should be accessible for them to have a comfortable condo lifestyle. It's why BRIA Homes has introduced the Astra Vertical Villages. They've constantly been championing a cause of making their properties very affordable and maintain quality. They were not joking about that because as it stands,  you can get these for Php 10,000 a month. Aside from that, you also get access to a communal clubhouse, function halls, swimming pools, spacious play areas and a gym facility.

BRIA Homes President Red Rosales says "The Astra Vertical Villages are not like those drab and dreary residential towers in the big cities. Unit owners here can enjoy cozy and intimate co-living in elegant walk-up buildings because here,  comfort comes with financial practicality. Our units are all at excellent budget-friendly prices.”

There will be several Astra Vertical Villages that will be up in different cities including General Trias in Cavite, also in the city of Calamba in Laguna, also one in Cagayan de Oro in Misamis Oriental. They have made these all strategically located in business districts and lifestyle centers so owners can live comfortably. For the General Trias and Astra Calamba property, it will have 11 buildings, 880 units and 237 parking lots in a two hectare land. It will be all four-story mid-rises as it is meant to be for low density living. Their 24-square-meter units are designed to house a bedroom, dining and kitchen area, living area and toilet and bath. Astra Calamba will also have their own wet and dry market, a food park, whilst Astra General Trias will have provisions for a school. All their properties also come with round the clock CCTV coverage, guarded gates and reception areas. You may check out tours at their official site https://www.bria.com.ph/ or their FB page as it's all there!

It would be so exciting to live in communities like these!

Self Expression and Self Care with the Vivo Y31

 

Still locked down, with different terms used, but still the same potato. I'm sure just like me, you are stuck at home trying to make ends meet, trying to make sense of it all. These days, if you don't have anything to keep you sane, it'll be doubly hard to survive. These days, people look for outlets for self expression, the arts, to also preserve memories so you can reminisce on it later on. It's pretty tough not to have that with mental health, so we have to do what we can to take our mind off things, or maybe a little entertainment. 

Photography, or making video content these days have now become easier with the eve of smartphones that can take even better shots sometimes than professional cameras. It's more powerful, you can even use the same phone to edit it and share the experience with family and friends at a flick of a button. The peeps from vivo didn't only donate stuff and PPE for front liners during this pandemic, they realized the importance of elevating the smartphone experience and did several campaigns over the years that would do just that for Filipinos and the rest of the world.

For the vivo v19 phones they did the Ignite Your Night campaign to show users how they can take advantage of the night photography and gaming capabilities of their phones. Aside from that, they also did one for the v20 series called Be The Focus to showcase the selfie camera capabilities of the phone. This 2021 they are getting you involved in "ALL DAY FUN" with the Y31 which is a budget phone but last so long because of its 5000mAh battery. Photos, videos, gaming, it can do all that without costing too much plus you get a chance to pursue enjoyable hobbies, that would make you happy, which is way better for your mind too.

Who would have known doing several campaigns would result to that right? It's a good thing. If you want to know more about the vivo Y31, you may check out information on https://www.facebook.com/vivo.philippines or their website https://www.vivoglobal.ph/. If you want to get one, they have their official stores on Shopee and Lazada, you'll get good deals there too!

POCO Launches POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro

The POCO F3

Two phones from POCO have been launched this evening. One is the one they call "The Real Beast" the POCO F3 and the other is called the POCO X3 Pro.  These smartphones are equipped with very powerful processors as the F3 carries a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 5G while the other X3 Pro has a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 860.

In the power department, the POCO F3 has a 4520mAh battery which is more than enough for daily use while the X31 Pro has a 5160mAh battery so you don't need to stop playing those games you love. Although, you can actually charge it fast because the F3 and X3 Pro has a  33W fast chargers, which would be pretty good for those who want things done fast and don't have much wait times.

The POCO X3 Pro

Both phones run on MIUI 12 for POCO based on Android 11 OS so it's quite easy to use because the environment it wants to make is of course, user friendly. Whether you are an iOS fanatic or already have an Android phone, using a POCO phone won't make you regret that decision to switch. I haven't had the chance to do hands on, but from the looks of it, the things they've shown earlier during the stream look quite nice, hope we can have a unit loaned for unboxing soon.
