CLEAR Dream Match: The Draft 2014


Have you already voted? Or not? Well, you guys and gals have the power to choose among Team Phil or Team James on who will have the right to choose their legends just by tweeting or posting on Instagram. If you post these two hashtags #TeamPhil #ClearDreamMatch it will be Phil Younghusband who's going to choose the legend, but if you post #TeamJames #ClearDreamMatch then it will be James Younghusband who's going to choose between football greats Dennis Wise the former captain of Chelsea FC and World Cup winner or former Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro. This also includes Manchester United's Paul Scholes and Andy Cole who will also join this year's festivities.

I also saw some of the last slots for Team Phil and Team James getting filled up! Check out these guys!


Some of these guys are prodigies. Even at a young age, they performed quite well in their respective football clubs. Now they're part of a bigger league that only Clear can deliver!


In the end, Team James ended up with mostly Meralco Sparks members.

Team Phil

Balot Doctora (Stallion FC)
John Cain (Army-GTI FC)
Matthew Hartmann (Loyola Meralco Sparks)
PJ Fadrigalan (Loyola Meralco Sparks)
Nick O’ Donnell (Kaya FC)
Roxy Dorlas (Loyola Meralco Sparks)
Kenny Daniels (Kaya FC)
Tating Pasilan (Green Archers United)
Yoshiharu Koizumi (Amateur)
Darius Joseph Diamante (Amateur)
Patrick Deyto (Green Archers United)



The big men on the other hand ended up with Team James. It was a mix for him.

Team James

Steve Yambou (Pachanga FC)
Jeffrey Christiaens (Global FC)
Andrew Liauw (Kaya FC)
Dae Han Kang (Army-GTI FC)
Marvin Angeles (Ceres FC)
Lee Joo Young (Loyola Meralco Sparks)
Chieffy Caligdong (Green Archers United)
Emmanuel Mbata (Kaya FC)
Roland Sadia (Global FC)
Francisco Jose Primo Santos (Amateur)
Eduard SacapaƱo (Army-GTI FC)


The games will be played in the University of Makati. Last year was really tough because they had to battle it out in the rain and the rough muddy terrain in that place. Team James won overwhelmingly but Phil says he still wins by points overall. This game will settle the score. Believe me, the more good looking brother will prevail and have bragging rights for the year!

So make sure you gather your friends and go to University of Makati grounds this coming June 7, 2014. Wish Team James all the luck in the world! :)

Glucerna: Ask the Diabetes Experts!


Want good news first? I've been taking the Glucerna meal replacement thing a try and I did lose 2 inches off my waist. I haven't really changed my diet but that's already a good thing because I've been wanting to wear fitter clothes especially because it's summer. We're gonna get there somehow. 

I haven't really checked with a real doctor about having diabetes but I have a hunch that I'll probably have it soon as I've been doomed getting it from Mom and Dad. I learned though that my assumption had basis but of course I could actually prolong or also not have it, there's always a chance. Dr. Sjoberg Kho of the Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism who hails from UST's Faculty of Medicine and Surgery says the way to go is lifestyle intervention. This includes special nutrition which could later delay or even prevent the onset of prediabetes and your being at risk. Clinical trials have already shown that Gluccerna Triple Care has helped manage weight and reduce the risk of cardiovascular risk in diabetes. This coincides with a certified diabetes management plan that includes proper diet and physical exercise.

 
Dr. Jose Dimaano Jr., the current Medical Director of Abbot Nutrition Philippines adds that Glucerna Triple Care offers the unparalleled combination of managing blood sugar levels, supporting heart health and weight management. I've seen and felt how this happens, in my case I think my sugar absorption is lessened or totally blocked when taking Glucerna. This shows in excretions, but I'm not sure if that is actually caused by taking Glucerna during replacement periods. Although, it makes perfect sense if that is the effect. If you would like to take advantage of the Glucerna 1-2-3 challenge, download the apps from the App Store or Google Play or visit the website https://www.glucerna123challenge.com.ph. It's also going to hook you up with a loyalty rewards program every time you update your health profile and include your physical activities online. 



I've already taken some steps to follow the plan, how about you?!

P.S. Most people love the Chocolate flavor but I dig the Vanilla more! Make sure you have both at home so you can take whatever you want for that day!
