Electrolux's BIG Sale on Small Appliances

It looks like you're in for a great week now that Electrolux just announced their BIGGEST sale on small appliances from May 28th to the 30th at their new office in W 5th Avenue Building in Bonifacio Global City. It's located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 32nd Street, just go to the 10th floor and see their live kitchen too. Just ask nicely.

Oh and just so you know, I've got 4 microwave ovens spread around my house (for quick cooking) and the great vacuum cleaner from Electrolux that is art of my arsenal in cleaning. You can save up to 50% off on these small appliances which you can use for businesses or just at home. If that isn't reason enough to visit them, then maybe the blenders, rice cookers, coffee machines and flat irons might convince you. Don't tell them I told you! :P

New Lifestyle Show "Fun With Philip" at GMA News TV

If you've been watching him in TV5 these past few months and thinking of what happened to his show, well it looks like he's bearing good news. An afternoon at the Crispy Pata haven Livestock Restaurant and Bar at Sgt. Esguerra in Quezon City answered all our questions about Philip The Lifestyle Guy. This time, you'll be seeing him in GMA News TV Channel 11 and it'll be called "Fun with Philip".

Philip Abadicio has been doing this beat for years even when he started putting up his PR company a long time ago; and part of that's dealing with lifestyle. It was at this time that he deemed it his calling. His mantra is to make this show as accessible to everyone as he believes lifestyle news isn't just for the rich and famous.

Asked if they are reformatting the show, Philip says that in a recent survey in Inquirer shows that the reason why the program works is because it is in a "constant state of flux" - meaning that it does not have a specific formula and you don't know if they'll talk about food today or if a contest will happen. They will be doing the same thing once they transfer to GMA News TV but looks forward to add more features like asking people who watch the show to send in letters of their lifestyle issues so they can help in whatever way they can. 

 

Online and on air, they will still continue to bring bigger and better contests for the viewers because they've already gotten a tremendous amount of people following their promos. They will also introduce "Fun Kicks" - a group of individuals that would be able to accurately answer your questions since Philip wants this to be a more informative show. We also do sometimes forget that we need to course our program to a more holistic one - and advocacy aspect to answer questions about spiritual, fitness, fashion and beauty. 

 

The show will air at 3PM every Saturday and Sunday. You can only do so much to surprise people but Philip says he wants to do that and not bore those who watch his show. He hopes to show how it is out there and have them experience it themselves. Philip adds "We're trying to not have it to be too celebrity-ish and put real people in the show. When it come to the other aspects, I'll try to have it be discussed by subject matter experts themselves. This is a new and exciting show!". The show is Directed by Tootoots Leyesa and Written by former Wowowee head writer Rod Divinagracia who was in Boracay and couldn't be there that afternoon.

Watch out also for the new segments "Kwentuhang Kumot" where Philip interviews stars under the sheets. Also in the program is American Jeffrey Whitney that he'll tour and taste with around the Philippines while interviewing him in Filipino. Lucky Mercado will also be in "Lucky Strikes" as the goes around the places where Philip is... and plays an arrogant machismo driven dude - let's see how that turns out in the story. I've also seen Madam Venus tell street dwellers their fortunes and that was hilarious... she's the next Mommy D! Let Bryan Santos also teach you the latest workout and fitness routines right in the gym on his portion as an "Exercise Expert" plus see Hilda Ehrenberg strut her stuff on the runway as fashion diva "Bru-Hilda" takes a snap on what's new in the fashion industry. Hope she'll be as busy as I am this Fashion Week!

I wish you all the luck on your show in this new station! I'll be looking forward to seeing you more outside the studios as well. Lifestylers, let's watch this show 3PM every Saturdays and Sundays on GMA News TV!

The Secret Is Out! The Shakey's Pizza 1954!

The secret they've been brewing has been finally revealed a few days ago. It's the ultimate tasty throwback as Shakey's introduces the Pizza 1954 which is now available in all their stores nationwide!  

This coincides with their 60th year and it'll be something that wouldn't be the same pizza every time it goes out of the kitchen because this will be 100% hand made. Now think of hand tossed gourmet dough crust seasoned with fresh rosemary and basil leaves, spiced Italian sausage, Angus beef, red onions, pepperoni slices,  parmesan and 100% mozarella cheese. If that wouldn't satisfy your cravings for a classy gourmet pizza, I don't know what will.

At Php 450, this is really a steal. Aside from that, you can get your favorite group meals pizza traded for the Pizza 1954. If you're happy with that, they take it up a notch by giving you a chance to win a brand new MINI too! (Ask about it by calling their hotline 77777!) Wow! Jaws dropped, loved what you ate, then win a car? Crazy right? Well they're not done yet as they mentioned they'll be coming up with even MORE pizza flavors and other products this year. Hope you'll be ready for that too!

Ms. Koi Castillo, the brand manager for Shakey's says "This is truly and innovation for Shakey's since we are the first in the pizza category to offer contemporary gourmet pizza. We will further develop this new category of Shakey's pizza and create more iconic products for our guests".

That night, I even brought my friends from the Red Tribe to Shakey's in Quezon Avenue. They took care of us like long lost friends. They recommended the Pizza 1954 right off the bat and my friends enjoyed it! Kudos to our server Cath for taking care of us all throughout our stay in Shakey's, she even put our pizzas on plates and served drinks like clockwork. That's great service right there. Thank you Shakey's for bringing us a new pizza flavor, now we'll enjoy this gourmet pizza every time we get to Shakey's near our place. Now if you're craving for it, you should too! Get that Pizza 1954 on your table soon!

Bela Padilla Visits P.A.W.S.

Gorgeous on a hot sunny day, Bela Padilla celebrated a worthy birthday at PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society's Rehab Center). She might be a good actress and model in our eyes but what I saw that afternoon was a different side of her. She actually adores kids and the elderly but when asked how to celebrate her birthday this year, she thought about the plight of the cute little animals and this foundation. It's something different but very close to her heart.

Together with Belavers (her official fan club) and us, we proceeded to get to know the facility found in Quezon City. It's right underneath the bridge going to Marikina. The place currently only holds abandoned cats and dogs. It's not a pound so they can't hold everything and they don't put down animals like your local pound. Bela donated food and cleaning materials for the shelter because it's something that they really need. If you have time and resources to do this, I suggest you bring along your friends and get involved. Bela and the Belavers even prepared their food that afternoon. They made food servings for the cats and dogs in different cages. There are a lot and some of them are really not in good condition. There are even some of them in the ICU cage that the lone veterinarian is taking care of. Mind you, they have 2 operating tables and only 1 vet for the whole facility. There are hundreds of cats there, I don't even know how they're doing it but I think the volunteers have a lot to do with it.

PAWS Shelter Director Ms. Heidi Guzon says that some pet owners fail to think long and hard about the responsibilities of pet ownership before they actually get a pet. She also encourages that before getting one, one should consider getting those from a shelter first. The rescued cats and dogs from these establishments are taken cared of, given the right amount of cure then trained physically and psychologically. When they are ready, they confirm if the pets are good for adoption and screen owners as a process. This would make sure that the receiving families would surely take care of these cats and dogs. Something that would benefit both the pets and those that would adopt them.
