Friday, June 03, 2016




I love food, I love cooking and I'm a foodie.



This June 13, the second season of Home Foodie will make you relive your passion for food and how enormous your love is for cooking in your own kitchen all over again. Using world class San Miguel Purefoods products, you'll get to enjoy the company of Drew Arellano, Iya Villana and the three chef's while you try and cook their easy to follow, easy to do recipes while you are in your own kitchen. 



Drew did so good during season 1 and made men and women feel how easy it is for newbies to spend time in the kitchen. You'll get to discover more about yourselves, your ability to whip up realy good meals even when you're busy. Iya will also be guiding novice cooks like herself so you could at least cook for your husbands well when the time comes. She's practically going to do it live while you're watching the show, learning together with you since she's a little new at this. She's probably going to ask the same questions as you would do since she's just starting to cook.

You'll also be guided by San Miguel Purefoods culinary center experts such as Chef Llena Tan Arcenas, Chef Rne Ruz and Chef RJ Garcia in your journey as legit Home Foodies. Now remember, the show starts this June 13, 2016. It's Mondays thru Fridays right after Unang Hirit on GMA.

The New GO PLAY and GO WATCH from Alcatel

Thursday, June 02, 2016



 It looks like some gadgets are coming out with your active lifestyle in mind. We're all busy, we're all making our rounds and somehow, some way, we also keep dropping stuff. Smart phones, smart watches, they're all a bit expensive but one bump, one drop would get that moment of ownership ruin it for you and get your precious gadget still be the same worth as when you bought it. Heck we all try top put stuff on it just to protect it right? We all have that goal to still have it as pristine as when we open that cellophane covered box that it came with. This applies to most of us, and we're darn worried if it doesn't go our way.

Alcatel has just released the new GO line. They're calling it GO PLAY which is the smartphone, then the GO WATCH which is the one that comes with it.

These new Alcatel devices can GO with you wherever you want to go. That means your right to play outside, take a dive and accidentally dropping your phone and watch will all be fine as the GO PLAY phone and GO WATCH time piece are water resistant, more easy to clean, even shockproof so you can do your everyday errands without worrying about these gadgets in your possession. They even made drop tests, which would be a no no on some brands, but the phone would still function. I'd be excited to do that too when heavens above get me a demo unit. 


 As you can see, they've got really good colors available. They also have free waterproof headset available for the device, no need to be sold separately. Imagine yourself doing all those sport activities and perspiring like a pic without thinking about how your phone is going to get ruined, they really did something good. They even priced it around Php 6,999, which is much of a bargain if you compare it with some similarly spec'd phones. The GO WATCH can get your use of the phone really easy by letting it take your text messages, social networking sites, calls and emails right there and there. You don't really need to look at your phone much and do some tasks on the watch as is. Now that's ingenuity.




The GO WATCH can also last 2-5 days, depending on how you would want to abuse it. The charging takes a few hours, pretty affordable too at Php 3,799 with all those features. Now that's a smart watch. It even takes a step further by watching your emotions as it measures your condition with internal gyroscopes, a heart rate sensor and accelero-meter, something that's not present in other brands. If you've got that measured, you can liberally put that thought and emotion right on your social media account or your watch's face. A feature that I would probably test a lot of when in touch with the watch! Anyway, just the mere thought of having one of these available in the Philippines is great news. I hope it'll sell well like that flagship product they had a couple of years ago. Although I know they're still doing good these days!

Mister Donut Outs New Bavarian Doubles Flavors!


I super love Bavarian filled donuts. I don't know how my affinity with it started but I know how much I always want to have whole FunPasalubong Box to bring along to my friends when I go out of town. I love the Mister Donut Bavarian filled donuts because they put enough of it in every piece. Don't you just feel cheated when all you need is a decent doughnut and the one you get is half filled? Or worse, not even enough to say that you get your money's worth. Mister Donut has already impressed me with their lovely brewed coffee. When they came out with Bavarian flavored doughnuts, they even doubled the filling with "Bavarian Doubles". The line made us love Bavarian all over again as they combine 2 of your favorite flavors in one doughnut. The difference? You don't get that unhealthy intense sweetness, they do it just right.

Now think of some of your favorite desserts. This summer, I've always wanted to go to Guimaras and swim in the plaza where they held the Mango Festival. They served unlimited sweet golden mangoes which I absolutely love! Aside from that, I've been so addicted to the pastillas in Bulacan which they intricately (and artfully) decorate the wrappers too. Since Mister Donut is smart, they want these two elements to be in your favorite Bavarian line. They combined the two fillings and dubbed thee as "Mangostillas"!



Now you can have two amazing flavors in one Bavarian doughnut. The Bavarian Doubles line also now is paving the way for other combinations  like the "Chocoyema" which combines rich thick Choco Fudge and the lovely milky favorite "Yema". Aside from these surprising revelations, they also went ahead with the same Choco Fudge Bavarian filling with the original Bavarian variety. They call this the "Chocovarian" which is still as creamy as ever with lovely chocolate swirls when you bite into it. You should really see the commercial. Albeit a little crazy, the twins would actually make you smile from ear to ear.



The new flavors won't disappoint you because they won't give you much of a problem on how they made it in the first place. You won't be complaining about the filling as they've got a sufficient amount of it in every piece, unlike the others who just put less of it, quality assurance would be crying haha!

Yes, the  Bavarian Doubles is available now on all Mister Donut branches and I'm actually going to their branch near my place to have these lovely donuts for me, my family, some of my friends who have been good to me. The other bad friends can go ahead and enjoy their substandard half filled doughnuts, I don't mind LOL!

Thirsty? Grab an Oishi Smart C+ Dalandan Burst!



Is it the end of summer already? Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's raining like cats and dogs in Quezon City but I don't mind picking up a bottle or two of Oishi Smart C+. I haven't been taking Vitamin C tablets nor multivitamin supplements because I'm not really fond of the tablet form. These days, we need all the help we can get so having this on a hot day like today, is but a welcome treat.


Oishi Smart C+ is also now available in Dalandan Burst Flavor, a local citrus fruit that's a little sweet and tangy. Filipinos love this variant because it's refreshing. Having this with Vitamin C in a drink is just so right in so many levels.


I had it with really good ensaymada from BHotel a few days ago. I could imagine having it also with rice cakes and even lunch or dinner. It's not going to spoil any meal, but provides what Vitamin C requirement you may have for a single day. Isn't that amazing?


So if you still have out of town trips, swimming sessions with friends and family to cap off the summer season, take a bottle or a whole box with you and keep your group hydrated and get the Vitamin C dose they need so they're active and fun all day!

Oishi Smart C+ Dalandan Burst is available in all convenience stores, big supermarkets and groceries near you. If you happen to pass by a 7-11, it's on their refrigerators so grab one if you're thirsty. I've had a lot this week and I feel great!
