The New Magnum Red Velvet

I can't believe my eyes. I must be seeing things. Two of my most favorite desserts just got into one good, delightful, a little sinful ice cream bar. Yes, the newest flavor that they've come up with is the MAGNUM Red Velvet. 

It's like thick ice cream with the flavor of red velvet cake, a little tangy and sweet with super moist cream cheese notes. Then if that's not enough, they pour a rich milky white chocolate outer shell that cracks when you bite into it.

Here's some excerpts from the launch:

If you haven't tasted it yet, you're missing a lot! Go ahead and grab them all, together with the white almond and other flavors that MAGNUM has in groceries, stores and shops nationwide! 

It's really GOOD!

Winning with the Philam Vitality Active Mobile App

Who's been struggling with weight? I know, I am. I don't even go to the gym anymore because I get stressed rather than getting healthy. I stopped like a year and a half ago and gained some weight. It was also pretty hard to lose and I had to remove a couple of things on my diet. I also had some tests done on which food I wasn't meant to be eating (not for allergies but for food intolerance) and that meant I had to cut back on milk, bread and rice. I do what I can to at least live a happy life and try not to deprive myself because I still enjoy food. Other than that, I need a lot of great encouragement so I could work out. Good thing I'm winning with the Philam Vitality Active Mobile App.

You see, the Philippines didn't fair well in Asia Pacific last year and it is getting worse. This is not good news and Philam Life knew it had got to be a part of the solution to make each Filipino be a part of the Philam Vitality program. This has been going on since 2015 and the gist was to make you make better decisions about your wellness like what they are doing with this Philam Vitality Active App. The program has been successful and they wanted this to be a bit more interactive and this will get you a little more excited taking extra steps, extra mile and effort to do that exercise regimen you've always wanted to do. The app actually will reward you if you are able to achieve weekly goals which I did with a pedometer on my iPhone's Health App. Here's how you can get it.

Download the Philam Vitality Active App on your phone. You can get it on Google Play here and iOS here.

After installing, register for a FREE ACCOUNT then if it asks for a code enter activemika OR activealyssa. It should proceed with the registration. Make sure you put in your correct details because I assure you this will be worth it. You'll get to earn REWARDS after each accomplished goal.

You would need something to measure your activity so it would be best if you have an Apple Watch or Fitbit or anything that would function as a pedometer. Since I couldn't find my Fitbit and Android watch, I used the built in Health App on iOS and it actually worked great. After you've set it up, connect it to your phone and click on Link Device Or App option on the Philam Vitality Active App. The iOS Health App actually works like when you walk on the Pokemon GO game where you can't really cheat. It doesn't count when you're moving too fast so don't even try. Aside from that, other apps can work well too like Runkeeper or Strava. There will be corresponding points for each activity but I did the walking since I don't have that much time in my hands as I cover events almost every day. You can read about it on the help option of the Philam Vitality Active Mobile App. The App through a series of questions can tell you your Vitality age which could be more or less your actual age. Try not to be depressed because it's fixable.

The Vitality app can track your exercise routines, the number of steps you make and set goals for you in a week. If you get the goals achieved, then you get rewarded. But if not, you can try again the week after that. It took me 3 weeks to actually finish my first task because I was really busy, and didn't know my Health App wasn't counting things as it wasn't running in the background the first week. I got that corrected and joined other people traveling so I could enjoy the walking activity. It was so hard for me because again, I was using the Health App LOL! So if you have wearable technology, try that instead because it's easier.

I'll have to update this post about my progress, but you need to download the app now so you get the perks that I will eventually will have. There, I am claiming it! I'll update this entry soon so stay tuned!

UPDATE:

After two weeks of achieving my goal of 7500 a day, the app just rewarded me today!

Suddenly the REWARDS section of the Philam Vitality App was enabled and now I can claim what I just walked countless steps and tons of kilometers for.

The app gets you the option to choose SM Cinema Tickets, a FREE game to SM Bowling, 1 Hour of Free Ice Skating, FREE Entrance to Exploreum, one FREE movie rental with streaming service BLINK, 200 Prepaid and Postpaid load with a network carrier, 200 peso GrabCar Credits, 200 pesos off your Lazada online shopping purchase, and 200 off your AGODA booking. Now how's that for motivation? How's that for your next workout? Wouldn't that make you happy? Working out has never been this much fun eh? Go download it now and enjoy the perks while it lasts! 

We are winning! Well no, we won!

Gabbi Garcia Does Pantene Asian Campaign And This Months Preview Cover

In a short luncheon today, we had the opportunity to talk to Gabbi Garcia; GMA's new premier leading lady who just graced the newest PANTENE commercial and this months cover for PREVIEW Magazine. These two big projects came at an opportune time when she's already doing the huge show Encantadia as the franchise's Alena. 

Gabbi says "It was so awesome to see everyone flew in for me, all the best people in the industry who did Pantene's commercial with Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding, in an isolated place and I was lucky to be there. There were all cottages, I went in an RV, there were a lot of firsts and it felt so real that I was able to experience that. We did rehearsals and I was able to drive the mustang. The place was so big and had salt that glisten when the sun hits it. My stylist was also from Hollywood and getting to hear their stories gave me goosebumps that I was working with them. It was a very fun experience, once in a lifetime and I had no idea if it would turn out well. It felt like wow, and it will be shown in Asia and Australia. It's a different feeling and it's good that Ruru and I got to do things individually. I'm not closing my doors for anything, I would like to accept all the projects and see what's going to happen. There are opportunities individually but we're still together and when we entered Encantadia we got to work with people. Ara is a great girl and Ruru is happy for me, those news about separation made me laugh because we always see each other. There's no issue between us, we're just artists who also grow. I also feel it's not the right time to join Binibini. Maybe they saw something in me, I wasn't playing roles, I told them my story and it's inspiring to know people believe in me so much. I think I was just being Gabby, and I feel blessed and I'm proud of what is happening. I think the magazine cover is about switching from teeny bopper roles to more mature ones. The shoot was high fashion and I think I'm growing as a person. It's something like a step closer detaching from that stage. Ruru was happy for me, he said it's happening and he was happy for me. We do not pull each other down and he supports me in everything I do. It wasn't planned to have my cover for this month, Pantene just came in on the magazine when they heard about it and it was a great opportunity, it was just the perfect timing. I've been dreaming to really get there, and with Artist Center's help I realy hope it does. I feel so good, that the network and Artist Center understand me very well. I'm very sure this is a give and take relationship, when they give me a project I'll make sure I would do good and I always want to give it all back."

"My mom and dad were all so happy, I got rejected 50 times and I only book 3, seeing them be happy for me was priceless. They have supported me eversince, without them I would be lost. They always tell me what I need to do, to walk the path. It feels so empowering to be called a fashion icon and if I do it right, to inspire teens, people my age. I do go with trends but I prefer classic pieces, less is more and I'm very minimalist. I look up to my Mom and I admire her the most. I could say that she's someone I would like to be when I grew up. Australia was fun, I also got to Bondi Beach and it was a surfing place with lots of sharks so I only took a lot of selfies."

Gabbi will still be doing a lot of shows with GMA and if the opportunity arises of working abroad because of the exposure she'll get from this commercial since this will be seen in different countries across the Asia Pacific, perhaps other parts of the world.

Congratulations Gabbi! I'm sure this won't be the end of it because you are still young, and gots lots of time to achieve your dreams!

Build Your Own Smart Postpaid Plans Starting at 399

How much data do you use when you're binging so much during that rainy afternoon on K Dramas, iFlix, Youtube and Fox+? How much data do you think I use streaming videos with the events, or UAAP matches that I cover each day? To give you a ballpark figure, it's a LOT! 

It's pretty evident that if I were not in the right plan, I wouldn't be able to cover your favorite stars, or play games and watch my favorite shows streamed. Smart wants to address this especially for those who are considering a bigger data allocation because the biggest network in the country is coming out with even better pospaid plans which you can build on your own. For starters, anyone can literally upgrade with a line only plan by just presenting their valid ID. 

Plan 399 also has 3GB of data, then Plan 599 has 5GB of data, Plan 799 has 8GB of data, Plan 999 at 10GB, Plan 1499 at 18GB (which I probably will get), Plan 1999 at 24GB of data, Plan 2499 at 30GB of data and Plan 2999 at 36GB of data, all of which have improved data allowances than what Smart previously offered. This wpuld definitely get you the needed stretch you need to binge watch and upload media no matter what social media channel that is. That's BIG data allowance for the usual charges, which means YOU save a lot in the end. These new SMART postpaid plans are also FLEXIBLE because you won't get locked up with a device in limited set of services. You can even have your monthly cash out be added to your postpaid bill. You have total control of your mobile lifestyle.

Isn't that the SMART choice?
