It's Time for a Video Timeout!

My phone is dying, my phone is dying...

It's been a VERY busy day, I had two events in different locations which were pretty far and inconvenient to commute to, plus the torrential rain wasn't helping at all. I sat a few hours in traffic, you know how EDSA is. With my main phone drained of batteries I remember I've got my Smart Prepaid line inside my bag, so I took it out and prepared myself to de-stress. Of course I had a bit of Youtube.

Please don't judge me with my subscriptions! :(

Since I don't want to bother myself with the grueling task of taking out my LTE line from my original phone, I used my prepaid line instead. I need to watch about an hours worth of updates on my subscriptions, plus check my own videos over at Youtube.com/kumagcow (if you haven't subscribed yet please do). Glad to know they've got VIDEO TIMEOUT 10. I sent the code VIDEO10 to 9999. I received a confirmation and started watching.

This is the most awesome way to have unlimited data for Youtube streaming in one hour for only Php 10. Ten pesos? That's unbelievable. So I watched my favorite Youtube teasers, reruns, Video Bloggers, and Tekla concerts (now don't tell me you don't enjoy those concerts!) I could get my hands on. Soon enough, the Uber driver was already laughing with me while we sat on traffic for another hour, I arrived safely in Black Market but felt so bad to note that the event has already ended.

I went back quite happy, I never got traffic to ruin my day because even if I missed that event, I had one of the most enjoyable rides on Uber with that short breaktime. Breaktime is Youtube time!

It's 10 pesos for crying out loud, I saved a ton with that short journey because I felt the entertainment getting there was worth the trip! I even rated the driver five stars. Now if I could do the same for Smart I would, who would have thought I would enjoy traffic that much. You should too!

The Cholesterol Reducing Phytosterol in Canola Oil

I've been spending a lot of time in the grocery and have been smart with my choices. In the recent years, we've been using Canola oil for all our cooking needs. We've also had olive, bran, vegetable, but still went back to this because it's just simply good.

Now I didn't know it's health benefits, but reading research online made me realize how it has been one of the things that has reduced the risk of having coronary heart disease in the family. It's one that has been haunting my family for years. Now news about it being a heart healthy oil has been good news for me because of the component called phytosterols. Studies have noted that a mere two grams of these per day would actually diminish the risk of heart disease, one that has killed a lot of people worldwide. This also happens to be true to this day in the Philippines too because of Filipinos keep getting all the junk food and bad cholesterol laden fast food dishes. I am so proud my Mom made it a point to get Golden Fiesta Canola Oil from Nutriasia which is a rich source of phytosterol on its own.It's an all natural plant extract which can reduce your cholesterol level by up to 15 percent, a number your own Mom would be proud of. Food like these with phytosterol are sanctioned by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USDA), isn't it nice to see that on research?

For those suffering gout, it's got low level uric acids, while diabetics would be delighted it's got low glucosinolates and other bad stuff like saturated fatty acids and all those bad fats we frown upon on the nutrition label details. I just got a few bottles for home use yesterday. Now those stir fries, soups, sauces, fried chicken and pork steaks would be dealt with easily, consumed because they're extra healthy now that I know there is phytosterol in canola Oil.

You should be happy. I am!

Aiai On A Roll with Pitalicious Shawarma

It looks like Ms. Aiai Delas Alas is on a roll. After having a presscon yesterday for her new movie Bes and the Beshies, here she goes endorsing a new product with PITALICIOUS SHAWARMA. It's a company owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gillian and Bryan Francisco who currently owns 5 of them. As of today they have about 35 franchisees around the country and are gearing to have a hundred before the year ends. 

During the blog con Ms. Aiai says "Here we go again, I'm the brand ambassadress for Pitalocious, thanks to the owners who believed in me. In any product that I endorse, it's not oily, it's marinated with the owners special recipe. I tried it first and I'm impressed. I am not just doing this with lip service but I'll be also investing by owning my own kiosk. Though I have friends that also endorse shawarma brands, but I think their audience is different. We are mostly for families, for moms and dads, for kids, for lolo and lola, and he's like a son to me so there's no conflict. My kids actually love the products especially the BEEF."

She adds "They also love the Shawarma Rice, the Siopao, and maybe if the owners allow me later on to also include organic chicken, I'll be glad to incorporate that in my stores. My wedding will happen in December, I'm really excited just like any other bride but this is a dream for me. Right now PITALICIOUS can be seen in Marketplace Mandaluyong, Tomas Morato, SM Pasig, and a lot more... maybe if all else goes right Ms Ai will put up one in Shangrila soon. I also have a nephew in SM so I might put one also there. In every business you need to put your heart into it, and give it time, like babies, like plants if you don't give that to them. You have to do it with passion, because I have failed businesses in the past, that's what I learned from my experiences. So I will take a look at this business closely, that's the secret."

Anna Francheska Lara, Pitalicious' Marketing head told us "This is our first time to get an endorser and we chose Ms. Ai, it's a family business, very fanily oriented and getting her was no brainer. For the price, we have 55 pesos, buy one take one for 100 pesos. We have 5 company owned stores, about 35 branches country wide. Franchises are dependent on 148-188-240 and everything will be included. We assist in choosing locations, we find problems and support our franchisees to boost your business. We don't actually have franchise fees or royalties for the first three years, it's a good thing we had signups last weekend because they trust the company and Ms Aiai. The promise for ROI is about 6-7 months and we push to help them by going there personally."

"We will be talking soon with Ms. Ai if there will be a TVC, you'll hear about it soon. You may take a look at our products online on Pitalicious.com. We train franchisees and let them hire people that they trust (or personally man it) so that there would be no issues with the earnings of the business."

Owner Ms. Gillian Francisco adds "My husband is an expert in electrical, and I take care of food and the commisary. We are very detailed and passionate about this so if we're looking for owners with the same characteristics as us. We worked in the corporate world and felt we needed more time for ourselves, and our family so we never looked back after our first few stores. We had Ms. Aiai because she's very family centric, and our brand stems from that because we believe that with passion, any business like ours would flourish especially in the food industry."

Good luck and congratulations Ms. Aiai! My Pitalicious be another successful venture!
