How Do You Take Care of Your Clothes?

It’s such a colorful afternoon with the peeps from Unilever makes of Comfort detergent and Comfort Fabric Softeners. I love their setup where we were given pretty strong magnifying gadgets so we could take photos of fabrics with these wonderful models!

Marianne Tan the brand manager for Comfort says “We in Unilever know you love clothes and if you wash them, some get weathered, but how can you love your clothes to the last thread? You have to use COMFORT Care Detergent. It’s in powder and liquid form and in variants Glamour care and Fashion Care. Eliminate the signs of Clothes Aging with the new Anti Aging Technology in detergents. Love, wear, wash and repeat.”

Amor Prieto the Manager of their R&D says “It takes 5 washes to see signs of aging, the need for clothes to look NEW longer is in demand and we have a new range of products to fight the signs of aging. As we wear and wash them, it contributes to that. The use of bleach even makes the fabric weaker. Harsh detergents get the colors faded, even friction contributes to it. It can ruin your look, but these new fabric care detergents have enzymes that snip bobbling off so your clothes still look new. It prevents yellowing, shape loss, and our new fabric conditioner has Triple Care Technology which protects your clothes from friction and heat. It even protects prints, this is why Comfort make the clothes you love be new for longer.”

Rajo Laurel says “Fabric care is important even after designs, materials are delicate to wash and in investments like designer made clothes, you need to maintain it’s usage even after a while.”

Daryl Chang “Before I buy anything I think of how many times I use it and not just me, but a lot of people spend on clothes. A year or more, you have to get your investment out of it. When you shop you have to be wise, not unlike when I was younger when I didn’t think about sustainability.”

I was a clear case of clothes aging LOL

Apples Aberin says “It is important for me to take care of my clothes, I like dressing up but do repeat my stuff so I take care of them so they last longer, it’s a way of self expression, not to try show aging in your clothes. I love Comfort the most!”

Now how about you? How do you take care of your clothes?

Sunshine, Raymond and Enzo in MALAMAYA

I too was a little dumbfounded about the word MALAMAYA. I didn’t know it wast the tagalog term for the color Ash, all along I thought it was just “abo” but that’s just me lol. Anyway, we sat down with the cast and people behind the movie Malamaya earlier at Annabels Restaurant in Morato so we could get some gist about this Cinemalaya entry.

(L-R): Co-producer/Spears Films President Albert Almendralejo, Director Leilani Chavez, Raymond Bagatsing, Sunshine Cruz, Enzo Pineda, Director Danica Sta. Lucia and producer/ALV Films President Arnold Vegafria (photo courtesy of Rain "The Ranter" de Ocampo)

The film stars Sunshine Cruz, Enzo Pineda, Raymond Bagatsing, Bernadette Allyson and Ms. Gloria Sevilla. This is directed by two women Danica Sta. Lucia and Leilani Chavez. It’s about the gray areas of a relationship, talks about commitment, artistry, dominance, and just about all those small things conservative people don’t want to talk about. A tough stance yeah, but Sunshine trusts the directors much she gave them lee way to do things and execute this, including love scenes which she tells she knows she’s being taken cared of.

Raymond Bagatsing accepted this role as it is different, a potter which he likens to Patrick Swayze and he’s excited about the treatment. He says ”He is my inspiration, and I can’t wait for people to see how much time we’ve painstakingly given its treatment, you’ll see that all here.“

This film is produced by Spears Films, ALV Films and Cine Likha. Malamaya is an entry for the 15th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival slated August 2 to 13 in CCP Theater and selected movie houses nationwide. They will also have a theatrical run on August 14 so watch out for that!

PROMATE 10,000mAh Powerbank Crown 10QC

It's been a while since I whined about something but this is kinda one of it. I've been a good boy, I receive tons of mail on my doorstep but I don't like it if I can't even use things they send me via mail but I do sincerely appreciate the gesture. This one however is different, because if you know a blogger working the same hours that I do, they're probably armed with the best powerbanks in the market. We use it extensively.

I remember getting those cheap ones on street corners and end up using it for less than a week max (because it gets broken), which kinda defeats the purpose of having a power bank in the first place and I only trust a few names when it comes to these things, one of them is PROMATE.

This 10,000 mAh variety I got is the PROMATE Crown 10QC which is made of Lithium Polymer inside and has a lightning cable and micro USB so I don't have to bring those messy ones and be stuck on a wall. It is designed well, you can put the attached cables on the grooves on the side and it would fit like a glove. You get organized right from the start so you wouldn't need space in your bag if you're going out on a trip or a coverage like me. It's just genius!

It also has that capacity which is able to charge my phones around 4-5 cycles depending on how I use it but it does usually last me the whole day. After covering for events, I even have some more so I could play rounds of pubG, mobile legends, ROS and watch YouTube videos at night before I sleep. If it can last me that long, you're bound to probably use it even longer because you might need it less of the time compared to me.

PROMATE even has other varieties of power banks such as the Promate Power Tank 20 which is a 20,000 mAh power bank that's got 18 Watts of power delivery and Quick Charging 3.0 port. They also have color options so if you're into something fancy, it might match your clothes too. Of course if you have phones capable of wireless charging, you can opt for the Promate Auravolt 10 which has the same capacity as my power bank but has Qi charging. All you need to do is put it on top of the thing, and get  charged right away! No need for separate Qi pad chargers, just the device itself!

PROMATE devices (they've got tons of it not just power banks) are available in leading tech stores and in Lazada. Just go get it!

How do you fix your liver?

You should know. It’s got one of the most important functions in your body, and if you don’t take care of it, you’ll suffer the consequences which is not a good thing. First off, you should know everything about what you eat.

That extra slice of pizza, those two bottles after your office hours, that ain’t good. You liver would work extra hard and if it stops doing that, you won’t have something that stores important vitamins, energy and minerals that releases them in the blood. It also helps in resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing bacteria from the blood. So be kind to your liver, it’s the only one you’ve got.

The intake of essential phospolipids may help improve liver function. Essentiale for example contains purified essential phospholipids that comes from natural food that can be easily absorbed by liver cells. It is clinically proven to strengthen liver health by promoting the repairing function and regeneration of liver cells. Now if that happens, you’ll be better off processing foods you eat, drinks you take, give what body needs to survive.

That’s a good way to take care of your liver!
