Colored Right "The Hombre" Way by Jerusalem N Dio Salon

I haven't been able to fix my hair for a couple of months and I always get crazy when I get bored from it being black. It went black for a reason though because I had to be Professor Snape for one day during Ruth Dela Cruz's birthday. So I did the next big thing with my friends over at Jerusalem N Dio Salon at 58 Pentagrand Building in Mother Ignacia in Quezon City. It's a stones throw away from St. Mary's College of Quezon City so you wouldn't miss  it. They've treated me like family and just like the countless celebrities/clientele they've had over the years, I feel they only want YOU to be happy with your hair. Now that's a really great deal for me and I've been yearning for a color change. Tita Bing told us about  "The Hombre" which is a coloring style that makes you look like you've got root growths already even if they're coloring it for the first time. This has been done in Europe and in the US, which is pretty current in Philippine standards so I was so excited!

I love my hair, and the only way to treat it right is by looking good all the time. They're a neighborhood salon with the right amount of courage to experiment with their patrons, and I like that part. It's also near my place and it's accessible even by public transport. Best of all, you get treated like family. I don't know how to actually put that in words but if you go there, you'll experience it. That's how Tita Bing Dio has actually been able to do this for years. You should experience that yourself and get that hair fixed. They did my hair, really good in fact that I'm wearing it like this almost everyday in events. Oh, and it's organic! 

Thank you so much Tita Bing Dio and your whole staff! From super black hair to this? It's AMAZING! I love what I look like now and it's all because of you!

Gretchen Ho Joins "Bayan Mo Ipatrol Mo" (BMPM) Efforts

Gretchen Ho made headlines when she started off as a Lady Eagle in UAAP a few years back. She's also made waves as a host, VJ and the better half of lover boy Robi Domingo, but during this small gathering at ELJ Building, she's putting the fame, influence and popularity to good use as she joins the "Bayan Mo Ipatrol Mo" family. The organization is part of ABSCBN's vast network that delves on citizen journalism, voter education and responsible reportage. Gretchen is already making herself useful by joining in on recent symposiums, workshops and telling the generation today how becoming a part of BMPM can actually make this election season a better one. She's been in different parts of the country already and taking much of her time to educate the youth, voters and non voters how to put to good use their voice on social media. Blogging per se like what we're doing is also part of that since we also are disseminating information to different sets of audiences and letting them know different ways how to help the country and voting public.

The forums and workshops will be done extensively before the actual election day and they'll be needing help from the likes of ordinary people like you and me. Citizen journalists in whatever way, shape or form, may actually send their reports to BMPM here and may get featured with ABSCBN's news channels, TV Patrol, Bandila and others. Ms. Jing Castañeda was also there to give her views, whilst still covering Mar and Leni in the Presidential elections. It'll be a great venue to tell what things are happening in your side of the world. With a "learned" disposition, you can make this a place to tell a larger audience what needs to be done so that politicians won't be abusing any of your rights, the rights of the community and the general public. The symposiums and workshops are important so that students, citizens can go ahead and ask questions so a definitive answer can be given and make your efforts a good one to educate others. We can also harness social media, handle the information here online or offline and use it to decide for the greater good of the country. ABSCBN also made apps for the COMELEC so it could help the government and you.

Here are snippets of our talk yesterday afternoon.

I also asked about the challenges that they're having while doing BMPM as they somehow mentioned some parts of the country are quite difficult to go to, they have confirmed security is a concern and is of utmost importance. They usually go to these destinations prepared so even if they may have some "not so much fans" of the network, they do what they have to do in order to achieve their goal of educating the Filipino voter no matter where they are. I felt that was a little assuring, hopefully people would be more receptive, participate and make a clear, sound judgment when the day to choose our leaders would come. Thank you to the people from BMPM for having us! It was a pleasure to hear from you and what you plan to do with Gretchen now that she's part of the organization.

Gretchen by the way also introduced her new blog called Woman In Action which you can find in www.gretchenho.com. She'll be posting demographics, and her causes to help with women empowerment. She feels it's her duty to use her influence and voice and act on women's issues, something we felt was a thing she's very passionate about. You may visit her blog soon for stories about that.

SMART Asks You: Team Batman or Superman?

I kinda answered this question quickly because even in my Twitter and Instagram bio, I've always called myself Batman no matter how crazy that sounds. I know some of you would choose the man of steel, but in my books he's as real as what real men should be. He's not an alien, he does charity, he's also romantic, but emotional as he seems, he's a tough cookie. Superman has super human strength, can fly, can dodge a bullet and is superfast he's been blowing the speed of light ever since he got born in Smallville. He's also more human than most people, and has saved countless lives just like Batman. This year, the most awaited film from Warner Brothers has partnered with the country's biggest network, Smart, and they're asking you to choose sides!
