The 10th edition Starbucks Planner is out

Starbucks 2013 planners are out

It's another year, and Christmas is just around the corner.  Remember last year?  When we had the Starbucks 2012 planners, well I guess you got it all filled up and well now, roaring to get the new Starbucks 2013 planner right?

As part of the Filipinos' Christmas tradition, from Noche Buenas to giving of aguinaldos, to the endless rows of sweet hams seen at every homes, the tradition of annually owning a Starbucks planner has indeed gone a long way.  I remember the first few years when I started collecting stickers to quickly fill up the Starbuck's card and was even buying drinks for my friends so that I could complete it faster, and now I'm back to my old habits again, but well, my friends are not complaining.

Finally, Spirals opens their doors to the public this Nov. 7.  After being closed for renovation due to floods, weather disturbances or whatever you may call it.  Sofitel's renewed gem is finally open.  And it's better than ever.

Maybe you could say it was time for a renovation indeed as Spirals, even as splendid as it was has been in fact operating for quite a number of years and refit may be due, so you can say this may be a blessing in disguise.  This is the perfect example of how the best top themselves and made it better.

Chuck's Deli new delights : Flatbread Pizzas!

chuck10

I have first encountered Chuck's Deli in January of 2011, it was on their Serendra branch and I just loved their slabwiches, from the Faking Duck, Reuben Slabwich, California Waki, they have definitely left a great impression on me.  And of course, I'm dying for their home-made potato chips.

And now after a year and a half, they have another branch in Eastwood, and another great addition to their mouthwatering menu, The Flatbread Pizzas.

Anlene... partners for Life, Now and Forever

 Anlene your partner for Life

We were recently invited to be part of statistics and to prove that indeed bone health is wealth indeed.  For years, Anlene has been the most respected expert with regards to bone health of osteoporosis among women.  This lifestyle crippling disease decreases bone density and results in significant bone breakage and fractures.  The most common being the wrist, the hip and the spine.



Anlene has addressed the issue through the years and has been helping the Filipino woman be more of their prime, reducing the risk of Osteoporosis.  A formula milk rich in calcium and Vitamin D, it cares for you more

However recent findings also suggest that 1 out 5 men over the age of 50 also has issues with Osteoporosis which increases the probability of Osteoporotic fracture.   So I would say it would be best to do bone screening at least once a year.

With RJ Ledesma (host), and Mr. and Mrs. Vince Hizon
So now that the women have their husbands to be concerned about the possibility of osteoporosis happening to men as well.  Many couples would credit the fact that for a couple's marriage to work, they should do sports, travel together as much as possible, osteoporosis should not be deterrent to what life has in-store for us.

Let's be partners for Life, now and forever.  Together with Anlene we can be a bone stronger nation.
