Herbalife Family Foundation brings festive cheer

to over 200 children at the SOS Children’s Village In the Philippines

PHILIPPINES, Manila, December 16, 2016 – To cap off an eventful year, Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) visited two of its beneficiary organizations under, SOS Children’s Village, to bring the festive cheer to over 200 children. During the visits, HFF Philippines held activities, which brought fun and joy and left big smiles on the children’s faces.

 As part of the activities, Herbalife donated a total of 250 books to the Batangas and Bataan Villages of SOS through the CASA Herbalife Program, the flagship project of HFF. The books were given by Herbalife independent members and guests via a month-long book collection program organized by Herbalife Philippines, and benefitted 245 children from the villages.

Barbette Soliven, Corporate Communications Manager at Herbalife Philippines and the lead organizer of the activities said, “Ever since we started these visits enabled by the CASA Herbalife program, we have strived to make it a more engaging experience for both the volunteers and the kids. I’m heartened to see that we have achieved that this time round, and am glad to see the smiles on the childrens’ and volunteers’ faces at the end of the day.”

Herbalife distributors, executives and volunteers also spent two consecutive Saturdays (November 26 and December 3) at the SOS facilities in Lipa, Batangas and Mariveles, Bataan, where they spent time interacting with and playing with the children.

 One of the key highlights was the Ultimate Frisbee Clinic organized by Herbalife Philippines, where the children were taught the basics of the sport, before culminating in a scrimmage game played together with the volunteer team. The eventual winning team was applauded by all the participants, and won themselves a Herbalife T-shirt and a Frisbee each.

“We are very grateful to all the Members who have supported the activities and took time to be with us; as well as the young volunteers who joined us in teaching these kids the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, ” Barbette Soliven added.

SOS Children’s Village has been a recipient of the CASA Herbalife program for six years now. In 2016, grants from HFF were used to conduct supplementary feeding programs and provide nutrition education at targeted locations within the Philippines, benefitting 609 children below the age of 12 in 24 communities.

Whispered Stay

Far beyond a dream, it hails enduring. Waiting for that time was worthwhile, not to be exchanged, encompassing. For once it has been found, though denial has a solid hold on the ground, what it is was a request for a whispered stay, as when the bond is broken, it leads to dismay. Such hopeless moments trash in the mind, wondering what the future might hold, but the offering must be and can only be that of today, now, here, and that whispered stay.

The cool strong breeze sifted the cobwebs on my mind as I stood up overlooking the busy street. It was refreshingly, invigoratingly sublime, peaceful, comfortable, more that companionship to disrobe the stressors of life. In one instance before, it was a far away look, seen more than trice, that brought about the request for the whispered stay.

The dying had begun and on hold for all the beauty that life has to offer, the trivial and meaningless must be swept away. For refusal to change a decision changed so many times before has come about dur to multiple limitation set, and the sadness has set into the heart of one. As much as a smile to hold back the tears thar will not flow because of hope, the frustration of the daily routine loveliness of the cool breeze and the night sky disappears and drifts away, aground with reality, though what is true has unfolded, thus the pain begins, striking the heart, to tuck and seal away what was longer for. This saness is not mine to bear - a mind that refuses to be happy and hold what is there, a mind that has given up because of the rendering of limitions, coming out like lame excuses.

We can lie to everyone but no matter how much we lie to ourselves, we can never convince ourselves.

The loneliness trek of an abused dog comes to mind. Bit of treats are thrown at them, once in a while, yet those treats still fill the abuser's needs. When the dog is whimpering ill, the irritation will begin, and the abuse will be worse, as the weakness will be made into a time when retaliation or more like, lack of usefulness, will take place. Normal behavior is a routine daily life, one filled with days and nights filled with pleasantness and caring. Yet, in so many ways, the cards have been folded, seems like opting out of the game of life, way beyond the time before the last breath is taken.

Creating white trellis walls in a life that needs no escape, to interplay twinkling or steady white lights and small flowers to go with the season or holiday, a romantic athmosphere can be set but yet - the empty chair of one that was waited for all these years will remain empty. The gladness and gratitude is there for having found him, and the sadness will not come to light as there is a positive charge in the universe around us. Let the mind be free, break the chains that shackle, and go for what is intrinsic in our lives, the ultimate need, which is the pursuit of happiness.

Thus, holding on, not letting go, keeping that whispered stay, for the dying not to begin. Happiness is more than a choice, it is a decision, and in letting go, what sadness is seen.

Artist Hayden Sison to Hold Duterte-Inspired Exhibit

Avante-garde artist Hayden Sison will unveil his latest collection of masterpieces inspired by the leading political figures in the country today at an exhibit entitled “Adventures in Digongland (More High Fructose Corn Syrup)" to be held at the SM Art Center in Megamall from January 3 to 14, 2017.

Some of the artworks to be showcased in the exhibit will feature his interpretations of President Rodrigo R. Duterte. “My latest collection is inspired by events and personalities from the last presidential elections leading to the first 100 days of President Duterte. It is about the here and now and the mystery and suspense that comes with it. We can only guess what's going to happen tomorrow in ‘Digongland’,” said Sison, who has been vocal about his admiration of President Duterte even prior to the election. 

“As an artist and an observer, my job is to notice things. ‘Digongland’ is where we are now and where we will be for the next six years. I'm just adding what I notice to the audio-visual pollution,” he expounded, adding further that, “This show is quite different from the first ‘High Fructose Corn Syrup’ as it reflects many questions and uncertainties from a lot of sectors of society and what's in store for the country.”

For this fast-rising visual artist, his recent exhibit offers “art that is created from within but inspired by what is without.“ He experiments with various media to bring out a “sense of fun, play and freedom” while trying to derive meaning from the characters in the frontline of governance.

“I work with oil paint sticks, oil pastel, acrylic paint, graphite pencils and pretty much any stuff I can get my hands on when I'm working. I work intuitively, often without sketching, based on ideas I collect in my head. I don't use pencils. Often it's straight into paint or ink. I like the no-backing-out feel to capture my muse. I like the randomness and the way the images work it's way into the final piece. It creates a lot of mood and tension,” he said.

Sison is known for art that reflects dark humor, satire or double meanings. However, this is the first time his artistic mischief will focus on politics or political commentary. 

 

“Adventures in Digongland (More High Fructose Corn Syrup)" will have a private and exclusive artist’s reception for friends of the artist, collectors, patrons and the media on January 7, 5pm. For those interested to attend, kindly contact the artist at 0917 700 8251to be included in the guest list.

Blogger RonNotTheDJ

Ed Gonzalez and owner Jahzon Lih

A coworking place the South, nestled in BF Homes, Parañaque, is the solution that you might have been looking for when it comes to the need to work and having your own office.

Blogger Rod Gabriel and Ed Gonzalez

Get one hour free use of The Common Space. 

Go visit The Common Space Facebook page to see how! 

Of course, there's Starbucks, right - with the coffee, and you can bring your lappy and portable wifi there, and must have the art of shutting out noise when you need to concentrate - but then here, at The Common Space, there is unlimited brewed hot coffee, cold coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and you can bring in your own munchies. The noise level is that of work, and there is no loud music playing, no people who are there to disturb your concentration, as it is for coworking - a shared office.

This shared office may be rented at a monthly, daily, and for minimum of 3 hours. There are various packages. There is strong wifi at 15 Gbps, and there are two desktops that can be rented at 30 pesos and hour. There is a scanner, printer, and a landline. Just like an office, you can get your mail here, and use this coworking place in Paranaque for an office address.

When we had the blogger's event, with bloggers Rod Gabriel, Ron Barbaza, and online influencer Ed Gonzalez, we made a computation of the monthly rental, to see the cost per day. First, we discussed what a person would need if they would have their own office space, so the rental expense, the electricity, the equipment, and the internet - and since you can use this coworking space for a month, which is 6 working days a week multiplied by 4 weeks, it comes out that 4,500 pesos a month means that you will only spend 187.50 a day.

The bloggers event was that of discussion, turning out to be a meeting where we shared information, and then enjoyed the work atmosphere that this coworking in Parañaque provided. It helps one become more productive to be among people who want to focus on work, and there is a good vibe, that of energy, that comes with this spacious and airy space, that has benches set right outside for the smoking area.

The Common Space is located at the second floor of Pergola Mall, Aguirre Ave, Parañaque. You may learn more about it by accessing The Common Space Facebook page.

Pepperoni, genoa salami, back bacon, lean beef and capocolli

Chef Laudico's Feast: More Buffet Choices

With over 100 dishes, affordable great food with the variety of choices is yours at Chef's Laudico's Feast.

Angus Beef Tapa

Located at SM City, Clark, Angeles City, Pampanga, the spacious dining area is made more special by the uniquely Filipino decorative touches such at the impressive Capiz chandeliers. The buffet is make a lot easier to access, as it omits the lines, since the feast is laid out in an oval setting. That eliminates the having to wait in line to get food. The restaurant is airy, seating is comfortable, and there is a lot of parking space available.

This unlimited buffet has a choice of international and Filipino dishes, from appetizers to dessert. It does provide a lot of the most popular dishes in the world. With unlimited beverages, such as iced tea, soda, and coffee, it is indeed a feast, as more than just having a buffet with lots of food choices, there are those dishes that have gourmet touch of Chef' Laudico, done with the passion of a true chef, using the finest ingredients. There are no shortcuts used in the food making process, such as using flavor cubes.

My personal favorite dish was the Angus Tapa, and the kare-kare with their bagoong was totally wonderful. Though there was a variety of rice dishes such as Paella Valenciana, I went for the white rice, which was a level up from most other buffet places, as the rice does make the diff, and this was puff and gloss white, the way I love it. There are so many food items, that I was not able to try them all, and that is one of the reasons why one should dine at Chef's Laudico's Feast, because one will never get bored with what food to eat, as there are over a hundred choices.

It is best to take very small portions at first, to discover what you like, and then to go back for more, and doing this taste-testing, I just had to go back to get more rice and a double serving of the Angus Tapa, as it one of the best that I have ever tasted.

What you can expect from this buffet restaurant is the leveling up of most of the meat dishes, and that is what I can state because I did not have enough tummy space to tackle the seafood, except the sashimi and a few shrimps. The meat is what I went for as I do love the choice cuts from Angus beef,

If you want to enjoy a buffet, and to dine at Chef''s Laudico's Feast which is an experience, and one that is worth repeating again, and again, and again.  Here are the rates:
