BORACAY: Titos Resto & Grill Delicious Filipino Food


BORACAY: Titos Resto & Grill Delicious Filipino Food
I am a beach lover. And I know you'll agree with me that swimming in Boracay's wonderful beach is awesome. But after you get tired from swimming and playing in Boracay's pristine white sand what else will you be doing? As for us, we went for a food trip. One fine Filipino Restaurant that we tried in Boracay is Titos Resto and Grill. From the beach front of Station One (1), the area where we were billeted, we walked towards Station Two (2) where almost all of the restaurants are located. You will never miss the sign of Titos Resto and Grill which happens to be located at Station Two, just above Pat's Creek Bar.
We were so happy to find a restaurant and grill in Boracay that serves modern Filipino food which combines the casual comfort of a home-cooked meal with the relaxed sophistication of fine dining. We were happily ushered upstairs by a Titos employee to the second and third floors of the establishment.
We particularly like the second floor where TITOS offers panoramic window seating with a breathtaking view of the beachfront and where guests can relax and take in the cool, fresh air. 
Comfortable weather-resistant banquette seating is also available for customers who are fresh from hanging out on the beach. Titos also offers air-conditioning for guests who want an oasis away from the heat outside.


TITOS also has a grill and lounge on the third floor where guests are offered a selection of fresh items which they can complement with over a dozen unique sauces to create the ideal meal. To top it all, customers can enjoy both privacy and the magnificent view of the sea while lounging in comfort.
So, when in Boracay, make your vacation completely amazing by dining at TITOS!
Never leave Boracay without eating at TITOS resto and grill, the cleanest and yummiest restaurant in Boracay!!

JAMBA JUICE: Now Juicing at SM North Edsa
Finally, the long wait is over for those who lead an active lifestyles and those interested in healthy options but lives in the North of Manila. Yesterday, Sunday - October 7, 2012, Jamba Juice Philippines opened its 4th store at The Block of  SM City North EDSA. Huuray! Now, you can #LiveFruitfully, and be jamba-fied.
 
For health conscious individuals, you now have a meal option, you can now have your daily requirement of fruits and vegetables in one glass!  Jamba Juice offers smoothies made from fruits flash frozen right at the peak of ripeness. Woooot! I can still imagine the delicious taste of each glass of Jamba juice! Have you ever wonder why they called it Jamba? Jamba in Swahili means a celebration! And as a healthy lifestyle brand, Jamba Juice adopted a stealth vegetable approach for children and adults who don’t like to eat their greens.
I ought to buy this Jamba Juice merchandise!
 
At Jamba Juice opening with a new found Blogger friend.

Another plus factor that I find attractive at Jamba juice is their photobooth! 
 
We did not waste the opportunity and took some photos at Jamba Juice Photobooth. Yes, repapeeps, you can send the photos to your e-mails to commemorate each visit you have at Jamba Juice.
Cha Sy with Sumi Go at Jamba Juice SM North Edsa.
 
To celebrate the grand opening of Jamba Juice they set up an active camp for a day. Where kids and kids at heart played, bike, jump, climb walls to their heart's content.
 
Did you know that Jamba Juice supports Guimaras? When you bike for 5 minutes, Jamba Juice will donate a tree on your behalf. I wanted to bike for an hour but I had to give chance to others.







My personal favorite is the Mega Mango and Mango-a-go-go. Because the mango they used came from our very own Guimaras Mango. Plus, I am so motivated with Jamba Juice one peso donation to Guimaras for every glass of Mango-a-go-go you purchase.
As if, it wasn't enough,Jamba Juice also prepared a program for everyone to see at SM North Edsa. And enticed the excited crowd to dance and sing with them.The crowd enjoyed the powerful dance number of this group.
 
Jamba-fied performance! Awww!
Gianmatteo Fernan Guidicelli or better known as Matteo Guidicelli is a Filipino-Italian actor, model, racer and singer. He is an avid fan of Jamba Juice. He said that since he is a triathlete he usually drop by Jamba Juice after his training to get his Jamba fix. He serenaded the crowd and this very lucky Jamba Juice staff.
The Zumba dancers that made the crowd moved to the beat!


Jamba Juice was founded in 1990 in San Luis Obispo, California, out of a vision to inspire and simplify healthy living.  As of April, 2012, Jamba Juice had 769 restaurant located globally. Last October 28, it opened its first store in Canada, followed two weeks later by its Philippine store, Jamba Juice’s first in Southeast Asia.
Ayan, fellow Northies! Sa Wakas Bukas na ang Jamba Juice sa SM North Edsa! Yahoo! Sugod na mga kapatid sa  2nd floor ng The Block! Go!
 
Banana Berry is what my other friends like, but I love mega mango and Mega-a-go-go so it is really up to your personal preference folks! Enjoy! God bless your heart!

VIDEO: Leni Robredo to run for a seat in Congress
 




It came as a shock not only to me but also to a lot of Bicolanos that Lawyer Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo, widow of the late Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo, earlier today, Friday, October 5, 2012, decided to run for a seat in Congress, according to television reports. 

Atty. Leni Robredo has decided to represent the third district of Camarines Sur under the Liberal Party (LP), the same party of her late husband, where she has recently been assigned as chief of the LP in Camarines Sur. 

Atty. Leni Robredo was accompanied by her youngest daughter, Jillian Robredo, who tagged along with her mom to the Comelec office.

Atty. Leni Robredo arrived at the Comelec office with a throng of supporters clad in yellow. Earlier, Naga City vice mayor Gabby Bordado, who was supposed to run as congressman in the third district of Camarines Sur, decided to endorse Robredo instead. Employees of the city hall trooped to her home to urge her to run in the midterm elections. 

She has been urged to compete with Nelly, the wife of Camarines Sur Representative Luis Villafuerte Sr. who will be running for governor after his third term as congressman. Another contender for the position of representative of the third district of Camarines Sur is former Solicitor General Anselmo Cadiz. 
There has been a lot of talk of the administration party asking Atty. Leni Robredo to run for the 2013 midterm elections but House of Representatives Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said that the widow of the former DILG chief showed no interest in politics.

Shocked as we may be, we, Bicolanos, throw our support behind Atty. Leni Robredo.

LOTTE XYLITOL: Dental Health Gum




LOTTE XYLITOL: Dental Health Gum

Say bye bye to weak teeth! 

Our Mom is our do-all, know-all true friend and as some people say, our “bestest best” friend in the world. Nothing she says or does will make us look or feel bad; most of the time, she is our comforter when we are depressed, our companion when we are alone, and our reliable problem-solver.

And she’s even more unfailing when it comes to her family’s health, especially her kids. She is
our round-the-clock reminder when it comes to telling us to take our medicines when we are
sick, to drink a glass of milk either before going to bed or during breakfast, or brushing our teeth before and after meals.

Speaking of brushing our teeth, this is something that most kids forget—well, don’t like—to follow no matter how much they love their Moms. However, lesson is learned later when their teeth begins to ache because of tooth decay.

When we eat, food particles get stuck in the teeth, especially in between brushing and flossing. These food particles contain sugars and acids that may destroy minerals in the teeth that, in turn, trigger a chemical reaction that causes the tooth enamel to tarnish and erode fast, thus making it weak and brittle.

But tooth decay can be avoided by eating a well-balanced diet, brush, flossing regularly, brushing the teeth with a fluoride-based toothpaste, and visiting the dentist at least twice a year.

And for added measure, Moms can give their kids’ teeth a little “exercise” to be fit enough for stronger, harder and bigger bites and bring back lost teeth minerals through “remineralization” by getting into the habit of chewing a dental health gum such as Lotte Xylitol Neo.

Highly recommended by dentists, Lotte Xylitol Neo Dental Health Gum has xylitol, a natural sugar that helps stop the growth of cavity-causing bacteria to help reduce the risk of tooth decay. Plus, the “calcium phosphates” of Lotte Xylitol Neo Dental Health Gum is the mineral mainly responsible in helping “remineralize” or rebuild your teeth.
 
With just 2 pellets 4-5 times a day of Lotte Xylitol Neo Dental Health Gum, imagine the tremendous benefits to your kids’ teeth.
So who says kids can’t bite more than they can chew? From now on, your kids can say goodbye to weak teeth and say hello to good, strong bites by helping their teeth become stronger with a little help from Lotte Xylitol Neo Dental Health Gum!

Sold and distributed in the Philippines by Lotte Confectionary (Pilipinas) Corp., Lotte Xylitol Neo Dental Health Gum, which comes in Fresh Mint, Blueberry Mint and Lime Mint, is available at  leading supermarkets, major drugstores and convenience stores.
