Wear it Your Way with Wacoal

Wearing the correct undergarments is sometimes one thing that is often neglected. According to some studies, about 80% of women wears the wrong bra size. But its not only about wearing the correct size that is important. Another factor to consider is how it will appear underneath the clothing or how fashionable an undergarment can look like. 

And how to get that perfect and fashionable look. There are various ways.

 1. Wear it the conventional way - underneath a shirt or any tops

2. Strapless - just perfect for gowns or some night outfit

3. One sided - wear it for some everyday classic one shoulder dress

















Whatever way it is, it is but important to consider how you can wear it comfortably and with style.

Just like Wacoal, who believes that every woman is made beautiful. Such their creations are made to fit the everyday needs of women to connote, comfort, style and fashion. 

Let's Move & Let's Love

One of my mommy-friends is doing an advocate to reach-out to the less-privileged kids of Negros.  She is an army wife and her husband is a batallion commander assigned in one area of Negros province thus she was able to witness the lives of the people in that place.

During her daughter's first birthday last July 2012 she requested her invited guests instead of giving birthday gifts for her daughter, we just donate ten pairs of slippers to be given to her charity cause.  The response was overwhelming as she was able to raise more than 2,000 pair of slippers.

Afterwhich through some photos shared to us, truly we knew we are able to make those kids in Negros happy getting their new pair of slippers. 

In my desire to help her in her advocacy I joined her campaign such in my own little way I'll be able to help as well these kids. I have call on my friends as well and solicit support from them.  In my online mommy group, we are now having monthly campaign to raise pairs of slippers such before Christmas, we can make lots of kids happy again.

Giving can be in a big or little way, whatever manner it was, what 's important is our desire and big heart to share with others what we've got.

Just like the latest offering from United Colors of Benetton Perfumes "Let's Move" and be dynamic just like getting ourselves involved with various activities around.

 . . . and "Let's Love", doing something that we like more and with our full heart.

What about you? how do you "move and love"?

Chef Laudico's Dinner Party

Last night I am just one of the few privileged to get an invite for a dinner party with Chef Laudico.  The dinner is actually my prize from winning the Nuffnang blog writing contest. You can check out my entry here.

I just would like to share with you what Chef Lau has prepared for all his guests.

Appetizer Course: LUMPIANG UBOD CONES with FROZEN SPICY VINEGAR

Bistro Filipino's best-selling pica-pica made out of smoked etag pork and ubod with spicy vinegar granite.

I like the vinegar granite, its not really spicy at all. The lumpia is a twist from the usual as it is coned-shaped and served in small tall glassses.

Soup Course: ADOBO MUSHROOM CAPPUCCINO

Bistro Filipino's signature soup with garlic cream foam and adobo mushroom saute.

First time I tasted a soup that is adobo-inspired.

Salad Course: Three Kinds of MANGO SALAD with DIJON BAGOONG VINAIGRETTE


Organic greens and vegetables with bagoong dressing, ripe, green and dried mangoes and kasuy-crusted kesong puti.

A fusion of different tastes, this one alone makes me full. 

Main Course: KITAYAMA WAGYU BEEF in SAMPALOK GLAZE served with TARO PUFF and OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES

A different twist of our famous sinigang, the beef is very tender. The taro, "gabi" as we knew it was boiled, mashed and formed into patty-like, fried crispy on the outside but soft and chewy inside.

Dessert: BANANA CUE TART FLAMBE with LANGKA ICE CREAM and CARAMEL CRUNCH

Caramelized bananas with langka ice cream and rum flambe.

Prepared by Chef Jacqueline, wife of Chef Lau.  This ends up our dinner course for the night.  I am glad I still got room for this one.

Over-all, the dinner party was an exceptional experience for me. It is my first time at Bistro Filipino, the ambiance was awesome though the place was relatively smaller for the 90 people invited exclusively for this event.  But accordingly, this is an intimate dinner.  Yeah! I agree, we are seated closely with one another and rubbing elbows with famous local showbiz celebrities.

Chef Lau is an excellent party host, going around each and every tables to greet his guests, solicit comments and make sure we are comfy and having a good time.

Thank you Chef Lau for this souvenir and photo op with you.  I had an earlier chat with him and he was so amazed to know that a contest was held and there are bloggers who wrote about him.  

Let’s join Chef Lau’s Dinner Party!

I am so excited today, because when I opened my inbox I got a message from Nuffnang, its all about a contest mechanics on how to join an exclusive invite party that Chef Rolando Laudico together with Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR) will going to have.

Chef Lau as he is more popularly known is one of the Philippines' top culinary personalities.  I do admire him for his skills especially how he was able to fuse international cuisines with our very own Filipino recipes resulting to a better tasting dishes that suited our local lifestyle and preferences.

As I always described myself, "I know how to cook but I am not a good cook", so there's the real frustration in me to still learn how to cook dishes that my family will surely love.  Therefore I make it a point that I attend cooking demonstration alongside with my little boy whom I can see some culinary liking at a young age, for now he is getting keen on watching cooking shows on TV and on the internet.  

Wow! that's why I wanted to be part of this dinner party.  Not only Chef Lau will gonna share his expertise.  Accordingly, there is more to enjoy, that is how to celebrate and enjoy freedom from tooth sensitivity.  Thanks to Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief.  Now we can truly enjoy any food, from hot to cold, sweet to some acidic ones without worrying about "pangingilo".  

For many years, me and my own family trusted only one brand of toothpaste and I grew up knowing there's only Colgate to take care of me and my family's health.  So thank you Colgate for always being there, you're like an angel who's keeping a watch on us.
