Penshoppe presents Trailblazers

For another ediition of FASHIONISTA we do feature our coverage of Philippine Fashion Week 2011 Holiday Collection presented by Penshoppe. So far, this would be our second time at Philippine Fashion Week and Penshoppe which I would say keeps getting better and better. Entitiled TRAILBLAZERS, the show gives a scope of the fashion trends that goes out of the box yet still fashionably sleek and chic.  And for its fashion forecast, the holiday collection gives more room for creativity and accessory. One of their forecast for the holiday also resembles the Gothic Lolita style of Cosplay which I think will happen and many people love to wear. Also hitting the ramp for fashion week are models from Elite Manila.Golden ABC, the company behind Penshoppe, Oxygen, Regatta and other brands,   celebrates its 25th year in the industry from just a handful of people to a multinational company that reached many shores and created trends in Philippine Fashion.

PHITEN Relaunches With a Commitment to Health

"The body is made to move" this is what coach Jim Saret said in the relaunch of the Phiten products this May 14, 2011. And most of us, including myself, would be guilty of not doing exercise due to many reasons and one of them is time or plain being lazy. But coach Saret introduced the metabolic workout program that can burn 600 calories in 4 minutes and the metabolism will remain for 24 hours. Buy doing a cylce of jumping jacks, squats, push ups and  lounge. You can count 10 reps each and there is no warm up needed since the movements are already the warm up itself. Now, for fitness and health it may induce some strain on muscles and  the body itself. But with a revolutionary product PHITEN from Japan, offers a great solution for these ailments. 
Ronaldo Colmenar, SEEMI General Manager mentioned that Phiten started in 2007 and now has its 7 stores, with 1st Phiten store in Shangri La Plaza. Phiten products are meant to provide three solutions: (1) Improve blood circulation; (2) Improves strength and flexibility and; (3)Prevents Injury. The product are available in 20 countries and popularized by Professional Baseball Payers in the USA who wore it during games. Thus, Phiten also had its collection with MLB team designs. For further scientific analysis is also a detailed explanation on how it works.

21 Day Challenge

3 bloogers will try the 21 day challenge they are Sire Arevallo, Leira Pagaspas and Montch Acosta. The three bloggers will try Phiten products for 21 days and blog about experiences and if there had been any significant changes in their health, flexibility etc. And the winner will get a exclusive Phiten product that is worth P13,000. Coincidently, all of them are friends and I am interested on how far they improved with the Phiten Products.

Phiten affirms commitment to health and fitness
With the proliferation of sports accessories with false health claims, Phiten, the country’s leading sports accessory and apparel provider, met with members of the media both online and offline in Hyphy’s Ortigas to reintroduce and reaffirm the brand’s commitment to health and fitness.

Famous among athletes and sports enthusiasts, Phiten is an innovative Japanese brand of aquametal-infused wearable technology in form of various accessories and apparel.

At the press conference, Phiten demonstrated the products’ benefits for balanced energy flow and blood circulation. Phiten also introduced Coach Jim Saret, an international sports training consultant who gave tips on how to start and maintain an active lifestyle while sustaining a fit mind and body.

Phiten was founded in 1982 by its president, Yoshihiro Hirata, an alternative medicine practitioner. “We are helping people enhance their quality of life around the globe, building on our Phiten philosophy of health, energy, and well-being,” said Hirata in Phiten’s Official website.

Now found in countries over Asia, Europe, and US, Phiten continues to create waves in the scientific community. “Nano-technology is the breaking down of titanium, silver, and gold minerals to nano particles which are then infused in the materials used to make Phiten products,” said Ronaldo Colmenar, general manager of Sports, Entertainment and Events Management, Inc., the exclusive distributor of Phiten in the country.

The technology restores, if not maintains the optimum balance of the body. Phiten, together with a healthy diet and good exercise and sports programs like biking and running, can also help fight chronic stress brought about by a busy lifestyle.

Colmenar added, “Phiten is not a craze or trend. It is a lifestyle brand that promotes health, style and comfort for people-on-the-go and sports enthusiasts who want to be in their best state always.”

Outings with friends and family are the best things. Especially I live alone here in Manila and always looking forward to night outs and picnics. And in the blogging community, most of my blogger friends are also nuffnang users in which we would also like to attend nuffnang events. 


And recently when there was the news about the end of the world, It made me think that I need to live my life at the fullest. And its best with people you like are there to be a witness but also be part of that moment. Now nuffnang will have a nuffamily day! And with the list of generous sponsors for this event It would be definitely a fun fun fun day!


I hope I will be part of this, and let my 'cat smile' picture would be convincing to be part of this. meow. Cheers Nuffnang!



Blah Blah Blogs: Happy End of the World Day!

HAPPY END OF THE WORLD DAY!

I know you have also waited until it struck 6 am in the US. You might have tweeted or messaged your family and friends that you love them and sorry for all of your sins. Some would have gone to church and prayed so hard that their knees bleed.  Some would party like 2012 and also made their final dreams come true. But technically, most of us didn't. Since also technically, we can not solidly predict the future and determine our demise.  Though if we did, we have probably did all the things above and do something, either to wait what to happen or how to delay it. But its freaky but cool to realize that at those time of confusion and chaos (if ever), we would do the things that we should have done today. Why do we need to wait for the apocalypse to arrive just to end wars and say 'I LOVE YOU'?  There is also so many things left unfinished if the world ends now... when will the Philippines get a Gold at the Olympics? Who killed Ninoy Aquino? Will the corrupt officials be punished? What outfit will Lady GaGa wear next? Well, if ever that we are still able to live tomorrow the next END OF THE WORLD day would be December 21, 2012, so mark your calendars and party like its the end of the world!

So to all you readers, my family and friends.
XOXO.

Buying and Selling made easy at AYOSDITO.PH

At these hard times, it pays to be practical. One way to help earn a little is to look around your house and check what things or gadgets you can sell online. I for an instance had a Grand Theft Auto IV software I won last year. But since I'm not into GTA that much I decided to sell it. But Finding the right place to post and sell it online was a challenge. But I came across AYOSDITO.PH which is an online selling site for almost anything from electronics to 2nd hand carsin the Philippines. And with just a few simple steps, I was able to post it with all details  needed.

AYOSDITO.PH is friendly for both buyers and sellers as it serves as board filled with classified ads of what you specifically need. And just after a day or two, I was able to get a reply from an interested buyer who bought it without complications since the details provided all he needs to know. With the fast and easy process, I bookmarked AYOSDITO.PH for my future purchases and when selling things online.

An added feature of the site are the guides that help people, espescially newbies, on how to make transactions and make the right choice in buying. For example, if you plan to buy 2nd hand vehicles, there is a guide in buying used cars in the website. This makes the website helpful and fair to both parties. You can now start looking for things that you can sell online to hel you earn an extra income for you and your family.
