In celebration of the Global Hand washing Day, Safeguard by P&G pushes the campaign of teaching kids common places/things they see every day where germs are present.

Safeguard managed to teach the graders of Mabolo Elementary School in a creative way where the kids had fun while learning. Also the parents were there learning as well, as the staff also had something in store for them.

Safeguard really established their point on why hand washing regularly is a vital part in everyday life.

Here are some reasons why antipodes is the Trimaran for you.

1. Antipodes has techy gadgets.

PY Antipodes is equipped with the highest standard marine technology, not to mention its “Auto Pilot” function and state of the art maritime electronics.

A trip with a bad crew sucks. The crew of antipodes are very jolly and helpful. They even catched a fish for us :smile:

Just this September 28 2015, Cafe Laguna celebrated its 24th epic anniversary! It was a blast of foooooooood! Offering the best Filipino main dishes to the all time Filipino deserts, you just can’t get enough of. Just one visit to the buffet table won’t suffice cause the temptation to taste them all is too strong and you just have to come again and again ,good bye diet!

Serenaded with Original Pinoy Music (OPM), you could really feel the Filipino aura flowing around Cafe Laguna. I strongly suggest that if you want a taste of exquisite Filipino dishes , Cafe Laguna must be on your list!

Salu-Salu with Tomas Osmeña

Recently, I received an invitation to join a dinner with Tomas Osmeña, former mayor of Cebu City. Honestly, I hate politicians because of experiences and their lies, but I thought of why not giving this dinner a shot maybe it would change my perspective, and so I accepted the invitation.

In his house, he showed us how cooking calms his exhausted body from tremendous work loads and appointments. You really can’t say that he did “the cooking” only to impress us because there’s a bacon slicer oin the kitchen and he really does know his ingredients well. I mean who would buy a bacon slicer when they’re not serious in cooking?

We talked and talked about politics (it was the first time I really paid attention to this topic). I noticed that he wasn’t using any special silverware while eating his crab and his pinky wasn’t raising! I was shocked while watching him. He really is a simple man indeed.

After the dinner, Mayor Tomas had to go off for an appointment (he knew that he had an appointment but chose to be late because I think he loved the chat). Councilor Margarita Osmeña took over the talk. She gladly shared how his husband Tomy really loved to cook to the extent he got caught cooking in a hotel room. She even shared the happenings when they had their honeymoon. It was really an epic one, just like in the movies (not the romantic type, but an interesting one).

Yamaha: Truly revs your heart

Most companies don’t really coincide with their slogans. Some reaches to the point that they change it because they can’t fulfill the promises they make. Well there’s one company I know of that truly follows their slogan; Yamaha.

Yamaha’s slogan “revs your heart” is unlike other slogans that are there because it’s catchy. Yamaha lives by that slogan by two main deeds.

First ,they always make sure that they don’t just sell motorcycles but it must be a lifestyle they’re selling. They go to places to educate people especially the young the proper way of riding a motorcycle since motorcycle riders are getting younger and accidents can be prevented if the rider is properly educated.

Next is that they created the yamaha club. By being a member; you get to enjoy discounts, freebies, and privileges that are exclusive only to yamaha club members. Just this Saturday, September 5 2015, Yamaha’s 2nd Grand Eyeball,here in Cebu, was held at Cafe Racer.Yamaha owners from different clubs participated in the events. It was a night full of laughters and hello’s.

And that is why YAMAHA revs your heart!
