The long APEC holiday found me in the province of Cebu to avoid Manila's traffic, road closures and no-fly zones.I am not really excited about Cebu City since it reminds me so much of MNL with its malls and rush hour gridlocks. My game plan for this trip was to head to the islands and see the beach. Am so glad I did that...and so much more! 'More' in this case meant the part where I went swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. Most people who have been there say it's a surreal experience. I wholeheartedly agree!!! The dictionary defines surreal as seemingly ... Continue Reading...
Adventures of Kuya Kim, now on Android!
Two weeks ago, we were lucky to catch up over breakfast with Kuya Kim Atienza who had just conquered the New York marathon. He has always been one of our fitness idols.

Behind the awards is the Hotel Sales & Marketing Association (HSMA), a group of hospitality executives who seek to continuously professionalize the industry through training and networking ...

Power Wives Club tackles cervical health ‘issue’
You don't have to be Hillary Clinton or Kate Middleton to be in the league of the so-called 'power wives.' Filipinas wield power in their own homes by managing the budget or simply making decisions. My definition of a 'power wife' is also someone who embraces every opportunity to arm herself with the right knowledge and skills to become a better mother, partner and/or person. There's nothing complicated about that. But I do like how the pharma giant GSK has conceptualized the Power Wives Club to beef up its information drive in fighting cervical cancer which ...
