Social Media Plays an Important Role in Beauty Pageant;Queenierich Rehman Named Miss World Philippines 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 08:57:00 +0000

Social Media plays an important role in beauty pageant. Local beauty contests include Miss Facebook or People Choice Award in their list of special awards.In Miss Universe pageant,online votes is a plus factor for a contestant to be included in the magic 15.A candidate can be popular through uploaded videos in youtube,reviews in blogs , and forums in entertainment websites.These will somehow tickle the interests of the people to watch the show.

Twitter plays a significant role in the recently concluded Miss World Philippines 2012 held last night.Questions for the magic 5 candidates were coming from the tweets from the hastag #MissWorldPH.The 5 lucky tweeters got prizes too.

Tweet question for candidate #22: As an ambassador of the Philippines, what are the best features of your country that you can project to the world?

" I believe that wherever you will go here in the Philippines, it’s not the islands that make us special but of course the Filipinos who have warm hospitality, who are having smiles on their faces, and of course who will treat all foreigners the love and respect, and hospitality that they can give to them. I believe that the Philippines is a country that we can be proud of"

Queenierich Rehman,Miss World Philippines 2012

Queenierich Rehman a Filifina-Moroccan gave the most concise answer of all the candidates making her the Miss World 2012 Philippines.Just like last year’s winner–Gwendolyn Ruais–this year’s newly crowned Miss World Philippines Queen was also a former Bb.

Matrix:Imagine All You Can Be.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 07:46:00 +0000

Matrix, the leading professional hair care and hair color company in the United States, and is part of L'Oreal USA's Professional Products Division is now in the Philippines.To promote their products,the company is conducting seminars/product demos to hairdressers and salon owners all over the country.

I had the chance to attend the MATRIX Education Caravan last month at Dadiangas East Elem,School gym.That was a half- day seminar/workshop participated by some hairdressers in Soccsksargen.

Matrix Education Caravan

Matrix has variety of products for salon use but for that workshop,they just introduced Wonder Brown for hair color,Sensoria care for hair treatment and Opti.Straight for hair rebonding.Since it was a hands-on seminar and we were just few who attended(and for lack of staff),each of us did the hair works of the models who were present that day.They offered free registration and free lunch plus some giveaways ,so when a teacher(model) asked for a hair color ,I offered my free service.

Matrix seminar on the go...

Of all their products,I'm interested in Opti.Straight because it has three variants for different types of hair such as normal,resistant and synthesized hair. We will just analyze the hair type and choose the appropriate product.And what's good about it is the hair can be coloured on the same day using ammonia-free colour or after two weeks for colour that contains ammonia .I still recommend hair cellophane or henna wax color treatment for shinier result.

My Opti .Straight hair rebonding kit

I tried the product to a contestant during the Miss Undadsan Babe Body 2012 in which I happened to be a sponsor and one of the board of judges.She is lucky to have a free hair rebond in the parlor as prize for being the Miss Timberline Beauty Salon.(special award)

A pose with Paulalane

before hair rebond

Paulalane's fine- textured mane was rebonded one year ago so I cut two inches of her locks to get away of the damaged ends.I still maintained the long-layered style though,.I used the normal variant Opti.Straight and treated it with Henna Wax color treatment in red brown shade(I mixed two colors)

after hair rebond

I think she is satisfied with the result.I can see it in her smile...

Tips on How to Make our Bones Stronger

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 04:40:00 +0000

Have you experienced back pain after a strenous activity?This tips I gather from the internet may tickle your interest.

Keep your bones healthy. Cut down on salt,expose yourself to sunshine and exercise regularly for stronger bones.A healthy set of bones is vital for good posture,balance and strength.Our bones lose calcium and other minerals and become lighter,and more porous as we age.The following tips can prevent your bones from becoming porous.

Eat calcium-rich food:

The daily calcium intake of adults should be at least 700mg.For those diagnosed with osteoporosis,it should be 1,200mg.Include yoghurt,cheese,a handful of almonds and spinach in your daily diet.

Power of sunshine:

Your body needs Vitamin D to absorb calcium.This is found in fish oil,liver,fortified spreads,cereals,and egg yolk.Your body also makes its own Vitamin D when you are exposed to sunshine.Take in sunshine for 15 minutes two to three times a week.

Limit protein:

Excess intake of meat,cheese and protein drains the body of calcium and weakens bones.Your daily diet should contain a balanced portion of protein (meat,fish,egg,nuts and seeds),fresh fruits and vegetables,and carbohydrates (bread,pasta,potato and rice).

Quit smoking:

The more you smoke,the more likely you are to suffer from osteoporosis.

Cut down salt intake:

Salt speeds up the bodys loss of calcium.Most of us consume 9g of salt a day,but the recommended limit is 6g,or just a teaspoonful.Dont add salt to your food.Avoid foods that are high on salt like crisps,ham,cheese,sauces,and processed food like French pies,pizza and soup.

Be active:

Bones get stronger when you use them.The best way to strengthen them is to do five hours of weightbearing' exercise a week.This includes walking,running,dancing,golf,tennis or netball.It doesnt include cycling or swimming.

Drink sensibly:

Alcohol,tea,coffee,and other fizzy drinks cut the amount of calcium you absorb,and weaken the bones.Stick to the recommended amounts of alcohol,and swap your caffeine-rich drinks for water and diluted juice.

Maintain a healthy weight:

Losing too much weight too fast under a crash diet programme can increase the risk of osteoporosis.The same is true if youre anorexic.Weight loss can reduce the amount of oestrogen (a hormone that helps to protect your bones) in your body.If you need to lose weight,do it sensibly

The Health benifits of Pakwan

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:43:00 +0000

Yes, that's watermelon or pakwan.Did'nt you know that I consumed 3 slices of that this afternoon?Oh my, I was really thirsty because of the hot weather.Good thing pakwan is readly available...cold,refreshing pakwan, anyone?

I find this information in the internet...

Watermelon, a fruit native to Southern Africa, is today cultivated in almost all the countries with a tropical or temperate climate. It has a very thick and hard rind, with a fleshy center. There are five different varieties of watermelons, including Yellow Watermelon, Orangeglo, Moon and Stars, Cream of Saskatchewan and Melitopolski, differing in their colors as well as sizes. Water melons have a very high water content, which makes them extremely refreshing, especially during summers. At the same time, they are low in calories and have almost no fats, making them one of the healthiest fruits. If you want to know more about the health and nutrition benefits of eating watermelons,scroll down.

Nutritional Value of Watermelon

Given below is the amount of nutrients present in 100 gm of watermelon:

Calcium - 7 mg

Carbohydrate - 7.55 gm

Fats - 0.15 gm

Fluoride - 1.5 mcg

Iron - 0.24 mg

Magnesium - 10 mg

Phosphorus - 11 mg

Potassium - 112 mg

Protein - 0.61 gm

Sodium - 1 mg

Sugars - 6.20 gm

Total Dietary Fiber - 0.4 gm

Total Folate - 3 mcg

Vitamin A - 569 IU

Vitamin C - 8.1 mg

Water - 91.45 gm

Energy - 30 kcal

Carotenoids (Lycopene, Phytofluene, Phytoene, Beta-Carotene, Lutein )

Health Benefit of Watermelons #1 Lycopene

Lycopene is an antioxidant found in most red colored fruits, with the exception of a few things such as strawerries. Scientific studies have shown that Lycopene reduces the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease in people. People who eat a diet high in lycopene are much less likely to suffer a heart attack then men who don't.

Health Benefit of Watermelons #2 Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is an important attribute to have in a healthy diet because it promotes chemicals in the brain that help people to cope with anxiety and panic. These are two psychological disorders that are on the rise in America today.

Health Benefit of Watermelons #3 Vitamin C

If you thought oranges were the only fruit that could provide you with Vitamin C, think again. Vitamin C is important to not only being healthy, but remaining attractive all your life. Vitamin C boosts the immune system so that you get sick less often and it also slows down aging and medical conditions such as cataract.

Health Benefit of Watermelons #4 Vitamin A

Vitamin A works much like Vitamin C, in that it helps boost immunity, but it also help your body fight off infection. It also prevents blindness.

As you can see, eating watermelon is almost tantamount to taking a multivitamin every morning, but with a much better taste. Watermelons are seasonal, which means that they are not available all year long. It means that when they are in season you should make sure and take advantage.

When you go to the store to purchase one you want to try and find one that is ripe and ready to eat. The best way to do this is to knock on the outside of the rind. If you hear a hollow sound then melon is ready to eat, but if you hear solid thud put it back. The fruit is over ripe and you won't be getting very good flavor from it. Buy you water melon and eat it within the first few days of getting it home. Everything about it is healthy, and in addition, it won't leave you feeling over stuffed if you eat too much.

So let's eat pakwan and get the extra boost they will add to your healhy lifestyle..now na!

photos by Sarbay 2012

Baybodies 2012, one of the highlights of the ongoing Sarangani Bay Festival 2012 , has just concluded last night at Gumasa Beach Resort,Gumasa,Glan,Sarangani Province.Like last year,the event was a crowd- drawer.The beach was jampacked with spectators coming from different parts of Soccsksargen and from other places.

Having witnessed several Bikini Open Competitions this summer,I can say that the show was relatively okay because it was fast-paced.It ran for one and one half hour but the 'ingredients' were already complete.There were three costume changes-Ethno-aqua,Summer wear and Swimwear.And one thing I liked the show was the good choice of music.The audience never felt sleepy(besides that it was loud).And the big screen was just fantastic that the candidate's images could be zoom for a clearer view of those who are far from the stage.

the candidates in their Etno-aqua attire

There were 16 sexy and glamorous contestants(8 hunks and 8 babes) who playfully executed their best poses.Most of them showed confidence and can already be called as winners.There was a stiff competition among the contestants but the board of judges were able to gave a fair result.
Here are the winners:

2nd runner-up:HUNK-Rey Sanoy
BABE-Aleya

1st runner-up:HUNK-Ichin Daclan
BABE-Rosemie

BAYBODIES HUNK-Lucky Gelera
BABE-Loren Jane Gumboc

Di lang pala sya pacute,magaling din palang kumanta...

Di agad ako naniwala when the DJ (K01 Fm) announced "Our next song is from Daniel Padilla,Hinahanap-hanap Kita "Naintriga talaga ako, I listened to the song then I watched it in Youtube.
Oo nga, sya nga !The cute and charming Daniel Padilla!

In fairness,maganda ang boses nya.Justin Beiber of the Philippines?Hmmm...pwede.And bass guitarist din pala sya ng bandang Parking 5.

This 19 year -old son of Karla Estrada and Rommel Padilla has a very bright future in showbiz given the talents that he has.Sana di lang lalaki ang ulo nya at pag igihan nyang mabuti ang kanyang career just like his uncle,Robin Padilla.Malakas ang tandem nila ni Katherine Bernardo sa Princess and I.

I just love Daniel's version of River Maya's Hinahanap-hanap Kita...Try to listen...

My new blog

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:50:00 +0000

To have a drive to write once more,I decided to make this new blog.Yes, I have been inactive in blogging for quite sometime but I know,in my mind ,I am still a blogger and I am always be( although I'm not really good at it).I believe that a blogger can influence people.So why keep the ideas stuck in my mind?

Most of the time, I will be posting about entertainment- beauty pageant,movies,and television shows,latest gossips in showbiz and the music scene.I will also recount my experiences here and the (limited) places I go to.,Important events in Barangay Calumpang and the the city will also be featured here.Occasionally,I will blog about food because everybody loves to eat.

And of course,I will not forget to write about the things I'm passionate with-hairdressing.Do you want tips on hair and make up?Nevermind!...joke, hehe.Well, that will be included.

Actually,I'm just happy because despite of the ups and down I experienced lately about the business and yes, my health,God is so good that He provides just my needs to live everyday.And He give me bonus!A cute netbook and an excellent Wifi internet access from Bayantel are already good reasons to be thankful.Now, I don't have an alibi to discontinue blogging.
