New Levi’s Jeans Collection for Women: Love Your Genes by Getting the Right Fitting Jeans

August 9, 2010 by Janey

Women come in all shapes and sizes –in different forms and curves. No matter how much we try to lose weight or gain weight to perfectly fit in a pair of jeans, finding the perfect pair still eludes us. Levi’s Strauss and Co. invited some women to an intimate gathering one Saturday to talk about what women generally believe in, whether in advocacy, lifestyle, dream or finding the denim pair that suits them.

The event started with a fun activity of creating an “I Believe” board or mood board. It felt crafty and productive (and even therapeutic!) to cut out items from magazines and design them on your “I Believe” board using your own creative style. Each of our “I Believe” boards depicted our own lifestyle and it also helped us visualize our dreams. Visualizing as they say moves you an inch closer in pursuing your goals. The guests, sharing their thoughts on their dream boards, all had lovely smiles on their faces –genuine marks of how pleasant the activity was.

As for my “I Believe” board:

I believe that people should have an appetite for the good life while striving to achieve the best things. That’s one of the things that the Between Bites site stands for. Whether it’s a bite of food, travel, reading, music, circumstance, a memorable moment, hope or anything in between, there’s always something to be happy about in life.

I’ve tagged my mood board with Lit Chick and the statement, “Discover the perfect fit that makes you lit!” Never mind if the perfect fit means an ideal partner for you, a gadget you’ve been wanting to purchase, clothes you’ve been meaning to romp on your life’s ramp, the paying job that makes you happy or circle of friends that you can trust and be yourself with… whatever it is, it’s great to find something or someone that makes us light up.

Why not create your own “I Believe” board? 🙂 Might be a dose of inspiration for you.

Right after the “sharing” and women-bonding, we all partook in a tasty lunch at Cav while we continued to exchange stories and updates.

On the Table:

Young Arugula Salad

Watermelon, Cherry Tomato Confit, Parmesan Crisp

Twice Cooked Pork Belly

Garlic Potato Puree, Haricot Bundles, Madeira Jus

Flourless Chocolate

Flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream

When the hearty lunch was consumed, it was time for the “fit” measurement at the makeshift dressing room. Some ladies, including moi, were quite apprehensive about getting “measured” after filling ourselves up. But our worries and fears were put aside when we discovered that the custom fit pants they’re launching will be based on our natural shape instead of size. First time I’ve heard of such thing. I’ve grown accustomed to getting my waistline size when hunting for jeans.

Levi’s® has started a campaign driven to help women find the best-fitting and most perfect pair of jeans. They have studied the body shapes of over 60,000 women around the world and through this, Levi’s® created revolutionary custom-fit denims that are based on shape that celebrates straight figures, frames perfect proportions and honors genuine curves.

The new Levi’s Jeans Collection for Women has custom-fit denims that:

Defines your waist and accentuates your curves without a muffin top.
Flatters your waist and smoothens your shape.
Hugs your waist without gaping or pulling.

What an innovation if it answers most of women’s denim problems.

I got measured and was handed a pair of skinny jeans. One try and voila, I didn’t have to try any other pair. Excellent huh? It is for me because jeans is the most tiring clothing piece to shop for. If I got different pants to try on, then that takes a lot of pulling pants and removing them and re-wearing my clothes. It’s quite a workout. That’s why I’m glad that I was able to find my pair of denimwear in a snap (thanks Peach for measuring me)! 😉

Women can now be comfortable with their given genes whether they have curvy curves or semi-curves. There’s a custom-fit denim that matches your natural body curves! Stand tall, be proud and shake what your momma gave you! 😀

Levi’s has been strongly associated with men’s jeans for the longest time because it’s the dependable brand that’s been trusted by men. This time, Levi’s unlocked the ingenuity behind women’s jeans and has created jeans made to fit the curve of a woman’s body. Say ta-tah to those ill-fitting bottoms because every woman now just got to make room for the greatest fitting pair of jeans ever to hit your closet! Go to the nearest Levi’s® store or outlet near you, get measured and grab a pair! 😉

Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga and its Outlet Stores

August 8, 2010 by Janey

Pampanga is not only a haven of wonderful and delectable Pampanga dishes, it’s also home to Robinsons Starmills who is known to carry the most outlet stores in one venue.

Bubba and I visited Pampanga for a whole day of food-tripping at Everybody’s Café and Zapata’s in December 2008. In between our food adventures, we decided to stop by Robinsons Starmills to check out the Mango outlet store there we heard from Marie. We went home both very happy about our purchases –I had some good fashion finds from Mango and a few tops from Terranova. Bubba bought a pair of jeans from Levi’s, regularly priced, but he didn’t mind, it was a great fit.

I was able to get 4 dresses from Mango that time that totaled only less than 5K, one of which is a Grecian-type Maxi dress that cost only PHP 1,400.

That’s why I was a bit excited to be back in Robinsons Starmills last Wednesday afternoon (yes, I filed a half-day leave and took a midweek break from work). It’s been almost two years since my last visit but my hunger to search for good deals never deterred.

It was relatively a short drive of 50 minutes to 1 hour to Pampanga taking the North Luzon Expressway. Upon arriving, we had some refreshments from the Rosemary and Thyme restaurant.

Armed with a satisfied tummy and a quick run-through of where the stores are located, shopping in the outlet stores has come to full swing.

After shopping, we had a yummy-rific dining experience at Fiesta Kapampangan with live band to entertain us with their music. Fiesta Kapampangan is a melange of restaurants and food stalls that boast of Kapampangan Cuisine specialties all in one place.

Shopping review: I got a classy gray turtleneck from Mango (PHP 449), 4 belts (PHP 50 each) and 1 bracelet (PHP 129) from Gozum and 3 shoes from Nine West (total of PHP 1,700) -which would normally retail between PHP 5,000-6,000 a pair!!! 🙂 I got everything for less than PHP 3,000. What a steal!

Be amazed with big big discounts on great selections from International brands like Mango, Adidas, Havaianas, Guess, American Rag, etc. and from popular local boutiques like Plains & Prints, Space, etc. If you’re looking for a year-round sale, Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga is where a shopaholic like yourself should be headed! 😉

Johnson’s Body Care and Bayo Launch Soft Look Collection: Skin and Fabric: Beauty at its Softest

Johnson’s Body Care launched their line of body care products that will surely address women’s desire for the most beautiful and softest summer skin. The leading brand in body lotion tied up with female fashion retail brand, Bayo to launch the “Soft Look Collection.” The collection showcases the limited edition collection of specialty designed summer ensembles that highlight women’s soft and beautiful skin.

Metro Manila’s top fashion and beauty personalities graced the exclusive multimedia fashion show event Tuesday night as the runway at Encore Club featured 17 pieces of the collection, all inspired by a woman’s soft skin, made possible with Johnson’s Body Care.

With the onset of the summer season, the hotter temperature ups the ante for perspiration and increases skin dehydration. This heightens the need to keep the skin moisturized and healthy. Luckily, women need not worry about this because with the superior moisturizing properties of Johnson’s Body Care’s 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion and Wash, skin is kept soft and hydrated the whole day. It is enriched with the amazing power of the Dual Moisture Bond, which seals in the skin’s natural moisture and gives it an added moisture boost.

I love the Bayo pieces that were paraded last night that have made me schedule a mall visit this weekend. Bayo’s collection includes off-white eyelets, silhouettes, little blush colors, lace fabrics that really do enhance a woman’s soft skin.

Mary Grace Magcamit, Bayo’s Merchandiser, explained, “The silhouettes are meticulously defined with a gorgeous variety of tops, dresses and bottoms in styles ideal for the summer season. Halters, tunics and strapless pieces with a soft, flowing feel, show off more skin to soak up the summer sun.”

According to Magcamit, wearing the right cut in the right color is a great way to flaunt soft, beautiful skin this summer. Johnson’s Body Care’s partnership with Bayo is definitely the hottest tandem this season.

The Fight is On! Pacquiao versus Clottey. March 13, 2010

January 14, 2010 by Janey

There’s going to be a fight on March 14, 2010 (Manila Time). Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will stand at one corner. The question is, who will stand at the other corner? Will it be Ghanaian Joshua Clottey or Floyd Mayweather Jr.? After weeks of negotiation circus, Top Rank’s Bob Arum finally decided to set the WBO welterweight title fight against Clottey. The negotiation fizzled out between the two dominant American boxing promotional companies when Mayweather Jr’s camp demanded for a rigorous drug testing procedure –random examination like the Olympics that can be really close to the fight night.

The boxing commission only requires urine testing but the stringent drug testing will call for random blood and urine sampling prior to and after the proposed fight. Team Pacquiao couldn’t agree to the blood testing 30 days before the match concerned that this might affect Pacman’s performance. Pacquiao filed a lawsuit against Mayweather’s camp last month, claiming several members had defamed him by intimating he uses performance-enhancing drugs.

The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight was supposed to be one of boxing’s biggest revenue-generating fights. There’s still time before March to reopen talks but Arum has closed his doors to Mayweather for March, more especially that he feels Mayweather will start the nonsense media talk again about the testing and regulations.

Pacquiao’s new opponent in Clottey is a strong, aggressive African that beat Zab Judah of the United States for the IBF Welterweight title in August 2008 and lost a split decision to Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto last June.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Coming to a Close?

December 5, 2009 by Janey

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum made a trip to the Philippines to talk to Manny Pacquiao, who broke records of being the only champion with 7 world boxing titles under his belt. After Pacquiao’s clear welterweight win over Miguel Cotto last November, everyone is slating Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the next in line to face the formidable Filipino boxer.

March 13, 2010 is the date they are eyeing. This can be the biggest boxing event of next year since people have been anticipating this match-up. Pacquiao is the top pound-for-pound fighter while Mayweather is currently No.2 –although the No.1 position is not new to Mayweather since he was No.1 before he retired in June 2008.

The public has been clamoring for this fight to happen but according to Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s coach, March 13 is too fast a turnaround. Remember that Pacquiao suffered a broken eardrum during his duel with Cotto. Roach wants Pacquiao to be in his best possible shape before he steps again in the ring. Roach is looking into a May 2010 bout but that will coincide with the election month. Pacquiao already filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) this week to run for Congress.

Ticket for the live fight is expected to cost around $2,500 (P117,500) while the cheapest seats at around $500 (P25,000).

Will Schaefer and Arum get this deal done and set a fight date before the 2^nd half of next year? The public will have to wait and see.

Another One Bites the Dust: Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao Wins Over Miguel Cotto Via TKO

November 16, 2009 by Janey

The Pacman still has the hand and foot speed and the left big swing to grab another belt –his seventh world title across several weight classes. He proves once again that he is the best pound for pound fighter of his time.

The MGM Grand was packed to the roof, with seats all sold-out; the anticipating crowd inside the arena watched one of the best matches of Pacquiao as of late (Pacquiao supposedly got a 13 million dollar purse. Add the endorsements to that and you have the richest Filipino boxer of all time…).

Round 1 appeared to be Cotto’s round throwing more punches and with them landing on Pacman’s head and body.

Round 2 was clearly Pacquiao’s round scoring a knockdown from Cotto. Cotto showed ferocious counterpunches. The Pacman was too quick to sustain serious damage. When Pacquiao unleashed a leftie, Cotto fell to the floor, dazed. Since then Cotto didn’t look like he was the same fighter that stepped in the ring barely 5 minutes that passed.

Rounds 3-7 were all in Pacquiao’s favor marking another knockdown from Cotto in Round 4. Everyone held their breath predicting that the bout will end soon with Pacquiao unleashing the deadliest that will bring Cotto down for the third time –and for good.

However, the 29-year old underdog from Puerto Rico didn’t relent so easily. He got pumped up with his second wind and worked the ring, letting Pacquiao run after him. He released a few jabs and body shots that connected. It seems like he was back on his strategy of attacking Pacquiao’s body.

Judging from Pacquiao’s cauliflower ear and minor cuts under his eyes along with some bruises, Cotto did land some heavy shots of his own. It was definitely a toe-to-toe match than Pacquiao versus Hatton or Dela Hoya. You definitely got your money’s worth watching the fight.

Despite a puffed and brutally bruised face and spitting blood, Cotto stayed in the game, unyielding, hanging on to every round, surviving. He earned my respect with his athleticism -I heard he’s also loved like Pacquiao because he’s really a very nice guy outside the ring. Rounds 9 and 10, he looked hopeful to land a devastating left hook that can knock Pacquiao out. But Pacquiao just wouldn’t have it –and he also didn’t want the fight to go to scorecards even if it was clearly his arm the referee would raise at the end of the day. He wanted a knockout that his coach, Freddie Roach predicted.

Referee Kenny Bayless stepped in for the boxer’s safety and waved his hands to put an end to the fight after Cotto received a big left to the head and looked like he couldn’t defend himself intelligently. The end came in the 55-second mark of the final round.

Pacquiao has successfully stripped off Cotto his WBO welterweight belt. Pacquiao’s speed coupled with throwing many punches from different angles is a firepower that is tough to extinguish -plus the fact that he has the unwavering heart of a champion.

Manny Pacquiao Faces Miguel Cotto in the Ring

July 23, 2009 by Janey

After a soiree of dialogues and press releases, Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao will face Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto in the ring. The next Pacquiao event is slated on November 14, 2009 and will be held in Las Vegas.

Both fighters have agreed to meet at a catch weight of 145 pounds, which is two below the welterweight limit and five above the light-welterweight maximum limit.

World Boxing Association welterweight titleholder Shane Mosley has publicly showed in the past several weeks his eagerness to fight the boxing superstar, but promoter Bob Arum who handles affairs for both Pacquiao and Cotto, is more keen on setting a match-up between Pacman and Cotto. Mosley was even willing to fight at 140 lbs and at only 40% revenue cut. The 10% give on the purse wasn’t too attractive for Pacquiao’s camp and have decided to close the deal with Cotto’s camp.

Expectedly, the Mayweather Jr. and Marquez fight in September 20 (Manila Time) will also be highly anticipated since this is Mayweather’s comeback after his retirement. The fight was postponed to September (from May) due to Mayweather’s rib injury sustained during training.

Both Mayweather and Marquez return to the ring in September, while Pacquiao’s rumored 2^nd to the last fight is set 2 months after. Boxing fans are eager to see if Mayweather will triumph in that meet to face Pacquiao.

Pacquiao Meets Cotto or Mosley?

July 20, 2009 by Janey

Is the Pacquiao fight in November against Cotto coming around the bend? Or are there still talks underway for a Pacquiao versus Mosley meet? Since it’s taking time for Pacquiao’s camp to negotiate the weight issue with possible Puerto Rican foe Miguel Cotto, Mosley is lurking again trying to outbid Cotto’s camp for the fight.

Shane Mosley is yapping again challenging the best pound for pound Filipino boxer and he agrees recently to go down his weight division and fight Pacquiao in the junior welterweight division at 140 pounds. Previously, he expressed his willingness to go down to 144 lbs just to get the premium fight. He wants the opportunity to steal the elusive belt from Pacquiao and was even offering Pacman a 60-40 revenue cut in favor of the latter..

“I thought about my legacy and my history,” said Mosley. “I think that me being willing to fight and the only thing that stands between us is 143 or 144 and we’re going back and forth and he’s playing games with Cotto.”

With his current offer at 140 lbs., Mosley said Pacquiao would surely run out of excuses not to fight him. He is waiting for Pacquiao to say, “yes, let’s go ahead and do it… and let’s fight”.

“There should be no excuses. There should be no hold ups for Bob Arum or nobody. I’m the only one stepping up to the plate and willing to do something, willing to fight, willing to give the fans what they want… a great fight,” said the welterweight champ.

Meantime, the Marquez and Mayweather fight is scheduled on September 19 in US and September 20, Manila Time.

Fit Flop –Oprah Swears By It

June 23, 2009 by Janey

Okay, if asked who is the most avid reader of Didi’s site, I know who to point to (Pointing ALL fingers to Bubba). He sometimes goes, “did you read Didi’s blah blah…” and I will be totally clueless because he gets to read it first before I do.

One day, he started blabbing about this newest technology in flip flops –Fit Flop, that he read over Didi’s site. He said it would really be good for my back since I have scoliosis and I always complain of back pains. I said I don’t need the fit flops because nowadays you would always find me in sneakers anyway (even in the office, unless I have an important meeting with affiliates). My white sneakers are pretty comfortable.

He objects and says that Fit Flop is beneficial for this and that. He goes on to drop the name of Oprah. Oprah swears by it. Right.

The next big question: how much is it?

When he answered that it was a whopping PHP 3K, I said immediately, “NO WAY JOSE!!!” I am NOT going to buy flip flops that are that expensive. It’s crazy!

I remember buying Havaianas some 5 years ago that are half as much and I have never used them. It’s still in the box. What do I need another pair of flip flops for? I for one do not need an extra.

Every time Bubba remembers Fit Flop, he keeps insisting that I get one. He said he would buy it for me. Even if he buys it for me, I don’t want IT. It’s just a waste of hard earned money.

So the story goes, we were in Powerplant Mall last Saturday. Bubba spots the Fit Flop stand and hauled me there. I said I don’t want to try it on but he was so persistent. Bubba got me try it on and it was pretty comfortable. But I still wasn’t that sold. Since he is really bent on buying me one, I let him be. It’s for my “health” anyway. It also supposedly helps you burn more calories as you walk on them. Exercise while wearing flip flops?

The woman who turns everything she touches to gold backs it up.

Oprah swears by it. And most importantly, so does Didi.

On June 22, 2009, I have officially joined the bandwagon of those in UK who are in this Fit Flop craze since 2007. Thanks Bubba!

I have lugged Bubba to three shopping malls: Robinsons Galleria, Powerplant and Greenhills. I hope this shopping frenzy ends soon. It’s putting a dent in my wallet. Where are the days that I don’t have the patience to amble around shops looking for goods?

Actually, Bubba STILL takes longer to shop while I take 5 minutes to know I don’t like to fuss around their current line-up and jet out of the store.

Pacquiao – Cotto Face Off Brewing

June 16, 2009 by Janey

Miguel Cotto sealed a recent win against a very tough Joshua Clottey retaining the World Boxing Organization welterweight title. It was a split decision that closed the deal of a very hard fought battle. A few expected that it would come to the judges’ decision when Cotto knocked down the former IBF champion Clottey with a firm left at the end of first round but the latter stood up just in time. Both men exchanged hooks and uppercuts that landed to the body and head.

At the end of Round 3, a head clash between the two boxers opened a gash on Cotton’s left eye that bled continuously throughout the match. Manny Pacquiao sat ringside with Arum and saw how the bleeding blocked the Puerto Rican’s vision, which left him vulnerable to Clottey’s commanding blows. Cotto didn’t let the bleeding affect his game and steered a strategy of throwing quick punches and then breaking out of the battlefield before Clottey can counterpunch. But vision was not the only problem of the match. During the fifth round, Clottey slipped and hurt a knee. He winced in pain when the referee urged him to stand.

It was a long and tiring battle for the two but Cotto emerged the victorious as only one judge scored it in favor of Clottey. The fan went crazy over the Puerto Rican’s win that reminded Pacquiao of Hatton’s tremendous support from the Brits. Impressed by the amount of fan support Miguel Cotto gathered at Madison Square Garden, Pacquiao gave Bob Arum the green light to arrange a fight between the two stars. The bout became more likely after Floyd Mayweather Jr. suffered a rib injury that postponed his returning fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao was targeting Mayweather as his next opponent if the latter wins over Marquez. Or a third winner takes all bout between the Filipino champ and Marquez can brew if the win were the other way around.

The target date for the Pacquiao-Cotto face-off is November 14, 2009.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Injured

June 15, 2009 by Janey

The highly anticipated bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is postponed.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s comeback fight is pushed back because he suffered a rib injury during training last week. This was supposed to be his return after a year-long interim retirement. Mayweather officially ended his retirement on May 2 this year when he announced he would fight Marquez. They were scheduled to fight at a catch-weight of 144 pounds, more than Marquez has ever fought and the lightest weight for Mayweather since 2005.

Mayweather expressed his disappointment over the injury that forced him to postpone the welterweight fight. He said he was looking forward to getting back in the ring. The former 5-division champ hasn’t boxed since knocking out Ricky Hatton in December 2007.

Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) said in a statement from his training camp in Mexico that he was also disappointed. Marquez was reported to receive a minimum $4 million payday for the fight.

Mayweather tried to work through the injury but the extent of the injury proves to be really painful for the welterweight boxer. If Mayweather recovers from the rib or cartilage injury, a likely date is Sept. 19, which is the weekend of Mexican Independence Day and a weekend where there is traditionally a major fight involving a Mexican boxer. Marquez is regarded as Mexico’s No. 1 active fighter.

Mayweather knows how dangerous of an opponent Marquez is and he wants to make sure he is in the best shape possible come fight day. It is a big fight awaiting these two. More so because this fight is supposed to determine who is worthy to meet the current pound for pound champ Manny Pacman Pacquiao in the ring.

Shane Mosley Wants to Face Pacquiao

June 9, 2009 by Janey

Shane Mosley has been declaring that he wants to face Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in the ring since early this year.

The oldest boxing champ at almost 38 years old recently nabbed a stunning knockout of Antonio Margarito and was quoted to say that he was ready to find the “one with the most money.” The main issue of the weight was the subject of deliberation. Freddie Roach challenges Mosley to trim down to 142 pounds. But Mosley refuses saying that his comfortable weight is within 145.

However, WBA Welterweight Champion said to fightnews.com on Sunday, that he is now ready to take on Pacquiao.

Mosley quoted, “There are conflicting reports from the Pacquiao camp an upcoming fight between me and Manny Pacquiao. I want it to be known that I want to fight Pacquiao and I want to fight him now.”

Mosley’s urges the Pacquiao camp to fight in a catch weight match, which could mean 143 lbs, give and take. The question is whether or not Mosley’s 147 lb title would be at stake for this match.

Mosley is seven years older than Pacman and a full three inches taller than the reigning pound-for-pound champion.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the returning ex-pound-for-pound king, takes on Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18, and should only be considered a Pacquiao opponent for next year.

Mayweather Jr. has not stepped in the same ring as Pacquiao. On the other hand, Marquez is the formidable opponent that Pacquaio has not achieved a convincing victory yet. They have met twice but the first match was declared a draw when it should have been Pacquiao’s while the 2^nd match was clearly Marquez but was given to Pacquiao.

Whether the bout is against Mayweather or Marquez, Arum has penciled Oct. 17 as the date of Pacquiao’s next fight.

Pacquiao still has two fights remaining in him before he declares retirement. He could face Mayweather and/or Marquez and/or Mosley. All three are have shown interest in challenging the best Filipino boxer there is. Mosley recently has shown a lot of eagerness. Mosley claims that he is the best fighter in boxing and he is ready to reclaim the title of number one pound-for-pound fighter.
