House of Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

September 13, 2011 by Janey

In my whole life, I have never had a chemical peel… or any peeling for that matter. It always scared me and I’ve seen the actual peeling from girl friends who have taken it some years back and the white skin tissues were really shedding off their faces. My trip to Europe last month had me slow-baking under the sun for long hours. Their sun doesn’t set around 6pm like in Manila. It sets around 9-930pm so can you imagine the hours of sun exposure on my face? I noticed a bit of sun damage on my face. These tiny pinkish reddish dots and unevenness started bothering me.

Walking the Streets of Florence 🙂

I had a chat with Sophie of beautynomics.com during a dinner at Sentro and she suggested getting a professional opinion from House of Obagi. She also mentioned that Blue Peel Radiance treatment might just be the answer to my worry but advised to consult with an expert first.

I set my appointment three Saturdays ago and visited House of Obagi (HOO) branch in SM North EDSA. I first had a consultation with their in-house derma. She checked my skin and talked about skin care habits. We were of the same age so we easily related to each other’s skin issues and future concerns. She went on to explain about the different kind of peels and what treatment will be good for my specific skin concern.

Just as Sophie thought, the dermatologist recommended Blue Peel Radiance, House of Obagi’s newest peel treatment. Compared to Blue Peel and TruPeel that are more pervasive chemical peel, Blue Peel Radiance is a lighter peel that has zero downtime and is low maintenance. Low maintenance just means washing your face with facial wash, no applying of creams or anything else (lessening make-up use), and regularly using sun block for at least 1 week. This suits me best since lately I barely have enough time in the morning or evening for an extensive skin care regimen.

Blue Peel Radiance treatment (Php 4,500) is a lighter version of Blue Peel that works almost like a diamond peel but more effective.

Manang’s Clubhouse in Ateneo

October 3, 2010 by Janey

After plurking/tweeting about grilled liempo, Richard challenged me to try the best liempo he’s ever tasted. And this liempo can actually be found in Ateneo De Manila University.

On one agreed Wednesday in August, Richard and Irene picked me up from the office and we headed straight to my first choice of school, the ADMU grounds. Manang’s Clubhouse is quite famous for dishing out the best tasting liempo around, plus other dishes, and at such an affordable price.

On the Table

Manang’s Famous Liempo PHP 45 (2)

Thanks to Richard, my eyes were opened to the great-tasting liempo of Manang’s –who has become such an icon in the school grounds.

The slim cut of liempo, appropriately priced, had the right amount of sweet and soy marinade that seeped into the meat. The liempo was smoked perfectly leaving appetizing charred marks on the meat.

Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw PHP

Beans and Pumpkin in coconut cream was the perfect pair of the liempo. It’s a healthy side dish that complemented the grilled meat.

Giniling

Sautéed ground pork in tomato sauce with green peas, carrot, green bell pepper and potato

Rice (3) PHP

Bubba followed quite late but he was able to taste the liempo (complaining that I only left him a few pieces) and I got another cup of rice because two just didn’t cut out for both our appetites with the delicious Filipino viands in front of us.

After eating, I bought 2 more orders of liempo to go, which Bubba and I enjoyed at home. Next time, I’m going to buy more liempo to bring home and try their other dishes.

I’m from the rival school but if I knew Manang’s Clubhouse back in college, I wouldn’t mind driving all the way to Ateneo just to get lunch there.

By the way, CONGRATS to the Blue Eagles on the back-to-back UAAP basketball championship!!! 😉

Minute Maid Comment Winner Soon

March 4, 2010 by Janey

I know, I know. Waiting is an agony. It’s been a while and the Blog winner has been announced weeks ago. So what’s taking the delay? Well, there are more Comment entries than the Blog entries for one –which the client has to evaluate thoroughly because there are just too many good entries that it’s really difficult to pick a winner. I’m glad the decision is not in my shoulders since it’s really a tough call.

This is a short clip to update you that the client definitely hasn’t forgotten, but they are taking a bit more time in deciding. Winners will be announced SOON. Hold on to your seats!

Cheers! 🙂

And Good Luck Mates! 😉

72nd UAAP Men’s Basketball Finals (2009) Game 3: Battle for the Title

October 7, 2009 by Janey

The Ateneo Blue Eagles aimed to bank back-to-back titles when they clinched the first win in the final series of the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball tournament last October 1. The game ended with a 78-71 score with the Eagles leading the way by 13 points since the 1^st quarter. The UE warriors didn’t make it easy for the Eagles retorting with a 19-1 run before the end of the first half. The Eagles however held on to their game with the 2008 Most Valuable Player Rabeh Al-Hussaini clutching an impressive game with 28 points and 14 boards and Jai Reyes piling sets of triples.

Game Two proved to be a totally different story. University of the East made the most of the best-of-three finals bringing the series to a do or die match Game 3. Ateneo received quite a blow from the Warriors being behind by 20 points after the final buzzer. It’s been 24-years since UE scored a UAAP title and they want to discontinue that record this year. Last time Ateneo pulled a back-to-back series was in 1987-88, Ateneo is vying to replicate that.

The heat is rising –a smoking Game Three to watch out for.

Game 2 Scores:

UE 88 -Espiritu 22, Llagas 19, Lee 13, Acuña 12, Lingganay 7, Reyes 6, Zamar 5, Duran 4, Tagarda 0, Bandaying 0.

ATENEO 68 -Al-Hussaini 18, Monfort 12, Reyes 11, Baclao 10, Austria 6, Salamat 4, Long 3, Chua 2, Buenafe 2, Sumalinog 0, Salva 0.

PBB Double Up

October 6, 2009 by Janey

I missed the opening night of the Philippine reality hit TV show, PBB. This newest season dubbed as PBB Double Up launched last Sunday with 10 housemates and 2 pairs of male twins. The housemates were chosen from 57,824 applicants who personally went to the 18 audition sites located worldwide.

Princess, the Sassy Vamp ng Cebu

Tom, the Romantic Stud ng Samar

Delio, the Simpatikong Kusinero ng Batangas

Paul Jake, the Negosyante Prince ng Cebu

Jason, the Boy Astig ng Mindoro

Melissa, the Inday Kengkay ng Gen San

Yuri, the Multilingual Hottie ng Japan

Carol, the Conservative Pharmacist ng Tondo

Mariel, the Struggling Mom ng Davao –is she the one who looks a bit like Wendy Valdez from PBB Season 2?

Yhel, the Young Widow ng Pampanga

Toffi, the Basket Bolero ng Rizal, and his twin brother Kenny, the Joker Jock ng Rizal

JP, the Jetsetter Dad ng Quezon City,and his twin brother JM, the Delightful Dad ng Quezon City.

Paul Jake, Kenny, Yuri, Princess and Tom are the ones emerging to have interesting personalities.

The housemates are billeted separately in two houses and right after the opening night, the twin pair were put to a challenge. Inside the confession room that adjoins the two houses, Big Brother instructed the two sets of twins—JP and JM as well as Toffi and Kenny not to inform the other housemates about the other twin.

Image Source: PBB Multiply Site

The twins went to separate houses and spent some time there when Big Brother called them again to instruct them to exchange places. If they failed in this task, they will incur the penalty of forced eviction. Last night’s first official EP showed that the house where most of the girls are staying suspect that something is up, particularly Carol, the conservative pharmacist and instructor from Tondo. Melissa, the supposedly funny one from the group noticed the difference in weight and facial features when the other pair substituted.

Tune in to know if the big double secret will be busted before the actual reveal. This ABS-CBN show airs every weeknight, right after Dahil May Isang Ikaw.

The Big Winner of PBB Double Up will get P1 million cash, a house and lot worth P2.5 million, a water business franchise, and an Asian tour. Aside from that, the Final Four will get to choose charitable institutions that will receive cash amounts equivalent to what they would be taking home.

PBB Steaming is available on SKY Cable. Call 631-0000 for more information.

Fountain of Youth in Celeteque Advanced Moisturizer

August 18, 2009 by Janey

Usually 30-55 year old women worry about fine lines especially the wrinkles around the eyes known as crow’s feet. I still have some years left in me before I hit that considerable calendar birthday age (30 or 31), but I am at that stage where I should be taking steps to prevent or delay the inevitable –or at least, it was a foreseeable facial occurrence before Celeteque’s newest product.

Last Saturday, Celeteque revealed the results of their latest product challenge test. Earlier this year, the Céleteque Advanced team created the True Results Challenge, wherein over 50 Filipina women, aged 30 to 55 years old coming from all walks of life, became part of an amazing experience that resulted in roughly around 92% of their fine lines gone in 6 weeks.

These women were present during the event and gave their own testimonies regarding their experience with the product. Results vary but for most of them, they felt an amazing youthful transformation. Their skins feel smoother and younger and for some, it was 92-95% less fine lines since May this year!

Jennie, Between Bites, and Lace

For 38-year old Cecile Yatco, taking part of the Challenge was one of the best things she has ever done in her life. “I was really excited to join the True Results Challenge, because it was something new” she said. “Besides, I was really curious about their claim of up to 92% less fine lines in 6 weeks. I was thinking if it could really be true.”

Johanna Huang, a 43-year old interior designer, was also amazed by the product’s efficacy. “In my third day of using the product, I actually saw my embedded white heads start to come off. By the first week, I noticed that my freckles and sunspots were getting lighter” she reminisced. “And after a month I could actually see my fine lines diminishing. It was really amazing.”

The new Céleteque Advanced Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer has the Double Peptide Complex, which penetrates deep into the skin, and helps stimulate the formation of collagen. Collagen is the natural protein that plumps up skin thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and renewing outer layer of damaged skin.

Seeing is believing, especially for women at this day and age who have tried so many products in the market. There was also an assessment portion during the event where a dermatologist verifies the number of fine lines a woman has. With the number of lines examined and recorded, the women attendees are now going to take on the “True Results” challenge and see the honest to goodness truth for themselves.

Now, smoother and younger looking skin can be yours. Try the new Céleteque Advanced Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer and see the honest to goodness truth for yourself.

(Thanks Az for some of the photos!)

URCC XII Supremacy

July 18, 2008 by Janey

New presentor Colt 45 brought you URCC XII Supremacy at A-venue Events Hall, Makati Avenue, Makati City. The event that was set on July 5, 2008 highlighted the match between Caloy Baduria and Eduard Folayang (Link: ). I didn’t have to wait though for the main bout to see live and raw MMA action as all undercards gave a variety of quality combat sport. I have to say that this was the best set of undercard match-up as almost all fights were finished in round 1. Besides not hearing the Round 2 bell, fights were completed under 5 minutes except for one which is match number 9 between Justin Cruz and Lino Tagacay. Justin Cruz remained to be the Bantamweight title holder as Lino finally gave in on Justin’s ankle lock midway in Round 2.

Former Southeast Asian Games Champion Eduardo Folayang who seems to be made out of steel covered with flesh went on a slugfest on Caloy Baduria’s face. The ring floor was definitely not spared as blood and sweat splattered on the white sheet. Agony of the fighters was not constrained within the stage as the intimate space of the event area carried the pain to the audience.

It was an exciting event all throughout. I cannot wait for the next one. Oh, URCC 13, please come around the bend. By the way, I have a feeling I’ve met that middleman in the ring sometime before.
