Sun's Halo

Here are photos of the sun around noon...



These photos were taken along Illustre st., Davao City. I've seen a moon with a halo a few times but this is my first time to see a halo surrounding the sun... At first, I thought there was an eclipse going on but later on, I realized it was not. I couldn't help myself and captured a few shots even though I was struggling with the things I was carrying. :)

Breeze Pays Tribute to Hardworking Hero Moms with Nationwide 1 Laba Day

Celebrating the heroes of the home, Breeze treated more than 19,000 hardworking moms across the Philippines to a day of rest, games and exciting surprises at the first-ever 1 Laba Day. The leading detergent brand took care of their laundry chores, washing a total of 481,536 clothes, in a series of events held simultaneously in multiple barangays in Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Batangas, Cebu, and Davao.



Sige Moms Christine Bersola-Babao, Dimples Romana and Gladys Reyes tackle their mommy duties with ease, thanks to Breeze 1 Laba guarantee. 

Celebrity moms and surprise guests, including Sige Moms Christine Bersola-Babao, Gladys Reyes and Dimples Romana, headlined the nationwide events. At Barangay Commonwealth in Quezon City, radio DJ Laila Chikadoraalso kept the crowd entertained with her witty jokes and led the fun bingo games where moms won bicycles, skateboards, inflatable swimming pools and other toys for their children. These prizes were meant to encourage moms to be Sige Moms who let their kids play and go on exciting adventures.

While the moms enjoyed their day off from doing the laundry, Breeze Laba Ladies and LabaMachines, sponsored by campaign partners Electrolux, LG, Whirlpool and White Westinghouse, took care of washing their clothes.

“We know how hardworking our mommies are, spending as much as three to four hours a day doing the laundry. Today, Breeze is taking care of washing their clothes so they can have some time for themselves and to have fun, as our way of thanking them and recognizing their admirable efforts,” said Mara Banson, Breeze brand manager.


“As part of the Circle of Sige Moms, our job is to encourage mommies to allow their kids to be kids, even if it means getting dirty or having stained clothes,” said Christine. “When we say yes to playing and going on adventures, we say yes to our children’s intellectual, emotional and physical growth.”


“My daughter Callie is very artsy and likes working with her hands. We love baking and often, we’d be covered in icing and food color of every hue,” said Sige Mom Dimples. “But I’m glad I allowed her to do that, because it’s very fulfilling when you see your child achieve great things because you allow them to do their own thing and pursue their passions.”


“Being a mom is a 24/7 job,” added Sige Mom Gladys. “But because we have a dependable partner in Breeze, doing the laundry becomes easier and effortless. We can spend less time on washing clothes and have more time for ourselves and our family.”


1 Laba guarantee

Boasting of a revolutionary formulation, Breeze with ActivBleach empowers mommies everywhere to take on their endless tasks, removing even the toughest of stains in just one wash. Safe for both white and colored clothes, Breeze has a four-enzyme technology that removes more types of stains and a patented whitening technology that delivers visible whiteness in just one wash.

Breeze with ActivBleach is also the first and only detergent brand with melamine perfume encapsulation technology that blooms in wash and bursts in wear, making sure that clothes keep smelling clean and fresh even when worn. It even has a unique active system for better foam profile and quicker lather, plus percarbonate TAED bleach that takes out bleachable stains without harming the environment.

From September 1 to 7, mommies can also win a washing machine from Breeze in the Breeze 1Laba Challenge promo. To join, participants simply need to like the official Breeze Facebook page www.facebook.com/breezephilippines and look for the 1 Laba Day status update. They should then leave a comment on the post, with a photo of themselves doing the 1 Laba pose holding a Breeze pack and using the hashtag #Breeze1Laba.

Take on millions of stains in just one wash with Breeze with ActivBleach, available in three sizes at supermarkets and groceries nationwide: 70g, 700g and 1450g packs.

I went there with my blogger friends, thanks to Smart Communications and Spectrum PH who had given us VIP passes to the Kadayawan Invasion 2014.

Kadayawan Invasion 2014

It was my first time to see a huge crowd, jumping and dancing to this new craze; the EDM (Electronic Dance Music). They still continue to dance and party even though its raining. I on the other hand went home before the clock hits 12, cinderella? Hahaha! Nah, I still have  toddler waiting for me at home... ;)

Well, even if I went home earlier than my blogger friends, I still had fun. I met my hubby's cousin, Claire and greeted her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We had a blast, everyone really had fun regardless of the "hipon" issue... Let's not talk about it, better check this video clip that I captured during the Kadayawan Invasion 2014 and see how everyone REALLY had FUN! ;)

Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"

Bioessence Launches Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) Technology


Bioessence had launched its latest treatment which is the Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) Technology last Sunday, July 6, 2014 at the Abreeza Mall activity center. Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) Technology is the most recent and impressive machine that can bring multiple effects. The first and new concept of combining IPL and laser power source to create new pulse and speed! It is great on hair removal, photo-rejuvenation, acne clearance and pigmented lesions. So, if you want to get rid of an unwanted hair, stubborn acne or freckles, and lightening pigmented lesion or brightening your skin, the DPL technology can make it possible in one easy step. 

This revolutionary machine has dual pulse shape delivery appropriately named the LPD or Laser Power Delivery and the SPD Smart Power Delivery that treats acne, destroys epidermal melasma, improves the skins tone and reduces unwanted hair. The treatment is just quick and easy and will not interfere woth your normal daily activities.



John Pol, a singer and a mainstay on the show 'Walang Tulugan' was there to entertain the people. He sang the hit song from the movie Frozen, 'Let it go', some famous OPM songs and a song from his second single 'Kung May Oras Pa'.



Model and actor, Victor Basa is also there and sang some songs to entertain us before joining Dra. Marie Ruth Bolcan and John Pol for the press conference.

One of the Davao Bloggers, Angel, asks Victor Basa about his Blog (www.victorbasa.net). What are his interests and what kind of topics does he usually write on his blog. Men's interest, health, sports and wellness are some of the topics he writes on his blog. Victor also love to share the behind the scenes on some of his shows or movies and give his fans an inside look of the showbiz world. He also do reviews on gadgets and other technology stuff on his blog. 

Mark, a member of the Davao Bloggers also ask Victor Basa about his current projects and he said he  is currently working on a project for the Metro Manila Film Festival which is the Magnum Muslim .357.

Naprey, who is also a member of the Davao Bloggers asks Dra. Bolcan some questions regarding DPL. Watch it for more informative discussion on DPL.



The difference between regular Waxing and Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) Technology:

Dra. Bolcan says that waxing is just pulling the hair and the follicles will still grow after a period of time, while the DPL is a combination of IPL and laser, it is a heat absorption by the hair, destroying eventually the hair follicles so it will not grow again.

An advice from Dra. Bolcan for the women who wants to try DPL for hair removal, you must be at least 18 years old. It wouldn't be that effective for younger women who have hair follicles that are still developing.

If you want to experience the Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) Technology try their introductory offer: Get Two (2) sessions free for every 5 sessions enrolled in any of their branches:
