Let's try to be positive! It's a great thing for people to have health and wellness goals and trying to turn their lives around. It's not all about obesity but also for some ill worldwide, something needs to be done and get people in better shape! Joining a gym or dieting is a great way to do that; however, as you know, these "New Year Resolutioners" end up quitting within the first couple of weeks to a month. Why is this?

Because they do not know how to reach their goals. They think by just going to the gym or eating less unhealthy food that they will be able to lose weight or be healthy.

Why not try something that makes it easy to eat healthily and add more plants to one’s diet?
Let's try this:

MAIN INGREDIENTS
2 sweet potatoes
13.4 oz chickpeas
1 cucumber
½ oz fresh parsley
1 lemon
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp tahini

2 .
Make the cucumber chickpea salad

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve the cucumber(s) lengthwise and thinly slice. Pick the parsley leaves. Halve and juice the lemon(s). Add chickpeas, sliced cucumber, parsley leaves, just 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lemon juice, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil, and a pinch of salt to a large bowl. Toss the cucumber chickpea salad to combine.

7 LAST-MINUTE HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR LOVED ONES THIS 2020

December 26, 2020 0 Comments
If you’ve been busy all year and haven’t found time to finish your Christmas shopping, you are not alone! It’s definitely not too late to get your family and friends something special before the year ends and show them your love.
 
Since we’re all advised to stay home this holiday season, you don’t have to go out to get these items. Here are some gift ideas that are just a click away, and that you can order or make virtually and send to your loved ones before the year ends: 

1. A special playlist If you don’t want to spend money on a present but still want to make it extra special and personal, craft a special playlist for your friend that will make them remember the good times you’ve spent together. You can also include newly discovered songs or videos that you think they’ll love, or add in a few that you know will crack them up! Don’t forget to label it with a playlist name that’s very specific, quirky, or witty and share it via YouTube or Spotify! 





2. An iWantTFC premium subscription The holiday break is the perfect time for binge-watching! If your loved one is on the hunt for new shows to follow or intends to catch up with their favorite ABS-CBN show, you should sign them up for a premium, ad-free access to the iWantTFC streaming service, the biggest library of Filipino content! With over 1,000 movies, live channels, full episodes of classic and currently airing ABS-CBN shows, Thai boys’ love shows, and originals, one will never run out of things to enjoy on iWantTFC! Plus, a premium subscription only costs P119 a month. 

3. Tickets to concerts on KTX.ph Treat your loved one and their family to a concert without them having to go out of the house! Let them enjoy great live music while helping others in need by buying them a ticket (P1,200) to the special benefit Christmas concert titled "Our Grown-Up Christmas List,” featuring musical theater royalties Gian Magdangal and Carla Guevarra-Laforteza who will sing songs about “home, love, family, and friendship.” Access to the show is available for 48 hours from December 24 (8 PM) to December 26 (8 PM). Your friend can also usher in the New Year on December 31 starting 7 PM by watching Resorts World Manila’s “The Grand Countdown to 2021,” which will offer performances by Morissette, Jed Madela, Jona, and Jon Santos. The general admission ticket costs P600 and gives the holder access to the show only, while the special ticket costs P1,200 and gives the holder access to the show and a chance to win exciting gifts.

4. Digital scrapbook Instagram carousel posts are a good way to show your appreciation for someone, but why not make it more fun and unique by crafting a digital scrapbook of your favorite photos together? You can DIY your own design and layout using Photoshop or use free templates available online!


5. Cover of a song you want to dedicate to him/her In the mood to sing your heart out? Pick up an instrument and give your loved one an intimate performance of their favorite song! If your group or family wants to surprise someone, you can also use a social karaoke singing app like Smule to let you all cover a song separately without sharing a microphone! Unleash the performer in you and upload the video of your song cover on social media or just send it to your friend for their safekeeping. 

6. Gaming skins or in-game goodies Got a competitive friend who’s into Mobile Legends or League of Legends? The holiday season is the best time to spoil them by getting their gaming champions or their weapons a festive makeover, or by purchasing them event passes! If you’re not sure what to gift them, you can just send them over currencies in their favorite game. 

7. A personalized video greeting from your loved one’s favorite Kapamilya star If your goal is to make your loved one shocked or surprised by your gift, you should definitely go for a personalized video greeting from their favorites!

Revitalizing PH Tourism with “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita Manila”

December 17, 2020 0 Comments

The “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita Manila” online concert held last December 13 was a resounding hit! Aiming to promote Manila’s cultural heritage sites, the highly anticipated virtual concert succeeded in taking both local and international audiences at the edge of their seats for a unique and totally breath-taking spectacle.



Hundreds of thousands of viewers of “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita Manila’s” live online broadcast were thrilled to watch and listen to great local artists perform the groundbreaking Manila sound of Hotdog, at different Manila heritage sites. Bras Pas Pas Pas Pas and Bing Austria performed the song “Annie Batungbakal” at the intimately charming Paco Park, Raymund Marasigan and Yeng Constantino gave an animated performance of the song “Beh, Buti Nga” at the Museo Pambata, Bea Lorenzo showed off the walled city of Intramuros as she sang “Langit Na Naman”, and Nicole Laurel Asensio provided an elegant rendition of Hotdog’s “Panaginip” at the gloriously restored Jones Bridge.  Equally magnificent were Ebe Dancel and Blaster Silonga who serenaded viewers with the Hotdog classic “Ikaw ang Miss Universe” at the National Planetarium. Gary V and Armi Millare regaled audiences with the Hotdog standard “Manila” at Rizal Park, Luneta and,Team Vibe dancers who performed to “Bongga Ka ‘Day” at Manila City Hall’s Kartilya ng Katipunan, Lagusnilad and Kapetolyo in the finale. The mastering of the music was made possible by Rubber Inc and the foundation of all the songs, instruments, and arrangements were played by Bras Pas Pas Pas Pas, who also performed their rendition of “Una Sa Lahat”, “Pandesal Sa Umaga” and their own original tribute to Manila sound, “Disko Na.”


The music videos presented at the concert’s satellite locations were creatively directed by Juno Oebanda, RA Rivera, Paolo Valenciano, Jason Tan, Alco Guerrero and Quark Henares. The concert was produced by Juno Oebanda, Dindin Araneta and Jezreel Apelar with Department of Tourism Culture and  Arts of Manila Chief Charlie Duñgo and National Parks Development Committee Executive Director Cecille Lorenzana Romero at the helm. 


Tourism and the creative industry has been one of the hardest hit sectors of the economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But with the support of the Department of Tourism, Tourism Promotions Board Philippines, City of Manila,  Juancare Foundation Inc., and Viva Music Publishing Inc. working together with the Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts of Manila (DTCAM), National Parks Development Committee (NPDC), Intramuros Administration (IA), National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), Nayong PIlipino Foundation (NPF), and Museo Pambata to mount concerts like “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita Manila”, revitalizing the Philippine tourism sector is well within grasp.

How much easier it is to plan meals with Purple Carrot while the kids are in school? Healthy Decisions To Fight Against Diseases!

October 17, 2020 0 Comments

 **I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Recently, cases of COVID-19 have been described as a pandemic because the whole world is affected. Very few people will escape it and a lot of people died and will die. Naturally, you will want to ensure that your loved ones are as safe as possible. 

What will you do? It is far more cost-effective to be prepared beforehand than during any pandemic. And since it is back to school and the rainy season is approaching, your kids might need a lot of weapons to fight against diseases particularly the COVID-19. 

Here are some specific ways for healthy decisions:

1. Drink enough water -Try to drink 3-4 quarts of purified (preferably alkaline) water each day. Do it regardless of thirst. Drink more if sweating. Get it all done before supper so you don't have to race to the bathroom all night.

2. Sun -The sun is not the enemy, it is the energy that underlies all life. It has a critical impact on mood, immunity, general health, and vitality. Try to expose as much of the skin as possible to the sun every day for at least 30 minutes or so. In sunlight the skin synthesizes the most important vitamin/hormone in the body, vitamin D. Do not get burned since that can cause genetic damage to the skin. Use natural sunscreens, shade, and clothing to prevent overexposure. Use sun-mimicking, full-spectrum lighting in the home.

3. Eat more plants. 

Meals that are good for you, good for the planet… good for the kids and for everybody!

It's easier for moms like me to plan meals for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner with Purple Carrot.  We all know that kids are a picky eater. So I believe that it can help me. When you order a meal at Purple Carrot, you can customize it! Mix and match your meals to get a meal kit you’ll love. Choose from Quick & Easy, High-Protein, Gluten-Free, or Chef's Choice dinners.

Refried Butternut Tacos

with Grape Salsa & Cilantro Cabbage Slaw


Tamarind Cauliflower

with Gingered Fried Rice & Cashews


When you eat a plant-based diet good things happen:
  • Decreased chance of high blood pressure
  • Reduced risk of heart disease
  • Lower risk of diabetes


Purple Carrot makes it easy to cook new and inspiring vegan meals by bringing plant-based eating into the mainstream, ultimately improving health, the environment, and animal welfare.



4. Probiotics - Supplement the diet with probiotic cultures and eat foods such as yogurt (non-sugared) and other cultured and fermented products. These friendly bacteria fight pathogens, boost immunity, and synthesize vitamins, enzymes, and other nutritional factors.


5. Vitamins and minerals - Take full spectrum supplements every day. Modern factory farming and food processing diminish these nutrients in the food supply. The stresses of modern life also increase our needs. Larger doses than contained in the average diet have been proven to prevent and reverse a number of diseases.

6. Sleep - Getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep or closed eye rest each day is essential. If sleeplessness is a problem, get more physically active during the day. If unable to sustain sleep at night, be sure to take a nap during the day.

7. Radiation - Avoid it as much as possible. All radiation is harmful and increasing.

Take note of some of these healthy decisions to live longer. I hope I have helped you during these trying times. We are all in this together. Fighting!

How COVID-19 impacted the real estate market in the UK?

September 25, 2020 0 Comments
This COVID-19 pandemic really affects the whole world. It has rapidly spread and truly a global crisis as no country is spared. A lot of businesses have been impacted. Some responded to reducing hours of work, manpower, or closing down temporarily. Even the real estate industry is affected by this pandemic.

What is Real Estate?
When people ask "what is real estate investing" it normally has to do with you finding a good property below market value that will be generating short or long-term income. Whether it is residual income or profits from buying wholesale and selling retail. It all depends on what you have acquired the property for. Also depending on if you decide to sell or keep as a rental property, will determine what is known as return on investment. Basically, it comes down to how much money you spent versus how much money you got back in returns.
When we say real estate it always comes with a mortgage.

According to Money Advice Services in the UK,
"A mortgage is a loan taken out to buy property or land. Most run for 25 years but the term can be shorter or longer. The loan is 'secured' against the value of your home until it's paid off. If you can't keep up your repayments the lender can repossess (take back) your home and sell it so they get their money back." 
Here's Mortgage Calculator UK will help you calculate the interest rates of your loan. 


In addition to that, across the United Kingdom, around 65 thousand to 70 thousand mortgages are approved each month. This is from a low of around 30 thousand after the global financial crisis of 2008 to 2009. Prior to the recession, the monthly rate was closer to 80 thousand to 130 thousand loans completed per month. In the first quarter, this amounted to £63.3 billion in new loan originations.

The UK Government published a guide on home moving during the coronavirus outbreak.

The process of searching for and moving into a new home is different because property agents, conveyancers, and other professionals have modified how they work to reduce the risk from COVID-19. These changes could include doing more online, such as offering virtual viewings; vacating your current property during viewings; and ensuring your property is thoroughly cleaned before someone else moves in.

The Bank of England cut its interest rate to 0.1% on March 19, 2020. In spite of the BoE easing policy, many banks have tightened lending standards.

During lockdowns far fewer homes were sold across the UK, leading to record sales from pent-up demand after the lockdown ended.

According to The Guardian, UK recession expected to continue until spring amid Covid-19 surge. City says economic fightback is running out of steam as new restrictions are announced.

As a Covid-19 second wave spreads and the government launches fresh measures to restrict business and social life, City economists warned that the fightback from the deepest recession in history begun this summer was running out of steam.

Dashing hopes that the Covid recession could be among the shortest downturns in history, analysts from Bank of America said growth in gross domestic product (GDP) would probably stall in the fourth quarter and the first three months of 2021.

Robert Wood, the chief UK economist at the bank, said: “We struggle to see how the economy can grow in the fourth quarter with escalating lockdown measures, fading stimulus and Brexit risks.”

At the end of the day, everyone should stay at home, be safe and be strong. May this pandemic ends very soon. Let's all pray and have faith.
