That "Pocketful of Fun" found in every Gardenia's Pocket Sandwich


Bagets, kulets, chikitings, kiddos... whatever I may want to call them, they're my bundles of joy who bring #PocketFullOf #Fun most especially when we're having our "merienda" and munching on #GardeniaPh latest product :#PocketSandwich 
I dig the Peanut Butter filled white bread while they love  the chocolate filled one. 
A healthy snack that's guaranteed freshly baked everyday for only Php15 



Nowadays, everything is just so accessible, handy, easy to reach, almost anything is also feasible. We become too much involved in social media, on the internet, and with what's happening around the globe. Almost everything is based on the net, technology is eating us out so fast, sometimes we tend to neglect some of the most relative and essential things that we all ought to have. 

So what am I referring to? It's all about having this priceless bonding, fun, sharing and appreciating our loved ones that they are always there for us and we are also here for them.Our family relationship is all that matters, right? Don't you miss that feeling that, every time we go home from work, or from anywhere we've been to, that feeling of excitement that we come home for them, we go home to see their wonderful and "eager to see you" faces! 

In this modern world, I've really noticed the drastic change in this routine. It's really upsetting to also know that, part of this situation, some households also tend to neglect or in a way, do not take time to put focus on their family's welfare when it comes to what type or kind of food they consume. On this note, I'd like to introduce to all of you, my dear amazing readers, Gardenia's latest product that's filled with flavor and fun plus it's also a healthy snack for each and every member of our family. 



The actual Gardenia's Pocket Sandwich 






For every Gardenia's Pocket Sandwich, you'll experience the soft, creamy, flavor-filled freshly-baked sandwich that's sure to fit our daily budget. 



There are two "Pocketful of Fun" flavors to choose from!

Chocolate Filled White Bread

The chocolate flavor is not that strong, not too sweet, It's just right to make our young ones be fond of it! It's creaminess is just enough plus no greasy or oily taste. 


Peanut Butter Filled White Bread


Aside from the fact that I am also a choco-lover, this Peanut Butter filled white bread is as appealing as the first one! You could really taste its peanut butter-y flavor that would really push you to munch for more!!! 



Aside from making these amazing pocket sandwich a regular "baon," for our beloved students, we always see to it that, we do not run out of these every time we go out with the kids! 



And because it's carefully sealed individually, that makes it very handy and kid-friendly, you would not regret introducing it to your family, relatives and friends ever! Look at my Baby Bryce, one Peanut Butter filled white bread is not enough for him, hahaha he really couldn't get enough of it! 






As a mom, I am talking to you... this Gardenia's Pocket Sandwich is worth every penny, most especially for the very busy and modern lifestyle family. Aside from bringing "Pocketful of Fun," love and bonding to our family, we also get to munch and enjoy sharing it.
 It's what priceless moments is all about, after all...

Stay Healthy, Stay Happy: 10 foolproof ways to lead a healthier lifestyle






As we enter the New Year, many of us promised to commit to a healthier lifestyle as part of our New Year’s Resolutions. Sticking to a resolution is easier said than done, but as long as we have a plan to fall back on, it shouldn’t be as daunting or as difficult as it seems. To help us out, here are 10 foolproof ways to ensure that we live a healthier and happier lifestyle.

1.    Eat more fruits and vegetables.
-       The health benefits of eating a diet with generous servings of fruits and vegetables are endless. Not only are they dense sources of a variety of essential minerals and nutrients, they are generally high in fiber which will keep your digestive system happy and smooth-running. Pro-tip: fruits and veggies have unique antioxidant properties depending on their color. Eat the rainbow!

2. Go for regular check-ups.
-       Don’t leave your body to take care of itself. We all need a little help sometimes, and your doctor’s job is to ensure that everything is in tip-top condition and to provide solutions when needed.

3. Stay stress-free.
-       While diet and exercise are very important in leading a healthy lifestyle, your mindset and attitude may be sabotaging their benefits. Stress can affect your sleep, your tendency to engage in unhealthy behaviors, and your productivity. Ensure that your lifestyle is as stress-free as possible by organizing your financial and work life; create a long-term financial plan to alleviate financial pressures and increase your financial security.

4. Avoid foods high in saturated fat and simple sugars.

-       Swap out your white bread for wholegrain, and use canola or olive oil instead of butter in your cooking. Complex carbohydrates give you slow-release energy which will keep you energised throughout the day, and unsaturated fats will promote healthy cholesterol levels, keeping you trim and combating fatigue.





5. Find an exercise program you enjoy.
-       It is no secret that exercise gives you more energy, helps keep your head clear, and keeps you in shape. Find what you enjoy and stick to it! If you hate jogging, try dancing. If you don’t like exercising alone, look to join a basketball or frisbee team.

6. Make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep per night.
-       Give your body a well-deserved break, so that it can re-energize and prepare itself for a happy and productive day.



7. Ditch your unhealthy vices.
-       Smoking, drinking, or consuming too much caffeine is toxic to our bodies. Replace your unhealthy habits with healthier ones, such as exercise. If you are struggling to give up smoking, join a program that offers support and guidance.

8. Make time for friends and family.
-       Social interaction is essential to human well-being. Appreciate the supportive people in your life and invest in the meaningful connections that will ultimately lead you to a happier lifestyle. 

9. Stay hydrated.
-       The common recommendation for water intake is eight 8-ounce glasses a day. Drinking a sufficient amount of water promotes healthy skin and will prevent headaches and other symptoms of dehydration. Additionally, for those of us trying to lose weight, a common sign of dehydration is the feeling of hunger despite having eaten adequately. Drink up!

10. Set and track fitness goals by using apps and devices.

-       Having fitness goals is a sure fire way of ensuring happiness; overcoming hurdles, whether small or big, can increase your confidence. One fitness app that helps you track your progress and remind you to hit some benchmarks is Philam Vitality Active, a free mobile app that allows you to enjoy immediate and free rewards such as free cinema ticket, free game of bowling to name a few, upon completion of your weekly goals. To experience a whole new journey to being fit and healthy, you may download the Philam Vitality Active app now available in Apple Store Phils or Google Play and sign-up using the promo code “liveactive”.


Following these simple steps will ensure that you can make the most of 2017 towards a healthier and happier you.

Chan Lim's auspicious legacy in Chinese Artistry

Chan Lim during their art exhibit at SM City North Edsa The Block 

It was one fine Sunday afternoon when I was invited to attend the art exhibit of Chan Lim Family of Artist and Students at SM City The Block in North Edsa, Quezon City. I've only heard of Chan Lim's legacy in Chinese artistry and culture before, little did I know that I would be able to meet and talk to him personally. 

Just to give you a background...

The Chan Lim Family of Artists has been engaged in the arts for close to half a century. In the present, there are three generations of Chan Lim artists who use a wide variety of media, styles and techniques to incorporate Western into Eastern art. The family continues to get involved in the arts by actively developing and promoting Chinese brush painting in the Philippines and abroad. The Chan Lims also support several charitable organizations with a special focus on environmental sustainability.
The passion of Chan Lim, the family patriarch, lies in Oil and Watercolor. While most of his art are on canvas, he has forayed into other media such as porcelain plates, Asian lanterns and fans to infuse Western techniques into the traditional Eastern art. The Chan Lim siblings Alex, Felix, Rolex and Jolex are all engineers by profession and are currently engaged in leadership positions with multinational companies. Bound by their passion for the arts, the Chan Lim family of Artists has conducted numerous art classes, workshops, seminars, and on-the-spot painting demonstrations. They have joined several art exhibits locally and internationally. The elder Chan Lims have successfully nurtured the artistic talents of the third generation. The younger brood enjoys experimenting with different types of media, along with modern digital techniques, and incorporates these into Chinese art.
The year 2017 celebrates Chan Lim's 80th birth year, a very auspicious milestone in the Chinese culture. All the art exhibits during the year will be highlighting this event Eight of the exhibits will be specially-themed to celebrate the felicitous family event.
The Chan Lim family is one of the few remaining notable Chinese brush painting artists in the country today, and is sought after in this field. Art classes are conducted in the family studio located in Pasig City. Their paintings can be found in private collections here and abroad.

For me, it was a very huge privilege to finally get to know more of the back story of how his artistic legacy began from the patriarch himself, Mr. Chan Lim. I've learned from him that,he started painting when he was only 13 years old and that his passion for this has really persuaded him to further pursue into Chinese artistry thereby also promoting their culture blended with the Western artistry. 
His desire to further express his passion was very well supported by his family and thereby influencing them as well to engage to this kind of art. He also told us that his son, Alex, started much younger than him, he was only 11 years old when he started to give brushstrokes a try. 

Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students

Aside from celebrating the Chinese New year, the patriarch himself will be celebrating his 80th birthday this coming March. His only wish for his birthday was, to his legacy to still continue and broaden. 


Chan Lim with his own-painted horses and landscapes 

During our interview with him, he had led us to one of his favorite artworks the seven horses and the landscapes which according to him, he painted when they visited China. Based from his enthusiastic tone, we have felt how excited he was and the thrill of making his pieces of artwork. Just imagine all those beautiful memories and back stories that has enveloped all those masterpieces?! Only he can ever tell... 


Chan Lim's favorite Coi Painting


Mr. Chan Lim  has a lot of interesting stories to tell, and that his Coi painting is his favorite one, since he favors more of animal subjects, he admitted. He says those Cois give good luck to business. When we asked him about his first few paintings, if he was able to keep those or sell, he told us that, only one was left with him. The reason why? It was unintendedly left inside a cabinet. And when we asked if is he willing to still sell it? His reply was, "Ayaw ko na."  Best decision indeed! 



"ONE AFTERNOON"


Description:
Chan Lim first tried his hand at painting when he was in his childhood years. He began to show interest, which eventually became his favorite past time while he was growing up. "One Afternoon," was one of his early artworks, done in the year 1966 in Baesa, Quezon City. Celebrating his 80th birthday this year, Chan Lim continues to paint on various subjects such as landscape, seascapes, flowers, birds, humans and animals.

Can't help but to be amazed!

My whole experience at the art exhibit of Chan Lim Family of Artists and students has really inspired me a lot. I may not be as good as them, but somehow, I know I can handle my brushstrokes very well and  I've created a landscape before with watercolor as my medium and my art teacher had it for the exhibit in our school. 

It is very interesting to have learned also those stories behind these wonderful pieces of art and how the Chan Lim's auspicious milestones began. I just hope that what Chan Lim has already started and established in the world of Chinese culture and artistry, may they continue to soar and spread good vibes and good views to all the people globally.

The exhibit is participated by 43 talented artists and will be held from January 15 to February 12 at The Block Atrium of SM City North EDSA.

Witness the majestic exhibit and take part in celebrating a prosperous year ahead!

GMA's "Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa," TV adaptation to savor your Afternoon Prime




"Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa," was a hit movie way back 1987 which starred Maricel Soriano, Lorna Tolentino and Gabby Concepcion. The film was created by award-winning writer Gilda Olvidado and was directed by the late Ishmael Bernal under Regal Films. 

At present time, GMA had it for TV adaptation with its pilot episode slated last January 30, 2017.  It stars Julie Anne San Jose, LJ Reyes and Benjamin Alves with Jean Garcia as the matriarch. One of the directors of the latest tv drama series, Ms. Laurice Guillen has said that, they had made some changes and revisions in this tv offering, they've added more characters and aside from that, instead of having a patriarch which was played by veteran actor Eddie Garcia in the film before, they had Ms. Jean Garcia.

Fate has really brought them together, for whatever reason, we will all find out as we follow the characters' journey everyday in GMA's Afternoon Prime at 4:15. Julie Anne San Jose plays Santina, an orphaned girl who was forced to work hard after her aunt’s death. Later on, she will work in one of the restaurants of Diony played by Ms. Jean Garcia. Due to her kindness, Diony will send her to school and treat her as her own daughter.

Julie Anne San Jose as Santina


Benjamin Alves as Ephraim


LJ Reyes as Angeli





LJ, on the other hand, is Angeli. She is homeless and is longing for a mother’s love. Diony will adopt Angeli and she will eventually help her in running the business.

As Santina and Angeli’s worlds collide through Diony, the two will also vie for Ephraim’s love (Benjamin Alves). Ephraim is Diony’s son who blamed her for the death of his sister. At first, Angeli will see Ephraim as a competition but after an incident, she will fall secretly and obsessively in love with him. Ara Mina as Mariz, is Angeli's neglectful mother. Angeli is a product of rape that's why Mariz hates her daughter and left her with Diony.


Jean Garcia as Diony



Julie Anne and Benjamin



Meanwhile, Santina and Ephraim are childhood best friends. Their friendship will eventually blossom into a romantic relationship. Known for getting everything she wants, Angeli will stop at nothin from getting not only Diony’s attention but also Ephraim’s love. But Santina is also willing to fight for herself and for the people she loves. In the end, who will get the love that she’s been hoping for? Santina or Angeli? And how are they supposed to fight for it when they’re just both pinulot lang sa lupa?

This masterpiece by Ms. Gilda Olvidado exhibits and features a lot of human interests which we can all ponder and realize as the series goes. Being grateful, is one of the prime factors here, when Diony took care of Santina and adopted Angeli, her pure heart has prompted her to do so, plus the trust is there. And on the other hand, Santina and Angeli should be very grateful to their matriarch whom they also consider their second mother. Each and everyone of us should never take for granted how to be grateful and must learn to look back at the beautiful and positive things one has brought to us.  

Next thing is love. Love and obsession are two different feelings. If you are way too much preoccupied with an often unreasonable idea or feelings to someone, I guess, it's not love at all. In the case of Angeli, she's fallen for Ephraim and that she considers Santina a tight competitor at that rate. Angeli also feels envious of Santina. These state of mind and emotions, has pushed her to become obsessed and vindictive, another human factor of the subconscious mind. 

What do you think would Diony feel if she finds out that her two adopted daughters Santina and Angeli were competing for the love of her very own son, Ephraim? Would she rather choose for her son or will she let Ephraim decide on his own? Where will this love and drama story lead us to? 

By the way, this project is the very first team up of Kapuso stars Julie Anne San Jose and Benjamin Alves. So do check this latest from Kapuso Network for this will savor your Afternoon Prime. 






Martin del Rosario as Kiko



"Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa" features an ensemble of talented Kapuso actors aside from Julie Anne San Jose,  Benjamin Alves and LJ Reyes, Martin del Rosario plays Kiko in the story, the supposed childhood friend of Santina. 

Joining them are Victor Neri as Cesar, Allan Paule as Hector, Geleen Eugenio as Yoleng, Janna Dominguez as Chona, Lharby Policarpio as Boggs.

Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa is also under helm of award-winning actress and director Gina Alajar together with second unit director Aya Topacio.


Behind this engrossing drama is the creative team composed of Creative Director Roy Iglesias; Creative Block Head Jake Tordesillas; Creative Consultant Aloy Adlawan;  Headwriter Marlon Miguel; Writers John Kenneth de Leon, Maria Priscilla Hidalgo; Brainstormers Kenneth Angelo Enriquez, Gilda Olvidado-Marcelino, Roda Sulit Marino; Concept Creator Gilda Olvidado-Marcelino.
