Do we always need to be in a hurry? Should we always race against time? Should we make every moment count as if it was our last day on Earth? I know that life has a lot of responsibilities that need to be addressed immediately, but there should also be times when we need to let loose and let go of the complexities and priorities so we could relax and re-energize.

Pause for awhile, pamper yourself, indulge on your favorites, give in to the temptations and you'll be surprised that you're now looking differently at the world. All it takes is a short pause good enough to show you a different perspective of the world around you.

Taking a flight across the different islands is a splendid adventure! However, your adventure usually starts when you arrive at your destination. Many should also consider making use of the travel time as part of the adventure. It's an unexplored opportunity to bond with friends and families - to strengthen the ties that unite by simply having more time to cuddle up in bed or breathe the fresh and warm sea air aboard a cruise ship via 2GO Travel.

Are you one of those who love taking photos of themselves using their smartphones?...and then uploading them instantly on their social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter or whatever is available and accessible to your mood of the hour.

It has made history to be called as the "selfie" - that shameless plugging of oneself over the Internet for many people to see - and whether you're self-portrait depicts you as smiling, frowning, pouting, and/or using a photo filter or enhancer to create a more appealing image of yourself, the fact remains that the "selfie" you shared with the world may or may not be the real you.

Many have shared countless images of themselves online only to be scrutinized or applauded due to varying factors. But still, these "comments" may also not be the real deal.

Are "selfies" just a form of vanity gone out of control? Too much love for oneself?

The popularity of celebrity chefs on TV somehow makes me want to challenge them if they could really offer excellent food other than just their great looks and mesmerizing foodie talk.

I've seen a lot of them in television, cooking demos in trade fairs, exhibits, etc., and even as judges for anything related to food - undoubtedly they have become popular - admit it or not, they have the appeal of the masses! I guess Filipinos either love to cook, or love to eat - maybe both!

Chef Lau is one of them - and with that rockstar long-hair look, he definitely catches the attention of many especially when he came out on TV alongside celebrity Judy Ann Santos at the Pinoy Junior Master Chefs cooking reality show for kids.

You have to admit that "looks" really bring out a great first impression. If you see how extraordinary a place is decorated or furnished, then you somehow get an expectation that there's probably a lot more interesting things they can offer.

This is what happened to me after I passed by the SM Megamall branch of Kainan sa Kalye Kanluran or KKK for short. They also call it KKK Food Revolution, and maybe Kainan ng mga Kapuso at Kapamilya (at Kapatid) since celebrities from the different TV stations frequent the restaurant. KKK also once held on the acronym of K3 after the emergence of its 3rd outlet at the Robinson's Place Manila.

I rarely go through the basement path at Building B of the SM Megamall so even though they've been there for so long, it was my first time to see this restaurant. Luckily, I took the road less traveled that day so I was fortunate enough to see for the first time a gem of a restaurant.

Enjoy seamless coverage under any outfit with Jockey Skimmies Slipshorts. A breakthrough product in women’s intimate wear, Jockey Skimmies is what you get when you cross a half-slip with shorts, the kind you might wear underneath a too-short dress.

But Jockey Skimmies are not shorts – they are the perfect undergarment for extra coverage and added comfort. Made of silky-smooth fabric, a pair of Skimmies glides beautifully under skirts and lets tight dresses skim lightly over your thighs. It has just the right amount of stretch to smooth down your thighs and lower abs and a comfortable waistband keeps everything in place without causing unflattering bulges.

Jockey Skimmies are designed for everyday wear. No matter how quickly you walk, they won’t roll up or grip uncomfortably. A blended cotton gusset is sewn onto the inner thigh to prevent chafing and discomfort, while a triangle back construction allows for an increased range of motion. Thanks to its lighter-than-air material, Jockey Skimmies can be worn comfortably in the summer and won’t trap heat even in the hottest of days.

Jockey Skimmies are available in nude, black and gray. Try them for yourself!

Time for some reading - OFFLINE!

So surprised to find myself reading a book about skin care written by Stanford-trained dermatologists Katie Rodan, M.D., and Kathy Fields, M.D., who revolutionized the treatment of acne.

Well that what it says in their book entitled "The Doctors' Secrets to a Lifetime of Clear Skin".

Written especially for people suffering from acne problems, or as a great gift for those who have acne. It is a truly life-changing source of credible information presented via 30 vital nuggets of skin care knowledge that will guide you through a life without acne.

The book clearly delivers in a fun-to-read, short-and-sweet style to give you a lifetime of smooth, clear and healthy-looking skin.
