Everyone would agree when I say that the hair is our crowning glory.

Yes! Even men can consider their hair as their crowning glory because the form, color and condition of the hair even for men would reflect their personality and their outlook from other individuals. If you have great hair, then people see you positively.

Vaniderm, the same company that produces Lucida DS, also introduces the Gugo & Aloe Vera Shampoo with VCO, an all-natural shampoo formulated to help thicken hair, prevent premature hair loss and make the scalp healthy.

Wazzup Pilipinas !

The second consecutive search for The Outstanding Filipino Farmers (TOFARM) was launched a few days ago by the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Philippines and Universal Harvester, Inc. (UHI). It was held in a prestigious recognition program for the most noteworthy achievers in various categories of the farming sector.

Revived last year to acknowledge the increasingly important role that the farming sector has played in boosting the economy, and to inspire more young people to turn to agriculture as a livelihood, TOFARM 2013 wants to identify more unsung heroes in the fields, seas and urban areas from North Luzon to Southern Mindanao.

The nationwide awards program will cite best practices of public and private entities engaged in traditional or modern farming that includes fisherfolk, animal raisers, cooperatives, farm communities, organizations, scientists, the academe, LGUs and public employees, as well as business entities in rural and urban areas.

Environmental Penalties For Those That Deserve It : "You Don't Do That To Us"

Wazzup Pilipinas !

"It is sad when politicians, media, and the church meddle on mining issues in a way that is not fair, consistent, and just. Further sad is when environmentalist groups become inconsistent as well on which mining issue they will speak up and criticize."

The statement above from this article related to Mining controversies was the most striking as we seem to really have plenty of "politics" involved in all the issues surrounding well-known companies or personalities.

In this day and age, you wouldn't really know who to trust and who to believe. Everyone has their own "dirty little secrets" like the dirt that we often hide under the carpet.

General's Lechon: Its the Best Lechon I've Tasted So Far

Wazzup Pilipinas !

I got invited to taste a lechon brand a few days ago and I can't believe we've been missing out on this particular brand for a long time now. Like what the owner said, the taste was "heavenly" and anyone will be willing to indulge on a lechon feast even for just today once they taste it for themselves. It was truly the tastiest lechon I've tasted so far, and believe me when I say, I've tasted a lot already.

For every special celebration, it will not be complete without the grandest meal you can think of. The lechon has been a custom already in the Philippine culture as the most festive way to make an occasion so uber special and memorable.

Serve the best dishes and appreciate the sparkle in everyone's eyes as they dig in to a feast meant for the gods. Heck, even the popular lechons from Cebu were no match to the delightful taste of General's Lechon.

Inquirer Teams Up with Bloggers

The Inquirer newspaper has always been my favorite newspaper since childhood. I still remember reading my favorite articles from their columnists every time I get the chance to grab a copy of this newspaper with the "fearless views". I guess their writers are among  the best there is, having a no holds barred identity that i really loved. ...and I had such a fascination with word play back then where I even use a Thesaurus just to be able to use highfalutin words.

That was why I was so excited when I found out I will be working with Inquirer soon.

Inquirer Classified Ads head  Mr.Jesse Rebustillo, together with his team, proposed to create a bloggers team to start and have a dry run on their new On-line Classified Ads and their Pinoy Best Deals On-line which will cater on the Buying and Selling Marketers who will need to promote, advertise and sell  their products at very reasonable charges online without doing any legwork and much talking.
