Reckitt Benckiser Philippines Introduces New Veet Ambassador



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone experienced an evening of beauty and glamour when Reckitt Benckiser Philippines honored the first ever My Veet Girl last May 28, 6 p.m., at Prive Luxury Club, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.

My Veet Girl is a contest searching for the Filipina who embodies Veet’s essence — beauty and confidence. From among all the hopefuls, nine finalists have been chosen to compete for the title.

“We want to celebrate the beauty of Filipino women so we came up with this search. We also want all women to experience what beauty feels like; beauty that comes from having silky smooth, hair-free skin,” said Veet Brand Manager, Angelo Dapilan.


Arc Mobile : Is It Better than the Competition?


Wazzup Pilipinas!

I salute Pinoy products because I am a proud to promote Filipino made products that came from the creative minds and entrepreneurial spirit of Filipinos. Whether in or out of the Philippines, the Pinoy really makes an outstanding mark.

I most admire those businessmen who would try to compete with big brands in a world where branding and recognition is highly invested upon. We would see a lot of marketing efforts that would shell out a large financing in order to promote a brand.

It is such an inspiration knowing that locals would try to make a name out from a market that's already filled up with so many choices.


Sun Broadband Stages Cook Fest with Solenn, Inspires Filipinos to “Get There”



Wazzup Pilipinas!

I never knew this will be another memorable experience for me as I rubbed shoulders with Solenn Heussaff as one of my team mates during a cook fest challenge sponsored by Sun Broadband.

This is in line with their promotions of their WiFi stick that was designed to be used primamrily for vehicles as it comes with an adaptor for car charging.

What was amazing aside from the technological innovation from Sun, it was a huge surprise learning that Solenn was so knowledgeable in cooking, plus friendly and accommodating. She was also a team leader as she participated well in the team effort to be able to come up with dishes based only from the available ingredients given to us.

Details of the remarkable experience below.

Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes : Brightens Up My Day


Wazzup Pilipinas!

A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes. What's good about cupcakes is that they come in sizes enough for just one sitting. Unlike cakes where you have to slice it, cupcakes allows you to taste as much other variety as you want without ruining an entire cake.


I've been longing to write about Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes for the past weeks already since I was there at their restaurant in Eastwood, Libis Quezon City with my friends but the several out-of-town travels and daily events always kept me from sitting in front of my computer to write about it.

Its the hardest article to write about - the story about my dining experience with some fancy cupcakes and coffee concoctions to satisfy my cravings for the best tasting sweets and drinks.

Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes definitely made an impression, and a worthy piece to write about, which makes it really hard just to sit down and write some simple paragraphs.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

When we hear nuclear, danger may be the first thing that comes into mind but many do not realize that nuclear technology in small controlled doses can clearly help save lives.

Just like in the treatment of thyroid. A small dose of nuclear iodine will help dissolve the source of the problem.
