Wazzup Pilipinas!

With much excitement Sugarleaf announces its learning activities for the first half of 2014. Join us in any or all of our activities.

More than juicing, Juice Therapy! A workshop by Sugarleaf on 8 March, 230 to 430pm at Sugarleaf Makati and 22 March at Sugarleaf Greenhills

Juicing will be the IN thing this 2014 and is expected to stay unlike fad and yoyo diets that usually don't work and leave one feeling deprived.

Join us in a fun interactive two-hour workshop on juicing at Sugarleaf Makati with our resident Juice Therapist Rman Lorenzo who created Juice Therapy or JT, a smarter more sustainable approach to juicing.

JT is the result of much research on the health benefits of juicing (more than just detox and weight loss) and combining organic and naturally grown fruits and vegetables into delightfully delicious and colourful elixirs.

Da Who of Social Media: Intriguing Facts Revealed Online?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As what one netizen once said "Yesteryear's issues pale in comparison to what we have today."

Ironically one would post "Kung may "kaaway" ka, dapat yung away sa inyong dalawa lang. Hindi yung mandadamay ka pa ng ibang taong wala namang kinalaman sa gulo nyo. Unless may sumawsaw in your defense, otherwise keep other people out of it. Of course you can always go to your friends for sympathy. Your truest friends can advise you kung nasa tama ka ba o mali."

But why constantly rant online about other people and entertain comments from friends who would either make the matter worst by adding further insults and side-topics against the person in discussion, or exaggerate to the extreme claiming the person is making it look bad for the entire community. Wow! Is the accused that influential to claim responsibility for all? Does he represent all his peers from the same industry? It's like telling everyone that a mistake of one is the downfall of many.

You are going against what you were saying. You are sharing the news with the rest of the world and social media has a way of making rumors go viral especially when your online friends are rumor-mongers like you. Don't you understand that social media may be the best for crowd-sourcing but it is also the most effective way to make or break a reputation.....not only of the person you are humiliating, but also of yourself.
