Sarah Lahbati on the Cover of Sense & Style Magazine September 2014 Issue

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"I'm done trying to please other people" says a sexier and stronger Sarah Lahbati who is now the cover model for Sense & Style magazine September 2014 issue.

Best remembered for her title role in the GMA afternoon soap, “Kokak”, Sarah Lahbati was also Richard’s love interest in last year’s short-lived primetime teleserye “Makapiling Kang Muli”. She also made headlines as a spokeswoman for breast cancer awareness.

Born in Geneva, Switzerland as Sarah Lahbati Alzol, she bagged the title as “Ultimate Female Survivor” in 5th season of Starstruck, GMA 7’s reality search for new talents but she got more attention after expressing her dissatisfaction with her network which later led to her desire to be let go from her contract, and eventually being countersued by GMA 7. But the real highlight was when she and Richard Gutierrez admitted to their relationship and their baby Zion.

And it's out! They've got a double cover special! Metro's Big Fashion Issue featuring 'It' girl and multi-hyphenate @solennheussaff in Belgium. Cover 1 of 2 is shot in the capital city of Brussels, where Solenn wears head-to-toe Salvatore Ferragamo. On the second cover, @solennheussaff wears a Ricky Vicencio dress, and was also shot in Brussels.

Though Solenn is admittedly drop-dead gorgeous, the front cover seems to be more like what FHM would put in their covers. But, wait--yes, they've got more surprises for you! This special double cover also features two other covers on the gatefold.

The first gatefold reveals @solennheussaff in a Jaz Cerezo dress, undergarments by Bench Body, and shoes by Erika Lauren dela Cruz shot against Antwerp's dramatic architecture. While on the second gatefold cover, @solennheussaff opts for sensual safari style in Bruges.

"Listen to an interesting discussion on the ins and outs of BLOGGING. This was a fun interview I did a few weeks ago with leading Filipino bloggers Ross Flores Del Rosario, Kathy Kenny Ngo, and Kaye Rey. This episode of "Philippines Uncut" entitled "All About Blogging" aired on the Global New Network. Thank you Hrh Ronnie Cruz Bernardo for arranging!" - Buddy Cunanan

Bloggers Ms. Kathy Kenny Ngo of www.lifeiskulayful.com, Mr. Ross del Rosario of www.wazzuppilipinas.com, Ms. Kay Rey of www.babestravelling.com and Mr. Ronnie Bernardo of www.heliconprojects.com ( declined to participate due to cough), talked about blogging in the Philippines.

The three guests were asked various questions all related to blogging, like the perks and privileges of being a blogger, the downsides of dealing with bashers and haters, and at some point their similarities and differences with journalists - seems like a controversial topic.

Below are the videos divided into three parts for viewing. Enjoy!

"Speed September cover girl Maja Salvador dons her Buddy Holly-styled glasses and her quirkiest expression to show you how sexy geeks can be." - Speed Magazine

You gotta love how Maja looks here! She depicts a lady that's so funny, smart and geeky!

There's something so sexy about women wearing glasses. It makes them look so much more interesting. It makes you wonder if they're the brainy type or just have poor vision? But what fascinates me is wondering what they will look like when they take of the glasses.

We know Maja is so damn sexy even without the glasses but why do sexy girls become even more sexy when they don glasses, or when they look somewhere along the lines of nerdy.

Yeah! I have to agree that "geek is the new sexy" since who wouldn't want a sultry beauty that's also brainy?

How will you know if your fruits and vegetables had already reached their peak freshness? How will you know if they are ready for harvesting? The science of freshness is easy to understand. Fruits and veggies thrive because of oxygen, with the root as the main oxygen resource.

In keeping the freshness of the produce, proper harvesting and storing techniques must be employed. Here’s how.

1) Visit your garden regularly

Make it a habit to visit your plants during harvest time especially if you have huge veggie gardens. Be aware of what is happening to your plants as they mature and become ready for picking. Drastic changes are inevitable – a half-ripe tomato today may be rotten tomorrow or the day after that.

Tread carefully while walking the garden or farm aisles. Don’t walk near the root zones. Compressing the roots and soil can make it difficult for the water, nutrients and air to work up their way to the vegetables themselves.

Don’t trample on the vines as well. Stepping onto the sprawling vines limit growth of the budding veggies. The process also limits future growth which, in turn, limits the yield volume.

Tonight, Epson adds to this legacy of innovation with a capital “F” that stands for “Fashion Forward” as heralded by the Epson Fabric printers,” said Epson Philippines Corporation’s President/Country Manager, Toshimitsu Tanaka, who made the bold declaration at the recent launch of the global digital imaging leader’s new fabric printers at the Marco Polo hotel in Ortigas.

Don't you just hate it when you are having a hard time setting up a reservation at any of those prime restaurants in the Metro. A phone call will normally not be convenient since there seems to be no one answering the phone at the other end....and when you do get connected, the reservation often gets lost in the communication due to human errors.

This is probably why most of the manual work these days are being automated by several means, including the development of mobile apps that are accessible via our smartphones. Everything seems to be having a mobile app version to ease the pain of going through the normal transactions.

Relevant to this, a premiere online restaurant reservations or booking service app was launched last August 29, 2014 at Rambla restaurant in Rockwell, Makati. Wazzup Pilipinas was fortunate to be invited to witness the launch of Eat Out Manila, and at the same time get to dine on superb dishes offered at Rambla, a Spanish-Mediterranean restaurant that offers world-class cuisines. Rambla has been a favorite of mine ever since it opened a few months ago, and I was happy to attend an event at the said venue so I could experience Rambla's food once again..

We shared with you the story of Patrick Gabriel Gonzales, youngest broadcaster of the Philippines, few weeks ago. As a follow-up story, let us share with you one of his amazing talents specifically in voice dubbing. Below is a video where he dubs the voice of Russell from the Disney and Pixar movie "Up."

Up is a 2009 American 3D computer-animated comedy- adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The actor who voices Russell, the chubby kid in the highly anticipated Disney/Pixar movie Up, is an adorable Asian boy named Jordan Nagai. Proud to be Asian after learning about it.

You wouldn't have known it wasn't the original actor who voiced Russell in the video below if we didn't inform you. Patrick is really talented, and surely has potential to become something bigger especially when he gains more skills and knowledge throughout the years....and Yup!...he is also Asian being a fellow Filipino.

With a very talented father, International Youth Ambassador for Peace awardee and Voicemaster Pocholo Gonzales, at his side that has access to many possible opportunities for his kid, Patrick is bound to become more famous than his father soon. I am pretty sure that his mother is equally talented since it takes two to bring out a real smart and brainy kid into this world.
