UPJMA's West Palm Pool Party Post-Event Write-Up

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It’s that time of the year again; it’s the peak of summer, and everyone’s out and about… or at the very least, wants to be. Usually what comes to mind around this time are scorching hot sunrays, white sand, blue bikinis, and red convertibles getting set up for spontaneous roadtrips, just like the commercials. Pastels aren’t the usual summer motif but they seemed to work for West Palm, UP JMA’s publicity event for this semester.

West Palm took place in New World Hotel by Manila Bay last May 9. The event gave guests an afternoon to sit back, relax and be pampered by the JMA event planners. At around 1:00pm, guests started trickling in in sandals, colorful outfits and floppy hats and/or shades. Upon entry, one would be met with a wooden photo wall where guests could have their photo taken either by a photographer, with their own phone, or by the JMAer that was going around taking Instaxes. After having their photo taken, the guests could enter the rooftop poolside proper.

The venue was quaintly decorated. The poolside was filled with baby pink hot air balloons hanging on tables, along with DIY centerpieces decorated with photos from past JMA events – a bit of a getting-to-know-you display for the organization, if you will. A small stage was set up for the musical performance that kickstarted the event.

Two Internationally Recognized LGBTI, HIV, and AIDS Advocacy Events on May 17

Wazzup Pilipinas!

This is a shout out to all LGBTI, HIV and AIDS Advocates, Supporters and Friends.

The Project Red Ribbon Care Management Foundation, Inc. (TRR) will be holding two international events on May 17, 2015 at the Liwasang Aurora, Quezon Memorial Circle from 2pm to 9pm.

The two events are the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) and the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial (IACM) both internationally recognized events which will fall on May 17.

Highlights of the event include a Solidarity March, Solidarity Concert, Ecumenical Service and performances from various groups and artists. Celebrities who have confirmed their participation include Ms Rachel Alejandro, KZ Tandingan, Jonalyn Viray, John Lapuz, Marissa Sanchez, Sandino Martin, Rica Paras. Mayor Herbert Bautista will lead the candle lighting ceremony. There will be other surprise guests.

The IDAHOT represents an annual landmark to draw the attention of decision makers, the media, the public, opinion leaders and local authorities to the alarming situation faced by lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people and all those who do not conform to majority sexual and gender forms.

The IACM serves as a community mobilization campaign to raise social consciousness about HIV and AIDS. With 33 million people living with HIV today, the IACM serves as an important intervention for global solidarity, breaking down barriers of stigma and discrimination, and giving hope to new generations.

I'm a frustrated artists. I almost enrolled in Fine Arts in college but my mother wanted me to take an Engineering course because she believed the latter course is more rewarding. You rarely see an artist's work shine as bright, popular and profitable only after his or her death. I was not in a position to disobey her so I followed her wish.

This is why I appreciate every opportunity to use my creativity in the arts and crafts. I never really got to pursue it since life becomes overwhelming once you start working on your chosen career. But the arts has an uncanny way of finding its way towards me since I'm often being requested to prepare Powerpoint slides and presentations which often requires creativity.

JNBM Paperclay proudly presents a national Paperclay Art Competition as part of the JNBM 10th anniversary celebration.

A press conference was held at the Lakambini function hall at Villamor Airbase in Pasay City last May 15, 2015 where the JNBM Paperclay founder and CEO, Sue Morales, explained everything about the art competition as well as some background of the company.

How to Keep Your Beach-Worthy Body Fit and Fab

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As you exit the gym with your six-pack abs, muscleman limbs, and a Superman chest, or while you prepare to run at the park with your just perfected waistline, slender Barbie hips, and flat tummy, it’s nice to think about how you got this far.

Remember the discipline you needed just to go to the gym or jog at the park day-in and day-out? You recall missing those midnight snacks, forgoing dates, and turning down party invites just to ensure your routine is not ruined. With a bittersweet smile (and perhaps a teardrop running down from your eye), you reassure yourself that it’s all worth it. Finally, you are ready for some smoking hot beach action!
Looking good or having the right figure should not be your only concern, especially if you’ll often be under the scorching heat of the sun this summer. Think healthy living. To effectively maintain that figure for a longer time (if not a lifetime) and to feel good from the inside as well, consider how you keep yourself hydrated.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve been told to drink at least eight (8) glasses of water a day. As our bodies cope with different activities that have different levels of intensity, the need to keep hydrated is not simply satisfied by eight glasses. Most of the time, we need more, especially during summer when we sweat more often than usual.

Techbox Philippines is moving!

Merely two years after its establishment, Techbox Philippines has tallied impressive wins -- the launch of 32 branches nationwide, six overwhelmingly-successful warehouse sales, and the creation of its own online retail store. Now, Techbox Philippines is about to ‘move’ to something bigger – a new head office in Pasig City!

“The growth of Techbox surpassed our wildest expectations. We’re blessed beyond belief by a great set of customers,” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines. “That is why we want to show our appreciation of their loyalty and support by holding a marvelous moving-out sale. Our customers’ favorite gadgets will be made available at incredibly low prices,” added Gutierrez. The sale will take place on May 15-17, 2015 at Techbox’s old office at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City.

As this is most likely Techbox’s last warehouse sale in its old office, the company promises that they’re going all-out. “Aside from our regular customers, we expect that those whom we failed to serve in our past warehouse sales will get their chance this time,” said Angela. “This will be an unforgettable send-off,” added Angela. The sale will feature products from Lenovo, Nokia, LG, Nikon, Sony, Belkin, and Philips.

Techbox Philippines is the fastest growing gadget retail chain in the country. They offer trusted handset brands and cellphone accessories at affordable prices.
