On Top of the World

Pasta has played a major role in Filipinos’ lives, from being part of our daily meals to a popular choice for various events and gatherings. October marks a special month for Filipino Pasta lovers as we join the world in celebrating the World Pasta Month worldwide. Doña Elena Al Dente Pasta, the only Artisan Quality Italian Pasta brand in the country, has been pioneering this gastronomic celebration for three years now. This year, the National Pasta Month celebration highlights an exciting challenge among Mercato Centrale food vendors as they participate in the Doña Elena Al Dente Ultimate Pasta Challenge where they featured their originally crafted meal combinations of their specialty dishes and Doña Elena Al Dente Pasta. All food enthusiasts were able to witness an epic and pasta-licious culinary cook-off last  October 14, at the Mercato Centrale, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Pasta connoisseurs were invited to purchase a Pasta Passport for a minimal purchase of Php100.

As a mom, I always check what my kids eat and make sure that it is nutritious. We can't stop our kids from eating sweets and what we can do as a parent is to see what's in it. Anyway, my six year old Nathan is also picky when it comes to  food. He's also picky with candies and chocolates. It is really a surprise when I saw him interested in trying the Vita Cubes jelly candies -- cube-shaped jellies with five different fruit flavors, strawberry, apple, grape, orange, and mango. Of course I wouldn't let the day end without me trying all the flavors and I like it! You know, I am also a meticulous mom. So, aside from the good taste I also checked what benefit my kids would get from these jellies. Now I see that Vita Cubes is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals which is really important as our kids grow. My Nathan's like Vita Cubes so much! This cake he's eating is topped with Vita Cubes that he decorated himself.  LYSINE Contain

I had so many therapy sessions and took different advises and exercises from my doctors since i gave birth to my second child 17 years ago. It's sad to say that I can still feel pains from my neck down to my feet. I stopped a year ago because I feel a little development since then. I just got tired of going back to my therapy sessions and the pain just keeps coming back.The upper and lower back, carpals, knee joints are the most painful parts of my body that has been affecting my work performance. There's a time that the pain would lessen but not totally healed. I was even advised that if my knees wouldn't get better, there is another option and that's through injection to help bring back the normal function of my knees and last option is an operation. Honestly, I am loosing hope. I don't want an operation and I don't like the feeling of uncertainty. You can't blame me, it's been years and the pain is still there. Last week we were introduced to

Makati City, Philippines - This is the first time that I have attended a grand awarding event by the country's leading fast-food brand, Jollibee which was recently held at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel. The 6th Jollibee Family Values Awards welcomed the new batch of outstanding Filipino families that inspired me with their admirable advocacies. I admire them, who made it through the years with their solid foundation as a family. I remember few years ago planning to start my own advocacy, to build my own small library in our place and ask friends to donate books and coloring materials for kids, and it hasn't started until now. So, I know the feeling of how hard it is to begin. It is such a great joy seeing these families' succeed with their endeavors. Now, I am more inspired and understand that it doesn't have to start big to institute your goal to help. I am also happy that I brought my 11 year daughter, Rain. It is a great motivation for the both us.  Mr
