We’ve witnessed Panya, Hippy, Pilyo, Waifu and the rest of the Oishi Friends in their slightly dark but humorous mishap adventures in Oishi’s famous webcomic strip series. With the friends’ varying appearances and personalities inspired by Oishi snacks, who can resist these adorable characters?

And now, see them come to life in this year's Oishi Snacktacular 2017 at Festival Mall, Alabang this coming July 28-30. 

Meet and eat the yummiest gang as Oishi’s innovative and interactive booths make their comeback with a twist!

Make Your Own Snack allows us to be inventive by choosing and mixing your chips and flavors of choice. This year, you choose a dip (or two) that you want to try with your favorite Oishi snack! Ridges dipped in chocolate? Why not! How about your favorite Fishda dipped in cheese and honey mustard? I can't wait to try it! I heard that it's oishi. 
O-Twirl is also offering something new to Oishi’s soft served ice cream with another flavor for you to try! Choose between Oishi Choco Chug and Oishi’s newest tetra drink, Tea Matchi Matcha milk tea! Don’t forget to top it off with 2 Oishi toppings!
This year’s Cuckoo Blaster is double the fun because you get to pair up with your friend (or stranger) in matchy Cuckoo geared suits to catch as many balls you can. The more balls you catch as a team, the more Oishi drinks each player wins. Two Cuckoo Birds are better than one! 
 Crowd favorite Oishi Snack Catcher is back! 
Dive into an enormous pool of Oishi snacks and grab all the treats you can take with your own hands! 
And of course, the Snack Shack booth will be there where you can fill up your 2-foot Giant Pack with your favorite Oishi Snacks in 60 seconds.

Don’t miss your chance to try out all these with your favorite Team O members, Alex Gonzaga, Maine Mendoza, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo!

I've been travelling a lot lately. I'm excited to go to Guam this week for the first time. I went to S&R Aseana-Baclaran this morning to do some grocery shopping before my one-week out of the country trip. 

This July, S&R is showering us with a lot of savings on baby stuff, home things, baked goodies, and a whole lot more. 

Travelling is so much easier when you have the right kind of luggage for the trip. And, of course, quality is key. You definitely don't want your bag falling apart at the airport. 

Check out these luggages from S&R.

Wouldn't it be great if you could photoshop your dark spots in realtime without going through surgery and all that scary stuff? 

Well, salvation has come and its called the Luminisce Angel Whitening Laser Treatment. Just like an angel, it is heaven sent! 
I found out about this treatment from Mommy Lace's Vlog. I was really convinced to try it so I can finally have the freedom to raise my arms and say goodbye to dark underarms. 

My first encounter with Luminisce is when I came for my laser vein removal treatment. Click here to read about my experience.  

I really love that they keep their place beautiful and clean so that customers can have a comfortable treatment. 

After discussing about my underarm and groin area pigmentation issue with Dra. Kaycee Reyes, she explained more about Angel Whitening Laser Treatment. 

Luminisce Angel Whitening Laser is the fastest way to achieve lighter underarms and improve the underarm skin texture as well. The treatment utilizes laser light as it penetrates a specific area and targets the pigmented skin directly, resulting in faster cell renewal. 

With this, I won't have to worry about dark underarms and groins anymore. I've tried a lot of whitening products and although some of them are effective, they require a decent amount of time to set. 

But with Luminisce Angel Whitening Laser Treatment, just one session and I already noticed the difference.

The treatment did not include harsh skin bleaching and uncomfortable chemical peels. Laser technology is actually simple, fast, effective, and safe tool for removing a wide variety of pigmented lesions like freckles, age spots, birthmarks, moles, certain vascular lesions, and melasma. 


Luminisce Skin Clinic uses the latest laser technology in skin whitening, the Fotona SkyWalker Laser machine. The machine features the patented Optoflex optical vacuum cell technology. It is the newest laser technology acquired by Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations that is extremely powerful and effective for patients' concerns related to discoloration and skin pigmentation.

The treatment required no anesthesia intake and is non-invasive. I experienced no downtime and went back to my normal daily routine after treatment. I didn't have to miss out on my media events and bonding time with my kids. 👍🏻

In addition to that, the Angel Whitening Treatment of Luminisce does not cause redness, inflammation, or itchy skin peeling. There were no side effects and I stepped out of the clinic with instantly whiter skin. I didn't even have the need to apply post-treatment medications or cream. 

It is recommended to undergo 4-6 sessions for best results but one session can be enough depending on your case. 

It can whiten and brightens any part of the body, including the face, knees, underarms, and elbows! 


Experience the Whitening Power of Light yourself and book your appointment with Luminisce. It is Manila’s emerging boutique-style skin & laser clinic. Behind the growing clientele is London trained Dra. Kaycee Reyes who pursued a diploma in dermatology, obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Dermatology at King’s College and the St. John’s Institute of Dermatology at Guy’s & St. Thomas Hospital.

Luminisce Skin Clinic offers the latest and finest technology in anti-aging treatments which are designed to give patients a luxurious experience that allow clients to walk out of the clinic looking younger and brighter, ready to rock the world. 


Luminisce Skin Clinic is located at the 2nd Flr. Mercury Drug Bldg. 32nd St. 4th Ave. Fort Bonifacio Global City. 

For consultation by appointment, call +632 511 8500 or visit www.luminisce.com.

Mossimo launches capsule collection in line with FOX International’s third installment 
in the Planet of the Apes movie franchise

The war of man versus ape continues to rage on as Mossimo, one of the country’s favorite casual wear brands, kicks off the Fall 2017 season with a capsule collection featuring its first collaboration with FOX International through Mossimo X War for the Planet of the Apes.

“Mossimo X War for the Planet of the Apes is a celebration of our partnership with FOX International and the first of many in our planned series of collaborations with popular stylists and big name brands,” shares Alex Bautista, Mossimo’s VP for Product. “With the Planet of the Apes franchise having created a cult following and being a box office success not only in Hollywood but around the world, we felt like the look and feel of the movie would greatly complement our upcoming Fall 2017 collection.”

The capsule collection features a line of comfy tees and pullovers, 100% cotton unisex tops, with eight graphic designs that continue to tell the tale of the ongoing battle between the humans and their primate counterparts. Poignant scenes and iconic, artful slogans from the movie are the highlights and will definitely catch the eyes of faithful Planet of the Apes fans and Mossimo aficionados alike.

Mossimo X War for the Planet of the Apes is also a perfect match to the brand’s Fall 2017 collections, aptly named “Jungle Book” and “Re-volution.”  A fun update to safari-inspired clothing, the collections play around with earthy tones, black camou, and fatigue prints that are not only up to trend but also extremely comfortable and wearable. Pieces are still reminiscent of streetwear but offer that high street look and feel that avid Mossimo fans know and love.

“Our Fall 2017 collections, “Jungle Book” and “Re-volution” focus on items that are not traditional Mossimo apparel that have been offered before,” continues Bautista. “This is another experimental move that we feel will not only benefit the brand, but will further establish Mossimo as a flexible and relevant addition to your lifestyle.”


The new Mossimo X War for the Planet of the Apes collection will be available in select Mossimo stores.

As a mom, I always make sure that my family eats fresh and nutritious food. Although I don’t constantly cook at home, I’m very hands-on when it comes to choosing ingredients and other kitchen must-have whenever we go to the market or grocery. I also find ways on how to improve my own cooking skills and learn more about products and techniques that bring out the best in every meal I would prepare. 
Recently, I attended and joined a cook-off session at The Cookery Place in BGC. Chef Miko Aspiras, one of the most talented and awarded chefs here in the country, made us realize and taught us a lot of helpful ideas in the kitchen. I am definitely excited to apply them when I cook at home. I’m pretty sure my boys will like it, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. Let me share my key learnings to you. 

During the 3-hour cooking demo, Chef Miko showed us how to prepare three delicious recipes - Sesame Tuna Aburi Tataki Salad for appetizer, Twice-fried Pork Served with Potatoes, Chorizo and Beans in Sun-dried Tomato Chimi Churi for the main course, and Pili Donuts and Cream for dessert. He's behind Le Petit Soufflé, Scout’s Honor, Freezerburn and Magnum Cafe’s sweet creations, so I made sure to really pay attention and absorb as much information as I could. 

By the end of the cooking class, I was really hungry and ready to eat what we have prepared. It brought us a sense of fulfillment to have produced such mouthwatering and delectable dishes from scratch. According to Chef Miko, that’s the key to achieving the optimum taste and food quality. Before this, I thought that preparing ingredients from scratch was difficult. But I was wrong! It’s very easy and simple, plus I can ensure that the food is nutritious and really tasty. 
The event also happened to be the launch of Grande Rice Bran Oil, the healthy choice when it comes to the oil we use in preparing meals for our family. 
 • Frying can be hale and hearty. My kids love fried chicken and fish. Honestly, I don’t like it because I thought it’s not healthy, and that they should be eating something that’s delicious and nutritious at the same time. Rice Bran Oil (RBO) is the right cooking oil when it comes to frying. Using the finest process, it is produced with best quality. It is extracted from the middle layer of the husk and the grain, which make RBO rich in natural antioxidants such as Vitamin E, phystosterols, and Gamma-oryzanol. RBO is 100% physically refined so no caustics and acids are used, thus retaining all the natural nutrients within the oil. 

 • Just the right amount of fat. Obviously, I am health-conscious but also a food-lover. I’m glad that RBO has balanced fat profile to help me maintain my diet while enjoying what I eat. In fact, it is the closest to World Health Organization's fat intake recommended for adults, and has the most ideal fat composition. I don’t have to worry about cholesterol count because it’s trans fat free and has zero cholesterol, unlike other kinds of oil. Highly recommended for everyday use! 

 • Reusing oil is now an option. We avoid reusing oil at home. Aside from the taste of the food getting compromised, it just doesn’t feel healthy and hygienic to reuse oil, especially when the color has changed. However, I learned that the oil’s smoking point determines whether you’re supposed to reuse it or not. The smoking point is the temperature when the oil begins to burn and its nutritional value reduces. RBO has a high smoking point, so it’s really good for frying. It is more stable and can be reused. Another beneficial characteristic of RBO is its being less viscous compared to other oils, not only making your food less oily but also preserving its natural flavor. 
We used Grande Rice Bran Oil in our three-course meal to make it healthy and delightful. The salad was more than appetizing with mixed greens, red beets, and cherry tomatoes with thin slices of tuna that is lightly seared in Grande Rice Bran Oil, and drizzled with Sesame Mayo. Super enticing! Now, we’re talking. 
Let’s get to the main course. It was the best pork belly roll ever! Roasted for four hours and twice-cooked, it was a heavenly mix of flavors. According to Chef Miko, the secret to roasting with either veggies or meat is to always season with oil, salt and pepper. All set with chorizo and beans in sun-dried tomato chimi churi, it was definitely one for the books! 

To top it all up, we had Pili Donuts and Cream for dessert. 
Donuts were fried in Grande Rice Bran Oil. To make the pili butter glaze, Chef Miko blended the glazed pili nuts, Grande Rice Bran Oil with salt and muscovado sugar until it became smooth, then poured it onto the donuts. He sprinkled the donuts with wild raspberry powder, and finished it up with some flowers and micro greens. It was an unexpected sweet treat! I really loved it. 

I never thought I could use oil from appetizer to dessert. You might think it’s too much, but not when you are using a healthy oil. I’m glad that I have been part of this wonderful and undoubtedly satisfying event! 

Thank you so much The Grande RBO Team and #SparkItPH for inviting me. 

Grande Rice Bran Oil is now available in selected supermarkets and Rustan's Marketplace nationwide at Php185 per 1L bottle or Php365 for 2L.
