Elica : First line of Defense for Eczema

We mothers are the most affected when our children are suffering and we can’t do anything about it.

We do everything in our power to protect them, and yet there are thing that we can’t control.  Just like my daughter’s case; she is suffering from skin attack whenever the heat strikes or if there’s something that her skin is allergic of; like rushes and inflammation or other skin attacks

One of the samples of skin attack is eczema. Eczema is characterized by red, dry, itchy rashes on the skin. It is more common in children than in adults (. Yes, adult also suffers from these itches but if we can tolerate it; it’s not the same case when it comes to our children). It can also have a huge negative impact on a kid’s life, like sleep deprivation.

How to Protect your Children's Health ?

The health of my children is one of the most important things in my life.  With the weather that keeps changing in a snap and the  pollution situation, together with viruses and diseases that seem to be getting stronger and more aggressive, it’s important that my children have a strong immune system. As they say “ ang mga sakit, madaling makahawa, mabilis lumala, mas nagtatagal”, that is why I’m doing everything in my power to protect them.

Reviving the Taka: Tesoros showcases Pinoy papier-mâché art

Remember those colorful papier-mâché pieces of horses, angels, and dolls that we would see during town fiestas and local celebrations?

These fanciful figures originated in Paete, Laguna and are called Taka – a Filipino art form that makes papier-mâché figures forms using hand-carved wooden molds.

During the 1970s and 1980s Taka entered the international market. There was a demand in Europe and North America for such angels and cherubs and even newer images of pop culture icons and even politicians.

 Since that time, with changes in trends and designs, this once popular local decoration has fallen into disuse, with a once-booming industry reduced to few workshops run by ageing craftsmen.

Enter Mary Velmonte, a rising talent in the Philippine advertising industry with a great passion for locally grown creations. In her own words, “My interest in Taka began with a trip to Paete. It was so sad to see that the art was dying. I felt like I just had to do something to help save the craft.” Together with friends and fellow creatives Missy Galang and Claude Rodrigo Canete, Mary founded Takatak Project, a Manila-based initiative established to breathe new life into the traditional way of making Taka.

Takatak Project’s line-up gives an interesting and modern take on a beloved art form. The group’s horses, owls, giraffe, antlers, bikes, and bird cages are molded and brightly painted with angles and geometric inputs inspired by Filipino indigenous culture. Mary and her team ensure that amazing attention to detail is given to each Taka. “There is a story in every Taka, and we show it through the most creative patterns and designs,” Mary shares.

Velmonte’s Taka pieces will be showcased as part of the TESOROS event series “Disenyo at Talento,” which aims to promote local talents who define Filipino-ness through new and revitalized forms of art. The first artisan featured by TESOROS through “Disenyo at Talento” was another Laguna based creator: corporate publishing executive An Mercado-Alcantara, who has become renowned for her Casa San Pablo Clay Storytellers.

“It is exciting to see so many new ideas in the Philippine craft and art scene,” says TESOROS Group CE, Maria Isabel “Beng” Tesoro. “We at TESOROS are eager to empower local artisans like Mary Velmonte and An Mercado-Alcantara, whose ideas bring fresh interpretations of our Filipino traditional arts, and in doing so provide livelihood to many.”

Mary and An are set to give a talk-around to guests invited from a variety of arts and cultural groups on their inspirations, and ideas, on how to innovate on traditional Filipino iconography. Takatak Project’s stable of Taka animal figures and Casa San Pablo Clay Storytellers will be available at all TESOROS branches starting August 2015.

TESOROS, the provider of quality Philippine cultural treasures and handicrafts, aims to feature more creative talent through the ”Disenyo At Talento” Artisanal Talks. To learn more about and become involved with this initiative, or to gain more information about other inventive handicrafts and artwork specially curated by TESOROS, email info@tesoros.ph or tesoros@tesoros.ph, visit http://tesoros.ph/, or like the official Facebook page of TESOROS: https://www.facebook.com/tesoroshandicrafts?fref=ts.

Just where can you find the happiest place on earth?

For me, it’s when everyone is gathered around a dining table; happily chatting and eating our favorite food

It is when you are eating that sweet memories are once told; rediscover our old soul as they say.

Who would have thought that inside Landmark, you could find the coziest place to have your merienda.

The place was simply , the merienda is simple but the feeling  was not. This Merienda foods are what our taste buds is familiar with and there is no better place to have it but at Café Via Mare.

We Filipinos eat three times a day but there is what we called merienda that we also enjoy during the day. 

Merienda – a meal that is served in between the main meals of the day. Pan de sal is a breakfast staple among Filipinos and Via Mare serves it fresh every day, grilled with sides of corned beef, Vigan longganisa, Laguna cheese, and queso de bola; as well as comfort food like arroz caldo and tokwa’t baboy.

Merienda, or light snacks, are as important as main meals for Filipinos. At Via Mare, diners can choose from well-loved Filipino fare such as puto bumbong, palitaw, and guinataang halo-halo.

Ending scrumptious feasts on a sweet note are iced deserts such as halo-halo and guinomis.

Yellow Cab Antipolo: Now Open to Serve You

What’s your favorite color? Yellow

What’s your favorite pizza? Yellow Cab

And that’s it……………

Jessa celebrated her 18th birthday at the Yellow Cab Pizza located near CCP with her friends and classmates last June (while I had my mother's day celebration at Yellow Cab Megamall branch). They had so much fun eating that it was almost 12 midnight when they decided that they had enough. I was thankful to the staff that they waited for the children to finish the celebration before they clean up and close the store (it was actually past the closing time when we end the party).

I have my own favorite at Yellow Cab; the DD and the Chicken Chan Pasta (to be honest I don’t remember the names but I could describe it well enough that my daughter knows what I would like to have at Yellow Cab)

Yellow Cab recently opens a new branch in Antipolo and I was so excited to be able to visit it together with some friends.
