When TV Stars Become Superheroes in Real Life

The attack of Typhoon Ondoy in the country especially in Metro Manila taught a lot of Manilenyos an important lesson in terms of choosing the location of our investments, stocking some food for emergency, staying at home to look after your properties and your family’s safety and much more.

Ipanema’s Walk a Green Mile and Uno Magazine Revamped

I was invited last February for the launch of the Ipanema echo-chic Gisele Bündchen Seeds Collection. I remember watching the Philippine Ballet Theater members perform a very colorful presentation wearing the newest Ipanema flipflops. In the said event, the organizers announced that they have a joint project with Haribon Foundation called ‘Walk a Green Mile”.

I was there as early as 3:00 (though I thought I was late ). I saw a lot of volunteers and kids who are willing to walk  and contribute something for the Haribon Foundation.

“I went to Ipanema last February 19”.

Nah, I’m not talking about the beautiful place in Brazil. I’m talking about the launch of Ipanema echo-chic Gisele Bündchen Seeds Collection at Le Souffle, The Fort. Several bloggers were invited in the elegant event.
