Wazzup Pilipinas!

The UPLB Com Arts Society’s PreWreck: Retake the Mental Breakdown is all set to bring back the crash course benefit party to the Los Baños scene on September 18, 2014, 9PM at Java Avenue, Los Baños.

This year, proceeds of PreWreck: Retake the Mental Breakdown will be funding the scholarship of a BA Communication Arts freshman student and will also be donated to the treatment of Rav De Castro, a UPLB Com Arts Society alumnus, who is the only documented case of Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in the Philippines.

Following the success of PreWreck: Drop Beats, Not Subjects in 2013 with over 600 in attendance, this year’s party returns with signature fun games and free-flowing drinks. The venue is divided into different drinking game stations with various challenges and witty prizes.

Last year’s chosen beneficiary was Limao Elementary School in Biñan, Laguna, where The UPLB Com Arts Society held a storytelling session and learning activities for the school’s Grade 1 and 2 pupils. Proceeds of PreWreck were also donated in the form of books and toys for the children.

Serving Nutritious Meals with Safe Tableware

Wazzup Pilipinas!

When it comes to serving healthy meals for your family, using safe and quality tableware is almost as important as the quality of food you put in it. It would be futile to spend time, effort, and money in cooking a nutritious feast if the plates and bowls you serve it with contain dangerous chemicals that can seep into the food, harming your family's health.

The importance of serving a completely safe and nourishing meal for the family is highlighted more than ever. CDC Manufacturing, the makers of Melawares, Perfect Dining, and Urban Kitchen, is at the forefront of educating mothers on the role of safe tableware in ensuring complete nutrition.

"When it comes to making healthy food choices for the family, investing in safe tableware is equally important. Because mothers are commonly the most involved in the process of preparing and serving every meal that goes on the table, we hope to arm them with this knowledge," CDC Manufacturing Marketing Manager Chriselda Chua said.

In making sure that its melamine tableware is made of premium quality and safe for the family, Melawares only uses imported and 100 percent melamine in each of its products. Other plastic tableware, on the other hand, may use urea -- a material of substandard quality. "Why is melamine considered safer than urea? When melamine sets, it does not migrate to or contaminate the food that we eat, while urea mixes with the food and may cause health hazards particularly in the digestive and respiratory systems," Chua explained.

e-Blog Mo Na Yan! Radio Show with Fashion Blogger Charlene Ajose

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last Saturday, August 23, 2014, we had fashion blogger Charlene Ajose during the episode of e-Blog Mo Na Yan! radio show in partnership with Vigattin radio and Wazzup Pilipinas.
We met Charlene at a restaurant review of Chef Laudico Guevarra's located in San Juan where we all enjoyed the company of chef Jacqui Laudico who showed us around her majestic buffet restaurant. Apparently, Charlene also loves to experience dining adventures too and not just about fashion.

She shared with us her partnerships with both local and international brands, and her other point of views in the field of blogging. We can feel how creative she probably is in her fashion blogging and since we saw her outdo us in the plate memorabilia design at Chef Laudico Guevarra's, we know she is a natural artist. She was so good in making her message look more appealing by adding decorative scribbles or doodles....and I thought I was the more imaginative when I was doing mine, but when I saw her work...Wow!

For Charlene, the radio guesting was another first, and we were glad we gave her something worthwhile to remember. She posted the photo below on her social media account and it shows how delighted she was of the experience. We hope she will return to guest on our show soon.
