TakBohol: Boholanos run to build a school

Last 2012, I went to Bohol to see the sights, Chocolate Hills, the Panglao Beach and the tarsiers. And during my three day stay, I was in love with the place. I couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the province is. Unfortunately, its grandeur was broken when the earthquake struck the place. That's why I am supporting the TakBohol: Run for School this July 27, organized by the Tapo-Tapok Bol-Anon Inc., an organization of Boholanos based in Manila, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Philippines. Join them as they gear up towards the race for a brighter future of the youth of Bohol. The fundraising marathon is expected to be one of the biggest gatherings of the Boholano community in Manila this year.

It was pink, has so many pockets, and I really organized my stuff well. So are you ready to see what's inside? Read on to find out.

Lately, I have been obsessed with nail art. My free times are spent watching Youtube how-to-DIY designs. One of my favorite video bloggers is Sara because aside from doing easy nail art designs, she makes her videos fun to watch.

I was even happier when they emailed me, inviting me to the event. I felt special, as if I had two invites :)

Acupuncture Is Not Just Sticking Needles In

Acupuncture has long been associated with pins and needles which is why a lot of people balk at the thought of trying it. Many Filipinos are scared of the needle and having a few being poked at you to treat a sickness is not their idea of fun. Truth be told, most would choose to suffer through their illness than have some needles be stuck on them. Thankfully, Doc Philip Nino Tan-Gatue, an acupuncturist, is more than willing to shed light as to why Acupuncture is nothing to be afraid of.
