Araneta Coliseum houses a lot of world class shows including the spectacular Le Grand Cirque which will be staged on Dec 23 to January 3, 2017.Le Grand Cirque has been dubbed as the new generation Cirque de Soleil and has that Las Vegas style of glamour and excitement . I am a fan of Cirque de Soleil ever since I watched one of their videos on youtube so when I was invited to attend with my niece, I was already brimming with anticipation even before the show starts. So here are some of the highlights of the show from start to finish.
Le Grand cirque was opened by a mime who offered the intermission numbers and the comic relief althrough out the show. He shows up in the most unlikely of places and engage the audience to participate by selecting a random person from the crowd to perform on stage. There was one act of his that got me laughing so hard and it was when he put a giant balloon on top of his head.
The Trapeze artist showed a wonderfully choreographed aerial trick while thrilling the audience with their properly coordinated gymnastic skills.
One of my most favorite performance was the aerialist that was suspended in the air with the aerial cube. The act itself was a kind of art that would have you gripping at the edge of your seat. It was breath taking and mind blowing at the same while the aerialist swing and exchange positions on the aerial cube.
The Dyanamic Divers offered a new definition of jumping on hoops as they increase the level of the rings that they are going to jump into .
The Crazy contortionist had me gawking as she balanced those glasses while bending in the most spectacular way possible.
There was also jugglers, plate spinners and ball throwing ladies who danced and spin while trying to catch their props. The wall walkers did a top notch performance as they bounced up and down the wall with the trampoline. The act does not only end there as the fire breather and flame thrower came out, I literally felt the heat of their performance. Stunning hand coordination as they spin and move with the fire like it was part of their body. There was a lot of balancing acts that garnered scream of excitement from the audience.
The production was on point with the music, lights and also the detailed costumes that was worn by the crew not only it delighted the show goers but also it provided more stunning effect to this awesome show.
If you want to experience a different kind of way to spend the Holiday season, I highly suggest watching Le Grand Cirque as the shows offers more thrilling excitement not only for the kids but for all ages as well.

Being a fan and literally growing up with the books and the film adaptation I had already anticipated the movie from the release of its trailer. The screening of Fantastic Beast and Where to find them last Saturday at Resorts world Manila was brought to you by Light Network channel 33 as an official media partner.
Harry Potter is a world-wide phenomenon that can relate to any generation as J.K Rowling did not only introduce us to the wizarding world but also show us the meaning of friendship, love, family, adventure, acceptance of death, bravery, facing your own bullies and teen angst.
So when the Fantastic beasts book came out it already provided a little introduction on the main protagonist Newt Scamander and more information about the beasts plus Ron, hermione and Harry potter’s funny scribbles and comments.
The film started with the signature hedwig’s theme which made me feel a little nostalgic and some clippings from the daily prophet which was news about Gellert Grindelwald a powerful and dark wizard who was feared by many just like Voldemort.
Fantastic beasts and where to find them has been set to the early 20’s with Newt Scamander played by Eddie Redmayne an expelled Hufflepuff who was now an eccentric, awkward and shy Mazooligist had arrived in New York on December 1926 with his suitcase that houses a menagerie of whimsical beasts.
Although he has this aloof personality he has a strong passion about preserving and observing many magical creatures. He already traveled five continents just so he can research and make a book so that the wizarding world can also share his cause about these beasts.
This film stands on its own unique charm as along the journey to New York and due to the troublesome, adorable and shiny object hoarder Niffler a creature that is a combined platypus, mole plus a duck who likes to collect things on his pouch. Newt accidentally bumped into Jacob Kowalski a No-maj this is equivalent to a Muggle who aspires to own a bakery but gets rejected by the bank.
Newt had no choice but to perform magic in front of Jacob as his current situation of capturing the Niffler and getting the magical egg that was in Jacob’s hand got way out of control. He was supposed to cast a memory charm but failed to do so and his suitcase got switched in the process.
Newt was then arrested Porpentina Goldstein an ex- auror who was dismissed due to revealing magic in front of Marilou Bariborne a No-maj after she beat up her son. Porpertina brought Newt to (MACUSA)Magical Congress of the United States of America but her claims have been dismissed by Percival Graves played by Collin Farrell when they saw that Newt’s suitcase content was full of bread.
In hopes that she would redeem herself, she helped out Newt find Jacob which was already too late since the latter already unleashed almost all of his beasts. Porpentina offered both the guys a place to stay and introduced them to Queenie her telepathic yet alluring sister who Jacob adores.
As the story progress we also have seen Newt’s personality develop from the guy who can’t look at anyone’s eyes to building friendship with Jacob. Jacob on the other hand proves to be his own character as he provides comedic relief and astounding facial expressions especially when he was inside the menagerie.
The presence and the capture of some of the beast are truly epic as it brings out Newt Scamander’s dance skills when capturing an erumpent a crossbreed of a rhinoceros and an elephant with a horn that glows.
After that Porpentina captured Newt in a suitcase and was bought back to the MACUSA. Newt was interrogated as there was a recent killing of an unknown beast who vanishes after attacking the running state senator. Graves became interested in Newt after he defended his suitcase full of beasts that they won’t pose any harm.
He also suggested that a rare beast may have cause the killings. In which Graves and the council reputed that it was already centuries since the presence of such. Both Newt and Porpentina was sentenced to death by the MACUSA bringing them to a room with a large pensive that can devour them.
Luckily Newt was quick on his feet and brought out the creatures that are worth to be mesmerized about like the clingy bowtruckle tiny green twig like creature who specializes in removing locks. Sensing her sister is in danger queenie with the help of Jacob rescue both Newt and Porpentina.
This is how those 4 embark on the journey to capture the remaining magical creatures.Even the Thunderbird which Newt was trying to bring to the wild of Arizona holds a spectacular performance. There was also a serpent like creature with blue scales that can be stored in a tea pot.
The film also switch to a family of muggles who rallied up against magic and distributes flyers around the city.
Headed by Marilou Bariborne a woman who abhors magic and is strict to her adopted children especially to credence who she beats for almost everything. When the family’s house exploded they seek help regarding the exposure of magic to a running senate candidate who in return throws them out and mocked Credence.
Graves on the other hand is asking help from Credence in his search for the rare beasts. Credence being a boy who was usually abused physically by his mother abides to Graves instructions.
While Credence was investigating he finds a wand on his sister Modesty’s room and yet its discovery was only snap in half by their mother. The rare beasts kills again and drove someone into hiding. Graves on the other hand seeks Credence help to track down the person who was in hiding and in the process crushing Credence’s confidence that he can’t amount to anything as he assumes he was a squib.
Again the sighting of the unleashed rare beast was cornered on a train station only to face Newt and Porpentina who tried to pacify it.
The ending was truly delightful as the real perpetrator was exposed. But there was also a dark side to the film like the destruction of something that was supposed be saved and a goodbye that marks the end of an adventure but opens up a new door for opportunities. I would not go into detail on what happen you just have to find out for yourself.
The antagonist provided the baddie who was full of empty promises, seeks more power that he wanted to control with a mission to expose the wizarding world to the No-maj.
J.K. Rowling’s flow of the story is truly quintessential as it still incorporates the Harry Potter characters and familiar names such as the mention of Albus Dumbledore and the discussion of the friendship between Leta lestrange and Newt Scamander. There was also a mention of comparison between Hogwarts and llvermorny school of witch craft and wizardry. What I love the most about the film is that they don’t hold back on the use of their magic even if it was already exposed to the No-Maj. As for the music they introduce us to the golden era of jazz. David yates the director of this film and the last 4 Harry Potter films brings out a new flare of magic that will cast a spell on the audience hearts.
This film was a gem in a rough as it stands on its own away from the mystical world of the castle life in Hogwarts. Some parts of the movie are scattered clues of the next film as it pulls me in delighting my curiosity with not a single ounce of answer given. It was like figuring out my way without using the Marauders map yet indulging me with knowledge that all these series of events will come together in the next franchise. I love the movie as a whole especially the montage of those fantastic beasts.
Quezon City, Philippines – Nutramedica, Inc. President and CEO Sheila Mae Velilla bagged the Outstanding Achievement in Entrepreneurship – Medium Scale at the recently concluded 37th Agora Awards. Nutramedica is a homegrown 100% wholly-owned Filipino enterprise that manufactures and distributes Novuhair, an acclaimed line of products that addresses hair loss.
Held last October 26 at PICC, CCP Complex, the Agora Awards recognizes individuals and organizations for exceptional marketing skills and strategies. It is touted to be the premier marketing awards body in the country and sets the high standards of excellence in the industry.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO BIG WINNER
Moving in an industry dominated by giant multinational pharmaceutical companies, Nutramedica’s tenacious rise from its humble beginnings as a microenterprise is one for
the books. Thanks largely to its creativity and innovation, it has become a major player with a well-established niche in the industry.
Founded in 2004 by Velilla, Nutramedica develops beauty and healthcare products out of natural and mostly indigenous ingredients. It is one of the pioneers in the commercialization of virgin coconut oil (VCO) and gained wide success with its slogan “healthiest oil on earth,” which led to its acquisition by a big company.
It continued to create more VCO-based skin care products and hit the jackpot with its latest, and now banner, product – Novuhair, nature’s answer to hair loss. This breakthrough solution is made of 19 herbal ingredients and comes in topical scalp lotion, herbal shampoo, and herbal conditioner that effectively battles the effects of hair loss and helps enhance and restore one’s crowning glory.
Launched in 2009, Novuhair enjoys tremendous success until today. It is widely accepted not only here in the Philippines, but also in other countries. It is set to enter the international market, starting with the United States (US), in December of this year. Such bold, yet timely, move of the company to export Novuhair to the US and eventually the Middle East also opens the opportunity for proudly made local products to penetrate the global arena.
Novuhair’s popularity and market leadership may be attributed to the company’s initial market study coupled with the right timing, as well as smart use of resources by coming up with an effective tri-media campaign best described as low-budget yet high-impact marketing.
Leveraging on its organic growth from a microenterprise to medium scale with over 30 employees in a span of 12 years, Nutramedica continues to further develop, market and distribute high-quality goods that could bring honor to the country.
We may not be aware that we are unknowingly putting harmful chemicals on our hair thus resulting to general conditions such as migraine, nausea and skin rashes. The symptoms may be quickly attributed to stress but if you look closer to that hair product you’re using, you’ll be surprise to find the culprit.
Popularity does not equate to safety, some popular brands sold in the market are loaded with mildly toxic chemicals that may be harmful in prolonged use.
Novuhair, Nature’s answer to hair loss, gives you the lowdown on these chemicals to help you with your choices.
Myth: Shampoo must produce lots of lather in order to properly clean your hair.
Truth: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a compound that helps shampoo and other cleaning product in producing foam and bubbles. Though it may effectively remove hair build-up, it can also strip off essential oils that is needed to keep your hair healthy.
Myth: Parabens has an anti-bacterial compound benefits that outweighs the harm.
Truth: Parabens are basically used to prolong the shelf life of hair and cosmetic products mostly for its antibacterial purpose. Symptoms that are related to over exposure to parabens are Atopic Dermatitis and Rosacea. Further studies also show that use of products with parabens accelerate skin damage and aging related to sun exposure.
Myth: My hair smells terrific! I love the perfume scent on my hair product.
Truth: A nice whiff of perfume might not be harmful but the fragrance that is mixed in your hair product might have come from harmful substances from highly toxic ingredients which can lead to Allergic reactions and mood swings. That perfume is better off somewhere else.
Myth: Hair products that promise straightening and smoothening effect use non-toxic Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate as a natural preservative.
Truth: Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate is a substance used in making your hair soft and bouncy, although it is considered natural preservative, also releases formaldehyde which can lead to skin and eye irritations. Prolonged use may also affect your immune system.
Use of some of these chemicals combined may also result to hair loss and other hair problems, thus, it is important to be an informed consumer. A lot of new products have saturated the market hence, read the labels for fine prints before buying.
Novuhair, nature’s answer to hair loss is made of 19 Natural ingredients which includes herbal components such as moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, virgin coconut oil and the natural essences of rosemary and peppermint. Novuhair nourishes the scalp and hair by increasing the flow of nutrients and improving blood circulation to the scalp. Novuhair also helps hydrate the scalp, maintain the hair’s natural luster and prevent early hair graying, hair dryness and itching.

When your name gets picked you do the task that you wrote down for the other person. We were also oriented about the legend villas services, the room tour and we were also introduced to their sister companies such as the kabayan hotel which is near where I live.

Lola Maria
I can’t stop raving about this restaurant ever since I tasted their scrumptious dishes.There was a lot of great dishes prepared for us during lunch time but sadly since I am allergic to bagoong I have not dared touch the Kare-Kare and ensaladang manga with bagoong. My personal favorite was the lumpiang ubod , pininyahang manok plus the baked fish aioli.
I was craving for lumpiang ubod since last week. When I saw it on the menu I was thrilled and it did not disappoint me.The vegetables that was used was crunchy and the sauce was tasty. The baked fish aioli was tender and melted in my mouth. I actually thought it was baked macaroni at first.The chicken of the pininyahang manok was tender and the pineapple does not overpower the taste. I can truly say that they know their Filipino dishes well. The desert was awesome as it balance out the different taste of the dishes.
Lola Maria offers an all-day dining with Filipino Cuisine and selected international dishes.
