How does Marian Rivera make Garantisadong Ginisarap dishes?

Marian Rivera-Dantes is used to playing different characters: Primetime Queen, recording artist, brand ambassador, style icon, and philanthropist. But her favorite roles by far have been those behind the camera: as wife tDingdong and mom to Baby Zia.

As a modern homemaker, who manages her time between work and family, Marian has found comfort in cooking as one of the best ways to make her family feel loved and to improve her culinary skills. On her social media pages, the Kapuso actress has posted some of her own culinary creations that range from baby food for little Zia, stews, soups, and veggies. And on days when Marian is short on time, stir-fry dishes have become her go-to choices for easy, yummy meals.

Topping her stir-fry list are Chopsuey and Fried Rice made with AJI-GINISA® Flavor Seasoning Mix, as seen in the seasoning’s two new TVCs which began airing last June 4, 2017. In both versions, Marian dances and sings to the tune of her hit song, “Sabay-sabay Tayo,’ while she adds AJI-GINISA® to each dish to make them more delicious and “Garantisadong Ginisarap.”

Like Marian, you can also whip up “Garantisadong Ginisarap” dishes – even non-vegetable ones – by adding a touch of AJI-GINISA® to your favorite stir-fry recipes.

Get updated facebook.com/AjiGinisaPH and facebook.com/CookmunitybyAjinomotoPH for more dishes to try.

Long Weekend Ideas for Staying at Home

June 26 is Eid’l Fitr, which means another long weekend is coming up. Everyone’s now scrambling to book cheap flights or bus tickets to take advantage of this free Monday. If you’re not one of the lucky few who managed to whip up a quick vacation, here are a few things that will keep you entertained without leaving the city. Some of them are even free!

Be productive

Let’s face it – not everyone is at peace with sitting around the whole day doing nothing. For those who always need to be busy, this is your chance to learn something outside of work. The hottest skill right now is anything digital, and you can get free (or cheap) courses online to get a head start. Learn the basics of Adobe Photoshop, find out how to make a powerful blog with WordPress, finally figure out how to market on Facebook and Twitter, or start building a digital platform with HTML or CSS. If it’s too nerdy for your liking, get crafty with the many workshops available at CraftMNL, Ink Scribbler, or Memory Crafters.

Jumpstart a healthy lifestyle

If you’ve been trying to live a healthier lifestyle, perhaps a visit to BPI-Philam’s Win the Moment Wellness Festival will help you jumpstart this change. Head to Trinoma Activity Center on June 24 and participate in interactive booths that let you experience total wellness – not just physical but also social, emotional, mental and financial. From dance classes by G-Force, life-sized board games, and inspirational talks that help you pursue passion without losing all your live savings, the Win the Moment Wellness Festival brings a unique experience to all Filipinos. Top it off with a mini concert by KZ Tandingan and Quest, and you’ve crossed out one full day! Just download the Philam Vitality Active App from the Apple Store or Google Play and use the promocode bplacwtm to gain free entrance. You can register here.

Bring in the kids

Looking for someone who knows how to have fun? Turn to the little ones, whether you have your own kids, your young relatives, or your mommy-friend’s tots. There are so many things to do around Manila during the long weekend, but bringing the kids along will give it that extra energy and humor. Take a kalesa tour around the beautiful Intramuros, visit the many museums around the city and the newly-opened Planetarium in Manila, or let their (and your) energy loose at the many activities at SM by the Bay,Kidzania, or Dreamplay.

The best thing about a long weekend in the city is there are way less people crowding the streets and restaurants. Here’s your chance to head to some of those sought-after restaurants you can’t seem to get a free table in. Grab a seat at the 20-seater Mendokoro Ramenba at Salcedo Village in Makati, the tiny but super popular La Chinesca at BF Homes in Paranaque, or the full-to-the-brim Locavore in BGC or Kapitolyo. Looking for something new? Get your Filipino fix at the Poblacion Dining Room or a taste of Korea at Kko Kko in Makati without having to fight over parking as much as usual. You can also just head to Quezon City and sample everything at the newly-openedKontorini Food Park.

A Piso for Brazo de Kalabasa shall also be enjoyed by the first 100 guests for every purchase of Php500.00 on June 11, 2017. Both of these promos were made to give thanks to all Ka-Salu/s who have dined and craved for the best of Salu plates this past year. “Masarap at nakakataba ng puso ang aming unang taon. So we thought, why not give thanks and extend to our customers those blessings that we earned because of their trust through these simple promos. These two dishes, BLK and Brazo De Kalabasa, are our top moving dish and desert on our first year. So its fitting to grant a ‘one’ of a kind treat with buy ‘one’ take ‘one’ and a ‘one’ peso dessert, as we turn ‘one”, shared by Mr. Sarmenta.

Sun Life #Sunshorts:Inspirational stories of Financial Freedom

Life brings unexpected circumstances, it might happen to you or to your loved ones . But that is what makes life worth living to prepare for the uncertainty of the future. In celebration of their 4th Financial Independence this June, they have released digital short films that will make us dream, believe and strengthen our bonds with our loved ones. Sun life’s goal is to inspire Filipinos to be financially independent. Through these short films we are able to see the value of securing our loved one’s future.

Waves by Zig Maragsigan tackles what goes on the mind of the millennials; YOLO, or You ony live once, as they say. This generation has often been tagged as living by the moment and not having a clear path towards securing a future. The beginning of the film made me smile as there were “kilig” moments and it also has a bitter sweet ending. We often are not prepared for accidents so if you have a significant other, Sun Life allows them to be your beneficiary, all you need to provide is a proof of CENOMAR or Certificate of no marriage

“She said, She said” is something most people can relate to. In a modern society like ours and with the current economic situation, everybody can relate to the hardships a single mom endures. I held back my tears as I watch it. It pertains to the point of view not only by the mother but also of the daughter.

The other short film featured is Sayaw. Time is the truest test of love as this flick has showed. In a relationship, there are ups and downs. You will fall in love and might fall out of love as well. It pays to be ready for the rainy days.

It was quite a special day as four of the biggest names in showbiz represents Sun Life as ambassadors. Each one rooted for their personal choice among the Sun shorts. Piolo Pascual preferred Sayaw, Judy Ann Santos thought She Said, She said as the best, while Matteo Guidicelli selected Waves. It wouldn’t be complete without Ms. Charo Santos-Concio’s inspirational message. Just like her role in her television program, she was inspirational. According to her, life is beautiful. It is a journey that we spend along with our love ones and as much as we want to, we can never be sure of what the future brings but we can prepare for it.

Aside from the digital short films, Filipinos are in for a treat as Sun life holds a series of activities for the Millenials, moms and dads, and shoppers. Mutual funds and insurance literacy are to be provided.

This June, Sun Life has thought of helping the Millenials fulfill their need to accomplish their wandering goals. Moms and Dads are not left behind, they will get their deserved relaxation which will help clear their minds and eventually get them at their peak so they can think of their goals. Meanwhile, if you have no time for school, Sun Life courses are up for grabs at www.brighterlife.com.ph. Finally, members of Takatack.com can benefit from the partnership of Sun Life and Voyager innovations.

Waves is now available for viewing at http://brighterlife.com.ph/sunshorts/

Updates for the the next videos are available on a scheduled release date.

Fade Scars with Clearascar

Its officially summer in the Philippines and its the time of the year when we often go to the beach or wear more comfortable clothes. We want to flaunt our beach bodies or shoot ootd’s but a scar can make a difference in one’s confidence. There are so many solutions already out in the market to help you fade that scar faster. Getting a scar is inevitable if you are an active Filipina or just gave birth through cesarean section. Also children are prone to get a scar due to playing. Good thing clearascar is safe to be used for pregnant, breastfeeding and children. I have a very sensitive skin that is prone to breakout and I often do a patch test before using any product. Clearascar is the only thing I used in my face and sensitive area of my body that did not gave me any adverse reaction as this is non-comedogenic.

I recently acquired a scar on my right arm due to an accident at work and I often hide it by wearing long sleeves or a jacket. It is fading slowly as clearascar is made of 100% silicone and clinically proven to improve the appearance by lightening, flattening and softening scars. It is also affordable at the price of P418.75 for 6g that last for 60 days for a 1-2 inch scar and P761.20 for 15g for 60 days for a 3-5 inch scar. I usually test a product a miminum of 3 months amaximum of 8 months. I started using this 72 hours after my wound healed and I apply it 2 times a day.

The application of clearascar is very easy you just need to make sure that you clean the healed wound properly. After that apply a thin layer on the scar twice a day. Be careful not to massage the gel on the scar. Let the gel dry for about 2-3 minutes and you have a choice to cover the area with sunblock or concealer. This is not just for new scar it can be used for old one’s too.

Clearascar is the best choice for me as for one it is affordable and accessible as it is available on all leading drugstore.
