Yassi Pressman, The New Brand Ambassador of Silka Papaya

Yassi Pressman has been ranked among the country's most sought-after leading ladies of this generation.  In fact, her latest television project lists her as the main characters lady love, a role that propelled the 22-year-old actress into ultimate stardom. However, many people do not realize that Yassi has been in the showbiz industry for more than a decade, and that her path to success hasn't always been a walk through the park.

 

The Filipino-British beauty says, "Marami akong naging pagsubok sa showbiz. Hang beses na din akong hindi natanggap sa mga audition, pero tuloy tang ang laban. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, don't try to rush things that need time to grow. With hard work, dadating ang para sa iyo sa tamang panahon kasi kapag minamadali, nagkakamali."

 

Silka Papaya Soap, the number one beauty soap in the Philippines. Packed with papaya enzymes for exfoliation and Vitamin E for moisturizing, Silka Papaya Soap gives Yassi naturally beautiful skin. The TRUE SECRET to her glow!

 

"Yassi's career demands her to be always at her best and to maintain a healthy, glowing skin. With Silka Papaya Soap, we make sure to take care of Yassi's skin in an everyday basis. There are no instant solutions because beauty is an everyday regimen. This is paralleled with the success story of Yassi and that's what makes her an inspiration to all the women who aspire to be like her," says Jane Co, Silka's Marketing Manager.

 



Beautiful, Smart and Talented

 

As we all can see, Yassi is now at the peak of her acting career, Yassi spends an average of 8 hours in a shoot and sits in the hair and make-up chair for around 3 hours. With barely enough time to sleep and rest, Yassi is able to maintain a healthy, bright and beautiful skin. Only with SILKA!

 

In the age of everything Instant.'' Yassi is truly an example of grace, beauty and diligence. She knows that natural beauty is not rushed and more importantly, success is not something to be achieved overnight. And at the rate Yassi is going, it seems like this go-getter is not stopping anytime soon.

Great Finds : Let's Chow! Rice & Noodle Haus

I usually go to Makati Cinema Square for best finds like, mobile phone casing, gadgets accessories and more. This time, I got a new discovery, Let's Chow! An interesting Asian Fusion restaurant located at the heart of Makati, just right in the front area of Makati Cinema Square facing Chino Roces. 

Let’s Chow serves Chinese, Korean, Japanese and some Thai foods.  To my surprise, the prices are surely wallet friendly.  It’s like a one –stop Asian restaurant under one roof.  The brilliant idea to put my favorite cuisines together is the answer to my unpredictable cravings at times. The best part, it’s nearby our place!

Let me show you around!

Upon entering Let’s Chow, you have to visit first the counter, check the menu and place your order. It's a Pay As You Order style.  After completing your order and your payment, you will be given a circle thingy that vibrates when it’s about for you to pick up your order from the Pick-up Station. 

Here's the Pick up station where you can of course pick up your food. But if you do not feel like taking a walk from your comfortable seat, you may ask the friendly crew to serve the food to your table.

 

 

See the large space of  Let's Chow!  You can bring your big family or bunch of friends and spend some quality bonding time while having meals here. The wide selection from the menu can definitely accommodate anyone's cravings.  Let's admit it! We all have different tastes and preferences.  And going to a restaurant serving different variants of food can help satisfy everyone's choices.

 

I now have my three favorites that I’ll surely come back for.

No. 1

Chicken Feet Dimsum

I’m a number 1 fan of this exotic choice. And I’ve been in the look-out for the best chicken feet in the metro and finally the search is over.  Thanks to Let’s Chow for serving me these beautiful feet that taste so perfect. So tender and flavorful!

 

No. 2

Pad Thai

This one is another winner! The clear noodles cooked with chicken bits, tofu, shrimp, grated peanut, spring onion, beans sprout and sprinkled with seven spices can waken up your sleeping appetite.  Once you tried it, you’ll definitely finish it to your satisfaction.

 

 

No. 3

Fried Chicken

I must agree, this savory chicken is truly the ultimate favorite. I love how the chicken was fried, not oily at all yet still tasty even without the sauce. An order of this goes with fried sweet potato.

Take a look at their choices of Dimsum

 

Other finds in the Menu!

BIBIMBOP
Korean

GYOZA
Japanese

After a sumptuous meal, there's always a room for desserts! Let's Chow offers Bingsu, Korean shaved ice dessert, their version of our Halo-halo. It comes in three variants Mango and Caramel Syrup , Strawberry Sundae, Ube-Macapuno. Lastly, the big servings of Halo halo.

Ditto's Friday Paella Night

Yes! Thank God it’s Friday! Gimmick night, Paella Night for the foodie bloggers of United Bloggers Philippines.  It was a night well-spent with like-minded people.  Those precious moments that I always love to see, the foodie bloggers come together sharing sumptuous meal and catching up with some stories to share.

Despite the heavy traffic on Friday nights, I really appreciated the effort of my fellow bloggers to make it to their commitment with my super short notice invitation. Good thing, Chef Ditto prepared his best two kinds of Paella for our time of feasting.

DITTO'S PAELLA !



PAELLA VALENCIANA

Paella Valenciana is the common Paella that we usually see and order in the restaurants. To me, this is my number one favorite.  Aside from the beautiful and colorful look, the flavored rice topped with fresh prawns, squids, chorizo, green peas and bell pepper makes a perfect combination of an effortless meal. You can have paella as stand-alone meal for a quick party and simple gatherings too. 

PAELLA NEGRA

While the Paella Negra is for more of the adventurous foodies who would not mind having black (squid) ink while eating this one. Though I also love this because there are generous toppings of white tender squids.

Paella is actually one of my favorite Spanish dishes.  It’s my special complete meal on the plate. Why? It has everything I wanted, the flavored sticky rice, squid, prawns, chicken, pork, chorizo, green peas, and many more.    Before we started pigging out with Paella, we got to learn a short story behind Ditto’s Paella Valenciana & Paella Negro.  It’s a family heirloom dish that was passed down to many generations.  With sensitive taste buds and unmet expectations from the wannabe Paella restos, Ditto made a decision and a big step to follow his grandfather’s Paella recipe.  That has soon become a craze after sharing to his friends.  He then opened his kitchen, rather his Paella to the public for special orders.

Ditto also shared how he made his Paella different from the others.  He personally goes out early in the morning to the market to get his fresh ingredients, especially the meat and the sea foods. That is why he only accepts at least a day notice prior to delivery date.  He sees to it that he serves the best Paella in town.

The Paella Night Happened!

Special meals are best shared with the people you love.  I definitely love this bunch of crazy foodies.  Cheers to more foodie adventures UBP!

Have a Mosquito-Free Environment

This month, Discovery will use its global reach to focus the world’s attention on the single greatest agent of death in modern human history:  the mosquito. The global crisis is highlighted in the worldwide premiere of the upcoming Discovery Impact film MOSQUITO, Thursday, July 6th at 9:50pm, on Discovery Channel and Discovery Networks around the world. 

In the Philippines, the rainy season has officially started and as much as we enjoy the cold weather, the wet season poses a potential threat in the form of dengue, a mosquito-borne disease which is usually seen during the rainy season. What could be seen as a minor bite from this tiny creature can be more fatal than we think.

 

Recent news coverage around the globe has highlighted individual outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika, Malaria, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, Chikungunya, and Dengue. But there are still some safety measures we can take to stay healthy and make our homes clean, safe and mosquito-free:

 

·        Dispose water regularly

Mosquitoes breed in standing water so find time to clean up your area and eliminate stagnant water inside and around the house. Clean containers that could possibly be a breeding nest for mosquitoes such as vases, pots, and basins.

 

·        Apply mosquito repellent

Always remember that the most effective mosquito repellents are those applied to the skin other than the arm bands, necklace and strips you can attach to the body. Be protected by wearing good mosquito repellents especially when you go out of the house.

 

·        Wear proper clothing

Protect yourself from mosquito bites by wearing long sleeves and pants especially when travelling or going out of town. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes as disease-carrying mosquitoes are able to bite through this type of clothing.

 

·        Watch your scent

Mosquitoes are attracted to old sweat, and not the fresh and odorless one that our body produces after exercising. Sweat begins to smell when mixed with bacteria, which creates some chemical compounds that entices mosquitoes.

 

·        Keep yourself away from dirty water

Avoid getting near clogged gutters and flooded areas as these are commonly present during the rainy season.

·        Plant mosquito-repellent herbs in your garden

Best to place plants like basil, citronella, lemon balm, and garlic in your garden. It will not just beautify your home but also keep the family away from mosquitoes as these plants drive mosquitoes away because of their smell.

 

·        Spray good insecticides

Keep the neighborhood mosquito-free by spraying insecticides in the dark corners of the house. As much as possible try to spray insect repellent during daytime and use water-based sprays which are safe to humans and toxic-free.
