Mosbeau - Beyond Expectation

For many Asian girls, ladies, and women, having white skin make you a very good-looking person because white compliments whatever you wear. Ironically, most Asians get natural brown or black skin.

Mosbeau is a food supplement in Japan that effectively whitens skin. It is fast, safe, and doesn't have side effects because its ingredients are produced and processed by the company itself. All the products commonly contain Placental Protein, Collagen, Glutathione, Vitamin C, Asparagus Extract,Crystallization Cellulose, Glycine, Lactose, and Sucrose Ester.

Tibiao Fish Spa

For most of us, the best way to have fun and relax is through spa. Don't think about people massaging your body. Think about fishes. Yea! Fishes!

Fish spa is a form of ichthyotherapy that use small fishes to clean the skin. These little creatures exfoliate the skin by feeding on the dead layers. This method is safe and totally free of pain. In fact, the distinct tickly sensation produced by the skin-nibbling fishes add to the cleansing benefits and relaxing feeling.

This book was recently launched at Ayala Center Cebu's Coffee Bean, Fully Booked branch last June 5, 2011.

The title of the book speaks much about its contents; defining oneself and managing the sadness caused by the hardships in life.

For people who are forlorn and cynic, I assure you that this book is way fascinating than hardcore emo music and thinner than the width of the sole of your black and white sneakers.

Amar Delon is like anybody else. He has encountered many predicaments in life that mad him feel so weary and sad. Eventually, he was able to cope up and is now very successful in his field.

He is an actor, director, screen writer, author and an international speaker.

Because he wants to help other people to become happy, he wrote a book about happiness and finding oneself.

Thus, the coming of "Happy: Have You Found Yourself Yet?".

New Game to Invade Facebook this February 2011

Hey everyone! How have you been? While many of us are hooked with the internet because of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Plurk, we have forgotten to pay attention on thinking about our environment.

Yup! You read it right! Here's something new and exciting to watch out online- Alter Space! It is the first Filipino environmental awareness game in Facebook. It is developed by AboitizPower and it will be launched soon!

I am one of the many Facebook users who are waiting for the grand launch of the game. Let's reduce our carbon footprints and support Filipino works by playing Alter Space.

Catchy teasers right? Stay tuned for updates about the game here in Adventurouslei as I will be covering the revelation and opening of the game next month. Cheers!

15 Ways to Jumpstart Your 2011

It's January 2011! Hurray! Starts and ends are happening and for that, we should change! Time to apply our learnings from our endeavors that we have encountered last year and change for the better.

What is your plan for 2011? Don't give me a "Nothing.". Set goals and visions for the next 12 months! Time is so precious and the challenging thing is that, it flies so fast. For those of you who in one way or another can't think of what to do in the first month of 2011, I have something for you!

Pamper yourself, learn something new or just have fun with these 15 ways I recommend you to do to jumpstart your 2011. This is my personal list which I will be following starting this day and on.

• Go Green - Shift to the green lifestyle by taking part of of any environmental project held in the community. Follow environmental actions like reducing, reusing, and recycling whether at home or in other places.
• Get Physical - exercise everyday and have a balanced diet. Be a health-conscious person like no other but don't exaggerate things. Just be clean and neat.
• Sporty You - treat yourself with serious sport activities. Whatever sport you've been fascinating since your childhood years, make it come to life. Play it with a good pal.
• Start Saving - open a bank account or simply keep a piggy bank. Restrict yourself from opening it and be obliged to drop any amount of money in it everyday.
• Serious Christian - attend prayer vigils and holistic events. Reconcile to those you have sinned and forgive the people you hurt. Pray the Rosary at times and don't skip Holy Masses.
• Renew Yourself - get a new hairstyle, shave that bear, and remodel your room. Try to improve your physical looks. Make all things good and act positively. If you achieve it, don't forget to spread the good vibes to others ;)
• Give Back - involve yourself in outreach programs. Be aware of the standing of your community and your fellow countrymen. Share your blessings.

"The more you share yourself to others, the more valuable your existence in the world will become."

• Be a Model - show kindness at all times. Study hard. Outstand your co-workers. Any of the following will make you a good model wherein you will gain respect and honor. It will also turn you into an influential person.
• Hook Up - we know you love your family and friends but saying it isn't enough. Show them that you truly love them all by going out together more frequent than last year. Pig out, play some sports, go on a vacation or simply call for small cooking parties and sleep-overs to have bonding moments with them.
• Have some Recreation -  relieve your senses from the stresses you felt last year. Spend some quality time for yourself. Do what you want that will make you happy. Watching a movie, go bowling, or read a novel you like will do.
• Like Versatility - develop a new skill by starting a new hobby different from your personality. If you love rock music and dislike love songs, try listening to love songs. Try appreciating it by memorizing its lyrics and sharing it to your friends. If you like eating, learn how to cook. Enroll yourself in short-term culinary classes.

"Music is the language of the soul."

• Marry Music - be musically inclined. Sing if you love to. If you're not good at it, go to singing school or learn how to play a certain musical instrument. This will give you advantages during parties and special occassions. Aside from presenting it as a gift to your love-ones, you can open up teaching class wherein you can earn money.
• Get Out of the Country - excite yourself with something different from your culture. Visit unique tourist spots, eat unusual dishes, do some rituals of foreign natives, or learn a new language. Of course, don't forget to photograph the moments and share it to the world through social networking sites.
• Follow Something - it's really exciting to follow something that comes out rarely in a month or year. What I'm saying is, begin collecting stuff or get tuned up with some book or television series. This will make you feel contented if you achieve to own, read, or see your new collection.
• Document Your Life -  start recording your daily actions. Make a simple scrapbook of your accomplishments. Use a planner or an unused notebook. You'll be surprised at the end of the year that you have done a lot and it's all like a wosh of the wind.

Now that the first decade of 2000 has ended, it would be best to begin 2011 with a bang of productive actions. Follow my list or make your own. It would be best to have a guide that will remind you time by time, your your main goal for the year. God speed!

DePuy Orthopedics To Recall Hip Replacement Products

United States of America- DePuy Orthopedics Inc., a division of Johnson and Johnson has issued a recall of two major lines of hip replacement products. The company has announced that ASR Hip Resurfacing System and ASR XL Acetabular System have to be taken out from the market because of its system defects.

Orthopedic Surgeons identified that the failures occured due to component lossening, component malalignment and metal sensitivity. Moreover, they explain that the system consists of a metal socket and a metal femrol head hence, the connection is metal to metal. frequent rubbing of metal surfaces release ions and metal particles into the joints and the blood resulting to bone staining, necrosis, swelling, nerve damage, tissue damage and/or muscle damage. 

Research show that people who have these implants have a 1 in 8 chance of needing a revision surgery within five years. Patients who are utilizing the ASR are given notices that even in the absence of pain, any inflammation and body reaction can develop due to the circulation of ions in the body. They are strongly recommended to go and see their surgeon to have some tests. The end result is that a very expensive and painful replacement surgery intended to last about fifteen years ends up needing revision within two or three years. 

The recall affects an estimated 93,000 patients worldwide replacement systems in more than 29 different models of hip replacement implants.

The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System first became available in 2005 in the United States. At the beginning of 2010 DePuy Orthopaedics said they were phasing out the ASR Hip Implant because of declining sales, but never mentioned the high failure rate data from an Australian implant registry. In March 2010 the New York Times reported that DePuy issued its first warning to doctors and patients about the high early failure rate.However at this point they still had not issued a recall of the product. In fact, they adamantly denied there was a recall and claimed any statements referencing a recall were false. In turn of the damages being made, the DePuy lawsuit will cover all reasonable and customary costs of monitoring and treatment for services, including revision surgeries, associated with the recall of ASR products.

"Their financial losses could include lost wages and they may be entitled to money damages for physical impairment, disfigurement, scarring, mental anguish or emotional trauma, and pain and suffering in the past or future," says Thomas J. Henry of Thomas J. Henry Injury Attorneys. Patients and health care professionals with questions related to this recall should visit depuy.com. As of August 27, patients in the U.S. and Canada can contact DePuy by calling 888-627-2677 Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST. Patients in other countries can place a collect call to the U.S. at +1 813-287-1651 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

December: Christmas, Thanksgiving and Reflections

Let's all celebrate! December is here!

Today, the last month of the year starts its countdown from 1 to 31. Time to wrap up annual tokens, hang up colorful lanterns, alter red curtains, embellish cabinets with socks, decorate series lights, top our shelves with snowman figurines and so much more.

When it's Christmas Season, there are a whole lot of things to do that is very fun. It should be fun. Though December denotes that the year is about to end, everybody should be merry and joyful.

We should be thankful that we have arrived on this day alive and kicking. For God, who has given you the best gift ever, what will you give Him back on His birthday?


Addressing you these questions could be quite advance, but allow me to do it so- "How is your 2010?", "What did you accomplished?", "Did you lived up your Christmas Resolutions of last year?". Many of you may have the answer 'yes', but some have the n'o'. Santa is coming so you better be good ;)

2010, thank you!

Talking about this year would make me a very dramatic person. 2010 has given me bountiful opportunities and happenings that, for sure, will be reflected in a way or another on what will I be in the years to come.

This is the year that I boomed. And by the term 'boomed', I mean that I have been involved in so many things, I never thought I could be a part of. I have met so many kind and loving friends and had chances in attending sublime events.

Enjoy Christmas Season

It's not all the time wherein you get to bond with your family. This Christmas Season, don't let it end without exchanging hugs, kisses and 'I love yous' with them. Make peace to those you have confronted and find forgiveness to those you have made sins.

May God enrich our lives abundantly, fulfilling our earnest longings, answering our prayers and hold us closely in his loving hands. Enjoy your Christmas!

Cheers,
