Kung Paano Nanalo sa Karera si Rosang Taba - review

With the lengthy title, who would not get curious? Kung Paano Nanalo sa Karera si Rosang Taba is actually a children's short story by Dean Francis Alfar adapted to a stage play that gives great impact. Aside from the suggestion that it makes fun of curvy individuals, it discusses beautifully layers of liberty, family relations and teaches lessons that open minds in an entertaining and pedagogic way.

Starting in a setting in a bar accompanied by catchy singing and music, the play was able to gather the attention of the audience by participating to the intros. Then the cast appear one by one and told their roles in the story so that everyone can follow.

Then it starts the main story, transporting the stage into colonial setting. The characters were divided into Hispanics and natives, wherein social injustice is being exposed. Our heroine Rosa, knows to fight back and betting on all odds, she challenged a wealthy and powerful Pietrado in a race. Then a layer of discrimination and body shaming adds to the issues that were already present. The post-show call back surprisingly revealed more than just the colonialism and fat shaming were tapped in the story. The short story has been put into greater heights and digs deeper with the lessons it entail.

Rody Vera (playwright), Kiki Baento (Rosang Taba) and Maynard Manansala (playwright) 

Two years in the pandemic has evolved the original plans of production to what it is today. The creative team has put together great ideas other than injecting comic factors that will surely be appreciated by audience from all ages. The stage, the script, and cast are seamless overall that it makes it a feast for the eyes and soul. My words would not be enough to say that it is perfect to watch and to repeat.

Kung Paano Nanalo sa Karera si Rosang Taba runs until April 2, 2023 at the UP Main Theater in UP Diliman. For tickets, you may buy from https://ticket2me.net/o/531

The book How Rosang Taba Won the Race by Dean Francis Alfar, is also available at the foyer, distributed by Lampara Books.

Wash and Save this Summer with LG's Washer and Dryer Technology

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it also means more laundry. Whether it's sandy beach towels or sweaty workout clothes, a reliable washing machine is a must-have for any household. If you're in the look out for a new washing machine, here are four features to consider before making your purchase.

Capacity - The capacity of a washing machine refers to the amount of laundry it can hold in one cycle. If you have a large family or regularly wash bulky items like comforters or pillows, a washing machine with a larger capacity is a must-have. However, if you live by yourself or have limited space, a smaller capacity washing machine may be more practical. LG’s washing machines are designed to carry large loads in a very compact chassis, perfect even in tight spaces.

Energy Efficiency - Energy-efficient washing machines are not only better for the environment, but they can also save you money on your energy bill. Look for washing machines with an Energy Star rating, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines. LG’s Dual Inverter Heat Pump for example, was awarded the Energy Star Most Efficient Mark in 2021 and offers up to 65% energy savings. Another feature that increases efficiency is LG’s Turbowash, which uses a Jet Spray to get a half-load of your washing clean in 59 minutes. The improved process reduces that time by a further 20, getting your laundry done in just 39 minutes using high-pressure sprays that wash and rinse your clothes more efficiently, using less water and therefore less energy.

Noise Level - If your laundry room is located near living spaces or bedrooms, a noisy washing machine can be a major disturbance. Look for washing machines that have a low decibel rating, which means they operate quietly. LG's Direct Drive Motor is connected to a washing machine tub directly without any belt or pulley, minimizing noise vibrations. This simplified structure helps running washing machines to be quiet and reliable.

Smart Features - Smart washing machines offer a range of features that can make laundry day easier and more efficient. LG’s washing machines provide seamless integration with the Smart ThinQ app. The app will then diagnose any problems that you might be having with your machine and give you a solution. It also lets you control, schedule, and monitor your laundry cycles remotely through your smartphone in real-time.

When purchasing a new washing machine for the summer season, consider its capacity, energy efficiency, noise level, and smart features. LG’s washing machines, which was named the No.1 Home Laundry Appliances brand in ASEAN and No.1 Automatic Dryer brand in Asia Pacific by Euromonitor International Limited, meet all these criteria while also providing excellent aftersales and competitive pricing. By taking these factors into account, you can find the washing machine that meets your needs and helps make laundry day a breeze.

C-Lium Fibre Pushes for #HealthGoals Via Habit Formation

The top-of-mind brand promotes the benefit of daily fiber supplementation in preventing chronic diseases with #PushNaYanWithMyDailyFiber

I am actually surprised that C-Lium Fibre already has flavors in stock so it's more delicious to take in so we can flush those gut toxins away and live a healthy lifestyle.

Three years into the pandemic but moving towards a sense of normalcy in our lives, C-Lium Fibre, the top-of-mind psyllium fiber brand is inspiring Filipinos to realize their health goals through habit formation so they can continue to be more present for the people who matter in their lives. 

 
With its 2023 campaign “Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber” Pascual Lab’s fiber food supplement brand C-Lium Fibre hopes to create awareness of the importance of good lifestyle and nutrition habits and how these can prevent chronic diseases.

Healthy Lifestyle 
Daily habits such as exercising for 30 minutes a day, getting around eight (8) hours of sleep, and managing your stress can do wonders for the health.
 
Proper Diet and Nutrition 
Equally important to a healthy lifestyle is getting the right nutrients. With a focus on fiber, the campaign hopes to impart the benefits of fiber as part of our day-to-day nutrition and how daily supplementation can help deter chronic diseases. 
 
Fiber for Fitness 
According to research, getting enough fiber can help prevent heart disease, diabetes and regulate bowel movement.
 
One rich source of fiber is psyllium fiber which pushes away toxins from the body. It has soluble and insoluble fiber which works in two ways: 
 
1. It binds excess bad cholesterol, excess fat, and sugar and  
2. Pushes them out of the body.
 
According to DOST-FNRI, we need at least 20 to 25 grams of fiber daily.
 
I-Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber 
C-Lium Fibre has both 100% natural soluble and insoluble fiber in convenient formats: capsule and husk. A daily dose of a sachet of C-Lium Fibre alone can give you 5 grams of fiber which is equivalent to 5 cups of Romaine lettuce, 8 cups of cooked white rice, or 3 medium-sized tomatoes.
 
C-Lium Fibre’s husk format comes in regular and flavored variants. 

C-Lium Fiber in Four Easy Steps 
C-Lium Fibre is easy to take: 
1. Pour a sachet of C-Lium Fibre husk into half an 8. oz glass of water

2. Stir for 10 seconds.

3. Drink immediately and completely.

4. Follow with another glass of water or juice.  

For capsule, take 5 capsules before breakfast and 5 capsules before dinner to get the equivalent of 5 grams fiber. 
 
C-Lium Fiber is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide, and at PascualLab’s official Lazada and Shopee stores.
