Mommy Moments: My Yana’s Favorites

Favorite Activities: Fortunately, she has gotten past her inclination to electric wires and bulbs. Now, she is more fond of walking, picking up little bits and pieces and eating whatever it is that she can pick up, taking a bath, riding a motorcycle, playing peek-a-boo, tracking reflections on the mirror, hugging, kissing, cuddling, and dancing (in an odd sit-down-sit-down-you’re-rocking-the-boat manner). Favorite Food: Chocolate cake, Cream-O, Fried Chic ken, Fried Tilapi a Favorite Color: Yellow Favorite Cartoon Character: SpongeBob. S he’s a certified Spongebob fanatic. She yells whenever she sees Spongebob – on TV, on someone else’s shirt, keychains, bags, stickers, blankets, whatever. On top of that, whenever she hears the TV show’s theme song, she starts dancing and yelling (in a sing-song tone). Favorite Music: Spongebob’s theme song Favorite TV Show: Spongebob Square Pants Favorite Pet: Cat (She yells “cat” whenever she sees cats --- and dogs) Favorite Gadget: Mobile Phones an...

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Real Leaf Chronicles: Part 2

No to Hard drinks, Yes to Healthy Tea! At times, he may look a bit scruffy and impetuous with all those tattoos and his unwavering interest in racing and motors but past those first impressions, he has this fascinating personality – that of a loving hubby and a father who puts us first in his list of priorities. Whatever he reaps from hard work, he shares it with us. And on top of that, he sets a good example to our daughter with regards to drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages: “Drink Real Leaf instead!”

The Princess and The Tea...

If she frequently sees her parents with Real Leaf, then chances are, she already knows that she's supposed to drink from the bottle... but the problem is... how will she drink from it?... or worse, how would she open it... she twists, flips, and turns the bottle... and finally, her one desperate attempt... tsktsk.. my poor baby... when she turns one this 26th, I'll give her a cupful...

The Real Leaf Chronicles...

So we know that GREEN TEA can aid in digestion, promote weight loss, and stimulate the mind. But probably, most of us are not aware of other possible benefits we can get from drinking this revitalizing beverage (from MayoClinic)... a. Polyphenon E®, a proprietary extract of green tea , has been approved in the United States, for external topical use as a prescription for genital warts caused by human papilloma virus. b. Research indicates that green tea may benefit arthritis by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown. c. Research has shown caffeine to cause improvements in airflow to the lungs (bronchodilation). d. There is early suggestive evidence that regular intake of green tea may reduce the risk of heart attack or atherosclerosis (clogged arteries). e. Preliminary date suggests that a specific formulation of green tea may help prevent cold and flu symptoms. f. A study conducted in healthy postmenopausal women showed that a morning/evening menopausal formula contain...
