Keep your Active Body Protected: Safeguard Active Body Wash with 12 Hour Odor Protection

 

image

When In Manila, good personal hygiene is one of the most important aspects of living a clean and healthy lifestyle. As a very active person, this is even more essential as my body is constantly going through rigorous activities. So making sure that it’s well maintained is something that I take very seriously.

 

It’s like the way we take care of our car. It needs to be maintained and cleaned regularly so that it can look great. Regular washing and waxing while your exterior is still in tiptop shape is needed before it’s too late and your paint starts fading.

Five 5 Total Care Ways to Prepare for Life: Relationships, Dates, Careers and your Future

Throughout my short time in this world, I’ve come to find out a few things that has always gotten me through the tough times. Whenever I get too nervous, or too overwhelmed with the task at hand, I tend to look back at my past and try to figure out how I’ve overcome those other trials and hardships. I’ve come to a conclusion that there are five main things I do to help give me the strength and the confidence needed, let me share them with you.

 

Vince-Golangco-Filipino-Speaker

 

1. SUCCESS IS PREPARATION MEETING OPPORTUNITY

One random day, in a random city, at a random building, you’ll get into an elevator with a big shot whom you really look up to but have only seen in the magazines, watched on TV or heard on radio. But now, for whatever strange coincidence, you’ll be alone in an elevator with him/her. What do you do now? Are you ready to give your elevator spiel on why you matter? Many times in life, the biggest and best opportunities come out of nowhere. You will not have any time to stop and prepare and you may miss out on these once in a lifetime occasions. Instead, you should always be preparing yourself. Figure out what you want to do in life and start preparing. You may want to be a big TV star, so start preparing your acting skills even before the audition. You may want to be a big banker, so start preparing your financial knowledge by knowing what’s going on with the economy and with the banks. You never know who you might need to impress out of the blue. Successful people are always ready whenever the time comes. Success is preparation meeting opportunity!

 

2. DO YOUR RESEARCH

In many events, challenges, matches or big moments in your life, you will probably have some time to properly prepare for the situation. This is where the big players gets separated from the little boys. The real winners do their research! They research everything from the venue, the audience, the background of the event, all the way to the names of the guards at the door. Someone well prepared will be much more comfortable and confident when that said event finally takes place. Little things like showing up to the event early and checking your PowerPoint presentations on the projector or knowing where the podium is or even just meeting the organizers of the event play a big role when you finally have to give that big presentation! Do your research!

 

3. FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT

It’s an old saying that is so much more useful when you actually implement it! Usually, before a big speech, people would pace around the backstage telling everyone in sight that they are nervous. This actually hinders your confidence and ability to do well because you are setting your mind and yourself to think that you are nervous. Instead, pretend that you aren’t. Tell yourself that you are not nervous and tell everyone else that too. If you start pretending that you’re comfortable, you might start pretending to act like a confident person and next thing you know, you actually become confident. The universe has a strange way of giving you what you ask for, make sure you’re asking it to make you confident rather than telling it to make you more nervous. Fake it til’ you make it!

 

4. MIND THE DETAILS

It’s all about the little details. I remember my college professor telling me that the little things matter! They matter because the little things are a reflection of how you will handle the bigger things. If you can’t be trusted with the little things, how can we trust you with the big ones. If you forget to email that document your boss told you to email, or if you misplace the copies of the lunch menu your colleagues asked you for, then when it comes down to assigning you bigger tasks, they might be a bit hesitant to ask for your service or to give you that promotion. So make sure you check all the small things. Mind the details!

 

5. TOTAL CARE

I use this as a metaphor for everything else like combing your hair, shining your shoes and making sure your tie is sharp! Part of having the full confidence you need is having the basic tools necessary. Always dress to impress! It’s better to dress up than to be dressed down. So keep that breath fresh! It starts not just at the moment of your big event, but from months ago. Get that suit ironed out, but that nice tie you need and start using that mouthwash for that total care you need to succeed. Confidence comes from within, it comes from what you do day in and day out. So be sure you are prepared for that big day of yours but getting ready now! Total care starts NOW!

Original Vince G of Philippine Radio at the Krispy Kreme Green Lantern Preview

After moving back to the Philippines just over a year ago, I somehow fell into a wonderful job of being a radio announcer / DJ. I wasn’t very creative with my radio name nor did I really do any research, and just used my real name of Vince G, with the “G” just being short of my last name, Golangco.

Months after my stint in radio had begun, I found out that my radio name of “Vince G” had actually been used before by former radio DJ Vince Garrucho.

Fortunately, no angry mails had come my way from fans of, or from the original Vince G himself.

Anyway, I hosted a Krispy Kreme exclusive movie screening of the new Green Lantern movie to also promote their new Green Lantern Kreme Doughnuts.

The cool part about tonight was meeting this very friendly guy named “Vince.” I could sense a radio voice when he introduced himself and I immediately asked if he was indeed, “Vince G?” To my surprise, he actually was!

This original Vince G was really nice and we even chit chatted about his past radio career and his current hobbies like photography and diving. Original Vince G also spoke of his new Helo-Diving business, where scuba divers first jump out of a helicopter when they get to their destination.

Vicne G original

Anyway, just really excited to meet this Vince guy! He has a really cool name! =)

Also, do try the really yummy Green Lantern Kreme Doughnut!

Krispy Kreme Introduces The Green Lantern Kreme Doughnut

In the brightest day, in the blackest night…you can now enjoy a new Krispy Kreme delight.

Thanks again to my friends from Krispy Kreme for having me host this exclusive event with them.

Meralco Emerging Technologies for the NEW Smart Home: The Future of Electricity

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-37

Ever since that first lightning strike and the discovery of electricity, the world had moved forward in dramatic ways! Taking us from the age of darkness into the age of light. Perhaps no other discovery or invention has come close to creating such a positive charge in the human race, except for the internet. Now, imagine if those two powerhouses can work together.

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-2

I was completely amazed at the recent Meralco exhibit where they showed off some of their up-and-coming technologies to help better improve the lives of Filipinos from all walks of life.

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-4

There was an entirely new concept of how we can consume electricity more efficiently and also how we can integrate the use of the internet to better secure our homes and save money and power.

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-7 Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-9

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-38

From Smart Meters that allow you the option for prepaid electricity, to Smart Homes that presented modern day automated solutions for today’s appliances, it was all there for us to behold.

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-6 Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-22

I was particularly excited about the “Home Area Network” feature where you could control your internet connected lights, locks, curtains, appliances and event thermostat of your home. With just a click of a button on your phone or tablet you could control everything in your home, without even being home. It just seemed like a great way to monitor your house and not having to worry on whether or not you locked the door or left some appliances running while you are out of town.

Meralco-Electric-Co-Company-Metro-Manila-Philippines-WhenInManila-26

Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed with the Meralco Apps that would give you information and access to Meralco services at your fingertips. You’ll be able to calculate which appliances contribute most to your electricity bill. You’ll also be able to know your Meralco bill details, locate the nearest Meralco business center, find out scheduled maintenance in your area and so much more, all available on your iPad, iPhone or Android powered device.

Overall, it was an exciting day and one filled with wonder about what more the future might bring.

Thanks so much to Meralco for having me at this eye opening and geek-gasmic event!

First Day at Channel [V] interviewing Miss Philippines Earth Athena Mae Imperial

I was nervous as hell! Not that I haven’t hosted or been on TV before… but I guess there was just something about being really excited about a job or an event that you think is really cool!

It was more of the “damn this is too good to be true” type jitters that had me shaken up a bit.

Channel-V-Philippines-New-VJ-Vince-Golangco

I’ve heard of big stars, celebrities, rockers and all the big stage performers talking about how they needed some fix to help calm them before performing on the big stage. I would have totally taken whatever they were taking if someone had offered me something just to calm myself.

Overall, I had a blast anyway!

On my first day at Channel [V] Philippines, I interviewed the winners of the Miss Philippines Earth pageant including Miss Philippines Earth 2010 winner Athena Mae Imperial, Miss Philippines Eco Tourism 2011 Tarhata Clio Shari Rico, Miss Philippines Fire 2011 Michelle Gavagan and Miss Philippines Water 2011 Murielle Adrienne Orais.

Channel V Miss Earth 008

My cohost for this Channel V special feature was Star World international VJ, Cliff Cole.

We have a lot more shows and features lined up so stay tuned! I’m just glad to get that first feature out of the way to loosen me up a bit.

Here’s to more fun stuff in the near future! (oh and word on the street is that other than my own show on Channel V, I’ll be VJing a lot and already have an interview with Manny Pacquiao lined up…. BOOHYAH!)

Week 2: Clean My Dirty Filthy Mouth Report

I remember a co-worker of mine named George, always had this pet peeve against that people who did their  job half-assed. George would say that it’s such a waste of time  because though you may have been able to rush through the task initially, in the end, you’d just end up having to re-do the entire job or even end up with more work to do, just to cover up for the initial half-assedness… (is that a word?)

vince2

With that said I’m now making a pledge of “TOTAL CARE.”

Total care applies to everything from caring about my loved ones, caring about my planet, caring about both my girlfriends… and caring about my health!

First and foremost with my health would be my teeth. You’ve all heard the dentist tell you that the best way to protect them is do the trifecta! Brush, Floss and Gargle!

vince1

I’m on my second week of this six week Total Care challenge of Listerine and we’ll see what the dentist says on my evaluation checkup.

As for you guys, my loving readers, NOW is finally the time to make that promise, to make that PLEDGE to yourself to prevent plaque buildup! Reduce that bad plaque, which often leads to serious oral problems! Why wait until it’s too late… your teeth should not be left uncared for!

To help you out! I’m giving away ONE LISTERINE GIFT PACK to the comment with the BEST PLEDGE!

My second pledge would now be to make sure I move my cat out of the way before brushing my teeth….

Take the Wheat Grass: Grasstig Ka Ba health challenge at Watsons

Take the Grasstig Ka Ba health challenge at Watsons
When it’s summer, malling offers a welcome respite from the heat, work-related stress, boredom.

When you go to the malls this summer, you can drink wheatgrass juice for its all-round health benefits and get a chance to win cool items from the Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass Grasstig Ka Ba Challenge.

To join, just buy any of these Easy Pha-max products at select Watsons branches: 10+1 Value Pack, Wheatgrass Pure 30 sachets in a box, or Wheatgrass Honey 15 sachets in a box. Then go to the Grasstig Ka Ba Challenge booth and drink within five seconds one glass of Wheatgrass Honey to win one of these items (your choice): a Certified Grasstig shirt, tumbler or umbrella.

A purchase of Wheatgrass 10+1 Value Pack also entitles you to have a free live blood analysis (LBA) where trained nurses extract a tiny drop of blood from your finger tip. On a monitor, you see how your blood behaves inside your body. The LBA test shows the level of acidity in your body and helps detect health conditions you’re suffering from.

Called “super food”, wheatgrass purifies the blood, flushes out toxins from the body, lowers blood pressure and helps relieve constipation.

The Grasstig Ka Ba Challenge was held recently at Watsons outlets in Gateway Mall, V- Mall Greenhills, Market Market, SM Fairview Hypermarket, SM City North Edsa, and SM Mall of Asia. You can catch its final leg on May 7 and 8 at Watsons branches in Festival Mall and SM Megamall.

Easy Pha-max Phils. Inc. is the country’s leading distributor of wheatgrass-based health products.

PUMA SOCIAL puts the spotlight on After Hours Social Athletes

I wanted to thank my friends from Puma for introducing me to this event and introducing me to the new social concept of “Social Athletes” or “After-Hours Athletes”.” Curious as to what that is…. well read on…

When-In-Manila-Puma-Social-Athletes-after-hours-athlete-dj-vince-golangco-1

‘PUMA® SOCIAL’ puts the spotlight on

‘After-Hours Athletes’

Boracay-Rum-Puma-PFA-Etc 062Boracay-Rum-Puma-PFA-Etc 063

Believing that life itself is a sport and that everyone should be its champions, PUMA unveiled its new campaign at Manila’s happening club Republiq recently. Dubbed PUMA Social, the event paid tribute to Manila’s ‘after-hours athletes’, personalities who are top scorers in table tennis, foosball, darts, asking for a girl’s number, or any other social challenge that can be played with a beer in one hand.

Boracay-Rum-Puma-PFA-Etc 064

Made glittery by local celebrities who are after-hours athletes themselves, the event celebrated social sports that regale groups of friends who know how to have fun and be competitive in the arena of life. Prefer taking 5AM cab rides than 5AM runs? Going for marathons that end at 6AM? These after-hours athletes who represent PUMA Social do too, and the event brought them together for a legendary league.

When-In-Manila-Puma-Social-Athletes-after-hours-athlete-dj-vince-golangco-2

Fueling the burning passion of after-hours athletes, PUMA Social inspires with its line of iconic styles that are functional and stylish such as the PUMA Suede, Dallas and the T7 Track Jacket. With such comfortable and stylish gear, social events become matches easily won.

“PUMA Social is a global campaign that celebrates the after-hours athlete – those unsung heroes of the night who, after work or any undertaking takes time to relax, grab a pingpong paddle, dart pin or bowling ball while a drink on the other; those who take life not too seriously,” said Teresa Liwanag, PUMA Philippines marketing head.

When-In-Manila-Puma-Social-Athletes-after-hours-athlete-dj-vince-golangco-3

Puma Social continues until May with Social Games featuring pingpong and foosball matches at Encore Superclub at the Fort starting April 12 then off Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod and Davao.

Blue Bloods: When Law Means More Than Blood Ties

Tom Selleck makes stellar comeback in new family-cop drama

… skillfully done and performed.”

USA TODAY

“CBS’s ‘Blue Bloods’ is one of the best new series of the fall season…solid and satisfying”

St. Louis Post Dispatch

AXN, Southeast Asia’s No. 1 international channel, is excited to be the first in Asia to premiere Blue Bloods and a special press screening will be held on Thursday Feb 17, 2011 at the Newport Ultra Cinema at 6PM. This latest offering is by the same award-winning producers of hit TV series The Sopranos, Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green; and the creator that gave audiences iconic TV series Charlies’ Angels, Starsky and Hutch and Fantasy Island, Leonard Goldberg.

BLU-castyear101i (Custom)

Praised as “one of the season’s five best new shows” by Entertainment Weekly, Blue Bloods has indeed lived up to its promise. The series debut in the United States was CBS’ highest rated Friday night premiere in 6 years! Critics universally praise Blue Bloods for its compelling characters, brilliant writing and engaging plot lines. In fact, the show has done so well for CBS that its shift from Friday to Wednesday nights has been a stellar success, topping its best ratings since its premiere!

A drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement, Blue Bloods marks multi-award winning Tom Selleck’s (Magnum P.I., Jesse Stone) return to prime-time TV. The stellar cast of young and seasoned actors include Donnie Wahlberg (Righteous Kill, Band of Brothers), Broadway luminary Len Cairou (Damages, The West Wing) and Bridget Moynahan (Coyote Ugly, Sex and the City).

Frank Reagan (Selleck) is the New York Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood.  He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry (Cairou), during his stint as commissioner.  A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son Danny (Wahlberg), a seasoned detective and Iraqi War veteran who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases.

The sole Reagan woman in the family, Erin (Moynahan), is a New York Assistant District Attorney and newly single parent, who also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father. Jamie (Will Estes, Reunion, U-571) is the youngest Reagan, fresh out of Harvard Law and the family’s “golden boy”; however, unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decides to give up a lucrative future in law and is now a newly minted cop. Jamie’s life takes an abrupt turn when he is asked to become part of a clandestine police investigation even his father knows nothing about and which might have been related to the death of his brother, Joe.

Indeed, what sets Blue Bloods apart from the run-of-the-mill cop drama is its focus on blood ties and the clashes that inevitably arise from having a family of cops and a daughter as a prosecutor. As Tom Selleck shared in an interview, “One of the key elements of the show almost every week is a family dinner. Frank is a patriarch of a family… They’re Irish and they’re Catholic and they argue a lot at family dinner but it seems to be one of the favourite parts of the show.”

Blue Bloods’ balanced combination of nail-biting detective drama and family struggles offers rich material rarely handled so well by both a cast of actors and writers. It invites you to fall in love and admire the men and women who struggle in and out of themselves to maintain order in New York City and their families. Sometimes, law enforcement means more than blood ties.

Blue Bloods debuts with a double-episode premiere on:

Cleanse Your Body with Super Wheat Grass at the Easy Pha-max Lifestyle Center

Just wanted to say thanks to our friends from Easy Pha-max for inviting us to this very informational event! They talked to us about healthy lifestyles and the awesome healthy things out there we can use to help our bodies. I for one was particularly interested as I’ve been eating waaaay too many crazy things from my travels and adventures.

I’m very excited to hear about the powers of Wheat Grass and the wonders it can do for your body. Plus, they also had many more products that could help you cleanse that hard working body of yours.

I LOVE GRASS!

A healthy take on life!

Easy Pha-max opens 1st Lifestyle Center at MOA

The first Lifestyle Center that gives Filipinos easy access to health resources in a relaxed setting opened yesterday (January 20) at the SM Mall of Asia.

It is the brainchild of Easy Pha-max Phils. Inc, the country’s leading distributor of wheatgrass-based health products.

Mall shoppers looking for other healthy lifestyle options will find their answer in the Lifestyle Center located at the 2nd level, south wing of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Easy Pha-max CEO Edward Ling said it is a one-stop shop for the company’s wheatgrass-based health products that include Wheatgrass Pure, Wheatgrass with Honey, Bio Coffee, So Easy Colon Cleanse, Whea-gee (for kids), Bio Soy Milk, Skywheatgrass Plus, Insupro Forte (anti-diabetes), among others. Other products like Wheatgrass ready-to-drink (in can) will retail soon.

It is the first of several soon-to-rise lifestyle health centers this year that the company and its channel partners will put up across the country.

Incorporated on 28 November 2007, Easy Pha-max is a subsidiary of INS Bioscience which is engaged in the scientific research and development and commercialization of herbal remedies and bioscience products in Malaysia. Easy Pha-max is the only company that uses both the leaves and roots of the wheatgrass to get the maximum amount of proteins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll that neutralize toxins and restores alkalinity to the blood.

As such, the Lifestyle Center will give mall shoppers access, on any day, to antioxidant dietary supplements, health information and diagnostic screenings.

Customers shopping at the mall can have their health check-ups from experienced nurses and dietitians using modern diagnostic tools like the Live Blood Analysis and Inner Body Scan which provide information on the body’s health condition.

The LBA identifies traces of cholesterol, uric acid and damaged cells in the blood. The Inner Body Scan on the other hand, shows the metabolic age and condition of the body.

Exclusive Easy Pha-max merchandise like the “I Love Grass” shirts, umbrellas and other accessories are also being sold at the center.

The center is operated by artist Charles de Nava who runs Rotech Arts & Frames which provide contemporary artwork services in selected malls in Luzon. De Nava is one of the more than 500 accredited distributors of Easy Pha-max products, managing 22 kiosks and carts sprayed across Metro Manila shopping malls.

Ling said the Lifestyle Center will help Filipinos understand holistic wellness, why it is important to reduce the risk of getting sick and how they can prevent contracting diseases.

“Since day one of our operations four years ago, we’ve been in the business of motivating Filipinos towards leading healthy lifestyles. The Lifestyle Center is a wonderful opportunity for us to make healthcare more accessible. We are identifying locations in Metro Manila and in other key cities in the country where we can achieve our company vision of transforming lives and communities by restoring people’s health,” he explained.

Ling clarified the Lifestyle Center will not replace clinics and hospitals, rather, the company wants to encourage consumers to adopt healthy lifestyles by giving them access to the latest health information and products.

The company has tapped admired celebrities to endorse its wheatgrass products like ABS-CBN sportscaster/athlete Dyan Castillejo and actress/aerobic exercise instructor Jackie Lou Blanco. Their infomercials are showing on Cable TV in 14 cities across the country. In Metro Manila, the infomercial is screened daily on SkyCable 11 and Destiny Cable 3, 10pm – 12 midnight.
