Growing up, I remember being relatively sickly, so I was frequently bombarded with vitamins and medicines. It eventually came to a point when my body would seemingly reject all the meds I’ve been taking. The doctor then advised us to take a break. We resorted to adding more fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water, […]
Health
Matters of the HEART, especially in the time of COVID-19.
Coming from my blog post last September about the “For Your SweetHeart” global campaign on raising awareness on the critical link between Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease, I am sharing yet again more helpful information about this sickness. In fact, when I attended this virtual event, it opened my eyes even more on the […]
#SayGoodbyeToDryEye with Systane
Having had dry eyes since college days made it difficult for me to perform my everyday activities, like reading, writing, watching, etc. It’s also a challenge to ride in an airplane, be inside an airconditioned room or just when I am outdoors especially when I am traveling. The abrupt hit of the wind gives me […]
“For Your Sweetheart”
No. This is not a Valentine’s Day post. But yes. This is about the heart… Our heart. A few days ago, I attended the official Philippines launch of “For Your SweetHeart” Zoom webinar. This global campaign was made to raise awareness and discuss the critical link between Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease. You see, […]
Maria Health makes healthcare truly affordable
As a freelancer, I have to market my services, look for clients, partner with brands for collaborations, and so much more.

The past months have been very disappointing for me. I have been in and out of the hospital and have undergone a series of routine heart check-ups and monitoring. These procedures have been nothing less than stressful! The kind of stress that affects you emotionally and physically. And because I don’t want to be overwhelmed […]

Stay mentally sharp with SPIKE Dietary Supplement
When I was still a student cramming for exams, I would usually eat nuts, take vitamins, load up on vegetables and make sure my diet has fish that’s rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and more. That was back in the day when options were very limited. But as time went on and with the […]
#RunWithMe2018
13 weeks ago, I started training for my first ever 5K run. I even documented it on my Instagram Stories. But during the course of my training, I felt so sluggish and bored, maybe also due to my tight schedule and weather concerns. There were many instances when I just didn’t want to continue with […]
Dailies AquaComfort Plus by Alcon – Clear. Convenient. Comfortable!
I remember many years ago when my grandfather would have his lens implants replaced every so often. He would be confined for a couple of days and have his surgery, then recover. Then after a few years, he’d have to repeat the process all over again. Grueling, tedious and painstaking! But with the wonders of […]
