It is not a race, it is teamwork.

These were the words that stuck in my head when I first joined the Tough Mudder Training in Obstacle Course Factory in Makati City. I was so intimidated back then seeing those good looking men and women in a physique like there was runway show relocated in that place. I felt like a weakling that would eventually become a burden to the team being left behind in the race.

But all my speculations and ideas about Tough Mudder have change after my first day of training. I felt not just overwhelmed about my own capabilities but were also already looking forward on the next. Over a few hours, most of the “Mudders” (as each were called) felt like we already know each other. Everybody was warm and very supportive. And just like how they said it, it was truly teamwork, nobody was left behind.

Me: Doc, Can I still drink coffee?

Doc: Okay, will let it pass…

This was the parting conversation I had when I visited Affinity Dental Clinic a few weeks ago. As to what I was told, drinking coffee may not be a big sin (when it comes to dental care) but if proper steps weren’t taken, can cause permanent, yellowing stain on our teeth. We do not want that to happen, right? Thus a regular dental visit should always be in placed. Like trice or twice a year would be fine.

Metro Manila traffic has been a struggle Manileño has been battling on a day-to-day basis. Although the government has been creating different strategies to ease the traffic, it is still not enough to solve the problem. EDSA traffic could feel like a hopeless case but I do hope it could be given a proper solution. It may not be the right time yet but it was a good thing that even private companies are making an effort to develop options to escape the horrible traffic we usually experience.

Why take a car if you could just fly! ASCENT FLIGHTS by PHILJETS now offer (since March 23, 2018) a faster way to commute from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Makati and/or Quezon City and vice versa.

What does opening a 200th store feels like? Well it is a question I couldn’t answer but something Shakeys’ could. Shakey’s just recently opened up their 200th store located at Paseo de Magallanes in Makati City. Bringing the brand to a new level of WOW, the 200th store takes the family casual dining up a notch by adding new elements that have never before seen in other branches. This includes a piano as an ode to the early years of Shakey’s, where music became an integral part of the brand.
