For the Week 4 of Listerine's Dare to Get Total Care Challenge, I was tasked to break as many jawbreakers as I could in one minute. To do this, I started my Sunday early. I looked for jawbreakers at Mall of Asia and found some at Candy Corner. Wow, I didn't know jawbreakers were really hard to break, like it could literally break one's jaw!



According to Wikipedia, jawbreakers (sometimes called gabstoppers) are hard confectionaries. They are usually consist of a number of layers. Each layer dissolves to reveal a differently-colored (and sometimes differently-flavoured!) layer, before dissolving completely. They are either sucked or licked, being too hard to bite, without risking dental damage."



It took me 24 minutes before breaking a regular size of jawbreaker from Candy Corner. Yes, it was true that each sweet layer was differently-colored and when I finally broke it, a sour-sweet flavor came off. Here's the video of my attempt to break a jawbreaker:



While my teeth were naturally strong and made stronger by Listerine, it took them some time before winning the battle against the jawbreakers. I'm glad, though, that in the end my teeth reigned supreme over the hard candies. With continued use of Listerine that strengthens teeth against tooth decay, I'm confident that I could enjoy a worry-free snacking.

P.S. Please watch out for my Week 5 with Listerine Total Care Challenge as I'll be giving two more Listerine gift packs to two lucky commenters! :)

Last week, I watched a free concert by up and coming Pinoy performers held at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati. Dubbed as "Tunog Natin: An OPM Concert Series," it aims to revive the Filipino audience's interest for homegrown talents and locally-composed songs. The first in the series, the June 15 concert was presented by real estate developer Avida Land Corporation and coincided the launch date of the second tower of Avida Towers San Lorenzo, their latest condominium offering in Makati.

My superfriend and fellow blogger Nice and I arrived at the venue tad early. We were surprised at the volume of people who showed up to watch the concert. They all looked so excited and having fun. When we found out the line-up of performers that night, we easily got hyped up as well.



Here is the list of Pinoy performers who serenaded the crowd that night:

1. Apo HIking Society stalwart Jim Paredes
2. True Faith
3. Sitti
4. Callalily
5. 6CycleMind
6. Pedicab
7. Princess Velasco
8. Sabrina
9. Myrus (project head of the Tunog Natin concert series)
10. 1:43
11. Aries Sales

What can I say? They were all world-class artists, something that we as Pinoys should be proud of. I particularly liked the performance of 6CycleMind and Mr. Jim Paredes because not only did they sing well, but they also knew how to connect with the audience and sustain their interest.

Tunog Natin is also sponsored by Ayala Land, Banapple and Freego. Stay tuned for more free OPM concerts to be announced in the coming days. :)

It’s that time of the year again when I have to renew the registration of my domains. If you’re like me who own some domains and make money online, this becomes a part of your blogging life and you somehow get used to it. While others renew the registration of their domains automatically, I only renew mine manually as I still have to make sure I have money in my Paypal account (my mode of payment).

Renewing the registration of my domains is fairly easy. What I do is I keep track of the last time I registered them. I don’t rely on reminders sent to my email by the domain registrar. I have been used to this system and so far, it has been quite effective in my management of my domains. To save on precious dollars, I look for promo codes or discount coupons online. Recently, I have noticed that I’m relying on these promo codes to get the best value for my money.

I also look for discount coupons when shopping online. Did you know that there are thousands of shopping coupons given out to consumers every day. A GoToMeeting Promo Code, for instance, not only gives you access to a wide variety of merchandise online, but it also allows you to buy them at discounted prices.

May it be a new domain, a new dress or a new gadget, make sure you look for some free online coupons before purchasing to save up some bucks. Before you know it, the combined discounts you got from them could just give you more shopping money.

For Week 3, lemme show you some photos of myself (past and current) showing my best smile. My goal to achieve total oral health with the help of the no.1 mouthwash in the Philippines is slowly (but surely) getting tangible results. My Listerine experience, on the other hand, has been very good. I have been used to the the initial strong flavor that ends on a clean, mint-y note leaving my mouth with a thin layer of protection against cavity-forming and bad breath-causing bacteria.



My teeth aren't pearly white but are a bit on yellow side (guess this is the reason why they're strong and do not decay easily, haha). Did you know that Listerine Total Care prevents tartar to help teeth retain their natural color? My set of yellowish teeth has never been a problem to me. So long as they're strong and in perfect shape, I'll continue to show off my best smile at any given chance.



As promised, I now would like to announce the two winners of Listerine gift packs who shared their oral care pledges to me in my Week 2 post. And they are none other than (drum rolls please...) Niarbie and Irishell.

I chose them personally and I have my reasons with me. Niarbie, for being the early bird and for having a very straightforward oral care pledge.

As with Irishell, her oral care pledge was simple yet it showed how a good oral care regimen could be passed on from one generation to the next. In her case, it was his Dad who introduced Listerine to their family and since then, it has become an indispensable part of their oral care practices.

Congratulations, ladies! Please wait for my email on how you could claim your prize.

My sincerest thanks to all who joined our little contest! I hope to see you all again on Week 5 where I will be giving away two more Listerine gift packs to two lucky winners. :)
