Red Ribbon Says: Let There Be "WHITE"

Yesterday, we were treated to a WHITE event by Red Ribbon as they unveiled their latest scrumptious, cake. Check out  the description and note all the adjectives:

Creamy white chocolate melt-in-your-mouth shavings

Light, moist white chiffon cake
Layers of real cherry bits filling and a fusion of cream and white chocolate flakes
Crowned with beautiful cream rosettes
Luscious long-stemmed, red maraschino cherries on top

Hungry already? Here is Red Ribbon's take on the already famous Black Forest cake -- the new Red Ribbon White Forest Cake!

I was thankful that Red Ribbon thought of the mommies and held a separate, afternoon launch. Some of my mommy friends brought along their kids so it was a nice reunion for us as well. The other bloggers had theirs in the evening.

Aside from just making us taste the White Forest cake, we were treated to some of the new meals and pastries that Red Ribbon will be offering:

(Spaghetti with Large Meatballs)

(Grilled Ensaimada with Farmer's Ham)

They also improved their Salisbury Steak which is now 100% beef, and their Creamy Carbonara. Another thing I noticed that was new on their menu was their variety of Hot Brews (coffee): Americano, Latte, Cappuccino and Mocha.

Red Ribbon now carries a new pastry: Ube Mamon. My kids had them as packed baon today.

This is as good a time as any to drop by the Red Ribbon outlet nearest you and try the White Forest Cake as well as their other new items. The White Forest Cake sells for P560 (regular) and P335 (junior).

Del, the First Hypoallergenic Fabric Softener, Comes to Town

Parents of allergy-prone children, take note! Here is one laundry solution that has recently come to town.

If your laundry woes are like mine, you know how difficult it is to have children who are allergic to detergent. It took several trials and errors before we stumbled upon a laundry bar that was acceptable to my youngest son. But even then, we could not use fabric softener for his clothes as they were not hypoallergenic.

Recently, Del Hypoallergenic Fabric Softener was launched -- the first and only such variant in the country.

















Del leads in spreading the word about the use of hypoallergenic products via its Allergy Awareness Program. Their aim is to educate moms regarding allergies as an epidemic that is prevalent in homes but easily prevented. In addition, they are advocating the use by consumers of hypoallergenic products by understanding its benefits and the costs of NOT doing so.

One way by which consumers will eventually recognize hypoallergenic products is via the Hypoallergenic Seal which will be on tested hypoallergenic products.













To start off their program, Del created the character Itchy the Grump (portrayed in real life by Francis Magalona's youngest son, Arkin). Itchy the Grump is the story of a grumpy and unpleasant kid who suffers from allergies. The story of Itchy the Grump was made into a book which is made available for FREE to consumers.

You can also visit Del's portal at www.wearitchfreeclothes.com where you can learn more about allergies and different ways to prevent it. You will also find the video of Itchy the Grump there as well as ongoing promos.

Watch out for their upcoming video contest which your kids aged 3-10 years can join.

modu: Launching Soon in the Philippines!

In the Philippine world of mobile phones, this name may not yet be known. But not for long. Globe Telecom has announced that very soon, it will introduce modu into the local market. Yes, the good news is that the Philippines is among the first countries to launch this mobile phone.

modu is the world's lightest, fully functional, customizable and modular mobile phone, weighing in at only 1.5 oz., and yet has a music player, mass storage device and 2GB memory.

What mobile users will see different with modu, compared to existing mobile phone features, is its incredible potential for personalization through interchangeable modu jackets which can change the look and feel of the phone -- from fashionable to rugged to techie and more. With just one modu handset and several jackets, you could have a phone that looks different each day of the week.

Globe has not released the launch date yet nor modu's pricing/plans but as soon as that's out, I will update this post.

I'm excited to hold the modu in my hands. Check out this teaser video for yourself.
