Adaphobic for Target Shooting

Who is at risk of Cervical Cancer? Every woman is at risk. HPV or Human Papilloma Virus, a sexually transmitted infection, is a type of virus that lives in the skin or mucous membranes which usually causes no symptoms.

Cervical cancer will most likely afflict a woman who has or had multiple sexual partners, had exposure to sexually transmitted infection, had five children or more, previous or current smoker, has poor immunity and resistance to the disease. For more details about Cervical cancer, I recommend you to visit Cervical Cancer Network Program or read my previous post about this.

Before Target Shooting begin, we had a small lunch at Bizu, Greenbelt with a taste of discussion about cervical cancer. Bizu’s Macarons De Paris, soo yum yum! Though a lil bit expensive, your tongue can never forget the taste.

With the targets!

Bloggers together with Bravehearts team preparing on how to hold the gun properly and bullet reloading. By the way, this is located at Armscor Shooting Center in Makati Cinema Square.

I can not say I am cervical cancer free because I did this, target shooting is a symbol of awareness against cervical cancer.

Fast Facts About Cervical Cancer:

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide, with 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths reported each year. Over 80% of cases occur in developing countries including the Philippines, where it is ranked as the second most common cancer afflicting Filipino women. Yet few women realize that cervical cancer is actually treatable if diagnosed early.

Preventing Cervical Cancer through the Single Visit Approach (SVA), Cryotherapy and Vaccination:

One of the primary goals of Cervical Cancer Prevention Network (CECAP) is to fund cervical cancer screenings throughout the Philippines by using the Single Visit Approach (SVA) and on-the-spot treatment through cryotherapy.

SVA: The SVA combines both screening and treatment in one session. It uses an effective, low-resource screening method called the Visual Inspection using Acetic Acid (VIA), a simple technique that uses vinegar to detect precancerous lesions on the cervix and requires much less equipment and time investment than a PAP smear.

CRYOTHERAPY: a process where the areas with lesions are frozen using a common liquid coolant like carbon dioxide, effectively eliminating the abnormality and preventing possible progression to cancer.

VACCINATION: GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix (GSK)’s cervical cancer vaccine provides significant protection for women against the two most common cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV) types (HPV types 16 and 18) for nearly six and a half years, the longest duration of protection reported to date. In fact, the GSK cervical cancer vaccine does not demonstrate, at the moment, the need for a booster shot even after 6 years of vaccination. HPV types 16 and 18, together, are responsible for over 70 percent of cervical cancer cases in Asia Pacific.

GSK’s cervical cancer vaccine has also shown efficacy against persistent infection caused by 12 other cancer-causing HPV types beyond HPV 16 and 18. Designed for both young and mature women, females from 10 years old onwards can be vaccinated using GSK’s cervical cancer vaccine.

• February 20, 2009 -- Experiencing BlueWater Day Movie Theater Spa (19)

BlueWater Day Spa, a Spa with Movie Theater, is located along Ortigas Avenue (near Greenhills Shopping Center). From the moment I enter the lobby, their staffs are obedient and all are young. Fruits and drinks were served before the Spa experience begins. Mr. Francis Simsim let us experience the solemn aura of BlueWater Spa’s Common Rooms and Sauna.

Lace of Style and Relax

It was actually my first time to have a foot massage, and BlueWater Day Spa did not fail to satisfy my first time!!

Nicely and Edelweiza

After the tour, blogger becomes excited to feel what is it like to have a triple relaxation (Foot Massage + Back Massage + Movie). Their massage therapist entered the Theater, lined up and introduced their selves to us. Their uniform above all health services is unique, they look like a flight stewardess!

A nurse like me suffers a lot in leg discomfort because of 8 hours of standing position in the hospital. This why Foot Spa with back massage is my favorite treatment at BlueWater Spa. Of course with Movie Theater! Their foot massage which is approximately 30 minutes will give you an instant hours of sleep! For as low as Php550, the feeling of rejuvenation will met. Bye bye leg discomfort.

Look how sexy Mr. Francis Simsim standing, he's the product of BlueWater Day Spa

Massage is so far the best treatment for insomnia. Sleeping pills costs a lot! Why buy sleeping pills if you could afford the very natural way, massage! BlueWater Day Spa is best for you.

After the feeling of rejuvenation, I wonder what if I’ll tell my friends about this? Like me, my friends are also nurses. I’ll absolutely make them salivate how was my experience in BlueWater Spa Treatment that completely relaxed my legs and feet.

I experience BlueWater Spa for free, so I’ll treat my friends in BlueWater Spa too, for free! They’ll go for it because we’ve never been bonded before in a Spa treatment!!

A big thanks to Tech Filipino and BlueWater Day Spa!

With the world watching…

I trust Clear, dandruff never comes back.

Shoot into the Clear Black Night’s Halloween party! It was already 8 when we entered the event in Taste Asia and whoa, so many gorgeous men around! So here’s my Clear Black Night experience. Before that, I wanna tell you how Clear works onto my hair.

I registered in Clear Black Night Google spreadsheet that was available in Miss Aileen’s blog. Three days after, I got a Clear Package with free Clear Shampoo and the smell, ooh so fragrant like a jelly you wanna eat.

I did not hesitate to try it, and holla, while in the bath, I feel the coolness of the Clear shampoo. So why not try it everyday?

I love wearing black, I wear black every event I am attending. Of course I’m afraid that there will be flakes on my shoulder if ever I will mingle around ’cause I am the always craziest person in the event I am attending. But trying Clear Shampoo boost my confidence more and I love black more.

Yeah, this was my first Halloween party event and I’m glad Clear did not fail to make me dance all night long without feeling a messy feeling with my hair. ROCK!

Bloggers are now ready to party?! Yeah! Have some Rum Coke before that. Hahahaa!

LA’s already drunk?!

Now playing, DJ Anne Barcelona.

Sneak peak on the dance floor. Will gonna run wild later!

Clear Crystal balls on your top, ready to hypnotize.

Gotcha Clear on the Wall!

Smelling the Clear candle fragrance….

And it’s parteeh time!

Blogger’s pet Patatas and Sago also joined the Clear Black Night.

Fabolous! Miss Earth Candidates were there! They were all gorgeous and nice. I think they suppose to dance but, cameras attacked them.

Miss Earth Candidates entered the dance floor.
