by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 13th, 2013
After a day's hard work or a weekend's long run, wouldn't it be nice to just sit back relax and have someone massage those tight muscles for you? Mmm.... I can just imagine it now. Doesn't that feel good? Makes me want to go visit the spa again all of a sudden! Don't you? - Last week, just right after running a short 10km at the Condura Skyway Marathon, I got to visit the newly opened Mont Albo Spa in Makati.

by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 7th, 2013
Last week, some running bloggers including myself were invited to try out the new Nike Flyknit Luna 1! We ran around 1 kilometer around BGC to give these babies a little test drive. So what did I think about it? Hmm… let’s see. I’ve been a huge fan of NIKE ever since. My first running shoes were a pair of Nike.

Safe Magnetic Boards for the Preschool Classroom
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 2nd, 2013
We preschool teachers have a lot on our plate and it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of things. We need to give out home works, prepare lesson plans, give out memos, prepare for events, etc. A cork board in the classroom is really becoming a necessity!

My bro...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Ma Maison: A Fusion of Western and Japanese Food
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 20th, 2013
I love to eat, (that’s probably why I eventually loved running) and two of my favorite styles are Japanese and Western. Korean and Vietnamese are slowly making my top list too. Anyway, I love Japanese for their sushi and simply how fresh everything seems. The meat is so tender and the sauces are just right. On the other hand, I love American food for its exaggeration of flavors! I love salty food, I love burgers and I definitely love steak! So ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

ABS-CBN “Gift-Together” Project: Bringing Families Closer this Christmas
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 20th, 2012
Christmas is one of the best times of the year. It's actually my personal favorite. I don't know how to explain it, or what kind of atoms and molecules are in the air as the "ber" months approach, but Christmas makes us feel and do weird things. It makes us feel warm and cuddly, it makes us feel generous and happy, most of all, it makes us feel and remember the people we love. Christmas is a time to love. When I think of Christmas, I...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
