Mayhem at the launch of the newest Axe fragrances

Mayhem at the launch of the newest Axe fragrances! Axe, the #1 male fragrance brand in the world, made the wildest fantasies of one hundred very lucky guys come true at the launch of its newest fragrance – Axe Anarchy.  

The event was called The Axe Anarchy Raid. At the The Axe Anarchy Raid they let loose the sexiest women in the country on a gang of helpless, handcuffed guys in a steamy game of tag.  And as if drop-dead gorgeous female celebrities and models weren’t enough, Axe made the game even more outrageous by offering a two million-peso reward to the winning pair.  Crazy?  You bet. 

“This is the first and maybe the only time that Axe is coming out with matching his and hers fragrances,” says Axe brand manager Raf Hechanova.  “So we thought we would launch Axe Anarchy with the wildest, most insane idea we could think of.”


The Axe Anarchy Raid gets one hundred of the hottest girls in the country – the likes of Sam Pinto, Ellen Adarna, Iwa Moto, Jacq Yu, Regine Angeles, Nina Jose, Megan Young, Nadine Samonte, Sarah Lahbati, and many more – to search for a their match among one hundred lucky guys. 

The prize?  A cool two million pesos for the first pair to rendezvous – one million for the cop and another million for her robber.  Sounds easy?  Well, there’s a catch.  The girls had to look under the guys’ shirts and do a bit of frisking to find their match.


“We pretty much went overboard with this one,” adds Axe brand manager Gem Laforteza.  “Things just kinda’ got out of hand.” 


The game started with a loud police siren that released the Robbers (the guys) from their holding area.  It looked more like a jail break than a robbery.  One hundred guys – among them the Boys Night Out, RX 93.1 DJ Gino Quillamor, GMA Leading Man Rocco Nacino, and Victor Basa – were literally tripping over each other in a mad rush to get to the other side of the field where the girls were. 

But before the Robbers could get to the Cops, they had to squeeze through 20 beauty-queen-type girls (called “Wardens”) and 20 big bouncer-type guys (called “Marshalls”).  These beauties and beasts were tasked to keep the guys and the girls away from one another by arresting the guys and putting them back in jail.The game of tag quickly turns into patintero as the gorgeous Wardens tried to tackle guys who were literally leaping away to avoid getting caught.  Meanwhile the burly Marshalls were lifting guys off their feet to deliver them back to their holding areas.  Utter chaos.

“I totally forgot that the bouncers could put us under arrest,” narrates The Morning Rush DJ Gino Quillamor.  “I was suddenly reminded when one of them lifted me up by the shoulders.”

 As the Robbers got through to the other side, the Cops were released from their holding area and a different kind of chaos began.  Imagine playing as a Robber: You’d just be standing there letting the girls almost rip your shirt off for a glimpse of the code underneath.


“First there would only be two or three of them,” recounts one of the guys.  “But then more would come.  And before you know it, six or eight pairs of hands are on you.  All you could do was look at their faces.  Everyone was having fun.” 

In the end, two people – internet superstar Ashley Rivera (A.K.A. “Petra Mahalimuyak”) and journalist Eric Losloso – took home the millions.  But everyone went home with an experience they would never forget.  

Experience Axe’s signature brand of uncontrollable attraction with new Axe Anarchy For Him and For Her.  Anarchy For Him is a fresh mix of fruity and woody notes for a sweet but masculine fragrance.  While Anarchy For Her is a succulent mix of fruity, woody, and floral notes for a luscious and feminine fragrance.  Find out more about Axe Anarchy at www.facebook.com/AxePhilippines.

How to revert back your e-mail address on Facebook

Geez, Facebook did it again!

                                

Oh my gulay! Inday and Dodong! Facebook just removed everyone's email address from their profile and replaced it with an @facebook.com email address without asking you. Here's how to easily fix the problem.

Facebook launched its own email service back in 2010, which was promptly forgotten by everyone. This morning, Forbes noticed that they removed everyone's email addresses from their profiles, replacing them with an @facebook.com email address instead (not Facebook's internal email address which they use for notifications and password resets, just the one listed on your profile). Luckily, it's easy to get your old email address back on your profile:

Step by step guide:

• Click "About" on your profile and scroll down to your email address. Click "Edit" to change them. 
• Click on the circle next to your Facebook email address and change its setting to "Hidden From Timeline". 
• Click on the circle next to your other email addresses and change their settings to "Shown On Timeline". 
• Click the Save button at the bottom of the Edit popup (Don't forget this step).

That's all it takes. It's a really quick fix.

But it was a big jerk move for Facebook to do this without asking permission, or even telling you that it happened. 

Spread this information around so people don't get stuck without any contact information, too, lest we lose the one aspect of Facebook that was still useful.

Small-town Locals to Build “Courts of Inspiration” around Visayas & Mindanao

I am glad that more and more companies like Alaxan now supports advocacy campaigns of small town and barangays . Small-town Locals to Build “Courts of Inspiration” around Visayas & Mindanao is a very valuable project spearheaded by Alaxan.

Seeing the potential to drive social value, Alaxan FR is harnessing the power of the community through the Aray Natin, Galing Natin campaign—a collaborative effort between small-town locals to construct these symbols of community, and turn them into something that moves people to aim for greatness. 

For its initial project, Alaxan FR chose Iloilo. Other Courts of Inspiration are currently in the works in various parts of the country. These are in Bacolod, Dumaguete, Tacloban, and Cebu for Visayas; and Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Butuan, Davao, and General Santos for Mindanao.

Aray Natin, Galing Natinteam and locals of Barangay Tabuc Suba, Jaro, Iloilo come together for the groundbreaking ceremony.


Driven by the desire to provide their community with its first real basketball court, locals from barangay Tabuc Suba in Jaro District were brought together to build their own “Court of Inspiration” under the campaign.

ACNE PROACTIV SOLUTION UPGRADE

My friend Liza used to rant about unfair practices in the Philippines. You see Liza can't fathom why people treat her unfairly. Then she realized that it was because of her Acne and Acne Marks. One day she was invited to an exclusive launching party of a brand for vain women. She was told via e-mail that the invites were exclusive to only three selected guests. She was also told that she will be able to test the product and it will be provided at the end of the party and was even told to keep quiet about it.

Liza find those words funny because at the end of the party all other guests and their plus 2, got the product to try except her, she only got a shirt, one size smaller from her body type, meaning she had to undergo a rigid diet for a year before she will be able to fit in that shirt, and a few pieces of the product tie with a ribbon plus an umbrella. It is not that she's after the product but she needs to write about it thus, an actual sample for at least a month is needed so she'll be able to do justice to the write-up. If those plus one or plus two got a month long supply of the product why not her? They were not even invited unlike Liza, who was specifically invited to the event. So you see where Liza was coming from.

I told Liza that generally people are visual animals. They judge people base on outside appearance whether you accept that fact or not. That is why, it is very important to have a proper skin care regimen. I told Liza to use the Proactiv Kit. Because Proactiv is the only revolutionary product that can help her with her Acne problems. 

After a month,  Liza was so happy with the result. Proactiv had tremendously improved Liza's acne. Because she was very busy, she asked for my help to help her purchase another batch of Proactiv because she doesn't want to run put of stock of Proactiv for her skin regimen. I learned, that it was a very good timing for Liza because Proactiv has a new upgrade promo that is exclusive to its online shopping cart: http://my.proactiv.com.ph where she could upgrade her Proactiv Kit and Get a Proactiv Add-on at 50%-60% Discount!

Angelicopter vs. Rhian Ramos War on Twitter

Angelika "Angelicopter" Schmeing, former disc jockey of radio station Magic 89.9 vs. Rhian Ramos, actress-model-singer War on Twitter.

It all started with this twitter message tweeted by Angelicopter:

"Now having Bfast in a nice hotel & front desk thought i was Kristine H & Rhian R. I said "thanks. I'm not. Khristine & I have babies," she posted on her twitter account last Friday, June 22, 2012.

Angelicopter's tweet didn't sit well with Rhian Ramos, who, only last year, had to parry accusations that she had an abortion, no thanks to Youtube videos uploaded by still unidentified individuals showing former boyfriend Mo Twister wailing about her having supposedly undergone the procedure.

The usually reserved Ramos retorted with a wry tweet, "nyek kailan naman kami ni Kristine pumangit, tumaba at nagpalagay ng silicone ng ganyan?" seemingly alluding to Schmeing, who was a poster girl for Vicki Belo's mammoplasty methods, having had breast augmentation.

To which TheAnglelicopter's reply:

Apparently, Mo Twister saw @TheAnglelicopter's tweets to @cybellise (the two girls were talking about @whianwamos' tweets). Since he wasn't aware of @whianwams' tweets, he asked @TheAnglelicopter:

Obviously already updated, Twister, who is currently in New York, tweeted a little later, "Just ignore her tweet. No big deal. Pls dont tweet or dare her for truth."

 

 

Not surprisingly, Angelicopter Schmeing, who is rumored to be dating the controversial radio and TV host , ignored the seeming insult and did as instructed, stopping her tirades against Ramos but not before posting a dig of sorts: "Masarap matulog ng malinis konsensiya."

@TheAnglelicopter stopped attacking @whianwamos, but replied to another Twitter follower:

 

Suddenly, @whianwamos apologized to @TheAnglelicopter: who is now reportedly dating Mo Twister's ex-best friend KC Montero, sent a direct message to Angelicopter Schmieng saying, "I wanna apologize for even making patol, I myself fueled this thing that didn't even need to happen. Best of luck to you."

Asked by a follower why she had to apologize to Schmeing, Ramos retorted, "wala, i know i didnt start it but it wasnt classy of me to reply. also i was embarrassed that my followers had to see me angry."

Not that Schmeing even cared. Angelicopter has yet to allow the actress the courtesy of a reply.

You could note that Angelicopter Schmeing was noticed a few years ago when she started sharing seeming bedroom anecdotes on air during question & answer's with Mo Twister, which led to her earning the moniker "Angelicopter." It was Mo Twister who asked her to pinch-hit for Magic DJ Grace Lee after Grace was injured in an accident.

The turn of luck allowed for Angelicopter Schmeing to start a career not only as DJ but as model and as contestant on "Survivor Philippines." Coincidentally, it was an altercation with Grace Lee early this year that is said to have gotten Schmeing booted out of the station though Magic 89.9 has already denied it citing vague reasons for the dismissal.
