shown that stress is commonly caused by interrelationships, such as having to

attest to that. It’s like always autumnal equinox whenever we experience
chronic hair fall, most especially at the prime of stress. At its peak, our

which is called <i>telogen effluvium</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of jargons that mostly are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A good example of which are the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the people’s health. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary action that is intended by the physician giving drug prescription. The doctor, likewise, foresees this extra consequence. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, the patient might not be conscious of the side effect of unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body while using vasodilator drug called Minoxidil to treat hypertension. The physician, nevertheless, is very well aware about it, as well as other implications, such as burning or irritation of the eye, itching, and redness or irritation at the treated area. By and large, doctors suggest that patients should ignore the side effects unless serious and often alert the sick persons about their likelihood. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But not all the side effects are boon. They are bane, too, hence, they are often used as a therapeutic benefit in the pharmaceutical industry. Like the Minoxidil which, initially was developed to treat high blood pressure. People taking it reported an unusual side effect: Hair began to grow on various parts of their bodies. In this case, the downside of the drug is controlled and employed for a beneficial and therapeutic effect judiciously. It is noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription of two percent (2%) Minoxidil topical solution for hair loss in men in 1988 and for women in 1992.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An adverse effect, on the other hand, is identified as an outcome wherein the reaction occurs over and beyond the main and wanted action of a medicine. Both the physician and the patient don’t know about it as a consequence of taking such treatment. It can happen simply due to incorrect dosage. Undesirably, this is very harmful as it can exacerbate the prognosis of the disease. Occasionally, if the adverse effect is too serious, there might be a need for hospitalization.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like the Sildenafil Citrate— a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness and rash. Patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts over four hours. Patients should stop Sildenafil Citrate and seek medical care if a sudden decrease or loss of hearing and also that of vision in one or both eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since side effects paired with adverse effects can be fatal and need to be reversed or given antidote immediately, a very extra cautious effort not to interchange them with the main effects in the prescription process must be always observed. After all, it’s the lives of patients at stake here. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s ironic to note that people who seek treatments for their ailments or to prolong their lives become sicker or morbidly end up six feet underground simply because of such medical error. So, it’s still best to deal with health conditions like hair loss the natural way, especially with NOVUHAIR that offers the safe and natural effects. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With 19 natural ingredients—mostly standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients—it does not only help prevent the hair loss malady, but also aid in stimulating growth of the “crowning glory.” Set aside those chemical-based topical scalp solutions out there. Choose natural, choose NOVUHAR!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kabayan Hotel is a three-star hotel situated in the heart of Pasay City. Its strategic location beside the MRT and near the airport district has made it a viable place for backpackers, travelers, or those looking for an affordable and decent place to stay in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hotel was founded by Wyden King, a businessman who saw the need for more places for transients and travellers. Using his resources from his previous venture in the Anito group, he divested his resources into businesses such as this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hotel was in the center of one of Pasay's busiest districts. It was near bus terminals, the MRT, and Mall of Asia. It is also near educational institutions and business districts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our stay revolved around testing their new Kapsule Rooms. This was composed of dorm style rooms which can fit 8 people. The beds are arranged into sleeper style setups. The pictures will tell you more.</div>

These were the Kapsules. These were a primarily Japanese invention which made its way to the Philippines. These Fiberglass compartments are made for sleeping. These are usually big enough for some seating room. In this case, there were two Kapsules stacked atop each other per column. Each room had about 8 Kapsules</div>

Casamigos Cantina is a Mexican themed restaurant situated in Marikina. Since its inception last year, it started to gain a following in the surrounding areas and places such as Pasig and Antipolo. According to the owners, the restaurant was conceptualized from their desire to run their own business. One of the partners crafted the menu from his extensive culinary experience aboard a cruise line. </div>

The Macho Platter at Php 699 was their flagship group dish. It was a hefty combination of Nachos, Pork Ribs, Spicy Sausage, and Quesadillas. It can easily feed a group of 4. The ribs were adequately cooked with a sweet barbecue sauce. The sausage was well done and tender. The quesadillas were scanty yet delicious. Lastly, the nachos had an excellent packing of toppings. </div>

Chicken Chimichangas were at Php 165. It was a helping of Mexican rice, chicken strips, and vegetables inside a crispy wrapper. I only lament the fact that there was not enough chicken inside. That aside, the rice had good, tangy flavor. It even blended well with the cheese.</div>

I had quite a night tasting several variants of whiskey at Yes Please, one of the Fort's newest bars. For this event, we had several premium blends from Auchentoshan, a classic Scottish blended whiskey. The brand has existed for hundreds of years now since the 19th century.</div>

My last visit to the Yard, Katipunan was for the event sponsored by Andy Player, a newly launched cola and whiskey mix. The recipe was made from the original blend of the Great American Distillery, USA; and distributed by Emperador Distillers Inc., the flagship brand of tycoon Andrew Tan.<br />
<br />
This new drink was a delightful and sweet blend of two well-known drinks combined into a hard drink that's too irresistible to put down. The whiskey was a full-bodied drink with a thick texture. The cola was also of an exquisite quality.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, Andy Player is also great with food, as seen in the pictures:<br />

I tried Andy Player as an accompaniment to the cheese-filled dishes of one of the concessionaires. Their Philly Cheese steak sandwiches have the right amount of meatiness that goes well with the sweet flavor of Andy Player.</div>

Andy Player, while being a new player in the market, has already caught my attention. Its composition of excellent ingredients, sharp taste, and youthful vibe has made it a winning combo for millennials like me. I must say though, that a bottle didn't have a strong alcohol mix; hence one can down a few bottles for an occasion such as a party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our gratitude to Ms. Dorothy Colle and her people from the Department of Tourism Provincial Division Region V – Albay, Ms. Che Rebeta of the Provincial Agriculture Department and Ms. Farah Sobremisana – owner partner of Pepperland Hotel.

Albay is filled with old churches, old craft making, worthy places to go to, old houses, natural beauties and beautiful festivities. With magnificent places around the majestic Mayon Volcano, if you do a whole 360 tour like the one we did ours, one would get to see this natural wonder in all its beauty. Try to learn also the story behind this famous volcano and and unconver the Daragang Magayon mystery.</div>

From the ruins of Cagsawa (with a average guest of 150pax per day) to the churches in Camalig, Ligao, Sto. Domingo and Daraga, to the calm Sumlang Lake and the historic Japanese caves in Quituinan Hills, to the traditional way of metal smiting in Tabaco, farms and various beautiful parks and landmarks all over Albay, you will never have a dull moment when you decide to do a full exploration of the province. It is also filled of noteworthy food places that you could and should try out (story and review in another write-up). Albay also has spring resorts with water source coming from near the volcano or underneath the ground making it cool or even cold depending on the time of the year – such resort is D’ Hacienda Spring and Nature Resort in Guinobatan, Albay.</div>

For active people, I would highly recommend for you to try out the Japanese tunnels/caves in Quituinan Hills. The trek is not that stressful but the crawling (should you be adventurous enough) is like having an archaeological dig. For historical buffs, try seeing the various churches of the different municipalities and compare notes in terms of its style and story behind it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Should you wish to see various craftsmanship of the place, go to Sumlang Lake to see the woven beauties of Albay, the metal smiting of Tabaco, pottery shops in Tiwi and pili delicacy making in Legazpi. Don’t forget to visit the various farms in the province that show the resiliency of the people as reflected in their farms – some of them are IG worthy too. Experience Albay and, you get to see this natural beauty in all its grandeur. With clouds or without, Mayon will surely captivate you may it be morning, noon, mid afternoon or sunset. With its romantic yet tragic story behind this beauty, you will definitely want to be welcomed by it every time you are in the said province. Albay is truly beautiful! The people reflect their place and the place live through its people.</div>

After All got its name from Peter Ceterra's hit single. It was started by a group of friends who graduated from the Asian Institute of Management. All of them have come from distinguished careers. They decided to open a bar just last month with a menu including their personal specialties.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After being open for a month, the bar already has its own set of patrons and regular customers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bar is located in the first floor of SM Jazz Makati. It was pretty strategic since it was the only bar in the immediate vicinity. Plus, the condo residents can have a nightcap there every once in a while.</div>

Their Banana Colada was composed of rum, bananas, and coconut milk. It tasted like the good old pina colada, albeit with bananas. One can only grasp of faint taste of the alcohol. Which, for one, made me drink the entire glass with ease. This was a truly fine pre-game drink. </div>

VC Cafe is one of Makati's newest hubs for coffee, relaxation, and great food. The place has very ambient interiors and is a great place to unwind in. The interiors are well lit and pleasing to the eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Furthermore, the staff are friendly and courteous. My visit to the place was part of their opening ceremonies last month. Under the auspices of PR Director Ms. Bambi Flores, I was able to get an experience of the place.</div>

VC stands for venture capital. The founders chose the name because it expressed their sentiment to make the place accessible for venture capitalists and budding entrepreneurs. </div>

We were served with a helping of their classy street food dishes. This one is the BBSM or Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas, at Mangga. It cost Php 290. The Pork was sauteed with Bagoong (dried shrimp sauce), tomatoes, chili, and garlic. A pungent and tasty flavor emanated from it due to the presence of the Bagoong. It paired well with the unripe mangoes and its sour flavor.</div>

Our foray into sour and spicy territory was cut short by another offering from their street food menu. This was the Cheese Fondue with Puto Calasiao. It was the classic puto dish save for its unconventional sauce: a mix of expensive cheeses melted into a fondue. This rich, sweet dish truly balanced out the spicy flavors we had earlier. The Php 545 price tag was quite steep though.</div>

Waterside at Solaire in Pasay City is an exemplary dining experience I have recently tried. The blend of elegance, sophistication, and class in the furniture and ambience was very evident. Moreover, the food never failed to meet my expectations of this posh, upscale place. The name came from the resto's proximity to the pool side. </div>

The decor and interiors had the best of post-modern and art deco motifs, as well as a dim-lit dining area coupled with a vibrant bar. The food was a carefully selected sampling of Latin American Dishes configured to attract the Asian palate. </div>

Its core had a cheesy and creamy filling.</div>

The exhibit itself posed a number of questions to the viewers. One of these is the essence and nature of conflict. According to Ms. Manahan, this depicted her own personal faith. She placed these questions to help the viewer create an introspective look on themselves; as well as ponder their direction in life. </div>

During our foray into the Yard Underground, a famous food park in Pasig City, we spotted Halal Kebab, a Persian attraction. According to its representative, the stall was an offshoot of one of its full sized restaurants in Katipunan, Quezon City. They got the recipies from a Persian expat friend who worked in the Philippines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This joint has a number of specialties made with Halal ingredients, meaning those without pork or other food items prohibited in Islam. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once we tried out their dishes, I figured that their offerings surely spell value for money and good quality. Here are some of their specialties.</div>

Chelo Kabab Kubideh at Php 189. This was composed of a generous serving of beef ground then formed into a sausage-like shape and served with Persian rice, chips, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot sauce, and garlic mayo. The taste was quite rich and flavorful due to the melange of ingredients in the mix.</div>

Chicken Morgh Kubideh at Php 189 was a bit more lacking in taste than the Beef Kebab; but it was quite filling due to the sheer number of servings and ingredients. I liked the fact that it tasted well with the hot sauce. </div>

Breaded Chicken was by far the most enjoyable dish. It was composed of thin breaded chicken strips which were topped with thick, creamy gravy. It came with the Persian rice. Every bite was crisp and tangy due to peppered texture of the chicken skin.</div>

Baclaran is commonly known for its vast expanse of retail clothing stores. However, it also boasts of one of its newest notable attractions: Yokocho, meaning "side of the road". This well-kept gem is a vast expanse of 10 restaurants in a food court serving various Japanese specialties, totaling 40 percent of mainstream Japanese cuisine. Under the auspices of Ms. Cindy Dominguez and Ms. Bambi Flores, I was able to try out this new joint!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place was situated in the 3rd floor of Victory Food Mall, Baclaran. The entire space was dedicated to making quality Japanese food at highly affordable prices. Upon arriving, I was enthralled at the effort the owners took at decorating the place to make it look like a legit Japanese village. There were lots of banners and lanterns in Japanese. Also, the decor, tables, and the stalls were made out of wood. Some of the owners of the stalls were Japanese, for that authentic taste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place is right beside Baclaran church. This is truly strategic for the foodcourt since a lot of people go to the iconic church throughout the week. It can truly cater to more than 250 diners at any given time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prices were very reasonable for a Japanese restaurant. A lot of the ingredients are sourced from Japan; however, some ingredients were appropriated from local sources since these were cheaper and were akin to the taste and quality of authentic Japanese dishes.</div>

I must say that every bite had a sweet creamy taste by the winning combination of mangoes and cheesecake. </div>

My second visit to Millie's was in their Technohub branch. This time around, I was just in time for their Holy Week and summer menu. Millie's is named after the mother of Microtel's president, who has an extensive experience in the hotel industry. This restaurant has its 3rd branch in the Philippines, with its other branches near Mall of Asia and Batangas. The Techohub branch is the biggest of them all with an indoor and outdoor seating area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The restaurant specialized in home-cooked favorites, unlike anything other hotels have served. Their penchant for simple, homey cooking truly caught my attention.</div>

This disconnect will truly manifest in the lifestyle of Filipinos.

However, its roots lay in Kapitolyo, a common ground for food start-ups. According to their chef, Mad Mark's was conceptualized without a definite plan and a menu in its first iteration.

Absolute Mocha Java Milkshake P170 and Caramel Round White Milkshake P160 were some of the restaurant's specialty desserts. The Java Milkshake was a delectable coffee tasting drink that was pretty creamy and full-bodied at the same time. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Their other notable desserts were the ice cream selections. We tried out the Sumatra Arabica Ice Cream P110. It had a strong coffee flavor due to the presence of Arabica beans in the mix.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Javan Hot Chocolate Ice Cream P110 and the Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream P110 were of the milder varieties. The former had a chocolate flavor while the latter was mostly made of vanila with a few chocolate bits. I liked the fact that these variants were homemade out of their special ingredients. </span></div>
