It's time to get healthy with soyami!

Foods are very helpful in relieving stress. I eat a lot of foods when I'm in stress especially junk foods that full of bad nutrients that can affect our health. Junk foods contain a little or no nutritional value. Some junk foods have nutritional value, but it have ingredients that considered unhealthy when regularly eaten. I am guilty that I eat a lot of junk foods because it helps me reduce my stress in everyday work. Until a friend (MC) introduced their product to me, the soyami soya chips!


According to wikipedia, Soy is a species of legume native in East-Asia, widely grown for its bean that have many uses.


 Did you know that:

The English word "soy" is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of shōyu (醤油, しょうゆ^?), the Japanese word for soya sauce; "soya" comes from the Dutch adaptation of the same word.

Some major benefits of soy or products with soy as ingridients:

• Reduces heart disease (soy protein reduces LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in our hearts)
• Healthy bones (soy is naturally high in calcium)
• Cancer prevention (prostate and breast cancer)

Oh, back in the Soyami soya chips. I find myself buying at the SM San Lazaro Supermarket (for other distributors, click here). I bought 2 flavors, the White Cheddar and the Pizza (planned to bought 3 but the Original flavor was not available on that time). 


I ate the Pizza at the house and the white cheddar at the office. My personal choice? I prefer the White Cheddar flavor!  It taste so good that I even forgot to share it to my officemates! =p Good thing with this snack (I may not call it junk food) is the nutritional values it offer. It is made with real soya, no MSG, High in protein, calcium and 0% transfat! You can't expect this in an ordinary junk food! Just one thing that concerns me is the pizza flavor, it has an ingredient of Red 40 (food dye/coloring, a red pigment included into food and cosmetics that comes in both natural and artificial forms.). Some studies shows that it causes ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) but there was no really strong proof that it came from the food coloring so this ingredient was still widely used in the market (maybe I'm just biased at the white cheddar :D).


By the way, the three flavors have different nutritional value. So, it's your choice on what will be your favorite flavor.

To wrap it up, you can forget your good old junk foods and make way to your healthy lifestyle while letting your self enjoying the healthy snack and stress-free. No more cheat days with the help of AM Soyami! Buy the soyami soya chips and you will experience eating without a guilt!

Remembering 10.10.10

Exactly one year ago, the Philippines has broken a world record as the largest number of participants in a foot race after 116,000 runners joined the historic 10.10.10, a fun run for a cause to save the Pasig River.
Masasabi kong part ako ng history na ito dahil isa ako logistics team ng event. Marami kaming meetings and trainings na ginawa for this event.  The hardships of planning how can we assist well the 100 thousand plus people to place their bags in our behalf from the starting point and transfer it into the finish line. Even though we did not participated at the run (but I can say that we (Marel, JM, Mike and I) join the run as our bus left us in the Star City, so we decided to jog/walk to MOA.), I'm very honored that I helped the pasig river in every way as I can. 



October 10, 2010, Sunday, 1 in the morning, We gather at our office in Times Plaza. We have some time to prepare for the event as we will go to our designated place at 2 am. We have some chit chats and make most of the time talking on how the event will go.

At around 2:15am, we arrived at the Star City parking (starting point of the 5km category). We started rolling our boots to get the job done (and take some pictures too!).

Madilim pa lang, marami ng runners ang dumadating at handa ng sumabak sa 10-10-10 Takbo para sa Ilog Pasig. Excited ang lahat, syempre pati kami na handang magbigay ng tulong sa mga runners. As early as 3:30 am, marami na din nagpapalagay ng kanilang mga bags para makapaghanda sila sa pagtakbo. Around 530AM, we close our booth to have time for the transfer of the bags to MOA and to avoid the huge crowd of runners.

Unfortunately, as we are heading to our bus that will en-route us to MOA (finish line), we found out that the bus was not there! We decided to take a ride with the trucks that carries the cartons full of bags. But not all can't make a ride to the trucks as other marshalls have to ride into it. So a small group including me decided to take the challenge to run/jog and make past to all runners because we need to set up the cartons before they come up.


Luckily, we do not encounter any major problems on our side. All the bags that we get were claimed (not sure in other  booths though).  No accidents. It was clean, peaceful and fun run.


"We did it - 116,000, the world record is 110,000, and we did it because everyone worked together," - Gina Lopez, managing director, ABS-CBN Foundation.

IST 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River Team

And so, as we wrap up the day. Our bosses treat us at Bigby's MOA for lunch! That was such a great event! World record was just a bonus because the main thing here is we have again a high hopes that our very own Pasig River will come back to its own state before. Let us not forget what we're running for. We can bring back the Old Manila. The clean manila bay, pasig river, esteros etc.




All set for 11.20.2011?
