The Health Giving Property of Aquabest
Aquabest, the country’s leading water refilling franchise has launched its "Nanogen" nanotechnology water filtration system and "purity" test on June 14, 2014 at Grills and Sizzles QC. The company is a long time member of the Philippine Franchise Association and is considered to be among the leading players in the water franchising industry.
Drinking water helps cleanse and revitalize the body sweeping away toxins and impurities in the body. Water also helps keep our energy and alertness levels up all day. Overall, drinking lots of water can lead to greater personal wellness and well-being. However, not all water is the same some are better than others.
Aquabest Granderized water in particular is radically different from other types of drinking water being not only clean but also healthy. Utilizing four unique technologies Grander, Tanwing, Nanogen, and Reverse Osmosis; Aquabest alters the very nature of water to make it better.
Tanwing Technology and Reverse Osmosis are filtration technologies that help eliminate practically all contaminants in the water making them safe and clean. Tanwing works by utilizing two wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation to help eliminate all biological contaminants. At the same time, reverse osmosis filters water at the nanometer level far smaller than a strand of hair to ensure that all impurities are filtered out.
The Nanogen and Grander Technologies work at the molecular level to infuse health giving properties to the water by affecting the molecular structure of the water. Nanogen is a Korean technology that utilizes nanotechnology to neutralize pure water’s inherent acidity. Acidic water is supposed to be a contributing factor to some diseases. Grander Technology from Austria alters the molecular structure of water to improve body absorption.
Normal water molecules are large and irregularly shaped. This causes uneven rates of absorption into the body making it inefficient and disorganized. With Grander Technology the water molecules are compressed and given a uniform shape. This facilitates faster and more efficient absorption into the body.
Overall, Aquabest Granderized Water improves on the inherent cleansing and rejuvenating qualities of water. Each drop reaches deeper into the core of every cell in our bodies allowing them to perform their functions better. Drinking Aquabest Granderized Water will rejuvenate the body at its very core helping people look and feel better.
Apart from its new technology, the company is also looking to continue its expansion particularly in rural areas which have the potential to drive the company’s growth “We are looking at the possibility further expanding in provincial areas particularly for our sub brands Aquaquest and Aquaspree since these concepts are better suited to penetrate these emerging markets” says Carson Tan CEO of GQWEST Inc. the mother company of Aquabest.
Meet the "It" Bag Herve Chapelier
Fashion Meets Function at Hervé Chapelier’s Latest Collection
I have seen Herve Chapelier tote bags in Hongkong, and learned that it has opened its first store at SM Aura last February 2014. I love the bag since it has similarity to Longchamp, when it comes to its handles and boxy in appearance. I love that it has big space inside, practical enough to carry my notebook, make up kit, umbrella, vitamins, shades, reading glass, ipod player, tablet, wallet, purse, comb and a book. My life revolves around my bags and I love toting them around. Not to mention that it is an "It" bag for the season, at least to me.
Herve Chapelier launched the tote bags with collaborations from Filipino artists Niccolo Jose, Mayi Penaflorida, Soleil Ignacio, Kris Abrigo, Aiya Balingit and Tokwa Penaflorida, having reinterpreted some of the influential best paintings and designs on the bag on June 16, 2014.
Credited around the toting world for innovating a handful of firsts, French luxury bag and luggage brand Hervé Chapelier pushes the envelope yet again with its iconic collection, which features a bit of combative edge, a hint of urban function, and a dose of modern mobility, without compromising its veritable stamp of ladylike Parisian substance.
Founded in 1976 by its namesake design stalwart, the Hervé Chapelier label revolutionized the duffel bag, an invention that featured industrial standard, automotive safety belts repurposed as straps for roomy, function-savvy bags, jump starting the brand’s dominance for cutting-edge, contemporary, yet classy ladies’ carry-alls in the industry. Since then, Chapelier introduced more trendsetting silhouettes, such as the Cabas, the brand’s quintessentially French take on the traditional shopper, as well as the GP the brand’s high-end line, which took color and texture blocked toting to a whole new shape and proportion.
For its current season, Hervé Chapelier unveils a bolder, braver collection that is especially attuned with the times, answering to the dynamic shifts in lifestyle, careers, and social habits of today’s women. With a firm grip on functionality and fashionable aesthetics, Hervé Chapelier’slatest collection celebrates the luxury of the fast-paced with totes, carry-alls, and bags that keep up with today’s tempo while marching on a look all its own.
First, Hervé Chapelier unleashes an army of camo-print totes that take on the military trend spot-on; becoming the modern woman’s ultimate bagging uniform. Found in a variety of shapes and make, Chapelier’s version of the battle-tested season style can be had in basic nylon, the toughest, most lightweight material in bagging industry-standards, or the Cordura, crafted off breathable polyamide. These materials borrow on military precision for shape and function, with silhouettes such as the traditional bucket, the prismic rectangular, all in a variety of sizes, Hervé Chapelier offers up a match for any of the modern female’s varying missions.
On the other end of the spectrum, Hervé Chapelier also embraces the season’s command for resort-ready totes, borrowing key palettes and contrasts from the sea. With nautical influences found in the hues of coral pink, navy blue, tan, turquoise, cobalt, and sand, Hervé Chapelier’stwo-toned GP hand-carry luggage could be this season’s suiting company for sea-borne, travel-bound ladies.
And finally, for the sophisticated women who value the classics,Hervé Chapelier’s Nylon and Cordura lines could also be had in the timeless, neutral shades of black, grays, and blues, with a burst of berry for that twist of excitement and fun. These carry-alls become the perfect compliment for the corporate wardrobe, with its roomy function, handy compartments, and sturdy structure, any working woman can be sure to carry through her daily agenda with stylish success.
With its French-fashioned style and fast-paced feminine sensibilities,Hervé Chapelier’s take on luxury toting transcends the values of mere fine-quality materials and craftsmanship; its commitment to modern-day function makes it a priceless addition to any woman’s wardrobe.
Hervé Chapelier ‘s first ever boutique in Southeast Asia can be found at L1, SM Aura Premier, Manila Philippines.

Michael Bay is back with "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "Ninja Turtles"
MICHAEL BAY, BACK WITH NEW “TRANSFORMERS,” "NINJA TURTLES" MOVIES
Summer is the season of Michael Bay.
As much as anyone else, Bay — in movies like "Armageddon," ''Pearl Harbor" and "Transformers" — has shaped what the summer movie is: its quick-cutting bombast, its visual-effects flourish, its capacity for mass destruction.
This summer, he'll release "Transformers: Age of Extinction," the fourth film in the franchise, with a revamped cast led by Mark Wahlberg. The 49-year-old Bay, who also produces "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" later in the season, is well acquainted with the scale of the modern blockbuster.
"I've been doing these movies a long time," said Bay in a recent break from the editing suite. "When all is said and done maybe 3,500 people will have worked on this movie. It's one day at a time. You can't panic. My pep talk to everyone is: This is when the pro (expletive) starts and separates the men from the boys."
"Age of Extinction" subs out the sometimes combative Shia LaBeouf with an older, more established action star in Wahlberg. It's planned as the first of a redesigned "Transformers" trilogy.
Bay and Wahlberg first connected on last year's comic crime caper "Pain & Gain," a relatively low-budget project for Bay and one of his most critically acclaimed films.
Wahlberg has already vowed that "Age of Extinction" will be the biggest movie of the year. While optimistic, it's not out of the question. The last "Transformers" film, 2011's "Dark of the Moon," made more than $1.1 billion worldwide.
"It feels fresher with the cast," says Bay. "It's like when you get the new 'Batman' franchises, things get dressed up in a different way. I think the franchise still has a lot more to offer."
The Paramount Pictures release will also have a leg up on the box office in China. "Age of Extinction" is a co-production with two Chinese film companies. A month of shooting took place there, and several Chinese actors were cast through a televised reality show talent search.
Such is the global natural of the big-budget summer movie, a sprawling operation that takes a unique acuity to assemble.
"I don't write notes," says Bay. "I put the movie in my head."
"Transformers: Age of Extinction” opens across the Philippines on June 25, to be followed by “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” on August 13. Both films are distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.

ADAM LEVINE MAKES FILM DEBUT IN "BEGIN AGAIN"
Although he’s no stranger to the camera, having been a coach on the NBC show “The Voice” for several seasons, and making his small screen acting debut on the hit FX Drama “American Horror Story,” music star ADAM LEVINE has never tried dramatic acting until he was approached by John Carney to be part of the upcoming movie “Begin Again.”
“I was honored just to be asked, and right off the bat I fell in love with the script. To have John believe in me is really exciting,” says Levine. “John saw something in me that was this character Dave– whether that is flattering or not, I can’t tell, but I would not have considered doing a film unless I was really connected to the material. I love John’s tone – he is a musician, and I think his sensibilities are those of a musician so we get along famously.”
The latest film from writer-director John Carney (ONCE), BEGIN AGAIN is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together.
“The music was easy,” admits Levine after shooting. “That’s kind of my wheelhouse, I guess, but the acting has been quite a challenge in a really great way. The only thing people said to me was ‘know your lines’ and ‘don’t act, just listen and react,’ and that was great advice. I’ve also found that being comfortable and receptive to direction makes it a lot easier. It was daunting going into this new world, but everyone was so sweet and made me feel comfortable and at home, so I felt like I was doing my best even though I had relatively little experience.”
As the front man of Grammy Award-winning recording artist Maroon 5, Adam Levine has left an indelible mark on popular music. Levine has also collaborated with various musical acts including Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Natasha Bedingfield, Slash and K'naan. Levine has also made several appearances on television, including “Saturday Night Live,” “30 Rock,” “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and Comedy Central's “Night of Too Many Stars.”
BEGIN AGAIN also stars Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Hailee Steinfeld, and Levine’s fellow judge from The Voice, CeeLo Green.
Produced by Anthony Bregman at Likely Story, Tobin Armbrust of Exclusive Media and Judd Apatow at Apatow Productions, BEGIN AGAIN opens on July 9, 2014 in theaters nationwide and is distributed locally by SOLAR PICTURES.
