Berocca Breakfast to Keep the Brain Sharp and Witty

Vince — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:25:17 +0000

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what they don’t say is what should be part of this ever so important first meal.

I myself need to be quick on my wits and ready for whatever the day throws me. Being a radio dj / writer / host / blogger… I tend to have all sorts of important meetings and events I need to be at all day long. Bouncing around from one venue to another while trying to stay sharp and focused can be a very tricky thing to do!

I’m looking for vitamins that will help me survive my long hectic days, to be in the fast lane and out of the rat race.

Finally, a friend introduced me to Berocca! It’s like instant fuel. Furthermore, I found out that most Berocca users are CEOs, so if you want to outwit them and place yourself within their ranks, you have to have their secret – Berocca!

Berocca is like instant fuel for the mind! In today’s world, it’s those sharp minds who have the big paying positions and sit at the CEO desk!

And I did my own research, Berocca is a clinically proven combination of B vitamins and essential nutrients with a unique synergy of B vitamins (helps release the energy from the food we eat), vitamin C (colds buster) and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and zinc (which are definitely needed by the body).

Anyway, Berocca comes in a very unique format: All I had to do was drop the tablets into a glass of water and I was ready to go on with the rest of my day with an extra boost of healthy stuff!

I liked taking mine early in the morning right before work to get my head in the game. Try it out for yourself!

Best of all, you can get the complete info on how exactly Berocca helps you perform better and why it gives you a boost by checking out their website here – http://www.berocca.com

6 Week Challenge Results! Did my filthy dirty mouth get cleaner?

Vince — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 11:21:33 +0000

I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical about how much one product could really do for my filthy dirty mouth.

Six weeks ago, I was invited as one of a few bloggers to participate in this reality type challenge where we put the Listerine Total Care Mouthwash to the test.

We were asked to have our mouth and teeth evaluated before a 6-week challenge of using their Listerine Total Care Mouthwash. We had our teeth checked by the renowned dental offices of Doctor Villareal at the Bonifacio Global City’s St. Luke’s Hospital.

See that full post of Week 1 here – http://www.vincegolangco.com/how-to/6-week-challenge-to-clean-my-dirty-mouth/

Following that was a thorough weekly update of what I was doing and how I was feeling after using the Listerine Total Care Mouthwash.

Week 1 here - http://www.vincegolangco.com/how-to/6-week-challenge-to-clean-my-dirty-mouth/

Week 2 – http://www.vincegolangco.com/events/week-2-clean-my-dirty-filthy-mouth-report/

Week 3 – http://www.vincegolangco.com/cool-people/week-3-listerine-total-care-challenge-to-clean-my-dirty-mouth-report/

Week 4 – http://www.vincegolangco.com/contests/manly-balls-in-my-mouth-challenge-accepted/

Week 5 – http://www.vincegolangco.com/motivational/five-5-total-care-ways-to-prepare-for-life-relationships-dates-careers-and-your-future/

And finally, after 6 weeks, I went back to St. Luke’s Hospital to see exactly what had happened in my mouth throughout these past few weeks.

The results we unbelievable! I was in for a surprise like no other!

I was not expecting my plaque to go down 78%, my tartar to go down 91% or my gum bleeding to go down 89%!!!! The odor thing might look bad on the chart, but from the start, my odor index was actually low, at a score of 1 out of 5, meaning “there is barely any odor”.” So there really wasn’t much more to go down from from there.

The dentist even asked me if I had gotten my teeth cleaned. I told them that I didn’t and they seemed really surprised as well. They also asked if I flossed a lot, and I had to admit that I missed out on a lot of flossing because of my busy schedule.

Finally, the dentists asked if I used Listerine religiously in the past 6 weeks. I told them that I had used it at least once a day but mostly, I would used it every time after I brushed my teeth.

But even beyond the numbers, I noticed that my teeth and gums do not bleed anymore. This was something the dentists told me is actually caused by plaque and tartar building up and seeping into your gums. I originally thought bleeding gums just meant that I had “sensitive” gums, but it turns out, bleeding gums means you have dirty teeth and gums. So I’m very glad to have them nice, clean and not bleeding anymore thanks to Listerine!

Anyway, I’m a Listeriever (Listerine Believer) now! No more bleeding gums and I’ve never felt so kissable in my life!

So When In Manila, be sure to keep that filthy dirty mouth of yours clean to make sure you’re ready for any kisses that might come your way! Take the TOTAL CARE CHALLENGE yourself to be a LISTERIEVER too!

Five 5 Total Care Ways to Prepare for Life: Relationships, Dates, Careers and your Future

Vince — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 15:31:26 +0000

Throughout my short time in this world, I’ve come to find out a few things that has always gotten me through the tough times. Whenever I get too nervous, or too overwhelmed with the task at hand, I tend to look back at my past and try to figure out how I’ve overcome those other trials and hardships. I’ve come to a conclusion that there are five main things I do to help give me the strength and the confidence needed, let me share them with you.

1. SUCCESS IS PREPARATION MEETING OPPORTUNITY

One random day, in a random city, at a random building, you’ll get into an elevator with a big shot whom you really look up to but have only seen in the magazines, watched on TV or heard on radio. But now, for whatever strange coincidence, you’ll be alone in an elevator with him/her. What do you do now? Are you ready to give your elevator spiel on why you matter? Many times in life, the biggest and best opportunities come out of nowhere. You will not have any time to stop and prepare and you may miss out on these once in a lifetime occasions. Instead, you should always be preparing yourself. Figure out what you want to do in life and start preparing. You may want to be a big TV star, so start preparing your acting skills even before the audition. You may want to be a big banker, so start preparing your financial knowledge by knowing what’s going on with the economy and with the banks. You never know who you might need to impress out of the blue. Successful people are always ready whenever the time comes. Success is preparation meeting opportunity!

2. DO YOUR RESEARCH

In many events, challenges, matches or big moments in your life, you will probably have some time to properly prepare for the situation. This is where the big players gets separated from the little boys. The real winners do their research! They research everything from the venue, the audience, the background of the event, all the way to the names of the guards at the door. Someone well prepared will be much more comfortable and confident when that said event finally takes place. Little things like showing up to the event early and checking your PowerPoint presentations on the projector or knowing where the podium is or even just meeting the organizers of the event play a big role when you finally have to give that big presentation! Do your research!

3. FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT

It’s an old saying that is so much more useful when you actually implement it! Usually, before a big speech, people would pace around the backstage telling everyone in sight that they are nervous. This actually hinders your confidence and ability to do well because you are setting your mind and yourself to think that you are nervous. Instead, pretend that you aren’t. Tell yourself that you are not nervous and tell everyone else that too. If you start pretending that you’re comfortable, you might start pretending to act like a confident person and next thing you know, you actually become confident. The universe has a strange way of giving you what you ask for, make sure you’re asking it to make you confident rather than telling it to make you more nervous. Fake it til’ you make it!

4. MIND THE DETAILS

It’s all about the little details. I remember my college professor telling me that the little things matter! They matter because the little things are a reflection of how you will handle the bigger things. If you can’t be trusted with the little things, how can we trust you with the big ones. If you forget to email that document your boss told you to email, or if you misplace the copies of the lunch menu your colleagues asked you for, then when it comes down to assigning you bigger tasks, they might be a bit hesitant to ask for your service or to give you that promotion. So make sure you check all the small things. Mind the details!

5. TOTAL CARE

I use this as a metaphor for everything else like combing your hair, shining your shoes and making sure your tie is sharp! Part of having the full confidence you need is having the basic tools necessary. Always dress to impress! It’s better to dress up than to be dressed down. So keep that breath fresh! It starts not just at the moment of your big event, but from months ago. Get that suit ironed out, but that nice tie you need and start using that mouthwash for that total care you need to succeed. Confidence comes from within, it comes from what you do day in and day out. So be sure you are prepared for that big day of yours but getting ready now! Total care starts NOW!

6 Week Challenge to Clean my Dirty Mouth

Vince — Sun, 29 May 2011 15:30:54 +0000

When it comes to health, you make sure you are always in tip-top shape. From exercising regularly to eating a well-balanced diet, you give yourself total care. But when it comes to your mouth, are you sure you are keeping it totally healthy?

Its unique formulation of four LISTERINE essential oils with zinc chloride and sodium fluoride helps reduce plaque, protects healthy gums, strengthen teeth against cavities, prevent tartar build-up to keep teeth naturally white, and kill up to 99.9% of germs for long-lasting fresh breath.

Happy Even After: Free Workshop for Single Moms

Vince — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 16:43:37 +0000

Happy Even After: Free Workshop for Single Moms

There are various reasons why one becomes a single parent. The most common reasons being by chance or by deliberate choice in the case of ending a bad relationship.

But there are also other reasons one becomes a solo parent. One may have lost their partner; or are raising nieces and nephews as their own as guardians (a common occurrence here in the Philippines considering our extended families) or those whose partners are OFWs.

As different as their reasons may be, solo parents all have to deal with the daunting and difficult balancing act of being both a father and mother to a child. They all need guidance on how to cope and information on how to best raise their children under such circumstances.

Sex and Sensibilities.com, a website that aims to empower women by arming them with rights-based information will hold a workshop for solo parents on November 14.

Ana Santos, founder and editorial director of Sex and Sensibilities.com and writer Karen Kunawicz, will speak about their individual experiences on single parenting and share their insights.

Knowing that the start of feeling good is looking good, The Body Shop will also give a short demo to teach the participants how to put on make-up in the least amount of time.

This is a FREE workshop and a pilot test for Sex and Sensibilities.com (SAS) who has received many inquiries and requests about holding workshops/dialogues for solo parents. If successful, SAS will roll out a workshop series that will tackle other aspects of solo parenthood: financial management and budgeting, finding the right yaya, legalities, blended families, and dating again.

“Happy Even After” will be on November 14, Sunday at 9am-11am. Venue is the 2F of Starbucks Ortigas Home Depot, J. Vargas Avenue, Ortigas. Slots are limited. Please reserve your FREE slot by messaging 0927.307.9608.

Facebook Post Blocked to Prevent Spam Help Guide

Vince — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:12:32 +0000

So I started getting this error message on Facebook when I try to post links.

It said:

Sorry! Post Blocked to Prevent Spam

You appear to be using a browser plug-in that attaches spam to your Facebook posts. To complete your post, please remove this browser plug-in or switch to a different computer.

Of course, my initial reaction was WTF!

I searched online about this and apparently there aren’t any help guides or sources for this yet. It seems to be a new Facebook anti-spam plug-in feature. So I did my own research to see what was causing this.

For me, apparently it was my free anti-virus software from AVG. Ironic isn’t it?

Apparently AVG was attaching a little spam link to my posts on Facebook and on Myspace. It would say: “Link verified virus free by AVG” or “(Link) Secured by AVG LinkScanner – http://www.avg.com/fb”

This to Facebook, and to me, was spam.

So then, if you’re like me, you started to say:” F***ing AVG!” Followed by asking the question of: “How do I turn off the plug-in attaching spam to my Facebook posts?”

Well glad you asked.

So I figured out how to turn off the AVG spam plug-in for Facebook. All you have to do is:

1. Go to your AVG 2011 control panel on your Start menu button

2. Open / click on your “AVG 2011 User Interface”

3. Click on “Tools” (seen below)

4. Click on “Advance Settings” (seen below)

5. Click on “LinkScanner” (seen below)

6. UNCHECK the “Add ‘Secured by LinkScanner’ to any sent Facebook or MySpace message checked by LinkScanner. This applies only to messages which contain links.”

7. Sit back and enjoy your Facebook link posting.

8. Send Vince a thank you for helping you out! http://Facebook.com/GspotRadio =)

Ok so maybe you don’t really need steps 7 and 8, but it would be nice.

Anyway, hope that helps out with your Facebook spam plug-in turning off guide / tutorial. It’s my first time doing a step-by-step guide so hope that was ok.
