Two great things can be noted from House of Mode Elle, fashion and charity. House of Mode Elle is not only getting beautiful from the outside but on the inside as well, it is known as the "fashion house with a heart". Just recently, House of Mode Elle held a fashion show with a cause in Robinsons Novaliches entitled "I CANCERVIVE" showcasing their students fashion, modeling and singing talents from their newly opened Mode Elle Academy.

House of Mode Elle opens the academy for aspiring students who wants to go big in the entertainment industry. The Mode Elle Academy, a school that can help them hone their skills and discover other talents as well. This school is open to kids as young as two years old. The courses offered here are modelling, acting, singing, dancing, personality development, makeup and photography. There are three categories for students enrolling, the KIDS category which ranges from 2 to 10 years old, the TEENS that is from 11 to 15 years old, and the ADULTS which starts from 16 to 29 years old.

Kwento Ni Toto brings to you readers about the poll that Herbalife Health made showing 9 in 10 Filipino consumers surveyed by global nutrition company Herbalife are “highly concerned” about the potential diseases that an unhealthy lifestyle can cause them, with the same number believing that simple lifestyle changes can help improve their overall well-being.

A good number of the respondents expressed willingness to adopt a healthy lifestyle; 79 percent said that they would cut down on unhealthy foods, 78 percent expressed their willingness to exercise more regularly, and 72 percent said they would make better nutrition choices.

“We welcome the results of the survey. It gives an understanding of Filipinos becoming even more health concious and self-aware that they need to make some lifestyle changes to improve their overall well-being. It also gives Herbalife an idea where we are needed, because as the survey revealed only four out of 10 would spend 10 to 30 minutes a day to make simple lifestyle changes,” said Rosalio Valenzuela, Herbalife Philippines General Manager.

Kwento Ni Toto enjoyed Filipino dish in one of the restaurants in one of the busy malls in the metro. If you're one of those 80's or 90's kids who once lived in the rural areas in the Philippines then you'll definitely be missing the smell and taste of dishes cooked in that places. Worry no more because there's a restaurant that looks upon the Filipino's cultural heritage when it comes to cooking and serving food.

Summer is totally over and rains had already poured out into the city of pines. Rain may come but the excitement of being in Baguio City doesn’t stop especially now that Halloween is just a few months away, as there are known haunted places in Baguio City that scares us but thrills us to be there. We Filipinos are curious people that we tend to personally see and know things whenever we find intriguing matters.

For the love of clean hands and feet nails, we all need to get clean. For the ladies it's heaven for them to be pampered once in a while and for the guys, well there are some who love to have their hands and feet nails be cleaned. So ideally women aren't just the ones who needs pampering, men too. That's why Nails.Glow on its 6th anniversary celebration is expanding its market reach and to help them with that Nails.Glow got their very first celebrity endorser, Liza Soberano.

Just right before Holloween here's another story on the big screen that will let you feel terrified and jumped off your seats. It is the chilling and eerie setting that will definitely give you a spine tingling sensation with "Resureksyon".

"Resureksyon" is a horror-thriller movie that will definitely let you give a second look on places abroad that you'll be working. It is a story of a mom who leaves for abroad to look for greener pasture for her family and then something happens that one day, she was brought back to the country in a coffin and on it are markings with specific instruction.

When the Americans made their retreat during the 2nd World War it follows with the famous quote “I shall return”, and that’s what lingers in my head after waking up on my comfy bed in Azalea Residences Baguio on our last day. As what most of us feels, it’s hard to say goodbye but it doesn’t mean it’s the end of it but only the beginning of something new and more Kwento Ni Toto’s after summer group getaway adventure at Azalea Residence Baguio.

Since it’s the last day we all get time to visit parts of Baguio City for our ‘pasalubong’ but before that we were toured around Azalea Baguio Residences to get to know more of what the hotel offers to their guests. Here are some photos of the rooms that you can comfortably enjoy your stay and cherish some great moments with your friends or love ones.

The best thing about sequels is that you get to enjoy the continuation of the story. Like in Star Wars the saga continues. So, in Kwento Ni Toto, the story behind the clouds where the City of Pines lies carries on.
Though the comfy and cozy sheets of the bed hug me tightly the ringing music of the telephone isn’t good enough to hear continuously. It’s our wakeup call and it is really an early wake up call. They are just ensuring that everyone will be up and ready for the day’s journey.

Few weeks ago, one of the country's leading brand for baby products, Enfant, kicked off their 20th Anniversary celebration by holding a one-day exposition in one of the busy malls in the metro. The event was attended by guests, expectant moms, dads and families.

Aside from the booths and discounted baby items inside the event there are also other activities enjoyed by the kids and the parents.

If you have seen the movies shown in Cinemalaya XI last August then the movie “Silong” isn’t new to you anymore but because you loved the film very much you’ll probably going to watch it again on cinemas.

We’ve all known that there are great movies in Cinemalaya that are just waiting to be noticed and placed on its rightful places in the movie entertainment industry.

Gone are the days when our typical Juan Dela Cruz’ plight for brightness depends on an oil fueled lamp, A lot of eyebrows were burnt from that rigorous process. Pain-staking old-school scenario equates to a person's patience to what's obvious: Scarcity of light, stalls our nation’s road to progress.

One can also imagine during night time back then wherein streets or even roads are in complete darkness and the only source of light comes from moon and stars. Sadly, up until now there are areas in the country which lacks the luxury of having a decent street light, in particular, our rural areas.

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate perhaps chocolate has indeed made the world a sweeter place to live with. There are films, books and even music creations inspired by chocolate. Chocolates have the power to speak to the soul. They symbolize so many things and emotions, as well as narrate different stories and time. Essentially, these are the reasons why they have been a favourite subject in film, literature and music.

The two adaptations of Ronald Dahl’s 1964 masterpiece Charlie and the Chocolate Factory could easily fall under the most sought after works about chocolate. The 1971 adaptation starred Gene Wilder and was directed by Mel Stuart, while the 2005 version directed by Tim Burton featured Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.

Keeping in mind and thoroughly going through the meaning of sustainability in relation to an organization makes the whole process, operations and implementing stands of TGI Fridays easier to look at and understand. The company operates by licensing its products to other companies for better and faster retrieval and ordering of the company's raw material needs. Going through a limited resources from the company's management and operations I was able to analyze and get data concerning their needs and what areas to improve in terms of sustainability.

Global brand needs to set a standard and for a company that is known to most people, accreditation for standardization from third party boost up the quality of the services plus uplifts the status is a must. As for TGI Friday's Restaurant's sustainability matters, ISO 14001 is one of them.

The second principle is The Economic Domain which implies more on the demand and supply. “Adopt an appropriate accounting system, fully aligned with the planet's ecological process and reflecting true, comprehensive biospheric pricing to guide the economy.” This domain or principles tells more about the things a company or organization should know, one is the demand and supply which is always present in the management system of a company or organization and in the case of TGI Friday's demand and supply plays a very important role.

Literature… many have given definitions to this term but some just only get the narrow meaning of it, people say that literature is just a printed words found within the hardbound covers of a books, magazines, etc. but they didn’t know that the true meaning of literature is not only on the written words, phrase or sentence, or paragraphs, it is within every words. It is the orchestration of the manifold but elemental experiences of man, it is the voice of a human heart, blended into the harmonious and desired patterns of expression.

Literature is said to be the product of a nation’s culture and that is true. The nation’s culture is not easily formed it is a decade or centuries of process. A nation’s culture passes through time, torments, wars, and celebrations. It is the witness of every passing of time as it is molded into refinement. A culture can be compared to a “halo-halo,” without the ingredients it will just be an ordinary shred ice with coloring but when mixed together it burst out a different flavor. Like the culture, it is mixed with different beliefs, way of living, activities and practices before it reached the refined culture of a nation.

Companies evolve and sometimes dissolve. The life span of companies is based in its sustainability, the stronger the foundation to sustain the company the longer its life span. Development and progress occurs when sustainability is present.

Sustainable Development or Sustainability may have been the most and well used term at present, specifically in organizations, governments and companies that participates after the United Nations released the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development that warns not only governments of every country but also companies and organization to use the present natural resources wisely.  With this, everyone started using the term “sustainable development’ as a major concept in preserving the natural resources and at the same time progress and develop for the good of everyone.
