Jeena is the most adventurous woman that I know!! She already showed signs when we were in highschool. She was into all the physical activities! Not only that, she married one of the most active guys in town, Ernie! So you can imagine…and now even their kids are getting into the action and the beauty of it is they seem to be enjoying as a family! I am so glad to finally be featuring Jeena in Heart2Heart!! Not only to counter all the eating we do here 🙂 but to pay tribute to an outstanding woman who inspires us all to JUST DO IT! to be adventurous and explore new things! and at the same time save lives!
And now she tells us she is into biking!! What next?
I hope you can help support Jeena and the Cervical Cancer Patients….
Good luck Jeens…we are behind you all the way!

As some of you may already know, I have recently taken on a new sport: Biking. This was inspired by a a friend who told me about “tour of hope”. It’s a 5-day 500 kilometer bike ride (yes, BICYCLE) from Manila to Camarines Sur in Bicol. Aside from the physical challenge of it all, it’s a charity project to raise funds for Cervical Cancer awareness, and hopefully to prevent one of the most common cancers to afflict women in the Philippines. During these 5 days May 24-28, there will be seminars and screenings held at the designated rest stops of our bike ride. Hopefully we save some lives and some families from losing their mothers. If I could save just 1 person, my 500 km. ride would be well worth it. The good thing about cervical cancer is it can be detected early and prevented. Thus I am asking your support to pledge for me for the “tour of hope” and help a lot of women out there. It would be wonderful to know that I am with you at every kilometer I ride for the fight against cervical cancer. Included here is a pledge form for me. I hope I can count on you guys to support this. Thank you from the women you have helped! |

Heart2Heart is proud to feature behind the scenes of Messy Bessy…… aside from it being environmentally friendly, it also helps 8 young adults. Messy Bessy is only one of the projects of H.O.U.S.E. which is a foundation set up by my sister, Krie. I am looking forward to more of her projects because she is very creative..so watch out for more things to come from H.O.U.S.E
Here is a short background of the foundation from Krie:
H.OU.S.E. was built to be a group of businesses that are run by young adults who are disadvantaged (formerly abused, impoverished, neglected and/or incarcerated) 
Established in 2007 and has since generated over 4,000 hours of work experience for the 8 beneficiaries, all of whom are young adults from the Virlanie Foundation (www.virlanie.org). Virlanie is the largest non-sectarian child-caring nonprofit organization in Manila.
The first enterprise of H.OU.S.E. is Messy Bessy Cleaners, Inc., established in November 2007. (www.messybessy.com)
Messy Bessy Cleaners, Inc. is a manufacturer and wholesaler of eco-friendly, nontoxic household cleaners. Currently, we carry 18 different products offered in over 10 distribution points.
Profits from Messy Bessy are funelled back into the beneficiaries — through (1) salaries and (2) personal development programs which include home schooling, art therapy and the like. Home schooling for 3 of our beneficiaries/employees started in March of this year.
The upcoming enterprises of H.OU.S.E. include the following: Daisy’s Daydream all-natural Ice Cream and Misis Linis, a lower end line of green cleaners to be distributed through women’s livelihood projects in depressed areas.
HOUSE is a social enterprise — a for-profit venture with social goals. Although our businesses are designed to sustain the project, we are still hoping for donations to jumpstart our development programs. We are in particular looking for:
(1) A space with affordable rent for Safe HOuSE — a center that holds our kitchen, office, storage and School HOuSE.
(2) kitchen supplies, office furniture, text books, books
(3) old clothes, uniforms, aprons

Of course I bought a pair of GB sandals during Walk the Green Mile to support Haribon Foundation and the event….
…and because I loved the sandals and flip flops of the whole line! Hmmm…..it was hard to choose which one I wanted…they were all nice
Then finally I decided, I wanted this!!
because I wanted to feel like I was Giselle 🙂
But it was not yet available, so I got this which I truly truly love…the fit and I still sort of feel like Giselle..so I guess it’s okay 🙂 Perfect for the summer…will buy another pair for me and my Mom
Ipanema GB Seeds Collection for women, now available in the following stores: SM Department Store, Shoe Salon, Chocolate Clothing Company, Red Alert, Landmark, Freeway, Planet Sports, Crossings, Chimes Davao, 25th Avenue Square Naga, Basix Bacolod and other boutiques nationwide.

Aside from protecting the Whale Sharks, Runners for Others has teamed up with the Condura Run and will also be making many children SMILE! Ton is also a member of Runners for Others together with Jay, Anton, Nina, Butch, Cris, Kit Kat and many others who also RUN FOR A GOOD CAUSE! I am so proud of all of them! According to Butch Jimenez, 21 children have gotten clef surgery from the efforts…. and the race has not even started yet.
From Butch Jimenez
The objective is to try and raise the spirit of helping others not just among R4O members but among all the runners that plan to participate in the Condura Run.
To this end, our plan is quite simple:
We will encourage those that register for the Condura Run to give a donation of Php 100, that can help a child with cleft deformity smile again. Aside from being able to help, the runner will be given a special edition running bib that says “ I am running to make a child smile”.
We plan to print about 2,500 bibs to be distributed among the various registration points of the Condura Run which will be set up inside Nike shops in Metro Manila.
Hopefully, we envision thousands of runners wearing the racing bibs indicating they don’t just run, they run for others.
