FROM MY ORGANIC FARM
Planting Time - a variety of veggies
Ever since I was a child, farming has been close to my heart. I can't say that I have green thumb (more likely a green mind, maybe) as I'm not really that good in growing things, but my fascination for the craft can be manifested in the way I'm glued to the television set whenever a farm-related telecast is shown on Discovery Channel or whenever "Jamie At Home" (Jaime Oliver's show featuring his organic farm and homegrown goodies) is playing on the screen.

Wellness Dancercise at Han Wok Chinese Cuisine - Blue Wave
(stretching time before the dance classes began)
(The participants dancing and groovin their way to fitness
through Hip-hop dance moves)
The Wellness Dancercise Classes took the Blue Wave Strip Mall by storm as more than 60 participants danced their way to fitness through the guidance of Jam Aranda from the Benilde Romacon Dance company under the artistic direction of Christine Crame-Santillan. Using a combination of stretching & aerobic work for fitness & wellness integrating hip hop & jazz dance techniques, the very energetic and fired-up participants had a great time while keeping up with the equally energetic instructor.

Entreplink EB at Han Wok Chinese Cuisine at Blue Wave Mall
The Saturday EB of Entreplink Philippines at Han Wok Chinese Cuisine at Blue Wave was another wonderful experience for those lucky enough to be present during the meeting and the networking that followed. The place was really crawling with activities as Entreplinkers gathered on one table (actually several tables strung together) for the Cashflow game, while another group of entreplinkers chatted and drank coffee on another set of tables as the game went underway.
(The team from Beauty and Wellness Options giving Free live blood analysis)
Han Wok's Wellness Weekend was also ongoing during that time as people tried the excellent massage modalities from Rommel Martinez of Greenbay Thera and received Live Blood Analysis and wellness tips from Ian Ocampo and Roscel Dongaban's group from Beauty and Wellness Options. On top of that, the normal lunchtime crowd soon flocked to Han Wok and availed of the sumptuous meals the place had to offer.

Han Wok Blue Wave
I just had one of the best lunch experience in years yesterday. And it was Chinese cuisine!
I accepted the invitation from Mr. Jack Wong and wife Helen, fellow entrepreneurs from Wong Group of Companies to come and visit their Han Wok Chinese Restaurant at the Blue Wave Commercial Complex at D. Macapagal Avenue. I was really glad that I did.
Together with Jack and Helen, we were joined by Jo Frando of Taxmaster Accounting Services, Nathaniel Torilla of Han Wok Blue Wave and Rome Sherriff Montoya of Worldnet Business Center over lunch. They were a really cool group and I had a chance to learn more about Wong Group of Companies and their world-class services.

The Wonders of the Lowly Eggplant
Cure cancer with EGGPLANT?!
That's C-U-R-E, not just improve -- one of today's most common and scariest cancers?
Usually in under 3 months!
Hear about the 80,000 success stories and not one case of cancer coming back...
How did this one get covered up?
(BALTIMORE, MD)
EGGPLANT! And the latest research isn't from some fly-by-night outfit that you'd be afraid to take your dog to - but the Royal London Hospital.
Virtually the entire medical press ignored this natural discovery. But one courageous M.D. broke the news - and has spent his career proving that nobody does it better than Mother Nature. Some even say he's changing modern medicine...
Could a true cancer cure with a 100% success rate get COVERED UP?
Even if it has 80,000 success stories and a 26 year track record?
Dear Health-conscious Friend:
Would you believe that an extract from eggplant could cure -- that's cure, not just improve -- the majority of non-melanoma skin cancers (squamous and basal cell cancers), usually in three months or less? This may seem like an outrageous claim, but researchers have known about these incredible results for over 20 years!
It might have remained a secret for another two decades if award-winning doctor Jonathan Wright, M.D. hadn't published the research -- and dared tell the truth: It's a cure! Just look at the proof:
'It's a cure!' -- straight from Royal London Hospital's double-blind, placebo controlled study.
Using a form of eggplant extract called BEC5, doctors treated both invasive and non-invasive non-melanoma skin cancers. The results were equal to those resulting from invasive surgery, minus the scars. And doctors concluded: 'In our view and experience, BEC5 is...safe and effective...it is a cost-effective treatment for both primary and secondary skin cancer.'
Even more importantly, follow-up research on patients who used BEC5 shows once their cancer went away, it did not recur.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. You'll hear how careful patient records kept since the 1980's show...
Success in 80,000 cases with ZERO return of the cancer!
Over 80,000 patients have used it successfully. Microscopic analysis consistently shows death of all cancer cells. Better yet, no cancer has ever returned.
Best of all, BEC5 does not kill any healthy human cells. With microscopic precision, it selects and eliminates only the cancer cells. Healthy cells are not affected in any way by the treatment.
A major breakthrough?
You bet!
More than a million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year alone.
Yet this same eggplant breakthrough is so safe and effective, it can even be used cosmetically -- to eradicate age spots, sun spots and 'pre-cancers' called actinic keratoses.
It's non-invasive, non-toxic and so easy to use, you can do it at home. Simple as smoothing on skin cream.
So how did our mighty medical press miss this one?
How come you never saw anything about it...not in magazines...not on TV...not even on the internet?
Because of modern medicine's 'golden rule' -- those with the gold make the rules! And this astonishingly cheap, effective cancer cure has just one unfortunate drawback...
It threatens the pocketbooks of pharmaceutical firms, dermatology clinics and plastic surgeons. (And the eggplant lobby isn't nearly as powerful as you might imagine.)
This medical 'maverick' has been swimming against the current to pioneer natural cures the FDA has swept under the rug
His contemporaries call him the greatest genius in alternative medicine.
In fact, they recently awarded him their discipline's highest honor for a lifetime of achievement in naturopathic medicine -- the Linus Pauling Award.
Thousands of forward-thinking doctors have sought him out for advice and guidance in seeking natural therapies for health problems that have defied drugs and conventional treatments...
And to many of his patients, he represents hope for progress in the safe treatment (or even the complete reversal) of diseases and illnesses that may have plagued them for decades -- and stumped their mainstream doctors many times over...
His name is Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and he has made breakthrough cures and therapies that are delivering his patients -- and the patients of his disciples -- from the evils of both disease and the modern drugs that sometimes do more harm than good. In the years to come, these revelations will change medicine as we know it forever -- if the big-money drug interests and corrupt government don't succeed in quashing them first...

2 large cloves garlic
1 slice ginger

Remove the stem from the eggplant and chop into very small, thumb-sized pieces. (Do not peel the eggplant).Rinse the beans. Let sit in the water for a few minutes to soften. Use a cleaver or knife to finely chop.
Peel and mince the garlic. Mash the beans and the garlic together. Set aside.Mince the ginger. Wash and finely chop the green onion.Heat a wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggplant and stir-fry until softened (about 5 minutes). Remove from the wok.Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the garlic and black bean mixture and the ginger.

Crawling with Uok!
One of my favorite TV shows is Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. This guy travels the world looking for the most bizarre foods available in the planet with a byline “If it looks good, eat it.” And he does it all the time - even on foods most people won’t even look at.
In an episode to the beautiful islands of the Philippines, Andrew visited the Balaw-Balaw restaurant in Angono, Rizal, a province in the Philippines. The restaurant is known for its exquisite recipes handed down from generations past, as well as featuring some of the great works of art Angono is known for.
In this episode, Andrew had his first taste of the Uok cooked adobo-style. Although he really didn’t like it that much because of the texture, he says in the show that he likes food served this way because:
“Making traditional items available to today’s diner make us all closer to our past and reconnects us to our food source.”
- Andrew Zimmern
Uok is the Oryctes rhinoceros larva of the coconut rhinoceros beetle. These beetles thrive in fallen coconut trees and decomposing organic matter, where people forage to look for these delicacies. Indigenous tribes used to eat these worms raw, but it can also be cooked in a variety of ways. The Uok is almost 80% rich in protein, more than the amount that cattle beef has if measured with the same volume. In a study conducted by the University of Port Harcourt in Nigeria, Uok is good for children because it is rich in arginine, which is needed for proper growth. It has good protein and unsaturated fat, which is safe for people with cholesterol or heart problems.
So, the next time you head out to the Philippines, or visiting this island nation for the first time, be sure to pass through Balaw-Balaw restaurant and feast yourself with the Adobong Uok and other Filipino culinary delicacies.
