"on a shoestring"

Surfers, runners, bikers, health buffs and you who want to lose that extra flab, I think this Water+ is for you

I’m a Zest-O kid, I remember that drink is always partnered with my sandwich during elementary days. Now times has changed and so the makers of Zest-O bring us a revolutionary product called “WATER PLUS.” To better understand its simple Water plus L-Carnitine and Fibersol, flavoured with Apple or Grapes or Lemon &Berries.

L-Carnitine is  an amino acid that helps increase fat-burning properties in the body while Fibersol is a water soluble fiber that help maintain a healthy digestive track. Now you see water in a different light with Water Plus.

Unlike other weight loss drinks, it has zero sugar and zero calories which enables you to burn more fats without  adding extra pounds. For people trying to maintain or loose weight, it is highly recommended that they pair their meal with a bottle of WaterPlus Reduce. The added L-carnitine in WaterPlus Reduce will help them burn calories faster  thus minimizing unwanted calories that turn into fats.

To add (PLUS) to the WATER fun, 3 of the sexiest models are drinking it too.

Grace Lee, Jericho Rosales and Andi Manzano loves drinking WaterPlus.

I’m not a model but I like the “Protect” variant. now, would that make me a model? I hope so. haha

Water Plus is available in three (3) variants, Reduce, Smart and Protect. It will definitely quench your thirst and enhance your health.

Also, its cheap for P15/500ml bottle.

Before I end this post, you might want to win a Canon 550D kit or an Apple Ipad or an Ipod Nano just by sending a photo with WaterPlus? Easy right, Visit WaterPlus Facebook Fan Page for more details. Whick reminds me to send my entry na.

Sweet & Sweat Run at La Carlota City, Negros Occidental

Check out Rave Run #1: Mambukal Resort (1 of 4) before continuing…

I woke up on a rainy morning in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental. I need to have my regular run today so I prayed for a better weather, after some 30 minutes the rain stopped. I wasted no time and laced up. I just need to have some dose of endorphins before I continue my 14-day backpacking trip.

My DailyMile log says, “Nice run, with Indian trees, palms, rivers along the flat route.”

Indeed, It was a nice run, well..Let’s say “SWEET” RUN because La Carlota City is home to a lot of haciendas producing sugarcanes which in turn processed by Central Azucarera into sugar.

Distance covered: 7 Kilometers

Running Surface: Dead Flat roads, perfect for setting your PR.

Pro’s: Cold and fresh air, Old sugar mill train,  lots of trees and sugarcanes by the road and less vehicles.

Time: 49:00 (6:59/km)
