Moonleaf Celebrates 9th Anniversary

As of today, Milktea has been a part of every Filipino lifestyle. Where ever you go, may it be the mall or just outside your house you see a small kiosk or a full store. Milktea shops are booming everywhere, but even before all these hype came about there are still OG Milktea shops we'll always go back to. I'm very happy to be celebrating with Moonleaf their 9th year anniversary! With this celebration, you can buy 1 Wintermelon Milktea for just 9 pesos for the first 100 customers worldwide!

I'm really glad to be invited and experience this celebration with them and see how many people love this brand. At their Maginhawa branch, they recently renovated the place to welcome a new year and provide a fresh and spacious shop for their customers. I really love how the interiors look, aside from the interiors they have a new line of drinks as well.

Moonleaf continues to innovate and adapt with what's new in the Milktea scene. They also recently introduced the Cheese Cloud line where your drinks have a cloudlike cheese froth topping on them. They also gave us some of their food and desserts too!

They offer light snacks to rice meals too! I really like the fries and pasta especially the Chicken Alfredo.

CHICKEN ALFREDO - 120PHP

FRIES - 70PHP

TUNA PESTO - 120PHP

4 FAVOR - 195PHP

HUNGARIAN PASTA - 130PHP

CHILI CON CARNE BOLOGNESE - 120PHP

Congratulations to Moonleaf for another milestone!

Taiwan Excellence eSports Cup 2019

We all know Pinoys loooove to play eSports like CS:GO, League of Legends, Rocket League and many more! For some people, this is their profession already and some just a hobby. To be better at these games we make sure that we have the best gears or equipment to win, aside from the skills. I, although I don't play professionally, also make sure I have the fastest and best laptop and parts to ace my work. That's why I was glad to experience this year's Taiwan Excellence eSports Cup. Talented Pinoys got together with Taiwan's best gaming products last October 4-6 which was held at SM City North EDSA, The Block Atrium. Guests, gaming enthusiasts, and spectators were treated to a demonstration of how the synthesis of Pinoy prowess Taiwan Excellence can elevate the local eSports community.

The 3-day event held an exciting experience for all gamers, guests and spectators to witness. Highlighting exhilarating tournaments for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and League of Legends, the teams who vied for a slice of the competition's P430,000 prize pool showed how fabulous gameplay can be further boosted through the use of high-quality gaming devices from top Taiwan brands.

To provide the complete experience, booths of Taiwan's top brands were out on display for guests and spectators to try for themselves. Among these were the Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG), Gigabyte Aorus, Transcend and T-force, Kingmax, Zyxel, XPG, Zadak and G.Skill. Two booths include 10 units of gaming desktops for guests to try out and play games like CS:GO and league of legends.

The event was started by the ever energetic host "Eruption", with guests celebrity cosplayer Myrtle Sarrosa. While Ashley Gosiengfiao made an appearance the next day to meet and greet her fans.

Also featured in the event is a cosplay competition where cosplayers dressed up as their favorite characters and fans and guests can also take their photos as well. The event was also packed with entertainment from UPeepz Dance Crew and the pop-rock band GraceNote.

The event was not only for guests and spectators present to enjoy the live tournament but also worldwide, as eSports fans witnessed it through Taiwan Excellence's facebook page live streaming.

Gano Itouch | Why Choose Ganoderma Today

"I want to start living healthy" is something I always say to myself, but somehow tend to forget especially when there's mouth-watering food in front of me, or I'm too tired to work out or I just don't have the luxury of time. That is when I try to find anything I can consume to help my body get stronger and healthier. As I have recently posted here, we were introduced to Gano Itouch and how they help people live healthy through their products which contains their hero ingredient "Ganoderma". If you want to check that post, click here.

Ganoderma Lucidum (red mushroom) is a type of mushroom which had been used as traditional Chinese medicine years ago. Ganoderma lucidum is a member of the fungus family that naturally grows on fallen trees and logs of other broadleaf trees. It is made up of the mycelium and fruiting body. Mycelium is the basilar and white villiform that supplies needed nutrients for growth, while the fruiting body appears in umbrella form including the germ handle and the germ umbrella. Both the mycelium and fruiting body are edible and have various medicinal properties that can be used to prevent and ameliorate human diseases.

Their products claim various benefits and I'm gonna share with you my personal experience from the package we got from them. They gave us a mixture of their healthy drinks which is priced at 200 pesos only!

GANO FRESH

Their Gano Fresh toothpaste is made from a special formulation of Ganoderma Lucidum extract. They claim that it helps with gum bleeding while protecting gums and teeth from infections. Other benefits is that it prevents tooth decay, plaque and rotting, tartar, strengthen tooth enamel and gum, and treat sensitive teeth.

EXPERIENCE:
The toothpaste is color green, which I usually see in herbal toothpaste. It has that semi-clear substance. The taste is surprisingly nice! It has menthol and fresh taste to it that I like, it's not that strong as well. A friend of ours also told us that it helps with boils/singaw and it did! I totally recommend this.

GANO CAFE MOCHA

The first drink I tried since I like mocha a lot! The main ingredients here are premium coffee beans, cocoa beans, and Ganoderma Lucidum extract. This one has minimal caffeine content and it's a mixture of chocolate and coffee.

These are the benefits:
- increase resistance against illness
- promotes mental wellness
- enhances digestion and bowel cleansing
- protects the liver
- improve blood circulation 
- increases energy

EXPERIENCE:
I was not expecting the taste of this! Since it's mixed with Ganoderma Lucidum you will taste the bitterness, but from what I learned bitter is good. Although it's not coffee bitter but healthy bitter, like the bitter gourd. For me, the bitterness was very overpowering but I find this beneficial for the health.

PIOIR GANODERMA COFFEE 3-IN-1

They also have a 3-in-1 coffee which is easier for everyone. Ingredients are quality coffee, non-dairy creamer, and sugar. This is the first known concoction that has coffee and Ganoderma. It also has minimal caffeine content. 

These are the benefits:

- increase resistance against illness
- promotes mental wellness
- enhances digestion and bowel cleansing
- protects the liver
- improve blood circulation 
- increases energy

Basically, they all have the same benefits, whether you opt for a 3-in-1, mocha or any of their healthy beverages.

EXPERIENCE:

Again, since it's coffee it has that same overpowering bitter taste, but I can also taste the sweetness from the sugar but not too much. My grandmother was surprised when she saw me drinking this one as she also fancies it and it helps with her health.

PIOIR GANODERMA CHOCOLATE

Their healthy beverages are not only for older people or like me but they are also beneficial for kids! Especially their chocolate drink! It's an energizing drink with Ganoderma Lucidum extract, high-quality cocoa. and skimmed milk. It does not have caffeine in it and it promotes physical and mental health. The chocolate drink has the same benefits from the coffee variety.

EXPERIENCE:
I was also kinda expecting this to have that bitter taste since it has Ganoderma Lucidum extract, but it does not have any bitterness in it AT ALL. I guess out of all the drinks this is my favorite one! It's one of their best sellers. It has that rich chocolatey taste to it that all ages would like. It tastes better when it's hot.

GANO CAFE GINSENG TONGKAT ALI

This is an exotic blend of coffee. It has Ganoderma Lucidum extract, Eurycoma Longifolia Jack, Ginseng and sugar. It's very distinct and has additional benefits. Again it has minimal caffeine content.

EXPERIENCE:
The products starting here are some of the ones I haven't tried yet but since they are coffee and all have Ganoderma Lucidum extract they will have that bitter taste. I will make an update here once I've tried the other products.

GANO C'REAL SPIRULINA OATS

This one I'm excited to try since I love oats and it has been my go-to breakfast, aside from whole grain cereals. It's ingredients consist of Ganoderma Lucidum extract, spirulina, oats and sugar. It's best for families as a quick-on-the-go meal. Spirulina is a healthy ingredient and is safe. It also helps with digestion and weight loss.

GANO CAFE CLASSIC

Last is their classic coffee. It's an instant black coffee, for those who prefer it. This coffee is specially made for those with diabetes. 

I really liked this box that we got, because you can get to try out everything and then maybe choose what fits your taste preference. They all have the same benefits, which I like. If you don't prefer coffee or chocolate, they have tea as well. It's very good of them to include 3 types of in their healthy beverage, at least you can get to choose. Personally I prefer the chocolate drink since it doesn't have that bitter taste and I can get the same benefits from the other drinks. I have just been trying these for a week now and I feel more energetic, less fatigue and better in general!

I really recommend you to try their beverages or even their supplements. It's not only for older people but it's great to start when you're still young. If you want to try their products you can visit their website or facaebook page.

Gano Itouch | Live Healthy with Ganoderma

In a world of western medicine, we often forget that natural medicine has also contributed a lot to our health status. There are lots of natural remedies out there that are, often than not, more effective and beneficial for our health. I personally had an experience where natural ingredients and got cured with my asthma! I know some people and doctors are still skeptical about natural medicine and supplements but there have been studies wherein these are beneficial and may cure even terminal diseases.

Last week, I had the opportunity to be introduced to Gano Itouch. I was surprised to know that they have been in the industry since 2007! Their main goal is to provide a stable business with products that contain Ganoderma. 

Their hero ingredient to all their products is Ganoderma. So what does is do to our body and what are its benefits? First of all Ganoderma is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. They also call it Reishi Mushroom wherein it grows only in hot and humid locations in Asia.

Upon meeting some people behind Gano Itouch, they introduced us to 2 of their products which are Ganoderma Lucidum and Ganoderma Lucidum Mycelium. These 2 bottles are punched with benefits for our body.

Ganoderma's benefits are really good and here they are:

- Boosts the immune system
- Anti Cancer properties
- Could fight fatigue and depression
- Provide good cholesterol
- Enhance Anti Oxidant status

Gano Excel is also the only Ganoderma Lucidum provider in the world. The mushrooms are grown and harvested inside a huge, climate-controlled greenhouse. They also owns the world's largest 100% organic Ganoderma plantation located in Kedah, Malaysia.
