The "Nostalgia Meets the Future'' theme took attendees on a musical journey weaving the nostalgia of the original celebration in 1999, and seamlessly connecting it to the energetic performances of P-Pop sensation SB19, Sponge Cola, Al James, Gab Pangilinan, and Myke Salomon. Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez, back on the same stage she first graced in 1999 for the Millennium countdown, came full circle, captivating partygoers and delivering an unforgettable performance. 

Secret Menu's involvement elevated the event to a global scale by orchestrating a livestream— expanding the celebration's reach and engaging audiences beyond physical boundaries that included revelers at home, out-of-town enthusiasts, and homesick Filipinos abroad. Aside from the 130K on ground attendees in Makati’s Central Business District, the livestream generated 330K views and helped the event reach 4.7M people across social media platforms.

6 Ways to Get Lucky this Chinese New Year at SM Supermalls

How do you attract good luck?

When it comes to ushering in good fortune, Feng Shui can help you prepare for the positive energy that the Year of the Pig brings. Feng Shui expert Marites Allen says that it isn’t that hard to practice. The more you do it, the better you get. Here are some tips on how to attract good energy, fortune, and luck this Chinese New Year:

1. Wear colors that symbolize the element of Fire or Metal. Dress in red, pink, and orange, but don’t forget to add colors that represent Earth – yellow, ocher, or brown – to balance out the flows of inner energy. Shop for fashionable clothes in lucky colors at The SM Store.

2. Eat food that is dominant in colors red and white. Among hundreds of lucky food, dim sum is one of the luckiest as it translates into having prosperity and good family life. Indulge in Chinese dining at SM’s one of many buffet or Chinese restaurants, and family Dining Deals from January 21 to February 5!

3. Reimagine your office space. Relieve stress at work and eliminate negative energy by applying Feng Shui techniques in your workspace. Clean out the clutter and tidy up your desk Mari Kondo-style by organizing them in storage boxes, which you can buy at SM Home.

Yuletide Health Tips from Doc Pao

With Christmas just being around the corner, we felt like it was time to touch base with our favorite doctor and ask how 2016 has been for him. Doctor Paolo Bellosillo, our favorite nature therapy doctor answers a few questions for us this season of giving. Read on and learn more about what he has to say.

It's Xmas season once again, how has 2016 treated you in terms of health and spreading the word about your advocacy?

The Mission of helping people Live A Legacy this 2016 has been a blast.  Starting of the year of 2016, many came for the need to detoxify and lose weight.  Towards the middle, chronic and degenerative diseases of the heart and kidneys started piling with comorbidities existing in every individual.  The third quarter received much need to address cancer patients while cascading various preventive medicine techniques to senior citizens and the youth.  Lastly the fourth quarter starting with October became a preparation period for those who have chronic stress and fatigue who are usually exposed to much pain due to inflammation, mostly professionals who experience pain in the areas of the head, spine both cervical and lumbar and lastly of the chest which is usually circulation based.  You can say that a lot of people are indeed in need for some healthy ageing.

What is the one thing you wish people would make as part of their NY resolution?

Knowing we only have one life, it is so valuable that in hope, I pray others would reduce all practices that will prove to be a threat to life.  An example is smoking, drinking alcohol and eating beyond one’s capacity of unfriendly fats and too much salt and sweets.  Perhaps being mindful of one’s gift, Intellect Will and Soul, sound decisions can be made.  So think of yourself and others too.


Do you think there will be more heart related sickness in the future and how can people avoid it?

Well policies exist as well as institutions to help mold the awareness of people about what’s good and what’s not but certainly there are big factors that are at play, personal decisions and dispositions, societal norms, product and activity fads created by media cascade dependent on the period and season, ways and means to cope with stress, urban and regional existing interplays of land uses and activities which actually affect the movements and living of people; there may be more but these certainly are factors that will dictate how much heart related sickness would occur.  


What's one thing that people need to do to make sure they maintain a healthy heart?

Know who you are.  You are Gods child and have been given one heart. Once it stops beating you are gone forever.  Know your role, you’re a team player in your family and community.  Others need you. Know your limits. Master yourself. You can’t manage something you can’t measure.  If it’s about health, see your holistic medicine or integrative medicine specialist who will view your health as a whole system and not by parts.

Commit to good sound and safe change in your lifestyle, be it nutrition, fitness, sleep, relationships and of course spirituality.  Talk to your specialist for a customized program.
Believe the truth that while stem cell therapy can help repair and regenerate tissues even that of the heart, on an acute episode or attack, stem cell may not right away regenerate the infarct part of the heart, that part of the heart will die and its function will be diminished to an extent that you might lose your life hence knives and scissors would be the only way to help you- surgery.  If you can stay away from knives and scissors, do so, although it may help on emergency cases much uncertainty is also present when one is opened.  

What's one thing that people need to avoid to make sure they don't trigger a heart attack?

Stress brought about by lack of appropriate sleep, diet and exercises. When you sleep, sleep without the phone the noise and the lights which hamper proper sleep.  When you feel like celebrating this season with cheese, protein preservatives like ham and sweets like cakes, pastries and ice cream, making these part of your daily diet is a no no, it will just cause more problems for your heart as these substances will eventually cause the hardening and stiffening of your arteries.  Lack of proper coping with stress can cause surge in stress hormones which eventually may cause rise in sugar and lipid levels which further increase your cardiovascular disease risk, due to the inflammation they bring.  Going out on a daily high consumption of pro inflammatory food without exercising at least for 30 minutes may cause build up in plaque within your arteries and other blood vessels.  All these things mentioned put your heart at risk, because you failed to live a healthy lifestyle- live to the fullest by making sound and calculated decisions that increase your life expectancy and longevity.
