Manny Pacquiao Fight in Sparks Sports Bar and Club!


This is absolutely a great experience, to be in the heart of beats and night life in Quezon City which along the area of Boy Scout Circle where bars, pubs coffee shops and hang outs are present. And it is even nicer to enjoy watching a Manny Pacquiao Fight in a bar.

As we all know, this are the times of the year wherein there is zero crime rate, the traffic situation in EDSA, Commonwealth Avenue, Makati, Ortigas, Pasig and other major roads along Metro Manila is becoming a heaven for as far as traffic situation is concern, and it feels like everybody in the Metro went to some place else!


This is also one of the times of the year that it is better if we are not in the office doing work and just enjoying our time with the company of friends, and what better way than to have fun and enjoy the Manny Fight in a sports bar with a few drinks and probably some wages in the side with your close friends.

And I had my share of that fun by being in Sparks - a Sports Bar and Club at the same time!
The fight was not something that most of us expect but what can we do. Well...at that time, I still have something to thank for, and that is having the chance to watch the fight with my friends in a sports bar where everybody is cheering for our champ.

Something from the menu:



Sparks Club and Sports Bar is in Nakpil Cor. Orosa St. / 2nd flr. Guilly's Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Philippines. Have a great time watching over the Guilly's crowd at night or chill in the morning with your friends with a few drinks and good food.

Piolo Pascual shares tips for healthy eyes



Of all the good-looking men in the entertainment industry, Piolo Pascual is known to stand out from the rest. With just one look from those dreamy and mesmerizing eyes, he can make any girl swoon. But Piolo himself is quick to point out: Having beautiful eyes is not enough. One must have healthy vision as well because this will help you perform tasks and achieve your daily goals.

That’s what Piolo shared with media friends during the launch of “Seeing the World Better,” a public awareness campaign on the importance of good vision organized by Essilor, the world leader in vision solutions.

According to Piolo, “In my line of work as an actor, it is very important to read your co-actor’s facial cues properly in a dialogue, and you can only accomplish it with good eyesight,” he shared. “That is why eye care is a serious matter for me. Without good vision, we can only do so much, and this limitation can stand in the way of achieving our goals,” he added. Here, Essilor’s brand ambassador shares some important tips for healthy eyes: Keep your eyeglasses on. “I am fond of surfing the internet through my mobile device, but I have learned that the blue light from electronic devices can harm our eyesight, so I always wear my eye lenses on,” Piolo shared. Harmful blue light is a risk factor for the onset of age-related macular degeneration, a deterioration of the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. To prevent its damaging effect, eye doctors recommend wearing lenses that effectively blocks the harmful blue light. Reading in a dark room should also be avoided. With only your mobile device as your main light, the glare on the screen can cause eye strain.

Follow a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. Eating a healthy, nutritious diet is beneficial to our eyes. Vitamins C, A and E, folic acid, selenium and zinc, which are present in fruits and vegetables, can make your eyes healthy. Have a daily dose of fruits and vegetables like grapes carrots, spinach, kale, or collard greens, for a clearer, better vision.

Keeping a healthy lifestyle can also be helpful to your eyes, and your overall health. Piolo, who is a known triathlete, maintains a healthy lifestyle by engaging in sports like swimming, biking and running. By maintaining healthy weight, it reduces the chance of getting eye diseases. According to National Eye Institute, being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma.

Visit your optometrist regularly Piolo shared that he has 20/20 vision, but despite having perfect eyesight, he regularly sees an eye doctor to make sure his eyes are in good condition. Regular visits to an eye doctor are very important because it can pick up early signs of eye conditions. You need not wait for symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea and cloudy vision before visiting your optometrist. At the same time, eye check-ups may also detect most diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, heart diseases, and even certain cancers, and can help cure or prevent these diseases from worsening over time. Make an appointment with your eye doctor once a year to keep your eyes and whole body healthy.

There you have it -- Straight from the man whose expressive, healthy eyes have captivated legions of admirers. By simply keeping these tips in mind, we can keep our precious peepers looking good and healthy and be able to perform our daily activities the best way we can.
