Understanding CoVid-19 symptoms and how to manage them

Image
  The first few months of the year have flown by and it is a month past midyear now, but the number of positive cases is still on the rise. While the new normal is less strict now, everyone is still cautious in avoiding the virus, since the data for the past six months have shown that the spike in Covid19 cases started happening again in early June.

SM Supermalls Welcomes You Into a New Era of Change

Image
  The honest truth: No one came out of the COVID-19 pandemic in quite the same way. The pandemic was an isolating period of self-discovery, emotional growth, and life-altering realizations. It changed people, and in the process, it shaped the way so many of us view ourselves and the world around us. Because of this, consumer tastes and behaviors have shifted. Where in a pre-pandemic world, people often spent on luxuries and experiences that allowed them to celebrate their accomplishments, studies show that consumers now want a different experience, one that is kinder and more embracing of the changes that each individual had gone through in the past 2 years. People are now prioritizing their personal wellness and supporting products and services that champion growth. As consumer tastes have shifted, brands are starting to adapt to these changes. And true to its foundational commitment to make people happy, SM is ready with a host of new offerings as the entire brand is poised for a ref

Negrenses in Sports

Image
  This month, Negros Season of Culture (insert link here) celebrates sports. Negrense Julie Uychiat is an international-class marathon runner. This year she will take on the World Marathon Challenge 2022 – seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. And yet, just seven years ago, Julie hated running. And only because up until 2015 she’s had no running background. Self-imposed fear of failure went out the window when her sister urged her to give running a chance, saying, “It won’t kill you”. And we all know what happens when something doesn’t kill you. Stronger, Julie has since done almost all of the major world marathons – Berlin, Chicago, Boston, New York, London, and soon, Tokyo. And in October this year, at the World Marathon Challenge, she will be running to raise awareness and funds for the children of Kalipay Negrense Foundation. Synchronized swimming, now renamed artistic swimming because solo and duet events have been added to the traditional group performance, has attra
