BF Club's Rigodon for A Cause

CEBU, Philippines - The Bachelors-Femina Club of Cebu’s Rigodon de Honor this year, dubbed as “Rigodon for a Cause” will be the club’s step towards helping the destitute Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) of Cebu City.

The club’s time-honored tradition during its Innocent’s Day Ball will be a fundraising event so they could build a center for the destitute PWDs of Cebu. The center will provide these people a home and at the same time give them the opportunity to learn livelihood programs despite their impairments. The center will also be a temporary accommodation for visiting PWDs from all over the country. The center will also have a clinic, TV room, game room and other facilities.

The “Rigodon for a Cause” will be held on December 28 at the Casino Español de Cebu. Here are the sketches of the gowns of some of the participants:

Stay Healthy this Party Season

The party season is not over! There are still New Year’s parties to attend and you have to be very conscious about your health if you want to start 2011 well. Here are a few party tips from www.healthcastle.com which you can use to make sure you are as healthy as a horse in 2011.

• Don’t go to a party hungry: we often eat faster and more when we are hungry - therefore eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day to avoid overeating at the party.

• Watch your portion: treat yourself a nice drink, dessert, chocolate or sweets without guilt, but always watch your portion.  Go for small portions. This way you can sample all the different foods. Moderation is always the key.

• Make a conscious choice to limit high fat items: high fat food items can be found in fried food, cream-based soup, cheese-filled casseroles, pies, processed meats such as salami and sausages, some pastries and baked goods.

• Try other versions of alcohol: instead of beer, cider, Bailey’s and Kahlua, try dry wine, Bloody Marys or spirits with diet mixer which have fewer calories. Remember: Calories from alcohol tend to be stored in the abdomen. People who are overweight actually gain weight more easily when they consume alcohol.

• Drink plenty of water: alcohol and coffee can dehydrate your body.

• Physical activity: take nice brisk walks with your

loved ones and enjoy their company.
