Potted Potter coming to Manila

The West End and New York smash hit Potted Potter The Unauthorized Harry Experience — A Parody by Dan and Jeff comes to Manila on Aug. 28 to Sept. 2 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Ave., Makati City.

Potted Potter takes on the challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books into 70 hilarious minutes. The funny show features all the favorite Harry Potter characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.

Created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the show is a must-see for Potter addicts and a great introduction to the series for anyone who’s ever wondered what the fuss is all about. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter. This brilliant family entertainment is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed).

Clarkson and Turner first created Potted Potter in 2005 for an appearance at a London bookshop, as a five-minute entertainment for fans awaiting the release of the sixth book in the series. The show grew into a full-length stage production, first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006, and has since toured internationally, including sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and New Zealand Comedy Festival in 2009. Tickets are available only on TicketWorld’s Facebook fan page via TicketWorld’s BarkadaTix http://www.facebook.com/ticketworldmanila, www.ticketworld.com.ph or call 891-9999.

Starting & ending the day right

I am an incorrigible workaholic. I start my day with a “thank you” prayer. I thank God for all the blessings of the day. I claim them ahead of time. After reading the newspapers, I devote a considerable time working on my papers, organizing and writing my speeches, and answering letters, invitations and e-mails. I make phone calls and return calls. Not to mention regular tapings, interviews, meetings and commercial shoots I am scheduled to do. The list goes on. Twenty-four hours are not enough, I would murmur.

Most of the time, I am neck-deep in work that I forget that I must learn to stop and smell the flowers, so to speak. I skip my meals just to meet deadlines. As a result, I often experience severe abdominal pain and cramping because my stomach is empty. This is hyperacidity which is triggered by skipping meals, excessive drinking, eating or smoking and stress.

Luckily, there’s Kremil-S, an antacid which helps relieve pain brought by pangangasim, paninikmura and hapdi ng tiyan. Now, I feel much at ease because I found the perfect partner while going through my day’s routine. Kremil-S is the fastest solution to hyperacidity.

As part of its campaign to educate people about hyperacidity and fight against it, Kremil-S is having a series of activations this year to educate its target markets. And who are people susceptible to hyperacidity? Kremil-S targets call center agents and bar patrons for its educational campaign.

Over the past few years, there has been a boom in the call center industry. It has offered a lot of career opportunities. However, the job entails irregular, fast-paced work hours for agents.There is gargantuan pressure to make a lot of sales and there are no many “breaks” in this line of work. As a result, agents are exposed to hyperacidity.

Likewise, bar patrons are exposed to hyperacidity because of their high alcoholic beverage and food intake. Alcohol consumption in bars is common and heavy drinking occurs.

With Kremil-S, one will have a quick relief from upset stomach and since it is highly recommended by doctors, one is guaranteed that it is safe to take. Kremil-S tablets may be chewed then swallowed without water or swallowed whole with water. It is very affordable and available over the counter in drugstores all over the country.
