Book Review: Break Free by Don Soriano
2017 is a promising year for me. I have claimed that it is going to be a great year to start building our dreams and working on our life goals. Goals which included career growth, passion projects, addressing business needs, family plans and most importantly personal growth and development.
Our goal is not really about getting filthy rich but it's about living comfortably, having genuine peace of mind and breaking free from the financial worries. In 2016, I learned the having a proper mindset is the key to a successful life. Thus, I have committed to invest in myself more by following inspirational people and reading self-help books.
Break Free by Don Soriano
I was fortunate enough to get a copy of Don Soriano's book, Break Free. It talks about the principles to get from employee to employer in 3 years or less. I said to myself, "This is perfect. Just what I exactly needed."
Readers are expected to read the book in 1 hour though was able to finish it in 45 minutes (Yes, I timed it. + you wouldn't want to stop reading it until you finish the book.)
Though it's a quick read, the book provides very helpful and practical tips. It is very straightforward making it a perfect gift to stubborn and lazy readers.
The book is not only about giving you tips on what to do but it also makes you think and realize your current situation, unacceptable excuses while inspiring you that you can still change your life and break free. (So, yes if you are stubborn and full of excuses, then this book would talk some sense into you.)
I believe that everyone should read this. We should all realize the value of financial education and proper money management.
Don Soriano's Break Free will teach you:
- Why you should not quit your job now?
- What is the key to happiness?
- How can you learn and grow more?
- How will your environment affect your success in life?
- And a lot more
Currently, they are not yet available in major bookstores but you can order it online at www.facebook.com/iamdonsoriano for only Php 300.
About Don Soriano
If you are wondering, Don Soriano is a successful businessman who is a part owner of a branch of an international restaurant franchise and the franchisee of several Mr. Softy Ice Cream food carts. He is also a trainer and speaker who empowers people in business, personal finance, investments, and leadership.
Visit www.donsoriano.ph/donspeaks if you would like to invite him as speaker in your future events.

BACOLOD BLOG SERIES: Where can you find real corn nachos in Bacolod?
Bacolod has been home to distinct and really good food. From chicken inasal, fresh seafood, baby back ribs to sweet treats, there is no doubt that Bacolod is a foodie's haven.
Beyond our local discoveries, there is one thing that we were missing from our favorites in Manila. We cannot find REAL CORN NACHOS in Bacolod. Every time we order nachos from restaurants, we get disappointed to be served with something like "fried wonton wrappers" (No offense to those who prefers this but we really prefer the Mexican type corn nachos.)
Thank God that Nacho King has opened their first branch here in Bacolod. Nacho King is located near SM Cinema just behind the Brownies Unlimited kiosk.
For as low as Php 135, one can enjoy their Biggie Beefy with Salsa (which is my favorite). These are real corn nachos with lean ground meat, salsa and a generous amount of cheese sauce.
If you want it with jalapeno and mushrooms, one can also opt for their Biggie and Jumbo Loaded Nachos. Both sizes are good for sharing. You can also build your own nachos starting at Php 45 for medium size nachos with cheese and Php 25 per additional topping. Nacho King is indeed the perfect movie time snack
For your reference, here is Nacho King's pricelist.

For your reference, here is Nacho King's pricelist.
And because their nachos are crunchy and really delicious, we got excited when we found out that we can also purchase nachos separately. They offer big packs of plain nacho chips for Php 110 and Php 90 for their flavored nacho chips. Flavors include cheese, chili cheese, sour cream, and barbecue. I believe this is a better option for pasalubongs plus you can make our own DIY nachos with our own preferred toppings at home.
So, for everyone who's looking for real corn nachos like us, the search is over since Nacho King SM Bacolod is already in the city of smiles. As you can see, Val clearly enjoys his favorite snack.
Go ahead and visit them near SM Cinema and follow them on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/NachoKingBacolod/ for more updates and upcoming promotions.

Jason Wahler Is Going To Be A Dad
Val and I love hearing about baby stories. As a TTC couple, we get excited when we hear pregnancy announcements just like when we heard that "The Hills” star Jason Wahler and his wife Ashley, are expecting their first baby!
Though the funny thing is, Jason and Ashley found out they were expecting on the same day that Jason's ex and former Hills co-star Lauren Conrad announced that she was pregnant.
 |
| Source: https://www.instagram.com/ashleywahler |
In an even more interesting twist, the pregnancy announcement news was preceded by some crazy marriage timing as well. Ashley and Jason were married back in 2013, and the next morning, Lauren announced that she and then-boyfriend William Tell had gotten engaged. Jason called the whole debacle “so awkward”.
As if that wasn't enough baby excitement for one set of former co-stars, back on February 9, Whitney Port announced that she is also pregnant. There must be something in the water for these former co-stars, with all of them announcing back to back pregnancies.
This is good news for Jason who has been sober since 2010 following his very well documented and tumultuous relationship with Lauren on the show, which he blamed on his alcoholism. 2017 is indeed a year of opportunities and new adventures for everyone including these first-time parents. Excited to see this new little bundle of joy.
Congratulations Jason and Ashley! Keep the “Hills” babies coming!

Stay Beautiful with Vitamin C
We all know that Vitamin C is good for our
health as it protects our immune system and helps us fight diseases but did you
know that Vitamin C is also loaded with beauty benefits?
Vitamin C’s benefits extend to more than just
our body health, it is also loaded with other benefits that will help us look
good.
Skin
Anti-Aging
Vitamin C helps the body in attaining full
production of collagen- a protein that keeps the skin and other organs together,
the element that is responsible for our skin’s elasticity and strength, thus, a
regular intake of vitamin C equates to a younger and brighter-looking skin.
Vitamin C also helps in the creation of
ligaments and scar tissue by reducing the rate of free radicals, thereby
slowing the aging process and reduces the visibility of wrinkles, skin dryness
and fine lines.
Benefits
for Nails
The benefit of Vitamin C doesn’t stop there
as the same effect extends to your nails. It helps strengthens the connective
tissues that fortifies the nail bed and helps our nail to grow faster. It also
prevents hang nails by assisting collagen formation.
Hair
health
Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in growing
and strengthening our hair as it helps in absorbing Iron – an element that
keeps our hair strong and healthy. And as mentioned earlier, it also help
absorb collagen that stimulates the hair follicles which helps your hair grow
faster.
In achieving the above benefits, an optimum
level of Vitamin C is needed.
Bewell-C (Sodium
Ascorbate) contains all the vitamin C your body needs minus the acidity. Bewell-C
(Sodium Ascorbate) is a non-acidic Vitamin C supplement that is rapidly gaining
popularity among the public as a high quality and effective brand. Bewell-C is the next generation vitamin
C that provides all the benefits of vitamin C without the risk of hyperacidity.
For those who need both Vitamin C and
Calcium, Bewell-C plus calcium is
also available in the market. Just like Bewell-C, this product also uses
non-acidic vitamin C paired with organic calcium fortified with Vitamin D for
stronger bones and teeth.

Love Your Hair with Novuhair
They say that LOVE IS THE HAIR! Whether you agree or not, I have always believe that everyday is the best time to celebrate love. And this is not just about our love for our special someone but our love for everything and everyone including ourselves.
This February, take time to take care of your own appearance
and since our hair is on top of our body, it is pertinent that we start with
it.
Here are a few tips in maintaining a healthy hair.
·
Observe
good hygiene all the time – regularly wash your hair
to remove dirt and grimes
·
Be
extra careful whenever combing your wet hair –
your hair is vulnerable to breakage during this period.
·
Use
towel to dry off your hair after shower – Using
hair dryer can cause damage to your hair; if you must use the heat then do so
sparingly.
·
Eat
the proper nutrition- Our hair is also dependent
on what we eat. Iron-rich food and protein strengthens your hair.
·
Have
enough sleep – Lack of sleep can cause hair loss.
Sleeping allows our hair to repair and regenerate. Changes in our sleeping
patterns have shown to affect our body’s immune and hormone function, as well
as our physical and mental stamina. Our hair is very sensitive to these changes
within the body.
·
Pamper
your hair - Give your hair a proper massage with the
nutrients it needs.

ingredients which includes herbal components such as moringa oleifera, panax
ginseng, virgin coconut oil and the natural essences of rosemary and
