Items are all authentic and traditionally handmade by the artist, Oren Sagi.Oren’s creations combine three basic elements: 

Hanging Triplet Charm Set - Water, Olive Oil, Soil

Water - from the holy Jordan River- Jesus Christ was baptized in the Bethany across the Jordan River (John 1:28). He traveled south to the Jordan to meet John the Baptist who was baptizing in the river all who came and repented of their sins. 

Olive Oil - from the selected ripe Galilee olives, crushed into pure oil at a local press, just as they were 2000 years ago. The oil represents holy anointing by the power of the Spirit of God. 

Soil - taken from several regions of this extraordinary land and combined into a single mass; then sifted, cleaned and flattened until every grain is a separate, distinct entity.

Let's take a trip down memory lane at Reminisque Bistro in Tomas Morato

Tweet

A great evening as we turn back time, while having taste the traditional Filipino Cuisine at the newly opened Reminisque Bistro in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Dining experience that takes you back to Good Ole Days, turn back time as Reminisque Bistro provides guests with relaxing chill and nostalgic vibe music of the decade past - the 70s, 80s, 90s and traditional Filipino cuisine with fresh new ideas with delicious taste. 

For quality dining experience that takes you back to the good ole days, Reminisque Bistro is the perfect go-to place for a much-deserved indulgence. 

Reminisque Bistro opened its doors to the public last July 30, and as the name suggests, this cozy dining hub aims to provide a venue for adult professionals and yuppies who are craving for some straight-up, comfort grub with the distinct feel of hometown goodness.

Metro Manila’s newest go-to place for foodies and pub crawlers steers clear of the usual culinary fix being served by nearby restos and cafes in the area. Instead, it focuses on exquisite, traditional Filipino cuisine, but the kind that incorporates fresh new ideas with delicious regional taste. 

Almost everything that comes out of the kitchen is a specialty prepared in classic, flavorful glory: kansi, a rare Ilonggo delicacy that straddles the fine line between bulalo and sinigang, is a huge hit among regulars, especially after giving its thick, tangy taste a try.

Their traditionally prepared kare-kare brings a slice of home: earthily smoothened and savored with grounded peanuts and roasted rice grains. Reminisque Bistro also offers lengua—a rich and tasty ox tongue recipe in creamy mushroom sauce and red wine; the classic sisig with pita—a popular Filipino appetizer that goes well with beer and surprisingly, pita bread; and the famous Reminisque chicken— fried to golden brown with a unique savory taste you’ll surely remember.

“We hired a chef, experienced in creating various dishes including his old recipes gathered,” Matias says about how they sort through and curate the food in their menu.

Reminisque Bistro’s homey, modern Filipino interiors are the perfect setting for people who just want to unwind after a stressful day at work. A service cocktail bar features a wide array of drinks—pure, concocted and fondly stirred with alcoholic mixes, spirits, vodka, seasonal fruits, and sweeteners.

Their private function rooms with 35-seating capacity can also hold special meetings, gatherings, and small parties. 

Apart from its cozy, contemporary ambiance and delightful homegrown food, Reminisque Bistro holds themed nights that cater to adult audiences seeking for nostalgic music of the past. Their pool of DJs plays expertly curated songs that span from the ‘70s, ’80s, ‘90s to the present while acoustic performers provide guests with relaxing chill music that they can sing along to and enjoy in the background. 

Visit Reminisque Bistro at Scout Lozano Street corner Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

The bistro is open daily for lunch up until the last call, which is usually at 2:00 am. Call (02) 4415302 / 0476182093 for inquiries and reservations. Add us on Facebook: facebook.com/Reminisquebistro.

RE/MAX Philippines introduces a new concept that benefits consumers

Tweet

Leonard Campos, President RE/MAX Philippines and Michelle Perlas, Country  Manager RE/MAX Philippines at the RE/MAX media launch held at the Discovery Primea 

The world's highest-rating franchise, RE/MAX, has changed the real estate sector in the Philippines by providing more options to people looking for property to own or lease. RE/MAX Philippines is now making an impact in the global arena through its proven and tested model in franchising where everybody wins.

RE/MAX is the World’s No. 1 Real Estate brand and has the largest global network of highly successful brokers and agents in 100 countries.

For brokers, it means a more professional approach to doing business. 

"Our people aren't just in it for the money. They love what they are doing and are looking forward to what happens every day. They don't just have jobs. They have careers," explains RE/MAX Philippines country manager Michelle Perlas.

But the biggest benefit of RE/MAX being in the Philippines, according to Perlas, is felt by consumers.

"There are so many real estate developments right now. If you are a consumer, you need more information and guidance. How do you know which one to choose to buy, rent or lease?"

RE/MAX franchisees help potential buyers/lessees look at their options.

For instance, why are you looking for a property? Is if for investment purposes or are you going to live in it?

"RE/MAX teaches its franchisees/brokers to get to know their clients. We want them to talk to their prospects and find out what these people want versus what they need. This is how they can be effective brokers. In the end, what we will have are happy customers and that's why we are here," says Perlas.

At the launch of RE/MAX Philippines at Discovery Primea Hotel, the media and listed brokers try the latest RE/MAX Technology platforms.

RE/MAX's business model was novel but it has worked in around 100 countries where RE/MAX has helped brokers reach their professional and business goals. 

"The franchise approach is incredibly efficient and a great driver for growth," said Dave Liniger, who co-founded RE/MAX in 1973 with his wife Gail.

In October 2013, RE/MAX Holdings Inc. became a publicly traded company and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as RMAX. Dave and Gail Liniger still head RE/MAX, which is headquartered in Denver.

The company came to the Philippines, offering solutions to real estate brokers in a very dynamic market.

The franchises are individually owned and operated, and are run according to the specific demands of its local or regional market.

"The company espouses entrepreneurship. It teaches you how to be in business for yourself but not by yourself," says Perlas, who has 18 years of experience in integrated marketing communications and has worked for some of the country's top corporations before joining RE/MAX Philippines.

RE/MAX Philippines brings to real estate brokers a system that has been proven and tested to work. This system has helped people be their own boss and given them opportunities beyond making money. 

"We want to inspire more entrepreneurs, especially those who believe in what we do and its power to transform lives," says Perlas.

RE/MAX Philippines head office is located at 25th Floor Citibank Tower II, 8741 Paseo de Roxas St., Makati City, Philippines.

Podcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the Internet. The word “podcasting” is a portmanteau combining the words “broadcasting” and “iPod,” a portable music player. Podcasts usually contain talk back radio style content rather than music.

Podcasting is the start of a new media content revolution that is empowering individuals with the ability to globally distribute their ideas. It is no different than a webcast, a show that is broadcast over the web and is broken up into parts or episodes. Most podcasts are similar to news radio programs and deliver information on a regular basis, It is impacting traditional industries such as journalism, education and entertainment allowing anyone to freely create and distribute news and media.
