Thus, giving health and safety, budget and convenience giving due consideration, here are some smart travel tips from RedDoorz Hotels:
- Research. Doing initial research about your travel destination—including attractions, must-try dishes, and basic health protocols—will help assure a seamless journey.
- Travel light. Try to bring as little as you can and plan your OOTDs wisely, so a smaller luggage will suffice. You don’t need to bring fancy shoes or bling if you’re heading for a hike.
- Check the weather. The weather could make or break your vacation, so be sure to check forecasts days before your trip. Plan your outfits accordingly and bring that extra windbreaker or a large hat to protect you from the cold or the heat.
- Be prepared for any emergency. Bring extra cash for meals in case your flight gets delayed and pack a first aid kit or needed medication.
- Follow your passion. If you’re a foodie, sign up for walking food tours or go during food festivals. You might want to ask about popular local fare and have a taste of it for the first time. Are you a photographer? Research about the most popular and authentic places, architecture, landscapes, and views so you could have subjects to add to your portfolio.
- Seek out the road less traveled. Don’t limit yourself to popular tourist destinations. Go off the beaten path where you could discover quaint neighborhood hangout spots, a hidden stretch with artistic murals along back streets, or factories that offer unique handmade souvenirs. Be audacious! Explore!
- Design a budget and stick to it. Traveling within a budget does not necessarily mean having an austere travel experience. If you have travel rewards program, use it. Choose your activities wisely, including meals, ridesharing, and group discounts. Look for budget-friendly flights.

Slam Dunk is a hit manga and anime series created by Takehiko Inoue, who also wrote and directed the upcoming film. The series tells the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a high school delinquent who goes head over heels for the girl Haruko Akagi. Upon learning that Haruko likes watching basketball, Hanamichi joins the school’s basketball team despite his lack of knowledge about the sport. But since Haruko is already obsessed with the ace rookie, Kaede Rukawa, the arrogant Sakuragi does not waste a second in creating a rivalry between himself and his own teammate.

Slam Dunk was first released as a manga in 1990, and was adapted into an anime series that ran from 1993 to 1996. Four films have also been released during the series’ run, with the last movie released back in 1995.

Family Recipes Inspire Tinapayan Festival to Recreate Favorite Desserts for its Customers

Over the past years, it has been known that Filipinos not only enjoy consuming food but are also avid chefs and bakers when it comes to cooking for their loved ones Tinapayan Festival, a local bakeshop in Manila offering soft and sweet baked products for over 40 years, is no stranger to that.

Tinapayan Festival’s Adelaida’s Torte is a tribute to its founder Lucito ‘Chito’ Chavez’ late mother, Adelaida “Diday” Chavez.

While the bakeshop’s patrons come back for its bestsellers like ensaimada, cheese rolls, eclairs, napoleones, and its slew of over 200 baked products, nothing stops them from sharing and recreating family recipes so that more Filipinos can enjoy delectable treats made from the heart.

“It was always a dream of ours to share what we have not only in the knowledge and skills in baking but as well as the family recipes we have grown to love. Our customers are very dear to us and our growth, so it is just right to share products that are inspired by our own family recipes and memories,” shares Lucito ‘Chito’ Chavez, Founder and General Manager of Tinapayan Festival.

Fit for a Queen

In 2020, Tinapayan Festival offered for the first time its bestselling Queen’s Chocolate Cake, which was launched at a time when Mother’s Day was just around the corner. It is made with the finest Couverture chocolate and the highest quality cream. The team behind Tinapayan Festival answered a growing need for celebratory cakes during Mother’s Day when the Philippines underwent its first lockdown back in 2020.

Queen’s Chocolate Cake

“When most of the local bakeries across Manila closed shop in 2020, we had to stay open to serve the community in need. We received a lot of inquiries for special cakes and thought why not create a premium chocolate cake befitting a queen for our deserving mothers. Using premium chocolate depicts how special our mothers are for us and we knew that our customers would love it, too,” says Potenciano Clarito Chavez, Operations Manager of Tinapayan Festival.

Aside from it being created in honor of Queen Elizabeth, this premium chocolate cake was also made in honor of the hard work, commitment, and love the family had for Maribel “Belen” C. Chavez, one of the co-founders of Tinapayan Festival and the wife of Chito.

Celebrating Fond Memories

It’s not enough to just celebrate with good food. Oftentimes in Filipino culture, celebrating a small or big win, a birthday, anniversary, or anything else for that matter entails having a great dessert to top of a joyous occasion. This month, Tinapayan Festival launches its Adelaida’s Torte, its special torte made of meringue with chopped nuts, filled with chocolate ganache using premium quality couverture chocolate, butter icing, and caramel, and topped off with rich butter icing made specifically for the dessert.

Nanay Diday with Tinapayan Festival Founder and GM Lucito ‘Chito’ Chavez

Inspired and a tribute to the founder’s late mother, Adelaida “Diday” B. Chavez, who loved planting cacao beans that were later then made into local Batangas tablea the family gave out as gifts to friends and relatives back in the day. It was just recently when the Chavez family decided to create a chocolate torte taking inspiration from Nanay Diday’s love for chocolate.

Nothing beats family recipes

Meals are much more special when based on recipes that have been passed down by ancestors. The legacy they leave behind remains in delectable treats and baked goods that leave the heart and tummy happy.

Nanay Diday’s Special Polvoron

This month, Tinapayan Festival revives its special polvoron now dubbed, Nanay Diday’s Special Polvoron, which was based on Nanay Diday’s homemade polvoron recipe and features full cream powder, which complements all the other ingredients and ensures that each flavor is tasted by consumers.

Nanay Diday was known back in the 60s for molding polvoron using her hulma purchased in Escolta. This specific hulma was used by her family up until the late 80s and was kept as a reminder for the family for all the years Nanay Diday gave to creating handmade polvoron that she served not only to her family but to close friends as well. This time around, the bakeshop has improved on the traditional family recipe to introduce this special polvoron.

Supporting Local Farmers

Planting has been one of Nanay Diday’s hobbies in the past. One staple agricultural product she time and time again planted and used for her recipes was the all-time Filipino favorite, ube.

Ube Loaf

Growing up exposed to ube being incorporated and cooked as a staple dessert at home, Chito was inspired in the early 2000s to create and incorporate this agricultural crop into their soft and sweet breads at Tinapayan Festival. Two of the products they created inspired by Nanay Diday’s love for ube are Tinapayan Festival’s Ube Loaf and Ube Twirl.

The Ube Loaf is the bakeshop’s twist to the soft and moist bread with real ube halaya, low protein flour, eggs, milk, and refined sugar. Meanwhile, the Ube Twirl features real ube halaya filling, perfect for those on-the-go and want something that’s ready and easy to eat any time of the day.

Use Twirl

MultiVitamin Charged Complex provides essential building blocks like Vitamins A, B3, B5, C, and E—all of which help maintain intense nourishment and protection for your skin.

To ensure these sexifying vitamins and ingredients stay with you, Deep Absorb Technology helps penetrate through the skin’s 10 layers for deep hydration and nourishment to bring out that healthy and sexy skin from within.

Finally, through HydroBoost Technology, every application of Avon Skin So Soft Supercharged Multivitamin Hand & Body Lotion with SPF 6 ensures a healthy dose of Hyaluronic Acid and Marula Oil that instantly locks in and boosts moisture.
