Locks of Love | A Donate Your Hair Project by JCI-Zugbuana

"Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work." - Mother Teresa

What do Emma Watson, Halle Berry, Khloe Kardashian and Anne Hathaway have in common? They all are sporting short or pixie hair.

The Junior Chamber International Philippines - Zugbuana Chapter is spearheading the Locks of Love: A Donate Your Hair Project for the benefit of Kythe Foundation and ICanServe Foundation Cebu. 




Women and Men who have long hair are challenged to donate their hair for the creation of wigs for Cancer survivors. For every 100 people who would be donating their hair, 10 wigs can be made for these amazing folks. 

If you have short hair like mine or a bit sentimental of their long hair, there is another way of contributing to the project. The cost of making a wig is 750php. Any monetary donation would also go a long way in helping Cancer survivors to feel good about themselves by having these wigs.

The Locks of Love event will be held at SM Seaside Cebu on July 6, 2016, from 1PM-9PM. Hairstylists from Salon de Rose and the Rose Institute will be there on hand to cut and style your hair. There will also be raffle prizes to be given away. 

If you prefer to have your own stylist do the cutting of your hair, you can still donate your hair. Just make sure to tie both ends with a rubber band and place the hair inside a zip lock bag.

Locks of Love Guidelines:

Acceptable for Donation
10 inches long minimum
Straight/Wavy
Rebonded/Relaxed
Solid Colored Hair

If outside Cebu, and you still want to participate, you sure can. Place the ponytail in a ziploc then send to:

JCI ZUGBUANA
c/o Cindy Tesoro
Sodexo Benefits & Rewards Office
2nd Floor BDO Building, North Reclamation Road
Cebu City 6000

If you're up to the challenge and would like to know more about Locks of Love: A Donate Your Hair Project, you can visit their Facebookp Page: @zugslocksoflove.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Guard 3.

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives
