Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in "The Internship"

40-YEAR-OLDS IN THINKING PLAYGROUND: 

“THE INTERNSHIP” at GOOGLE CAMPUS

Looks like comedy duo and friends Owen and Vince have found a new thinking playground at the Google campus as featured in the upcoming hilarious movie “The Internship.”

In an interview with EW on his upcoming true-to-the-times relatable comedy “The Internship,” Vince Vaughn admits that there wouldn’t be any film had Google said no to the concept in the first place. 

Vaughn, who serves as co-writer, producer and star of “The Internship” reunite with Owen Wilson about friends in their 40s who get laid off from their jobs. Convinced they’ve gone about managing their careers entirely wrong, they resolve to become interns at a tech company and start anew. Hijinks ensue when Vaughn and Wilson compete against wily, fresh-faced 22-year-olds to advance in the company.

“The Internship” sees Nick (Owen Wilson) and Billy (Vince Vaughn), two old-school salesmen who use old fashioned charm and brilliant sales techniques to sell watches. On the night that they try to close a big sale with a client, to their shock, they find out that their company has been shut down because kids don’t wear watches anymore. Suddenly, they find themselves unemployed as two dinosaurs in the digital world.

To make the situation worse, Billy goes home to find a foreclosure sign on his front lawn and his girlfriend packing her bags to leave him. In the meantime, Nick’s sister offers him a job at a mattress store and he takes it out of despair. After an exhaustive job search online, Billy has Googled everything he can Google. He finally gives up by typing just “Google” into the search box, and finds an opportunity for them to reinvent themselves – with an internship program at Google.

The guys arrive at the Google Campus in Mountain View, California – a world away from anything they have seen before – and are in awe. All the food and drink is free so they load up on coffee and donuts at the “free” coffee cart as if it’s their last meal on earth. On the first day of their internship, they find themselves in a sea of tech-savvy 20-year-olds who they need to compete against to win a full-time position at Google. They team up with Neha, a sexually curious nerd, Stuart, who is obsessed with his cell phone and won’t get off of it, Yoyo, a genius Asian kid that lacks social and common life skills, and Lyle, who is an underdog who wants to fit in. They also meet their nemesis – Graham – an arrogant and aggressive college student who will stops at nothing to win the competition and get the job at Google.

Vaughn wrote the original draft of the story when the US economy was in shambles and most of the people he knew had lost their jobs.  It was that generational sentiment that the skills they have are not significant as it used to be.  And when he saw a portion of what goes inside the Google ‘campus,’ “I thought of taking the characters to this place and give them the chance to work at Google – that felt relatable and rootable,” shares Vaughn.

Google cofounder Sergey Bin checked on the film’s set every now and then which Vaughn is very grateful for – “Everyone at (Google) was very nice and gracious.  But that’s what Google does: You search for something and you find it,” Vaughn concludes.

“The Internship” opens August 14 in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Scarecrows among us

Scarecrows among us

Scarecrows were spotted in various locations in Metro Manila, Davao, and Cebu as part of Enercal Plus’ effort to raise awareness on the misconception that Filipinos may have on their health. Being at the prime of their lives, most 20-30 year olds push themselves to the limit without having to worry about their health, at least not yet. 

Recently, Enercal Plus launched a campaign to jolt this invincibility mindset to create awareness that even if you look and feel healthy, your body could be weak on the inside. Scarecrows, which were meant to represent how weak an adult may be inside, were spotted roaming in shopping malls, busy streets, offices, and even government offices.

Onlookers and passersby who witnessed the scarecrows were given samples of Enercal Plus, and were encouraged to reexamine their lifestyle choices.

“There are people, especially those in their 20’s and 30’s, who don’t make health a priority. Because they can multi-task and are able to stretch themselves without getting sick on a daily basis, they think they are at the best of health, which isn’t always the case,” said Dian Yu, Enercal Plus Brand Manager.

The fact is, we may not see or feel it yet, but we can never be too sure of what is going on inside our bodies.  We try our best to be conscious about our health, but what we do not see from the outside may need more attention. 

There are countless ways to improve health inside and out. The road to good health starts with a positive mindset and the determination to make better life choices. A glass of Enercal Plus daily, along with a proper diet and an active lifestyle, can go a long way.

Enercal Plus, a product developed by Wyeth Nutrition Philippines, contains Nutri-Life Plus, which is a balanced source of 28 essential nutrients for immunity, strength, and heart health. It contains whey and soy protein that is a good source of amino acids needed by the body, which is easily absorbed to support muscle synthesis. Enercal Plus also contains vitamins A, C, and E to support the immune system, calcium and vitamin D for bone strength, and has 0g transfat for a healthy heart.

Rock the Fat away with Xenical

Roche Xenical joins forces with the Philippine Association for the study of Overweight and Obesity (PASOO) in health advocacy campaign to "Rock the Fat Away"

Are you overweight?  Do you go around town walking and always seem to lose your breath, then my friend, you really need to "Rock the Fat away."

A survey in the Philippines shows that almost 25% of Filipino adults are overweight. and about 6% of them are obese, and with the figures of the World Health Organization pegging around 2.8 million adults in the world die of this pandemic, I guess we really have to take this seriously.

The Philippines is now at a rish of having citizens that are overweight, with high risk disease factors such respiratory and heart problems, liver and gall bladder diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer and other factors that may lead to death.

With that in mind Roche Philippines proactively gives us more reasons to rock our way to better days ahead, prevent us from being overweight for a better quality of life.  Thus Roche and Xenical have partnered with the Philippine Association for the Study of Overweight and Obesity to launch a campaign to a better you.

Last April 6, at the Glorietta Activity Center, through a Health Passport Journey, people were shown the proper way to diet, exercise, beauty and wellness and Club New You (newyou.com.ph).  Rockin' workout sessions with coach Joseph Pagulayan, showed us what fitness is all about.

Join Club New You, as it aims to provide guidance for weight loss and achieving a healthy body weight, it has helpful tools such as BMI calculator and calorie counter.  Rewards are earned by entering promo codes found on purchased Xenical packs, which entitles member to special promos and prizes.

Watch the TV commercial, webisodes, a catchy campaign song called "Rock It! (Rock the Fat Away)"  visit www.newyou.com.ph and like the Club New You fan page facebook/clubnewyou.

The Nat Geo Earth Day Run 2013 - Make a difference!

Be part of the Nat Geo Earth Day Run 2013

70% water, 100% life

Our bodies and the earth share one of the most important things that sustain life – water. With both composed of 70% water, humans and the earth share an interest in respectively strengthening our bodies and in being conserved, long enough for future generations to enjoy healthy bodies and a healthy world.

Water is a critical component in ensuring that our bodies are not only hydrated, but also that all essential nutrients are properly circulated throughout our system. As we grow older, we have less water in our bodies; the same thing happens when we become less fit and more fat. One of the easiest ways to stay healthy is to run – not only does it improve circulation, weight loss, and oxygen flow, it also lessens stress. Since running is a strenous activity, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated with the bottled water that empowers you to reach for it – Summit Natural Drinking Water.


While you’re maintaining your fitness levels, why not help save the earth in the process as well? The Nat Geo Earth Day Run 2013 is being held at Bonifacio Global City on April 28, and aims to promote conservation and concern for the environment, while encouraging everyone to run and have fun. In addition to an eco-friendly race using recyclable and energy efficient materials, each registered participant who runs will have three trees planted in their name.

Sign up now and keep your body healthy, and make mother earth happy. Choose from the 3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K categories and make sure that on run day, you are hydrated throughout. Replenish lost fluids naturally with Summit Natural Drinking Water. See you there!
