Camp Hot is a 6-Saturday course composed of a series of sports clinics and activities facilitated by the country’s top athletes and professionals. The goal is to encourage everyone to get hot by staying active and drinking Nestea Fit with L-Carnitine everyday.

You are invited to the kick-off on February 13 to preview the actual event that will start on February 20 at the Fort Open Grounds. Bring as many friends as you can!</blockquote>

I got this Nestea Fit invite and what caught my attention is <a href="http://spikeithard.com/">BEACH VOLLEYBALL</a>!! As you can see from the official Nestea Fit Camp Hot poster below, they are going to offer 8 hot courses or sports. And one of those is going to be beach volleyball. So I said to myself, what? Beach volleyball at Bonifacio Histreet... Where? How? Are there going to be guest athletes to conduct the courses? Hmmm.. this will be very interesting.]]></description>

Beach volleyball at Bonifacio Histreet&#8230; Where? How? Are there going to be guest athletes to conduct the courses? Hmmm.. this will be very interesting.</p>
<p>So I asked the organizers what exactly will be happening but I just got a generic answer. I guess I&#8217;ll just have to pass by the event this Saturday to check it out. Then maybe go straight to The Arena afterwards and watch the <a href="http://spikeithard.com/2010/01/14/uaap-72-volleyball-game-schedule-round-2/">ADMU vs. ADU</a> (UAAP Women&#8217;s Volleyball) match at 4pm. Then go play volleyball with the <a href="http://spikeithard.com/2009/09/07/volleyball-game-date-group/">VGD</a> group at the Blue Eagle gym at 630pm <img src='http://spikeithard.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1989 aligncenter" title="Nestea Fit Camp Hot invite" src="http://spikeithard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/nestea-fit-camp-hot-invite.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="551" /></p>
<p>Other than beach volleyball, I have always been wanting to try out the sport of ultimate frisbee. In fact, I bought a frisbee at Toby&#8217;s a long time ago but never had a chance to actually use it (&#8216;coz even my <a href="http://dogfashionista.com/">dog</a> does not wanna play frisbee with me). I somehow stumbled upon this blog post on the net that&#8217;s apparently related to this Nestea Fit Camp Hot event:</p>
<blockquote><p>Taken from <em>http://www.philippineultimate.org/pua/2010/02/nestea-fit-camp-hot/</em>:</p>
<p>What: Nestea Camp Hot<br />
When: Feb 20, Feb 27, March 6, March 13, March 20 and March 27<br />
Why: Because the winning team gets to go to Boracay in April for the culminating activity — all expenses paid! Among the activities are: aside from ultimate, there will be volleyball, yoga, hip hop classes and flag football</p>
<p>P150 registration fee; comes with a Nestea tumbler =)</p>
<p>Slots Available:</p>
<p>9:00 – 11: 00 am 5 SLOTS<br />
11:00 – 1:00pm 10 SLOTS<br />
1:00 – 3:00 pm 8 SLOTS<br />
3:00 – 5:00 pm 7 SLOTS </p>
<p>Register via emailing puaboard[at]gmail. com</p></blockquote>
<p>Ummm&#8230; so does this mean that there will also be a sort of tournament for beach volleyball and the winning team will go to Boracay for free? This makes Nestea Fit Camp Hot even more exciting then! But then again, we&#8217;ll find out for sure what this is all about on Saturday. I think this is open to all. So If you&#8217;re planning to join the fun, make sure you come in sports attire!   </p>
<p>I really love this Nestea commercial by the way&#8230;</p>

Their president Mr. Francis Simisim, has been promoting the business for almost three years now and Blue Water Day Spa has indeed come a long way. They now have a total of <a href="http://www.bluewaterdayspa.com/contact.asp">6 branches</a> all over Metro Manila and are still expanding.

Francis (who is actually just 24 -- I learned about this after reading a feature article on this month's Entrepreneur issue), is doing another online contest for bloggers to promote the spa. Last time, I joined their <em>Spa Movie Theater</em> contest and <a href="http://weekendtrekker.com/2009/02/spa-movie-theatre-at-bluewater-day-spa/">my blog post entry</a> was one of the lucky winners!! But unfortunately I was too busy at that time and wasn't able to attend the free spa treatment.

<p>To join the content, I simply have to answer the question: <em>What service would you like to do in BlueWater Day Spa Capitol Hills and why? </em></p>
<blockquote><p>MY ANSWER: I would definitely be thrilled to experience their new deep tissue massage called the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Athlete&#8217;s Massage (Php850)</strong></span>. This has been specially developed by Blue Water Day Spa to cater to active sports-oriented men and women. I heard this was conceptualized in collaboration with PBA basketball coach Alfancis Chua (of Sta. Lucia). To quote from the Entrepreneur feature article: <em>&#8220;[Athelet's Massage] focuses on the pressure points that are important to any sportsman, stretching the body to get the athlete ready for the next game or practice&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>Just recently, I&#8217;ve just started playing badminton with fellow blogger-friends every Tuesdays 9-11pm at West Drive Badminton Center in Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig. And guess what, Blue Water Day Spa Capitol Hills is just around the corner. I would love to drop by Blue Water Day Spa one time before going to my weekly badminton gig.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so the last time I went to the <em>Buhay Coke</em> party at the SM Mall of Asia I got constipated for a whole week. And that was because they gave away cases of Coke Zero (in cans) for all the registered participants. There were 3 of us who registered, so that&#8217;s a total of 3 cases. That&#8217;s a lot of Coke!! Our fridge was like a vendo machine full of Coke. </p>
<p>The parteeh! was entitled &#8220;Buhay Coke ng Bloggers with SM Hypermart&#8221; and it happened last July 4 at Taste of Asia (in Mall of Asia). You can check out some photos during the last Buhay Coke event over at <a href="http://aileenapolo.blogspot.com/2008/07/buhay-coke-party-ulit-announcement-of.html">Aileen&#8217;s blog</a>. They also had this <a href="http://smhypermarket.blogspot.com/2008/06/buhay-coke-video-blog-contest.html">Buhay Coke Video Blog Contest</a>. Winners will be announced during the upcoming Buhay Coke Part Part 2. Here are the details:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>What:</strong> Buhay Coke ng Bloggers Party Part 2<br />
<strong>When:</strong> August 8, 2008, Friday, 6:00 p.m. onwards<br />
<strong>Where:</strong> Taste Asia at the SM Mall of Asia<br />
<strong>Wassup?</strong>: Announcement of winners and just simply to parteeh the Taste Asia way!<br />
<strong>How:</strong> <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pPn7Sq30Ks1nH_adg5zBAdg&#038;email=true">Register here</a>.  </p>
<p>There&#8217;s room for 500 people!
</p></blockquote>
<p>So if you wanna get constipated on a Friday night along with fellow bloggers and friends, then drink lots of Coke at the Buhay Coke Party on August 8. </p>
