Here at UNO, we know men. We really do. And we know that if you have someone as hot and delectable as Dawn Jimenez waiting for you at home or in the office, you'd be hard-pressed to leave either place, right?

Or, because you know where to find her, you'd try to catch her again in her break-out role during THE climactic scene in On The Job, a movie about prisoners exiting prison to become hired hit men for corrupt government officials. Dawn surprised everyone as she took everything off for her wild love scene with Gerald Anderson, whose character didn't get any action for several months. Everything. She didn't even leave the cover on.

Her willingness to be daring however paid off, as Dawn scored her first cover for UNO and an upcoming role in the ABS-CBN afternoon teleserye Moon of Desire.

For UNO's 92 issue, she gets down, dirty and simply delicious for her cover shoot. Donning the teensiest red and black lace lingerie, Dawn nibbles ever so gently or sometimes fiercely on a luscious piece of chocolate in the photos.

She reveals her thoughts on nabbing the role in OTJ and her excitement at being in a new afternoon teleserye with JC De Vera, Meg Imperial and Ellen Adarna.

She wasn't afraid to get all wet and lathered in chocolate for this UNO cover either. Dawn, with a sweet smile that could melt the hardest heart or chocolate, is actually a lover of zombie movies, even the low-budget ones, a fact that will surely get many a guy's attention.

Well, if the first few pages of Dawn's body in chocolate, with chocolate, on chocolate still didn't get your heart pumping (you must be cold-blooded then), perhaps the last spread will get a rise out of you.

Dawn. Chocolate spread ever so messily all over her body. And finger-licking. That should be enough right?

Well, this 92nd UNO issue also has some other articles that will get you excited and blood flowing to other parts of your body.

Like the Places to Dayo For, a food feature that takes you to different kinds of hole-in-the-wall restos from North, South to Central Metro Manila. If you are still hungry after this feature, you can go back for some more Dawn.

Or you can impress your girl with your vast knowledge of wines, especially if all you've been drinking all your life is beer. Your wine expertise is sure to get your girl excited and more...fluid.

And we didn't forget to include a feature in this issue for that other part of you that also does some thinking...your brain. Atom Araullo, the big shot broadcast journalist gets intimate and shares about his rise to fame and how this alpha male manages it all: work, fame, and love.

So go ahead, feel free to grab UNO's 92 issue. Everyone deserves a bite of chocolate-y happiness.

UNO magazine is available in all leading bookstores and magazine stands nationwide.  - The Lifestyle Portal

He instantly enrolled for formal ice skating lessons at the SM Ice Skating rink to hone his craft.  Not long after, he started joining local competitions.

During his formative years as a figure skater, Martinez frequented SM Southmall in Las Pinas and later transferred to SM Mall of Asia, which had a larger skating rink, to continue his training. Despite frequent bouts of asthma,a Martinez never gave up on his dreams to become a professional figure skater. Since he started skating at 8 years old, Martinez has garnered 194 medals and trophies from various international and local competitions.

The entire nation stayed up until the wee hours to watch his performance and to cheer on the lone Philippine bet to the Winter Olympics. In the end, Michael Martinez ranked 19th out of the 24, a great feat for a competitor from a tropical country.

“We are very proud of Michael. He is a shining example to the youth as someone who saw no limits to what he can achieve. He has already inspired millions by following his dream and by competing in the Winter Olympics and will continue to inspire us all as he works towards earning more medals in future Olympic competitions,” SM Prime Holdings President Hans T.

ZEN INTITUTE chief executive officer and founder Dr. Mary Jane Torres reveals that “The very essence, the foundation that makes a medical spa – truly a medical spa is if it is able to fuse, blend, integrate without cutting corners the four elements:

She then enumerates and expounds. “The Aesthetic element which is non-invasive,  include facial contouring, hair treatments, body sculpting, skin rejuvenation, whitening, fillers for lips, nose, cheeks, Botox, carbon laser, and lipo-cryo that use extreme cold temperature to melt body fats without pain.  The Integrative element  applies non-invasive yet protocol-based approaches for various medical treatments is always, always based on a patient’s individual needs. It offers colonics nutrition which is an intravenous procedure done in-clinic for health and wellness within the patient’s body system and combine detoxification, dietary supplements, prescribed medication for  hormonal balance. The Lifestyle element  include body and mind pampering such as nutritional and calorie-burning fitness regimen: Yoga, TRX, RIP 60 and Zumba workouts and counseling  with qualified personal trainers to help those who want to stay active, stretch  and tone their muscles even while undergoing various treatments, while the The Pampering element offers spa treatments and protocols for anti-ageing and weight management are also considered a therapeutic treatment.” Indeed, these essential elements are the very pillars and bedrock…the very foundation that define an authentic Medical Spa.

Everyone hopes of having a long and healthy life ahead. However, not everyone has the strong will and mindset to achieve it, no thanks to their sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits.

That's where Dr. Mary Jane Torres comes in your life.

Torres, medical director of The Zen Institute said, her clinic offers various programs for those who want to shed off unwanted pounds safely.

Torres said, Zen's weight management program includes a carefully monitored and supported nutritional counseling to clients.

Torres believes in achieving that picture-perfect body in a non-invasive way, which includes meal replacement, proper diet, a workout regimen and colon cleansing.

Meal Replacement

Torres said, eating six apples a day is one way to jumpstart your metabolism.

“That’s all you’re going to eat, and drink around 10 to 12 glasses of water. Eat two apples for breakfast, two for lunch and two for dinner. That would really reset and jumpstart your weight management program,” Torres shared.

After that, patients can then proceed to having meal replacements.

"Sometimes, our patients cannot cook healthy meals anymore, so we offer them meal replacements along with nutritional counseling", Torres added.

Aside from nutritional counseling, The Zen Institute also promotes non-invasive procedures to sustain weight loss.

Torres said, her clinic offersLipocryo, a new technology that combines vacuum and specifically controlled cooling technology which reduces fat bulges. With Lipocryo, results can be achieved with up to three sessions every 45 days. Another procedure which Torres also offers her patients isUltralipo.

An alternative to liposuction,Ultralipo offers a way to reduce general and localized cellulite and body volume. It is also known to decrease the size of problem areas by up to two centimeters per session. 

Mesotherapy and L-Carnitine

Another way to help you achieve the body that you dream of is getting L-carnitine injections. L-carnitine plays a major role in the transport of fatty acids and in other important metabolic processes. Aside from that, L-carnitine also fights visceral belly fats which may later on lead to fat gain within the organs such as  the liver, heart or even in muscle.

Aside from fat loss, L-carnitine also improves your recovery from intense training, increases work capacity, prevents diabetes and improves insulin health.
 

Torres said, The Zen Institute offers patients L-carnitine Injections two to three times a week for six weeks to ensure that weight loss is continuous.
 

Another effective fat burning method Zen offers is Mesotherapy.
 

Mesotherapyis composed of multiple injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications, plant extracts, vitamins and other ingredients into subcutaneous fat, specifically targeting adipose fat cells.
 

It is a procedure used for weight loss and body sculpting to reduce, eliminate and contour undesired fat pockets. This method targets the receptors on fat cells that produce lipogenesis or fat production and lipolysis which means fat breakdown.
 

Once injected into the skin, the mesotherapy formula slowly diffuses into the fat, and breaks it down. However, the number of weight loss and body sculpting treatments required varies from person to person.

Colon Cleansing

The Zen Institute offers a new addition into their weight management program.
 

Dr. Torres said, they now offer colon cleansing or “colonics” to clients who are keen on disposing all the negative wastes in the body.
 

Colonics are the gentle rinsing of the colon with warm water, to remove encrusted fecal matter, gas & mucus. 

This allows vital nutrients to be absorbed & leaves you feeling healthy & light.
 

Aside from that, colonics also help retone& reshape the colon which is beneficial especially to those who are constipated.
 

The Zen Institute also offers a coffee cocktail for colonics clients, which can enhance faster metabolism and improve better absorption of nutrients in the body.
 

Using this procedure at least twice a month, clients can lose up to 20 pounds.
 

Workout Regimen

The Zen Institute does not only offer medical procedures to their clients who want to lose and manage their weight. The medispa now offers workout classes for those who want to stay active and have “zen” in their lives. Zen offers yoga, TRX and RIP 60 classes at their newly-renovated Scout Rallos, QC branch.
 

Dr. Torres said, she decided to offer the services to ensure that her clients still get to work out, stretch and tone their muscles while undergoing various treatments from the medispa.

The Zen Institute is located at Ground Floor, Bonifacio Technology Center, 31st St., Corner 2nd Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig (02-856-2027),69 Scout Rallos St., Tomas Morato Quezon City (02-441-1712/02-412-2528) and at the St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center, Maharlika Highway, Bgy. 2, Sto.Tomas, Batangas (+43-778-4811).

Good health and vitality.

For most of us, there is still an endless search for that “magic pill” which can make all our health and beauty concerns go away. However, it doesn’t exist, but the modern medicine has come a long way that it has developed and found many great innovations that can help us aid our health and beauty woes.

Over the last decade, a lot of us were clueless about the functions of colon and what it does to the body. The colon is an organ that plays a very important role in the functions and effectiveness of many other organs.  It is a section of the large intestine that extends from the cecum to the rectum.  It is responsible for the absorption of minerals and nutrients from the foods that we eat, finally, the colon is the main organ that manages the waste production and disposal in the body.

Several studies reveal within the United States alone, at least 90 percent of the diseases are directly or indirectly associated with unhealthy colon. Aside from these health issues, an unhealthy colon prevents our body to absorb the minerals and nutrients that we need.

But when we flush out the toxins from our body, everything improves — we feel and think better, our skin glows, and excess weight drops off.  If you want to get fit and healthy, colonics is one applicable way to do it.

Guided by the philosophy that holistic health is a harmonious combination of medical science, creativity and aesthetic sense The Zen Institute employs a process that is done with the use of the top of the line hydrotherapy machine and licensed doctors. It veers away with the pressures that necessitate the use of invasive and potentially traumatic shortcuts.  Colonics is a process by which the wastes in the body are being removed through a cleansing procedure. A speculum tube (as tiny as .5cm) will be placed into the rectum of the patient, flushing out the wastes of the colon with warm water. This process is what we call as peristalsis, which pushes the feces out through the hose. These wastes include built-up toxins and excretory material that adheres to the walls of the colon.

Many factors are contributing to the accumulation of these wastes. The most common are stress, unhealthy lifestyle and diet, processed meat consumption, refined carbohydrates and sugar, low intake of water, high alcohol and caffeine consumption, and carbonated drinks. With Colonics, these wastes can be removed with continuous session, which maintains the nutrient absorption of the body and enhances the digestion.

The therapy usually lasts from 50 up to 60 minutes. During the therapy, the patient might experience abdominal pain. This is typical because the wastes from the body are being removed from the colon. In some cases, after a session, the patient will excrete the toxins to the body, making him want to go to the bathroom.

At Zen Institute, colonics is also utilized for weight management by giving the colon a coffee cocktail that can enhance faster metabolism but will also improve better absorption of the nutrients needed by the body. With this latest technique done at least twice a month, a person is guaranteed to lose 20lbs in 21 days. Some vegetable pills are prescribed to keep the ‘flora and fauna’ of the colon. Having regular colonics session is recommended for a healthier lifestyle. Also, drinking a lot of water while undergoing the session is needed to prevent dehydration.

Colonics should be employed at least four times a year to facilitate the accumulation of the toxins in the body, however, it can be done weekly specially by those who don’t eat much vegetables, drink alcohol a lot, and have unhealthy diet and lifestyle. A patient who has undergone colonics should maintain a good and healthy diet as this encourages the growth of good bacteria in the body. This will also boost the immune system.

Colonics also reduces constipation, which causes the slow digestive movement of the body. Because the procedure releases toxins, the body will be replenished because it regenerates energy. Those who have undergone this say that they have better blood circulation, peaceful night, and a boost in energy. Cleansing the colon also contributes to an individual’s well being and cognitive response. Weight lose can also be contributed to those taking the treatment because it enhances the metabolism of an individual.

Though colonics is now a popular way of detoxification, certain people should not have the procedure, including those who have intestinal problems such as Crohn’s Disease, blood vessel disease, congestive heart failure, heart disease, severe anemia, abdominal hernia, gastrointestinal cancer, intestinal tumors and ulcerative colitis. Those who have recent colon surgery should also consult a doctor before having the treatment.

Other than detoxification, colonics hydrotherapy is used for rejuvenation by replenishing the lost electrolytes and minerals being infused in the solution pumped through the tubes and being absorbed by the colon.

Get your Colonics program now at The Zen Institute, Ground Floor, Bonifacio Technology Center, 31st Street corner 2nd Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City (856-2027), with branches at 69 Scout Rallos St., Tomas Morato, Quezon City (441-1712; 412-2528), and at the St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center, Maharlika Highway, Barangay 2, Sto. Tomas, Batangas (+43) 778-4811).

Known worldwide as the most beautiful sunset, it has enthralled many people for generations. Depending on your budget, you can sit on the sea wall along Roxas Blvd. and nibble on nilagang mani or sip champagne cocktails by the poolside of the Sofitel with your mama or papa bear, but the stunning sunset remains the same and enlightens your romantic spirits. It’s free and compliments of Mother Nature.

Surrounded by American-era buildings with hallowed halls and a pedagogic past plus 100-year old Acacia trees with outstretched branches that provide shade, the sunken garden is made even more romantic by the rustling of the leaves and the late afternoon sun that penetrates it. Bring a blanket and a picnic basket or simply lay on the grass, hold hands and enjoy your free time.

Feeling scared in a cemetery makes you want to huddle close to your special someone and so any cemetery is a romantic spot. The American Cemetery is leveled up not in scariness but in symmetry of architecture and landscaping. Walk through the wide open spaces at dawn and imagine all the young men buried here who left their loved ones in tears almost 3 quarters of a century ago. As you feel wispy and sentimental, hang on to the arms of your baby baby and make sure to never let go.

Jamboree Lake in Muntinlupa is the smallest natural lake in the Philippines and right outside the perimeter of the New Bilibid Prison, the mini body of water has a small island in its center with Lady Justice reminding all of use that she is blindfolded and indeed, love is blind. Use all your senses and take in all the sights and sounds of this magical lake as you embrace each other and your future dreams of togetherness. Toss a coin on the lake? It’s optional.

It engulfs the San Juan River but it’s entrance is in Horseshoe, Quezon City so you enter thru N. Domingo St. Go past the main building and snake your way through the reservoir. Find your perfect private paradise and watch the sun glisten on the waters, listen to the birds chirping and feel the loving touch of your partner’s hands caress your face. Behold, it’s free and it’s lovely.

So what do you think about these places?! Aren't they romantic?! Which of the five do you love and like the most?!
