Minuman Beras Perang Mayang is #RawlinsApproves | As an avid coffee-drinker (self-proclaimed much? hahaha), I have always been on the lookout for a great tasting coffee. As we all know that drinking coffee is also good for our health but in moderation ok people. And then a friend introduced Minuman Beras Perang Mayang to me.

What is Minuman Beras Perang Mayang?

• A pioneer in brown rice-based beverage products
• Also a product of healthy drinks
• Distributed by Era D Mansion Sdn Bhd since 2018
• Ms Zainab Sidek, a hardworking single mother is the Managing Director of Era D Mansion Sdn Bhd and she hopes to educate and instil in Malaysians of the benefits of drinking healthy drinks. Thus, Minuman Beras Perang Mayang was introduced. 
• Apart from replenishing energy, the beverage also helps to healthily reduce weight. 

My Honest Review

Here are my honest reviews of the two variants of the healthy drinks by Mayang.

• Minuman Kopi Perang

• The rich aroma of Brazilian coffee beans is very refreshing. 
• A cup of Minuman Kopi Perang certainly makes my day - and I drink it early morning, daily for the past 2 weeks. It certainly keeps me awake and energised throughout the day.
• The taste? It is very rich and fragrant. 
• The price is RM25 for a packet of 10 sachets. 

• My Berry Drink

• The smell is so delicious - it is very fruity. And the pink color certainly catches the eyes.
• You'll get the goodness of berries combined with brown rice in the drink. 
• I realised that I pass gas quite often after consuming the drink. And the 'business' in the toilet is much easier nowadays. 
• Priced at RM27.50 per packet of 10 sachets. 

Now, Era D Mansion Sdn Bhd invites all of us to start having healthy drinks. And you can start by having one of the two variants of healthy drinks that they have. Or if you are like me, just have both of the drinks. You may contact the HQ of Minuman Beras Perang Mayang directly via the links that I have listed below. 

If you prefer to shop online (aren't we all?), just head on to any of the shopping portals and you'll find Mayang's business partners selling the drinks there too. You'll also find that there are partners selling the drinks all over Malaysia - so start searching for the ones near you!

If you are the entrepreneurial type, you may also contact the HQ to know more how to start generating income with these health drinks. Just roger the HQ people ok!

Plant Origins Gives Gifts of Refresh & Reset to All | In the age of global pandemic, everyone needs to have the ability to face the unknown adversities that await. If you are not fully prepared, mentally, physically and spiritually, you'll be exhausted in digesting the everyday issues that the pandemic brought into our lives.

As for me, my bedroom is my sanctuary - my zen zone. I want my bedroom to always smell fresh, looks tidy and will be able to lull me to sleep, a deep sleep one at that too as quality sleep will help our body to heal.

Then I came across a beautiful functional gift box from Signature Market - the Plant Origins Refresh & Reset Aromatherapy Gift Box that promises to help us to refresh and reset using the gift set's content. 

As I am a member of Signature Market, I bought the gift box worth of RM600 for only RM150! Ain't that a steal, dear? 

You want your set? Click here [Plant Origins Refresh & Reset Aromatherapy Gift Box]. In the website, it mentions that the price is at RM300 (ie 50%) but if you sign up to be the Signature Market's member, you'll get the set for RM150 only!

The Plant Origins Refresh & Reset Aromatherapy Gift Box consists of these items:

• Plant Origins Aromatherapy Portable Diffuser x 1 unit
• Plant Origins Refresh & Reset Aromatherapy Room Spray X 1 unit (100 ml)
• Plant Origins Clean The Air Essential Oil Blend X 1 unit (10 ml)
• Plant Origins Uplift Charm Essential Oil Roller X 1 unit
• Plant Origins Refresh & Reset Aroma Stone x 1 unit

After reading the manual, I set up the diffuser set on my bedside table. I usually let the diffuser plays its magic for two hours before setting it off. 

After two hours, my bedroom smells so welcoming and refreshing. The blended aroma of Tea Tree, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Lavender oil lingers in my bedroom and lulls me to sleep effortlessly. I realised that after using the aromatherapy for two weeks, I went to sleep effortlessly - no more tossing and turning in my bed for hours (2 hours at maximum). Waking up to the beautiful aroma of the oil in the morning is very refreshing - making me eager to start my day.

My office practices a rotation basis working days during the pandemic. Working on a rotation basis has its perks and downs too. I love working at home but since most documents are only available physically at the office, it stresses me out when I need to refer to a document urgently. That's when the Uplift Charm Essential Oil Roller comes to the rescue. Just a roll on my temples, it calms me down. And now, I bring the roller anywhere - just to be prepared for whatever stress that might come my way. 

I also love to spray my bedroom with the room spray before I set up the diffuser - just to enhance the smell of freshness and tranquillity in my room. And now, I also bring the spray to the office. I spray once or twice before starting the air-conditioned in the office and walla! I have a refreshing room for the rest of the day.

I was a non-believer of essential oil and diffuser before but now I have already purchased another two bottles of essential oil blends from Signature Market. 

And I bought two sets of the Refresh & Reset box as birthday gifts to my fellow Sagittarius friends! I would say gifting friends with such gifts are very thoughtful - especially when everyone needs to have their own zen zone during these trying times.

What is the life-altering secret?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 3.5/ 5.0 I remembered being awed by the witchery and magic stuff in the first The Craft. But this one tells more drama in the lives of the young witches. Not so much magic stuff in it. I wish for more magic and witch stuff. 

Cast: 3.0/ 5.0 The young actress delivered good performances. Convincing but if more magic stuff were put in, I think it could elevate the performance.

Will I watch it again: Yes. I don't mind watching it again. But I'll watch the first one first.

The movie has a narrator, so you'll keep hearing Chris Rock's voice narrating the movie. 

An orphaned boy lives with his grandmother. His grandmother bought a pet mouse to cheer him up, which he named Daisy. One day in a supermarket, the boy was offered a piece of candy by a strange lady, who has a snake crawls out from her clothes. Luckily nothing happened as his grandmother calls him and the lady disappears. 

When he tells his grandmother about the encounter, his grandmother believes him and tells him that the lady is a witch. She tells him a story about her friend, Alice who was turned into a chicken by a witch when they were little. 

As the witches will never leave a child when they find one, the duo frantically packed their bags and checked-in into a hotel. She tells him the characteristics of a witch - raspy voices, deformed feet without toes, three-fingered claws, wide mouths and nostrils and wear wigs to hide their bald heads. 

Going around the hotel with Daisy, the boy meets Bruno, a chubby kid who loves chocolate. As the boy tries to train Daisy in the grand hall, walked in the Grand High Witch and her coven of witches who happens to stay in the same hotel too. The boy quickly hides under the stage where he gets to see the witches takes everything off that has been hiding their obvious characters. Most of all, he learns that their main mission is to transform all the kids in the world into mice using her 'Mouse Maker' potion. As a demonstration, she lures Bruno with chocolate bars infused with the potion. And in front of the whole coven, Bruno turns into a mouse after he ate the bar.

Running for his life, Bruno runs into a vent where the boy and Daisy were hiding. The Grand High Witch discovers the boy and forcefully turns the boy into a mouse as well. So, the trio runs to safety. In turns out that Daisy was once a girl named Mary and she was also a victim of the witches. 

They talked to the grandmother who understands the situation and quickly tries to help the trio. So, the trio, with the assistance of the grandmother breaks into the Grand High Witch's room, which happens to be below the grandmother's and steals a bottle of the potion. The grandmother tries to formulate the cure based on the potion but failed. 

The trio tries another plan which to put the potion into a broth of pea soup that will be given to the witches during their dinner. All the witches drink the soup and turn into mice, except for the Grand High Witch who recognises the grandmother as the one that got away when she was little. During all the commotion, the trio managed to steal the Grand High Witch's room key. 

Will three little mice and an old grandmother managed to out-best the Grand High Witch's plan?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.0/ 5.0. The movie is very straight forward. Good fight evil and evil wins. But the journey was a pleasant one at that. The movie is fun to watch but if your kids scare easily, you might want to be watchful as there are scenes where the witches could become quite scary. 

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0. Kudos to all actors. They played their parts beautifully. Anne? Octavio? Do you even need to ask?

Will I watch it again: Yes, I will watch it together with my little ones when we are allowed to travel again.

Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay [Movie Review] | And here we are again, another movie that I watched via Netflix. 

And of course, it is a horror movie. 

SYNOPSIS

• Directed by: Frasco S. Mortiz

• Produced by: Charos Santos-Concio, Malou Santos, Lily Y Monteverde, Roselle Y Monteverde

• Production companies: ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc, Regal Entertainment

• Distributed by: Star Cinema, Regal Films

• Running time: 105 minutes

• Rating: TV-14 (For language and some sexual content)

• The movie has received 26 nominations and 4 wins.
• Country: Philippines
• Language: Tagalog

• Tomatometer: 30%
• IMDb: 5.6/10

The movie starts with a girl being turned away from attending her boyfriend's funeral, with the mother accuses her to be the cause of his son's death. Frustrated, the girl went back to her place where her sister asked if she did the 'pagpag', to which she replied she did not as she does not believe in such superstitions. 

Pagpag in this movie refers to the Philippinos belief that one should never go home directly after attending a wake/ funeral since it risks bringing evil spirits or the deceased to one's home. Whereas in Tagalog it literally means 'to shake off the dust or dirt'. 

Cedric, a rich guy with a very short-temper is being grounded by his father after being involved in a fight. Escaping from his house, he drives around mindlessly until she almost runs over Leni, a wake consultant. They fight and Leni unknowingly loses her charm bracelet in Cedric's car. 

After partying with his friends, Cedric decided to head home after argued with Hannah who forced him to be in a romantic relationship with her. Again, driving recklessly, Cedric almost runs over Leni who is arranging a funeral for Lucy's husband, Roman. Unwittingly, everyone who was there violates a superstition ie Hannah whose tears dropped on the coffin, Rico wiped the coffin with a handkerchief, Cedric attended the funeral with an open wound, Dencio stole the money he found under the coffin, Marcelo swept the area where the coffin is and the worst of all, every single one of them did not do the 'pagpag' after the funeral. 

At home, Leni's stepbrother, MacMac starts to see ghosts but since he can't/ won't speak, he just draws 9 figures with a number 8. Then one by one, the unwanted attendees of Roman's wake dies. 

Is 'pagpag' causing all the deaths or is there a darker secret behind it?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.0/ 5.0 This could me being very Asian but I feel close to the movie as the practice is also a norm in my culture (Iban). I love the twists thrown into this movie that will keep you guessing until the end - what is causing all these mishaps?

Cast: 4.3/ 5.0 I love all these characters. They performed beautifully.

Will I watch it again: I don't mind watching it again soon.

The pictures are taken from My Movie World. Thank you.
