Living The Dream of A Roxy Girl: Airgurus' Kitesurf Chick Paula Rosales

Since late 2010, Airgurus has been the official air taxi of Philippines' ace kitesurfing babe, Paula Rosales. We have brought her a couple of times to Boracay via our helicopters and our executives would watch her compete and win competitions. 

A true water baby, Paula started swimming for her school at an early of 10 and then immersed herself into water sports and board sports in the later years. From skim boarding where she competed and won a few, she discovered another board sport called cable wake boarding. It was there that she got noticed by big industry names and eventually, she became the first brand architect of Republ1c Lifestyle Store which represents international brands in the surf, skate and wake boarding industry in the Philippines. 

After graduating in college, she got busy in the corporate world and that kept her away her friends in long trips to catch waves. It was last year that Paula decided to rest her work career and settled in living with the lifestyle she always love and have placed aside. As she goes back to water where she belonged, she continued to write for lifestyle magazines covering surf, skate, wake and kite competitive events, parties and activities around Asia. 

For a year, Paula Rosales was seen kitesurfing on windy days, doing ashtanga yoga before breakfast, scuba diving during hot, windless summer days all over the Philippines and backpacking all over Asia, Europe and wherever the waters and the wind would call upon her.

Recently, Paula won 2nd place in the Women's Freestyle Kiteboard Tour Asia Championships 2012 held in Thailand.

Paula will be away from the Philippines for awhile. Currently in San Francisco preparing to join 2 international competitions, an Asian Tourney to join in Turkey this September and a kitesurf movie to shoot in Greece this year, she will be representing the country and Airgurus in all her activities.

What's new with our kitesurf chick in San Francisco? She recently joined the global search for "Live The Dream Of A Roxy Girl" and we at Airgurus, are behind her in living that dream! Please vote for Paula Rosales by clicking her  official entry SUNSHINE SMILE! 

From Airgurus Ltd. Co., best of luck, Paula! We love you and we are very proud of you! In our hearts, you deserve to win!

Capt. Harry Lero on our 858th Medical Evacuation Mission

Last week was our CEO | Chief Pilot's birthday. Instead of us celebrating his birthday the night before, Captain Harry Lero and our medical flight crew had to get some good rest since they were scheduled to fly to San Carlos City, Negros Occidental. The mission... to immediately transport a critically injured motorcycle accident victim to an apt facility in Manila via one of our air ambulance helicopters.

When it comes to saving one's life, Captain Lero puts himself first on the line thus; making the preparation to celebrate his own birthday on the same day becomes impossible for us at Airgurus.We all celebrated it with him the next day. Other special occasions like Valentines, Christmas and New Years with him is also quite impossible as he always has to do his missions. We can't complain... as Airgurus Ltd. Co. is the best provider of air ambulance transport.

The mission to transport the motorcycle accident victim from San Carlos City, Negros Occidental marked his 858th medical evacuation flight in the Philippines. Yes... our 858th successful mission.

Captain Harry Lero is good brother to his siblings, a good son to his parents, a good father to his children, a good boss to us at Airgurus, a good and humble friend to everyone... but not too many knows that he is... our everyday hero in the Philippines.

As of writing and as of today we are on our 862nd medical evacuation mission.

Health Tips From Our Medical Flight Crew: Take Care Of Your Heart

We have had numerous cases of patients with heart diseases all over the country flown from either homes or the hospital and brought to medical facilities of their choice in Manila. This is one of the reasons why we haven't updated our blog lately. We have been very busy saving lives.

The numbers are growing in the Philippines and is the leading cause of death. Last month alone, we have conducted 17 medical evacuation missions for heart-related cases thus; we at Airgurus Ltd. Co., can't help but be concerned and give some friendly advise to our followers here and on Facebook on how to take good care of your heart:

1. Stop smoking or use tobacco
In a country where we do not really have strict banning of cigarettes, smoking or using tobacco is found to be one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease. The chemicals in tobacco damages heart and blood vessels leading to narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to a heart attack. When it comes to heart disease prevention, no amount of smoking is safe. Smokeless tobacco and low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes also are risky, as is exposure to secondhand smoke. Social smokers are not even spared.

2. Exercising for 30 Minutes a Day
A regular, daily exercise can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. Combining physical activity with other lifestyle measures is always of great help.  Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may be a factor in heart disease. Swimming is one of the best and highly recommended on exercises.

3. Eating a hearty but healthy diet
Eating foods that are low in fat, cholesterol and salt is a good start. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products can help protect your heart. Beans, other low-fat sources of protein and certain types of fish also can also reduce risk of heart diseases. Limiting certain fats consumption also is important.
Heart-healthy eating isn't all about cutting back. Most people need to add more fruits and vegetables to their die with a goal of five to 10 servings a day. So eat a lot of fruits! Eating that many fruits and vegetables can not only help prevent heart disease, but also may help prevent cancer. On decreasing risks of heart attack, some fish like salmon and mackerel are good natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acid (a type of polyunsaturated fat).

Since it's still the love month, we encourage you to love... love yourself and please take care of your heart. Should you or your loved ones need us though in crucial times and would require an air ambulance helicopter for transporting you to the nearest and apt medical facility, contact our 24/7 hotlines +632 781 2707 | +632 781 0787 | +63 920 955 0897 | +63 908 888 6829 and +63 917 596 6288.

The meteoric success of 2CELLOS started when former cello rivals Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser decided to join forces. In January 2011, they uploaded a unique duo cello version of “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson onto YouTube. Within just a few weeks, their video became a huge viral sensation, receiving over 5 million views from across the world.

A month later, 2CELLOS signed a record deal with SONY MASTERWORKS. They were invited by Sir Elton John to join him on his worldwide tour playing with and opening for him. Their self-titled debut album was released worldwide in the summer of 2011 achieving top 200 Billboard status in the US, #1 iTUNES Germany, and #1 on the Japan imported albums (ahead of such distinguished artists as Beyonce, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Lady Gaga). They have appeared on national television shows including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Lopez Tonight and Fox & Friends in the U.S., as well as Stefan Raab’s TV total in Germany. Most recently, they were invited by Apple to perform their own show at the Roundhouse in London as part of their prestigious iTUNES festival that was streamed globally.
