Cleaning up my act as I turn Dirty Thirty!

So... this post about me reaching 'Dirty Thirty' had been in the 'drafts' section until one year after, now that I am turning 31 already! Wow, time really flies by so fast, so these were the magical moments I spent with my son at the City of Dreams in celebration of me reaching the dreaded three oh! We looked like Smurfs, who could make really yummy gingerbread men! These poor gingerbread men were devoured in two bites! 

If only my little buddy boy here and I can simply have fun and play all day! Nah, I need to work harder for my dreams and for my son's future; and my beloved boy needs to study hard to be like Megamind!

Thank you, Lord for all of my blessings! For the ability to afford an overnight stay at City of Dreams and an unforgettable time at Dreamplay! Also for supporting us and once in a while allowing us to savor the finest things that life has to offer!

Happy Birthday to me! This young man is the greatest gift I have ever received from God, and I pray that he also cherishes my presence in his life as one of his most meaningful gifts too... 

And here's a throwback to about two or three years ago, when I also checked into a hotel to celebrate my birthday, with the same love of my life, only smaller and much lighter and the same goes for me as well...

I will soon be 31, and I pray that life continues to be kind and wonderful, allow me to be a step closer to my dreams and most of all, equip me to help my son achieve the bright future that he deserves! But for now, let us all click on below for more of my hosting adventures!

Ready, G.E. go!

 So blessed to host the annual dinner and dance, the annual thanksgiving gala of one of the most esteemed companies in the world, G.E. (General Electric) here in the Philippines!

I loved its eccentric, avant-garde theme, reminiscent of pop superstars Lady Gaga and Sia! Or, the Hunger Games cast could very well fit into this theme's party too... 

And here are some more amateur video clips of me hosting this unforgettable night!

I hope I looked eccentric enough, LOL. Well my hairdo surely did! 

Lastly, here's my opening video... Cheers!

Chase away the sadness and chill at Sweet Madness!

It was the best Sunday ever! One of my best friends and our kiddos discovered this wonderful place in the Eastside of Manila, Sweet Madness Cafe and Kitchen! For starters, check out my yummy drink, the kind that truly warms the heart, the tummy and even gives a feast for the eyes... look at that awesome latte art on my mocha latte... 

 Spiderman would love that mocha latte art design for sure! And I just had to put this salted caramel cake on my face. Seconds after I took this photo, the cake is history. It was so good; I loved the soft chiffon cake underneath all this salted caramel delight! 

 See those yummy pretzels, chocolate wafer sticks, kitkat fingers, creme, chocolate cookie crumbs and the devilish milk chocolate drizzle? It is just madness! Pure... splendid... amazing... crazy... chocolatey Sweet Madness!!! 

I absolutely loved how the love of my life, my sweet Matty enjoyed everything about Sweet Madness Cafe x Kitchen! He doesn't like girly stuff, but he did not mind this teddy bear lounge at all! Apart from the great food, we all loved the ambiance. Sweet Madness Cafe x Kitchen in Taytay Rizal is Truly the best hangout for the whole family. Bring your best friends and work buddies along, too! 

And below is Mackey, one of my son's official BFFs... they both enjoyed the lasagna and the smoothies... My Matty got strawberries and cream, and here's Mackey enjoying the cookies and cream smoothie in a very cute container... 

And since I loved the latte art so much, here it is again... but trust me, it tastes far better than it looks... 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you visit Sweet Madness Cafe x Kitchen in Taytay, Rizal soon. And now, for more of my adventures as an events host, please do click on the links that follow below:

The night I hosted for a gold mine of beauties: The Miss Teen Bansud Mindoro pageant!

Exhilarated! This was exactly how I felt with the buzz going to and from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro and going back to Manila again for my other commitments! I was very tired and I lacked sleep altogether, but this was one priceless experience; truly one for the books! 

Meet Max. This dapper dude right here is Max Closa, events host extraordinaire and my gentleman-partner for this memorable night. Our rapport onstage was as though we've been hosting together for a while, when it's our first time to meet each other! And, it was also my first time to be in Bansud, Mindoro, but he made me feel right at home...  

 It was one stormy, rainy evening, but nothing can stop the grandest, most breathtaking show that the entire Mindoro, not just people of Bansud look forward to. I would like to thank Mayor Angel Saulong and BJ Saulong for inviting me! Unfortunately I don't have photos with them (actually I wasn't able to take any pro photos) I only got this snap, with the Vice Mayor of Mindoro above... 

 And of course, I needed to interview one of the judges of the evening, the very handsome and brilliant Arthur Saulong, perhaps the future Mayor of Bansud Mindoro? 

 I loved this night... felt like a beauty queen myself too, just for one night! And the best part? The Question and Answer portion! With one of the lovely candidates below, looking all pensive as a tough question was being asked by one of the judges of the pageant... 

Move over, Victoria's Secret Angels! These beauties paraded in amazing costumes too that spoke of the trade and traditions of Bansud, Mindoro! I am going bananas with this particular look... yes, Bansud is a HUGE producer of different kinds of bananas... 

So blessed I was to spend one scintillating night with the most beautiful ladies from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro, as the co-emcee for Miss Teen Bansud 2017! It was so glamorous at every turn! I had first dibs on the crown, the Q&A, the list goes on! Photos below are a bit hazy, but each moment of that fabulous night is crystal clear to me!

Cast me when I call: welcome to the SM Kids Fashion casting call!

It's not everyday you get to walk on the runway. That's reserved for the supermodels and beauty queens. But I'd say that I've carved out my own runway, as a professional events host. And the events most special to me are certainly the ones where I can bring along my sweet blessing, Matty! 

Okay, so this is not my usual post about myself hosting and the people I've met during my hosting gig... this is more about this boy, this time... hmm... how's that for a first timer? Check out my son's model pose above... and below, he does the 'dab' move, because he's really, really shy and well, also feeling cheeky at the same time! 

And I also wasn't able to take much photos and videos as I was quite busy that weekend... but thanks so much to photographer extraordinaire, Mr. Rogine Rogelio for sharing his awesome photos with me! Now, to cap this blog post about this extra special adventure, I would like to caption the photo below this with just two words, "My Strength."

Thanks for dropping by today! Please visit my only other official sites too, ok?

I am Woman, hear me Roar! And hear me Raj as I share the stage with beauty queen, Venus Raj!

The past lovely month of March acknowledges the power of women, as we continue to March forward. Malls come up with their very own events, and I too have been able to host a few events that celebrate the Women of today. I would say the cherry on top of my March projects would be #BeautyinMe event featuring no less than beauty queen (and who became a worldwide sensation when she popularised 'Major,major,' Ms. Venus Raj! 

 So, I may look like a dwarf beside this towering beauty queen, but this event has taught me that True Beauty knows no size, weight, colour, height and all the many other restrictions. True Beauty comes out when you learn to be and love who you are...

And... even the boss of the mall is a stunningly gorgeous lady! Here she is awarding Tom Epperson and Venus Raj the plaques of appreciation for their astounding support towards this cause... 

Apart from meeting Venus Raj, as well as these extraordinary women featured in the exhibit and whose beauty transcends just the physical, I also got to work with the man behind the lens who sees the distinct beauty in each of these ladies, and he is no less than one of the most respected photographers in the region, Mr. Tom Epperson. 

 I just had to pose with Tom Epperson. But more than just photo master, Tom and I in this photo, do check out our backdrop... those are his snaps on canvas of these empowered, beautiful women featured in the exhibit, whose unique physical beauty he was captured on the lens.... Each subject told a very special story that defined her and her wonderful role in life. Beautiful faces with even more beautiful stores to tell! 

And now, it's time for an Empowered Woman Groupfie! Cheers!!!

Now, please indulge me as I share some photos... not taken by Tom Epperson, but still captures that happiness I had hosting this meaningful affair. I think that in this moment, I was truly beautiful... 

Thank You once again to my good Lord, and to the love that manifests by way of friends and clients who continue to believe in my capabilities as an events host / emcee and speaker.

Decades and decadence: the scintillating Alorica year-end party I hosted with Sam YG!

First time for me to share the stage with one of the most super-celebrity hosts in the country, the amazing Mr. Sam Gogna, or more popularly known as Sam YG! This was such a big-time event, and I had to make sure I came fit for its theme, "Decades."

This was the best look I could muster, a bit of Flapper-inspired, all while sticking to Alorica Philippines' royal blue and orange corporate hues... hope you like it as much as I loved styling myself and playing dress up for this superb occasion!

 Here I was leading one of the raffle draws along with one of the employees of Alorica... 

 The night was so grand. This time, apart from the Alorica employees, Sam and I welcomes some of the VIPs of Alorica, especially their president, Mr. Bong Borja, on the microphone exciting everyone with the really, really grand surprises still to come their way...

And here was the standee to our dressing / holding area... awww, I feel so special to have my name not just alongside Sam, but also two of the country's hottest, most popular bands ever! South Border has been around since the '90s too; ask a '90s kid like me!

I also did my own hair and makeup as I wanted the look to be perfect for the night's theme! I had in mind the elements of Great Gatsby as I prepared for this event... 

And here was one of my favorite solo snaps of this night... 

And the same shot in black and white... for that added "decades" feel... What do you think is nicer?

It was not just an honor to host alongside SamYG... it was also a ton of fun! 

And of course I saw a few old friends, especially this lovely young lady, my high school mate... she is working for Alorica now, and I am so happy to bump into her this evening! 

Thanks for dropping by my blog today! Hope to see you here again, Sam other time!

Hope you can visit my other official sites too, to glimpse my growing array of hosting gigs!
