Christmas Lights and Sights at Robinsons Place Las Pinas!

Christmas is in the air! I can say that I had such an awesome year when it comes to the Events Host side of me. From packed Halloween gigs, I am now experiencing Christmas affair hosting in full throttle and I am far from complaining! Please check out the video of this mesmerising event at Robinsons Place Las Pinas:

I am so thankful that the Good Lord continues to bless me with energy to take on the things I love! So, for my first of many Christmas events, I got the pleasure of leading the Christmas lighting ceremonies and Jungle Book Holiday Photo Wall Launch in Robinsons Las Pinas! Hope you like my shimmering & splendid sequined dress! 

And of course, with the esteemed guests, starting with celebrity performer, Jerome Ponce, and our VIPs from the local government and Robinsons Mall Management: 

From the photo wall on the second level, we all flew back down to the event hall again... 

So much love and joy to share this day... Merry Christmas, kids and to the kids-at-heart too!

Photo above: Me with teen heartthrob Jerome (who is young enough to be my baby brother) and beyond this Selfie were his many lady fans who were ready to claw at us just to touch their idol.. it was beyond crazy!!!

So many more events this Christmas season that I haven't written about thanks to a very blessed and packed schedule! But I ain't complaining! In fact, I have never been this busy and something tells me this is only the beginning! Wishing us all love, joy and the fulfilment of our many dreams - one exciting dream at a time!

My SPOOK-Tacular time as Jungle Queen for SM Makati Halloween!

Welcome to my SPOOK-tacular jungle party! See those arches? These tricky tree branches lead all the way to another awesome Howl-o-ween party! So in my last two events I was a fairy, and then I was a mummy (Queen of the Nile) and now, I am queen of the spooky Jungle right here at SM Makati! Can you spot my other wicked lady friend below, you know her as Maleficent... 

This blog is up today, Friday the 13th and this completes my Halloween Hurrah! A Hallo-WINNER I was indeed this previous season, for I was able to emcee for tons of Halloween events and parties! This one was for SM Makati, where I had tons of fun! But before my crazy photos, let me share my video clip as I gladly did the roar-call as queen of the party jungle scene; just click my video below (Warning: I am wearing long, freaky Halloween lashes so brace yourselves; Graphic Craziness indeed): 

MARYLAINE VIERNES - SM MAKATI VOICE OVER CLIP

And of course I shared the happiness with the kids and the kids-at-heart there too; I guess that there will always be that little kid in me swinging from tree to tree, only this time, it's my microphone that I get to swing around! 

Thank you so much, SM Makati for letting me host your awesome events for the third straight year now! Love being an events host (and I love the treats and fringe benefits that go with my uncanny talking tricks!)

DOH you wanna party with us? We had PLAY-DOH Purple and Blue in the house too! 

Thanks for visiting and this wraps up my Halloween hosting saga for soon, comes the Holiday hosting craze! I am just so excited to 'sleigh' (slay) in my next Christmas hosting jobs! Don't forget to click these links below...

Masquerade and Memories: Richprime Global's 35th Anniversary Celebration

I have so much to be thankful for as I look back to one of my most recent hosting gigs - for Richprime Global Inc. the largest toy distributor in the Philippines, with their flagship brands being Mattel's world-famous Barbie, Hot Wheels, Monster High and Fisherprice! 

I was so honored to co-emcee with Jess Villamor as we donned our best ball attires! Let me talk about the magic and the happiness through my fabulous snaps! Also, more photos at my latest site, thanks to my good friend at Marylaine Viernes, Events Host (E-Portfolio)

And of course, much love and thanks to Ms. Delby Bragais, creator of the beautiful golden Princess Barbie gown I wore that night. I have also started reading her book which she so kindly autographed as well, "The Purple Pig wears Red Lipstick." She is one of the country's top designers and one of the most respected elite group of image consultants. Be it planning your dream wedding, fashion advice or your way to a much-needed makeover, she is just a phone call away! Click this to visit her website: Delby Bragais, AICI CIP

KONG-quering new heights with the amazing Mr. Francis Kong

So happy to be working with my newest events family, WildFire and my first project with them is an awesome project for Nestle, with no less than the amazing Francis Kong! You already know who Mr. Kong is; one of, if not the most respected lecturer/speaker and entrepreneur in the country, who inspires everyone with his amazing wit and accomplishments, but most of all since he walks the talk, thru his exemplary lifestyle. 

While he is such an amazing guy (with his supportive wife, Ms. Lilia Kong who is kind and equally amazing too), he and his family exude humility and glee even in the simplest things. It was a very quick shoot, and a great way to spend the weekend too! 

 Serious anchorwoman for this memorable weekend shoot... Loving my look for this project!

 The works: green backdrop and the boom mikes that later on transformed into a real studio! 

This was a very fun project and while I am not allowed by the producers to share any part of the clip here, we did snap a few BTS where I got the rare opportunity of picking the brilliant mind of Mr. Francis Kong! Below is a collection of my fave BTS starstruck/bloopers/kulitan photos: 

Thank you and I look forward to more successful projects with the amazing Wildfire team soon!

Truly Grateful to Total Girl Magazine

When I scream "I love Total Girl," I TOTALLY mean it. And every time I grab an issue of TG Magazine, I can't help but feel so happy and optimistic. So you can only imagine my delight of being part of this month's issue! 

Thank you TG for opening up a wonderful world for me. More than this feature (and something special to add in my portfolio as an event host), I am so thankful that after my TG Hosting gigs, I also have hosting projects with other Summit Media brands such as Good Housekeeping and Entrepreneur Magazine. 

So please hurry and stack up on Total Girl Magazine issues this month, and make it a monthly habit! Sharing my fave reads in the July 2015 issue: 

You know it! I love accessorising (and I need to, when I emcee events to stand out a bit) and another thing that I love is hearing advice from another point of view. Plus, even at this age, we encounter the same issues that hark back to when we were teens (as the song goes: same script, different cast), so reading advice from these awesome TG ladies really helps - they were truly wise beyond their years! And lastly, this page below features Patty and Sophia - two sweet Total Girls I met during my interview along with Nix and the lovely TG Managing Ed, MM De Mesa! 

I love Total Girl Forever!! Check out our fun BTS group photo with the exceptional TG team at the Summit Media Headquarters...

Let's get it on with EPSON!

Thankful for the chance to be the master of ceremony once more for EPSON's annual business review and partner recognition night, this mesmerising event was held at the Shangri-la Hotel EDSA, with their very apt and simply phenomenal kick-off theme, "Partners in Excellence." For the amateur video, please click on link below:

EPSON 2015 at Shangri-La Hotel

This year proved to be more fabulous and exciting for the generous EPSON team led by President & Country Manager Tanaka San, along with Sirs Cris, Ipe and Jeffrey, along with the beautiful ladies Ms. Macy, May and Melai (plus the rest of their amazing team) made sure the program was unpredictable and peppered it with raffle draws where one lucky guest won an Iphone 6! 

But more than just the fanfare and the prizes, was really the recognition ceremony, where top-performing partners were honoured while EPSON also rallied all their partners, both the long-term and the promising abecedarian ones to continue with hard-work, creativity and unfailing commitment for EPSON Philippines has really got so much in store for them all - from sales incentives to overall operations support. 

Indeed, I feel so blessed to be working with EPSON again as emcee for their business preview, and I look forward to working with them for the years to come. And I am extremely happy for all their business partners in attendance, for they get to work with such a renowned global brand, the forerunner in technological equipment and service, coupled with amazing people to keep the company and its products flourishing. EPSON is indubitably number 1, today and for the years to come. - Marylaine Louise Viernes
