Tremendously blessed as the Master of Ceremonies of the 2-Day National ICT Summit 2016!

Here I was again, opening this year's National ICT Summit 2016: I was unfortunately unable to take a video myself but I'd like to give credit to Ms. Earl Suyao, thanks for uploading this video.

I continue to serve for the fourth year in a row now as master of ceremonies for the Department of Science and Technology's ICT Office's most-awaited annual affair, the National ICT Summit! Where the most brilliant names in both government and private sectors come together to foster further growth in Information Communications and Technlogy! 

Thank you for trusting me again this 2016 to handle one of the most esteemed and empowering conferences in the region! Here I am opening the Day 1 festivities, truly thankful to be part of this once more... 

As in the past years, I got to take home a ton of insights on what new in the Information Communications and Technology (ICT) scene. 

With the keynote speaker this year, Senator Ralph Recto! 

 These two days brimmed with only the best speakers in the industry, from all over the globe, along with edifying presentations, and you can see how much I was enjoying every moment... 

And as I wore my green Marthena Mercier dress for Day 1, I proudly wore Marthena Mercier again for Day 2, but in a festive white design. Some snaps from Day 2 below, and don't forget to check out www.marthenamercier.com for the finest trends today! 

Learned from brilliant minds from the ICT sector, so proud to play a huge role here! Thank you and Mabuhay ang DOST-ICT, CIOF and the CIOF Foundation! Hope to work with you in the coming years!

A blast hosting for Summit Media's first ever Mommy Bloggers Workshop!

Again my heart brims with joy and gratitude for the many opportunities to live out my passion as an events host, meet wonderful people and learn in the process! Thanks, Good Housekeeping Philippines for yet another thrilling experience! This was held at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel... 

I got to be master of ceremonies for Good Housekeeping Magazine's first-ever Mommy Bloggers Workshop, and did I learn so much and have so much fun! And of course, to keep our ceremonies alive, I just had to keep those corny jokes crackin' along... (hey I continue to book hosting gigs thanks to my crazy jokes)... here's a video if you please... 

And of course, a snap with the lovely mommy bloggers in attendance...

Rhythms, young love and sweet notes with #BAILONA at Robinsons Galleria

The sweetest little girl in the whole wide world... meet my BFF Chin-chin! 

This year's was definitely the best Valentine's Day ever! I may not be dancing to romantic tunes this Valentine's season, but that doesn't mean that my Valentine's day didn't brim with so much love. In fact, this year's unforgettable Valentine's Day proved to be the sweetest one so far... I've seen that Love comes in different forms, and I can most certainly say that love for my craft, and people expressing their love towards me and what I do truly makes my heart sing with joy! This is the sweetest Valentines card I ever got, only from my dear CHIN-CHIN: 

I have been dubbed, "B.H.E." (In the Philippines, Bhe is a mass term for lover; the shortened form of 'Babe' or 'Baby') but it's not the Bhe that you think; it actually stands for BEST HOST EVER. Now that melts my heart all over again! And what makes it extra special is that this beautiful young lady here, named Chin Chin who I met in a few events I have hosted last year for Robinson's Galleria made this amazing card herself! Here I am with her lovely mom too, Ms. Thet who heads the marketing division for Galleria... 

There was just so much love that day; I was so glad to be the emcee for the highly-anticipated "Rhythm of Love" concert at Robinsons Galleria with one of the hottest love teams today, #BaiLona which is comprised of the lovely Ylona Garcia and Bailey May (can you believe they're both only 13 years old? Oh, to be young and in love...) who are not just talented and popular, but both very kind and humble young superstars. 

Check out their huge following... it was a record-breaking lovevent indeed! (Lovevent = Love Event) #BAILONA the monicker of this adorable duo made everyone fall in love... 

Giving the hottest love team some good ole Love Advice... and my only advice is... Don't listen to me when it comes to love and romance! LOL.

Yes it was one happy hearts' day celebration indeed; it makes me realize the many blessings I continue to enjoy, in this amazing life I am truly very thankful to live! And here I was backstage with #BAILONA... can you believe they're both only around 14? Don't even ask how old I am okay! Oh, to be young and in love... 

Don't just work for a living... in whatever you do, make sure it's love and life you're giving!
I am just thankful that I love what I do and do what I love!

Of Fairies and Furries: My Furrific and Furtastic Sky Life Halloween!

I am so blessed to meet Ms. Chrissy Caballero of SKY Life who continues to believe in me. And it's been SKY-tacular since I started hosting for some of their events, which have each been nothing short of fairy tales! My last one was the 'Celebrations fair' where I got to lead a dreamy ballroom of princes, princesses, queens, knights and more all in the search to find the most ball-tastic party suppliers and treats! Here I am below soaring at Nuvali! 

Thanks to Ms. Chrissy and her co-marketing head, Sir Delbert, I was once more entrusted to emcee for one of SKY LIFE's biggest events - held at and in partnership with Nuvali: Night Sky Cinema Presents Furry Tales! But first... a Fairy Selfie... wow, this has got to be the biggest event I have emceed for, I heard over 3,000 people came! I am truly so honored! My excitement and glee, you can definitely say that the SKY is the limit!  

 And another Selfie please... you don't get to be a fairy in front of 3,000+ people every day... 

This event was one-of-a-kind for this was a family affair, and by family I meant that this included their paw-some, paw-riffic family members! Yes there were so many adorable furries who came to enjoy, win prizes and of course watch three awesome movies in the endless night sky, curled up in the grass, that even if the sun no longer shone, the warmth of family and friends radiated brighter than ever! 

Can you say a-DORA-ble? Ain't this naughty little lady above so adorable? Here we are chilling backstage in her cute Dora the Explorer get-up with matching devil horns as we waited for the costume parade to begin... 

Ghoul is Cool. This was also a Howl-o-Ween party, so again I had the excuse to be myself, a Fairy (I really am a fairy, I swear) but not just any fairy... but a Furry-loving Fairy! I was Fairy Godmother to the bow-wow-riffic pets and their loving pet owners that day! And I got to pose beside cute characters and even scary ghouls!!! 

 Right after the movie, How to Train your Dragon, I lost my Fairy Wings and grew Dragon ears! Well... okay so they are actually bat ears and wings... so I guess I can still fly! Here we are flying high and rolling with one of the many fun games that night! This game is called FUR or NO FUR? These furry pup and kitten photos are too cute!!!

 We had games for kids - and also for those who like me - are forever kids inside!!! This one is a fun barkada game and you can see we all had a blast!

Thanks again to Ms. Chrissy and Sir Delbert for a memorable opportunity! Looking forward to more events with SKY LIFE! This is really the life: Having fun, doing what you love and sharing your joy with family and friends, and making even more friends!

Shell-shocked and stoked at the TMNT Turtle Up! (Day1)

I am still rocking and shell-shocking the house down, showing off my ninja moves as I simply cannot shake off the awesome experience of being this year's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Turtle Up event and party host with Nickelodeon for it was totally tubular and tu-good-tu-be-tru!!! It was simply TURTLE-Tacular to bring the house down with Raph, Leo, Donnie and Mikey! This year, I got to be April O'Neal or should I say April O'Yeah! Loved my yellow top, but excuse my fat turtle shell of a tummy... But who cares, I am friends with the Ninja Turtles! Yeah!!! 

As a child, I have always loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in fact and now as a mum, it's just become a lot more fun as my kid loves it 4 times more than I did! Check out my boy who was ten times more excited than I was. And trust me, I was SOOOO Excited! Here he is on the way to the event, first as Michaelangelo, and then Donatello... 

 And now, check out my very own little Raphael! A true TMNT kid just like me! 

And check out this other cute little Raphael I met there too... so many cute turtle boys there! Ninja Turtles unite! See you all for Day 2!!! It doesn't get more TURTLE-tastic than this!
