Quantum Fun: Hosting for Quantum Amusement's Nite Life Party!

Thrilled and thankful to emcee for Quantum, the country's premiere family entertainment company where I got to share the stage with the fabulous Gisele Sanchez, who is one of the most respected Filipino comedienne-performers! Here I am below with the gorgeous Gisele along with Mrs. Ponce, the lovely wife of Sir Irwin Ponce, the owner of Quantum! 

Back then, I would simply play at the Quantum amusement centers with friends and loved ones, most especially my beloved Godric! But now, I am so stoked to somehow be a part of their ever-growing family! Thanks are in order for the Quantum leaders, led by my beloved Ms. Olive Dacia, Vice President of the company. Thanks for trusting me to be the master of ceremonies for such an important company event! 

Here's another photo of Olive and I, this time with their kind and brilliant boss, Mr. Irwin Ponce and the other global principals, who flew from the United States, Japan and Singapore to celebrate this special night. 

 Thank you so much to my wonderful Quantum family. More years of prosperity and fun to come! 

Before we end, watch my video hosting this fabulous affair...

At the heart of the 95th Anniversary celebration of PriceWaterhouse Cooper Philippines Isla Lipana!

As you can see in the photo above, I was beaming with join as I emceed not just one but two events for Isla Lipana, Pricewaterhouse Coopers PWC. I first emceed for their 95th Anniversary celebration, where I wore a red gown, and a week after returned wearing my black cocktail dress for their PWC Alumni homecoming celebration... 

 Congratulations on 95 successful years, the number 1 in Asia, and counting! Above is a snapshot from the homecoming festivities, with some of the key principals of the esteemed company... 

And now, here are a few videos, starting with a spiel after the President's welcome remarks from the first event of PwC Isla Lipana (Price Waterhouse Cooper): 

video of my opening spiels for the first event, for the start of PwC Isla Lipana's first of two breathtaking galas... 

 Still about the  first event, here's another video clip featuring heartwarming dance performance, after which I returned onstage to continue my hosting duties: 

And now, finally is a video clip of my opening spiels for the second event I emceed for PwC, their homecoming festivity:

A Berry special celebration: Christmas fun at Knotts Berry Farm, Anaheim!

So, let's take a break from blogging about the fabulous and empowering events I have been so blessed to emcee for, and let's take a look back at the wonderful holiday trip I've had with my beloved family!   Here's my beloved son and sister waiting for our turn at the Ghost Rider attraction:

I've had a wonderful USA trip so far, and here's an unforgettable Christmas Day celebration in Anaheim, at the Knott's Berry theme park. Here's a few videos, starting with our Jaguar roller coaster ride:

To this day, my son has been raving about it! And here are a couple more videos, this time, at our fun train ride! 

Looking ahead. Like this cute snap of my son here below, our family and I are looking forward to more travels and to a wonderful life ahead, together! This is only one of our many, many travels and adventures! 

And now here are some members of the Peanuts Gang at Knott's Berry Farm going 'Nuts' or 'Knott's' over my boy as they welcomed him to the theme park for a fun day... 

Here's Godric trying out some raccoon hats and making an acquaintance with the town blacksmith before we roamed the park some more...

Back at the Jaguar ride... we couldn't get enough! 

Bye for now, as we will be jumping for joy for the rest of the day (and for the remainder of this blog post, LOL). And, do click these links below:

Kitchen KOOL: Philips Kulinarya tours and cooks for uptown Manila!

The quintessential kitchen. Powered by Philips. Welcome to my Kulinarya Kitchen post where we all get to look back at the colours, flavours of this dreamy summer season... 

The cooling colors of summer. What could be cooler than matching superb culinary talent with state of the art kitchen appliances from Philips? I am so blessed to cook and learn from the best: Philips and Ms. Nancy Reyes Lumen as we visited various gentrified communities in the Metro! In my threefold blog post about our Philips Kulinarya adventures, I will write about our fun day at Valle Verde Pasig, and then Tierra Pura, and last but not the least, in San Lorenzo Makati! 

Photo above is my candid "backstage-helping-the-guys-prep-up-the-cooking-demo-area" pose... Excuse the summer bead of sweat! Sweaty and the show hasn't even started yet! Let's reminisce some more about our awesome cool-inary time with the wonderful folks over at Valle Verde with Philips resident super cook, Ms. Nancy Lumen and her team... 

I did not only learn so much about cooking but also had fun chatting up with the audience, especially the lucky ladies who brought home only the most amazing prizes from Philips! Check out the glee of this lovely lady who gets to walk away with a Philips juicer... wow! 

Time to eat and try out the grub! Leading as the pack of Philips ladies lined up to grab some yummy grub prepared with love by Nancy Lumen in these superb Philips appliances!

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!

One Crew, One Horizon: All Aboard the 9th Elburg Crew Conference!

I am so blessed for the chance to once again host for the ELBURG Philippines Crew Conference for the third consecutive year now! But before we dive into it, I'd like to share that preceding this event with Elburg was the one of their sister company's, Augustea Ship Manning Philippines, making me doubly blessed! Read all about it too: Marylaine Viernes serves as master of ceremonies for Augustea Crew Conference 2016. This year, we set sail at the New World Hotel in Makati, and this superb event was once again brimming with trends and technical information about the gung ho shipping industry. But the sad part was that I was unable to take any photos of myself during the earlier part of the Elburg Philippines' conference, most especially during the awarding ceremony, where various crew members and Elburg principals were in attendance starting from the early morning program. 

But the I do have tons of snaps during the delightfully intoxicating evening socials; some were a bit naughty... quite eye-popping if you ask my constant little companion below... 

Sorry guys I can't post photos of the sexy girls in attendance; but don't you think that Augustea Philippines' boss, Grace Labrusca is gorgeous? Photo above shows Ms. Labrusca, President of Augustea Philippines having fun with the singers of the band, and of course, my beloved boy, Godric Matthew! 

Photo above shows Grace and I with the sexy, sultry Ethel Booba, one of the night's guest comediennes...

And now, here's my very own cadet, with the handsome, debonair Elburg Philippines cadets: 

After enjoying his ship cadet duties, here's my Matty trying his hand at being the dog handler... like they say, expose 'em and start 'em young! 

And to conclude, here are a few snaps of how it is to be a working mom, how to juggle my love for work with my Greatest Love. As much as possible, I'd love to include my son in all of my work and events hosting adventures, if he is allowed to join and at first, things come out smooth sailing... until he gets bored, tired or sleepy... like in the photo below: 

Then here he was trying to play on the staircase (or trying to make trip and fall?). This snap makes me remember a line from a song sung by one of my all-time favourite singers, Shakira: "lucky I have strong legs like my mother, to run for cover when I need it..." But I'd like to reword this to: "I need to have strong legs as a mother, to stand firm when he needs it..." Now that he's growing up so fast, the more I need to firmly plant my to feet on the ground; figuratively and literally! 

But no matter the storms that come our way, I shall continue to hold on to the One who alone has been able to calm the storm with His Hand... there is no other life I'd settle for. I am learning to embrace where and who I am, and I pray to become who I am meant to be, under God's perfect Will and Timing. 

Cheers from Matty and Me! That's it and for now, we'll be sailing off to more hosting (and parenting) adventures! But please visit my other sites below too, to learn more about my past and present hosting gigs. Thank you and see you again soon!
