Now this is Onesie CoacHELLava (One hell of a) party! Welcome to my recap of Global Visions Events' awesome kick-off celebration, with a really cute theme, Onesie-Chella, a music festival-slash-onesie-pyjama-party! First off, here I was excitedly hosting the fanfare with my opening video...
And here having fun with the awesome GVE peeps! I always feel like I am part of one big, warm and happy family each time I get the honor of working with the best events and activation company in the Philippines, GVE! Photo below also shows Sir Pol and Miss Rachel, the owners of the company.
And here I was chillin' with the group during the stand-up comedy act...
And look at that cute festive design!
Thanks for dropping by and do surf these other sites too today!
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!
Kagami Biraki!!! This interesting new word points out to a Japanese tradition that means to "Open the Mirror." This is considered to be an auspicious act and said to be done in the greatest occasions of life. In Japan, sometimes mochi is the one being opened / broken open, to bring in good luck. This concept was something that I've learned thanks to my latest greatest blessing: hosting for MINISO! This gig had me driving all the way to Bulacan for the unveiling of the brand's 10th store but it was all worth it! Apart from the fanfare and the excitement (and the really awe-inspiring confetti blast) it was seeing an old, dear friend, Mr. Andrew Ybardolaza again that made it extra special. He is the pioneer marketing & business development manager of Miniso since the brand was launched last year, June 2016. This year, thanks to this top brand's innate magic, exemplary leadership, and of course, my friend Andrew's huge contribution, Miniso will open 40 stores this 2017 alone. Can you say amazing?
I really loved my Miniso weekend. Here's a few videos of the mesmerizing day, wherein we also had teen stars, Bianca Umali and Jerik Garcia lead the festivities and draw in people who were not just crazy for these stars, but also for shopping. As to those crazy about Miniso? Count me in! I've always been crazy about Miniso, and the addiction is worsening! My first clip below shows me inviting everyone to be just like me... crazy for shopping at Miniso!
Omedetogozaimasu! Congratulations, MINISO Philippines!!! What great energy that day... Just like the vibe and excitement you get when shopping at Miniso!
And now, I can't end this post by just sharing about my hosting gig for Miniso. I need to show you all the items I bought that day (pffft... there goes my professional fee!) First off, my really cute bright red backpack-style sling bag... this is perfect for me as I love sling bags! My two iPhones and other essentials fit in just right, especially as I am one busy person!
Because I am blessed to host a ton of events, I need to make myself up all the time... it's so much fun to put on makeup, but I hate the work I put into removing my makeup. In fact, I can put my makeup with my eyes closed, but when it comes to removing my makeup, it seems to take much more time and effort than putting makeup on! Good thing Miniso has these! One blot and the cake-up and stubborn waterproof mascara is all gone! And these are gentle on my skin too - that is the most important!
Lastly, for me and my mom's tired feet, I got these pairs... and they are phenomenal, I feel like I am walking on clouds! So much comfort and ease whenever I wear these... wish I can wear these at work and during my hosting gigs... LOL.
I have so much more to share, especially as I will also be embarking on my second emceeing gig with Miniso, for the opening of MINISO SM CENTER Sangandaan! I am so excited for that! But for now, I need to shop some more. Thanks for dropping by, and please do click on these links below for more of my work as an events host:
I am just so happy and delighted, every single time that I get to host my events! But it isn't too obvious with the photo above... right? But first, my video in plantsa-stik hosting action:
Crazy right? Yup... not just to iron your clothes, but it can iron your hair and maybe your act too! Haha! Love this brand!!!
I am truly honoured for the many years I got to host for such a respected brand like Philips, starting out with Philips AVENT, and then Philips Kitchen appliances. This year, I've had the honor of leading the media launch of the newest Philips steam irons. And all I can say is that Philips never runs out of surprises and that their Perfect Care steam irons are beyond perfect! Here's a glimpse of this wonderful day with the Philips principals, partners and members of the media...
Held at Shangri-la Plaza East Cafe, this was an afternoon of fun and adventure... I had a little too much fun, as we ironed all types of cloths, even rubber balloons, and... you wouldn't guess...
My Hair! Yes, I am a proud owner of a Philips Hair Iron, but this Perfect Care steam iron can iron your hair too... Ironic.... More like IRON-ic! Yep, for the love my my job as emcee, and for the love of Philips, by all means, iron my hair! Philips steam-ironed hair, don't care!
But the thing is, PHILIPS cares! Yes, it's amazing that it didn't hurt me or dry my hair. In fact, it worked wonders! But let's not get carried away; this Philips steam iron is for ironing all - yes all kinds of cloth imaginable, but all we wanted to show everyone was how safe it was to use this miracle product! Oh Philips, you continue to be the one and only meaningful innovator! And this lovely lady ironing my hair is Pia... nope, not Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach; she's the ever-gorgeous Business Development & Marketing Manager of Philips...
Yup I am enjoying this experience... the facial expressions caught on cam, from total fright and doubt, to enjoyment and now, in total ease... truly, Philips cares... perfectly! I can even host while Pia irons my hair... with no less than this brand new Philips steam iron!
The lifestyle bloggers had tons of fun trying out this amazing product too! And the best part? We each got to bring home one... sweet!
Dream Team: Philips with members of CYA, their distributor-partner.
Lastly, I had to pose with super awesome and funny entrepreneur, Mr. Franklin Chan, the main man behind CYA Land and Fabriano Spa; one of the drivers of success for Philips appliances!
Thank you Philips. I loved my very own perfect iron... time to iron the blues away and straighten up my life... how very apt. LOL. And, as how I usually end my blog posts, I'd appreciate it if you can click on these other links below too, for more of my many wonderful hosting gigs and adventures! Thanks for dropping by, have a perfect, wrinkle-free day!
Unable to take any proper photos at all, but that won't stop me from blogging about this phenomenal event: Marikina Valley Medical Centre, MVMC's 10th year anniversary; but that is not all, for this night was also a toast to the hospital's important milestone: becoming part of the MPIC Hospital Network. Here's a video of this splendid occasion:
Excuse the photo above... only one of the few times I am forced to take a Selfie! And photo below was of me in action. LOL. And that's about the only other photo that I've got of this night. I was without a companion, but it was still a perfect gig! I had the opportunity of meeting the wonderful people behind MVMC, like President Lyle Morrell and Ms. Grace Aba... thank you for the chance and honor to be your emcee! Plus the shirt I wore, with the big 1-0... I belong!
And one of the extra special surprises of this night was having was my name actually printed out in all of the programmes, seen on every single table... sweet! Yup, the MC of MVMC, reporting for duty!

It's that time of the year again...when I get to be master of ceremonies for the Augustea Ship Manning Philippines! I've had the honor for the first time two back to host the first-ever Augustea Crew Conference, and I this 2016, I am so blessed to be their emcee for the third consecutive year! Indeed, I praise God every single moment for the ability to host events; being a host and speaker is one of my greatest passions; I get to harness my speaking, writing, reading and listening abilities. Plus, it's so wonderful to meet inspiring people along the way. Here's the sole video clip I had during the event where I opened the socials night after moderating a whole day of learning about the latest news on the shipping industry, along with meaningful highlights of the program:
Apart from this year's empowering topics and trends for the seafarers and crew of Augustea Ship Manning Philippines which were all assisted by an awesome, hi-tech hologram presenter, the company also gave out scholarships to some of the deserving children of the crew members, and recognised the dedication and loyalty of the crew during the service awards. Below, shows me enjoying the delightful dinner during the socials night! I am so happy to be with the beautiful president of Augustea, Ms. Mary Grace Labrusca Terrei who has now become a friend that I truly love and admire; kind-hearted, generous and true. She's so easy to work with, so appreciative and I will be forever thankful for her trust. Also with us is Ms. Venice Labrusca Terrei, another one of the 4 lovely daughters of the company owners, Captain Niccolo Terrei and Madame Procerfina 'Procy' Terrei.
