School is Super Cool with the Total Girl School Tour!

Total Girl Talk is Back! And this time, we've got more surprises for everyone! I've blogged about my adventures with Total Girl last year, and also our TG (true gear) for school - Post-It and Scotch goodies by 3M Philippines, so let me just share the highlights of our recent fun TG party at Angelicum College... 

Back in the zone... I have always dreaded the thought of going back to school; I'd even have nightmares of still being in College (far from graduating) all because I have always sought to be independent and to reach for my dreams, like a hatchling raring to finally fly. But thanks to TG, the li'l girl in me is starting to love school again... 

I love this - one of the slides of my fellow TG ate and speaker, the lovely and inspiring Ines Bautista Yao who spoke about reaching for your dreams! I am so glad that I have been living one of my dreams - and that is to be an events host! And the best part is that I am able to do it, have fun, learn and earn plus meet wonderful people while I work on my other big dreams...  I am truly thankful to the generous Father for all my amazing blessings!!! 

Such an awesome day! Like these gals, I got so caught up in the energy and fun during this remarkably fun day!!! I guess here, I was trying to coach these adorable TG's as they made their dream boards!!! 

Thanks for visiting...

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...

Fun, fashion and friends at the Total Girl Magazine Model Academy 2015

The young girl in me got to run, wild and free, at least for a few hours, all thanks to the successful event of Total Girl Magazine - the much-anticipated and well-attended TG Model Academy 2015! Again, I am just so honored and blessed to host this fabulous party which was a workshop and go-see too! Below, here I am so excited to share the stage with Ms. Pauleen of Claire's and of course the lovely Mimi Tiu, Total Girl's EIC: 

Held at the bustling atrium of the new Glorietta mall, this event allowed me to bond with my amazing friends from Summit Media, and I also made new ones that day too! I super love love love my Total Girl family (hope you girls and guys are reading this) and I want to thank you all for trusting me with your fab events and for our next exciting (non-hosting related) project. I can't wait to share this to all of you by July! That's for another post. :-) 

So anyway before I get any more giddy and carried away, I'd just like to share the highlights of the day. Photos thanks to Joe Carl of Summit media: 

All these beautiful, high-energy ladies were model aspirants and this harks me back to the days when I too dreamt to be a model! Never really got there (since some things are not meant to be) but I am happy to achieve a bigger dream of mine - and that is to become an events host! Plus a proud mum to this big blazing ball of energy, below who enjoyed attention from his Total Girl big sisters!
