Be our guest as we look back at the marvellous experience I had hosting for two mesmerising Beauty & the Beast events! And the best part was that my sister also served as master of ceremonies for her very own Beauty & the Beast movie event, a royal ball at the SM Mall of Asia activity area!
The photo above was for my event at the SM Mall of Asia activity area which featured a storytelling activity, while these two below were taken at my event held at the one was the SM North EDSA atrium where we did magical arts and crafts most especially, our very own enchanted roses!
Lovely to meet adorable princesses from other lands!
Please check out my videos of the event at SM Mall of Asia:
And now, check out my videos of the event at SM North EDSA:
This summer lends an electrifyingly exciting hue as I break from the pink and go all bedazzling blue! Welcome one and all to Barbie's unforgettable Dreamtopia Journey! Feel my signature electric Barbie blue energy; here's my opening salvo:
Lovely moms and their li'l Barbie girls got to join in on the magical runway fun during our fashion parade, where twinning Barbie mommies and Barbie girls sashayed down magical the Dreamtopia stage for an unforgettably enchanting time!
And I also got snaps of the backstage action, like this one where I was doing my voice-over spiels, summoning all fairies and princesses of Barbie's magical kingdom!
Adorable Barbie babies greeting me backstage, sans my magical blue hair! Oh my! Now they saw the real me, when I am not Tita Barbie...
Within the iconic Barbie box featuring the real me: my messy, chopped hair and my running shoes. I am always on the go! For those who truly know me, they know that hosting and speaking is my drug! The opium that gets me high all day! When my 'hosting high' wears off, you see me looking forward to my next exciting events hosting gig or speaking engagement...
I am the original Filipino Barbie girl, at it for Mattel and Barbie events for a decade, since 2008. I am a Barbie girl para sempre...
In this video I reveal what's truly been burning since I was a child. Not a lot of people know that I am a writer. I get by today with hosting as it is my love and passion, but I know it is not my destiny. Catch me open my heart to my fellow events emcee, Jazper Tiongson who came as one of the judges and guest vloggers for this event:
One day I shall bow out of hosting to fulfil my ultimate destiny. But for now, I grasp my mic for as long as I still can. I am getting older, but still at it. And why not? Barbie herself, born Barbara Millicent Roberts in 1959 continues to be a timeless icon even if she's only a year shy of being a sextarian, this 2018, Barbie celebrates her 59th birthday!
Thanks so much Sir Shan who first discovered me to be the Barbie host and also to Ate Josie above of Richprime / Mattel Philippines! And to close, here's a look back of some of the events I've done for Barbie through the years; I can't put them all as I'd flood up this entire page if I include all the links to my past Barbie events, so below are just my top 3 favorites; the most memorable Barbie events I've emceed for:
Meet Chef Xander Tanco, the uber talented kitchen legend behind Bizu! See my happy, smug smile as I made a masterpiece of a Pizza? That is not just a smug smile; it is a proudly SMEG smile as my events emceeing / hosting gigs land me another unforgettable time as SMEG Kitchen Appliances celebrates their 10th year anniversary with an intimate get together with one of their top clients, Rockwell Land! Here below with the handsome president of SMEG, Mr. Concepcion and the very lovely marketing ladies...
Here I was during the raffle draw doing what I do best, and that is hosting... but thanks to this event, I also found my passion (and possibly a talent waiting to explode, LOL) in the kitchen! I already hear my siblings disagreeing now, each time I say that I am talented in the kitchen...
I can still hear my siblings screaming, "just stick to doing events, hosting and writing..." LOL. Anyway, thanks to SMEG, the guests and I got to make our very own pizzas by simply piling in as much ingredients as we want on the really cute dough that Chef Xander prepared for all of us. Yes, the dough was amazingly cute and squishy... I cannot describe it in any other way. I was in love with the soft, squishy dough! I couldn't let it dough... please dough not judge me!!! They say you must follow your heart and dough what you loved and I realized I found a new love in cooking too!
And now, here's my video clip encouraging guests to check the products out...
But now comes the fun part... catch me in action! Dough not miss this video!
As you can see in the video below I can dough this all day long...
And thanks to my sister who came to support and take photos, here are a few funny snaps, my behind the scenes photos, the type only your sis can capture... with the wonderful President...
And he caught me! It was such a funny moment! The food was just too good!
Lastly, while the kitchen range and most especially the amazing SMEG oven was the focus of the event, I'd also like to share too how FABULOUS their fridges are... I mean, take a look at these photos. Also, I look different and without makeup yet as these snaps were taken way before the actual event (yes before I got my hair and make up done)... how fashionable and chic are these? I dream of owning one of these someday... soon!
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you felt just as SMEGtacular as I did to be part of this SMEGmorable and SMEGciting event! Visit my Facebook and Youtube pages related to my hosting gigs as well by clicking on these links below:
I am just (mini)so happy once again as I obtain the honor of serving as master of ceremonies for Miniso Philippines' debutante store, Miniso SM Cubao! And to mark this special milestone of unveiling their 18th store, Miniso invited no less than the talented Ms. Julie Ann San Jose and her rumored beau, Ben Alves... how cute are these love birds?
My turn to pose by the entrance of their breathtaking 18th store!
This time, posing with brand manager, Andrew Ybardolaza and these two lovely models.
And I won't forget to pose with the owners of Miniso Philippines, of course!
So I got to reconnect with my adorable Japanese cousins and beloved auntie Mylene (my mom's sister), which is quite timely as I've been so blessed recently to be able to emcee for a handful of Miniso Store inaugural ceremonies. While dreaming of the day that I finally get to visit Japan, I would revel on my Miniso hosting gigs for now... Arigatougozaimasu, Miniso Philippines for letting me be the emcee of your debutante - the irbreathtaking 18th - store here in the Philippines in no less than SM Cubao! Feel my happiness that very special Saturday through this video below...
I've since then developed the habit of calling little boys their names plus the word 'Kun' (like Godric Kun) and then when it comes to little girls you add "Chan" to their names (such as Rila Chan, to address my little cousin) as adding "Chan" or "Kun" is a term of endearment for the young ones close to you.
To end, I could not let the day pass without shopping. Here I was relaxing at home and enjoying my latest favorite fashion grab from Miniso...

Here I was in my bright pink-and-electric-blue-element as I invited everyone to "Join the Party" in celebration of the launch of Shopkins Season 7!
Below is one of my videos hosting during the fun games... check out the crowd! Jam-packed with Shopkinatics like me!
And here is another clip of this memorable party... watch!
And... another! This time, this clip, shows me doing my voice-overs... third video clip in a row, you guessed it, we forgot to take photos; only videos, LOL. (Insert embarrassed li'l monkey Emoji here)
I just loved this party! Don't you feel the energy? Thank you Shopkin for having me, giving me an excuse to come up in my Shopkins best... you know, brightly colored outfits, crazy accessories, icy bright blue highlights and my cutesy pink high tea head band... the works!
Hooray! Thanks for dropping by and reading my blog today, and catching a glimpse of this memorable Shopkins party I hosted! Have a Shopkintastic day ahead!

Exhilarated! This was exactly how I felt with the buzz going to and from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro and going back to Manila again for my other commitments! I was very tired and I lacked sleep altogether, but this was one priceless experience; truly one for the books!
Meet Max. This dapper dude right here is Max Closa, events host extraordinaire and my gentleman-partner for this memorable night. Our rapport onstage was as though we've been hosting together for a while, when it's our first time to meet each other! And, it was also my first time to be in Bansud, Mindoro, but he made me feel right at home...
It was one stormy, rainy evening, but nothing can stop the grandest, most breathtaking show that the entire Mindoro, not just people of Bansud look forward to. I would like to thank Mayor Angel Saulong and BJ Saulong for inviting me! Unfortunately I don't have photos with them (actually I wasn't able to take any pro photos) I only got this snap, with the Vice Mayor of Mindoro above...
And of course, I needed to interview one of the judges of the evening, the very handsome and brilliant Arthur Saulong, perhaps the future Mayor of Bansud Mindoro?
I loved this night... felt like a beauty queen myself too, just for one night! And the best part? The Question and Answer portion! With one of the lovely candidates below, looking all pensive as a tough question was being asked by one of the judges of the pageant...
Move over, Victoria's Secret Angels! These beauties paraded in amazing costumes too that spoke of the trade and traditions of Bansud, Mindoro! I am going bananas with this particular look... yes, Bansud is a HUGE producer of different kinds of bananas...
So blessed I was to spend one scintillating night with the most beautiful ladies from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro, as the co-emcee for Miss Teen Bansud 2017! It was so glamorous at every turn! I had first dibs on the crown, the Q&A, the list goes on! Photos below are a bit hazy, but each moment of that fabulous night is crystal clear to me!
This is the moment when the one brand I always expect during Christmas, Hallmark, finally gets me to be their emcee for their awesome word festival at the UP Town Center, Ayala Mall! This memorable event, "Celebrate Hallmark Moments," also marks the 30th year of Hallmark Philippines! But first, one of my videos of this one-of-a-kind festival...
I absolutely loved how this event, the first type of its kind that I've ever hosted, appealed to its audience's sensibilities, as to my heart. This event featured poets from Words Anonymous, superstar poets in their own right who has enlivened open mic poetry in the country.... what a remarkable honor it was to be there this special, starry, zen night!
Is it obvious that I was so ecstatic to be here? So glad to be both the emcee of the evening, and also rapporteur-sightseer-cum-member of the spoken poetry fanatic audience! An unforgettable celebration indeed...
Speak! And igniting the night was Henri Igna, one of the more popular spoken poetry artists in the country... I am surprised with how much this craft has gained ground through the years! Do I want to join them? Well... I auditioned impromptu as I tried to do spoken word poetry in my hosting but I guess I failed...
Checking on my wonderful audience... they were shy and sweet; the type to really feel with words... we listened to poetry and also played #HugotLine games that night; there were so many wonderful freebies from Hallmark given out throughout the evening...
But if you think it was all just words and poetry; think again! We also had Itchyworms rock the stage that night, and I just had to pose with the amazingly talented and funny Jugs Jugueta, who is also a tortoise love like me! He has a ton of torts, now I only have three, but here's our photo with my tortoises, back when I used to have my dear sweet Hosea... (Read: A tribute to my beloved pet tortoise, Hosea)
Peek-a-boo! I see you! I hope to see you visiting my blog again! Watch out for my next posts... OMG I have so much more to write; I find it hard to keep up with blogging with the amount of work (both day job and hosting gigs) but hey, I can't complain! Indeed, time is so precious...
