On the wings of love: Hosting the special night of #Jidine2016

A big, big thank you to my beloved Global Visions Events family for once again trusting me, this time for another inspiring wedding celebration... for the memorable night of #Jidine2016 ! 

 Congratulations to this good-looking couple, Jiro and Nadine! Stay happy & in love!

Oh to be young and in love... that's the magical story of Jiro and Nadine, or together, #Jidine who shares one smart and handsome young boy already, Nicolo, and who humbly shared the ups and downs of their young romance, and finally be able to walk the aisle this memorable day... But their love story is only for them to tell, but as for me, let me share with you the breathtaking setting where this wondrous wedding was set all thanks to superb events group, Global Visions Events! 

I am not the only one taking selfies before the grand ceremony... everyone fell in love with this glorious scenery in Batangas, overlooking the Taal Volcano! Loved how I got to come in a laid-back dress and majorly chill sandals as I led the festivities! 

Truly amazing personalized wedding styling... Every facet of the event area was perfect! Down to the smallest of details... Truly glad to see all the love and beauty in this very special night... 

 Doing my thing... sadly, no video taken this night, but I certainly had fun and was simply honored to be part of this solemn ceremony... Again, the styling by GVE was just divine!

Who's that Pokemon? Having a blast hosting Pikachu's Meet & Greet Party!

I've always loved watching the Pokemon series as a child, and in fact my favourites then, Squirtle, Charmander and Gengar remain as my favourites up until today! But of course, the world's most favourite Pokemon, and the main character in the series, sweet and loyal Pikachu, took centerstage in the much-awaited Pokemon Meet & Greet shows, as part of the Robinsons Malls 2016 Character Festival! I had fun playing and posing with Pikachu as much as I loved hosting this!  

 Are you ready, P? Pikachu says hello; she can't wait to meet all of you! 

 What are you whispering in my ear, Pikachu? Oh yes, that it's time to play games and give out prizes? It's Pika-Trivia Time! 

 These kids were more than ready... in fact they know the answers to all my Poke-Trivia questions! 

With my love, Godric Matthew, who was first in line... I was just as excited as he was! 

 The cool Pokemon photo wall with Ash Ketchum! 

 My love, Godric Matthew and the other kids there were like, "Mom, can we take him home? Please, please, please?"

But do you know what the best part of the 2016 Robinsons Malls Character Festival is? It's that my beloved sister, Natalie, was also able to emcee for someone of our many events! Here's she is also hosting for the Pokemon Meet & Greet Party with Pikachu at another Robinsons Mall! Please also visit and follow her blog: natefridayblog.wordpress.com

Ice Age: for kids of every age! My Ice Age Collision Course Movie Review

Look what I've unearthed... a movie ticket fossil... my ticket to this year's greatest animated big screen adventure!  

Loved that cool Saturday morning where the gang and I all trooped to the Greenbelt Cinemas for another COOL-ision: the Ice Age Collision Course Movie Premiere! Forever thankful to the lovely Ms. Mae Vecina of Warner Brothers & 20th Century Fox Philippines, and of course their wonderful and kind President, Mr. Francis Soliven for the awesome invites and amazing big screen adventures!

As always, silly Scrat causes another chaotic course that sets the Ice Age gang, led by monolithic mammoth, Manny and his family (nuclear and extended to include the other species) into one chilly-thrilling ride! You would have to watch this for yourselves to learn more about the escapades that the movie lets its viewers all walk through. But let me just tell you the reasons why you need to watch this with your squad!

1. It is all about Family - Indeed, as what resonated in the past Ice Age film instalments, this movie is all about Family and about how tough it is to survive the cold, hard, icy (literally) world without those whom we can stand on for support. I love how Manny continues to be the main mammoth, the rock of the crew, steering them all towards safety, even if at times, he too would find himself at the brink of fear and uncertainty. 

2. It's a SCRATASTROPHIC Adventure - whenever I see Scrat, chasing after his acorn, I know that trouble is not too far away! Yes, I love those Ice Age trailers; they excite me as I wait for the next Ice Age movies to be launched. Ok, so Scrat can sometimes be so annoying, but then life would be boring without him and his acorn. But hey, what would Ice Age movies (or life for that matter) be without struggles and downfalls? What matters is how we pick ourselves up and save the day in our own little way... together as a family! Check out Space-Scrat who was the movie screening's VIP guest!

3. Just Let it Go... You'd really have to watch this awesome family movie to understand what I mean, but this movie is all about learning to love and accept one another for our quirks, differences and preferences. Sometimes, we lose our cool and be all ICY whenever we meet those who challenge our views and 'break the ice' that surrounds our comfort zones... indeed this movie is all just letting go, and just being... who you are and who you can be! It is all about loving, respecting and accepting one another, knowing that each of us hold a potential in our hands, and maybe sometimes it has to take a tough situation like the end of the Ice Age world, for us to discover that... 

I absolutely loved ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE and you will to! Catch it at your favourite movie theatres before the ICE melts...

Hosting the fantastic intergalactic gala to celebrate 25 successful years of Guill-Bern Corporation

No words can best describe the glory of that scintillating of that evening, when I was honored to be master of ceremony during the 25th Anniversary celebration of Guill-Bern Corporation, held at the Marco Polo Hotel, Ortigas Center. Here I am with the company's lovely founder herself, a woman of wisdom, Ms. Lourdes Delos Reyes.

With its theme, 'Breakthrough to Excellence,' this event sky-rocketed with an aptly mesmerising and well-conceptualised futuristic look, where I had the chance to come in as space queen in my best black and silver outfit! It was truly out of this world, with guests from principals from all over the globe, and local partners composed of only the most esteemed and reputable private companies engaged in the ever-dynamic medical business. Below are a few clips as I emceed the event:

Plus, here's one of my few voice-over spiel videos: 

Cheers to more years of success for Guill-Bern Corporation! Below are more snaps of me engaging the guests! Visit www.guill-bern.com.ph to learn more about the company's services and how they continue to dominate the cutthroat field of medical science services!

And since there's no getting over this intergalactically fantastic event, here are a few more photos: With the tech team and the queen of RX Events, Xiameer. Yes, this crazy tech booth behind-the-scenes photo here shows the true face of events which are not all glitz and glam! 

 Let's not forget my lovely stage manager, Kresta McCoy! This was a celebration of independent and beautiful women too!

Below shows in my "throne" where I get to live out my out-of-this-world-amazing experiences whenever I host an event! Taken a few minutes before the event began. One of the many times that I get to fly high in space with my 'craft.'

And here I am after the event, signing off... yup my space ship was waiting to fly my back to my Planet Nerd (yes, when I am not in hosting duties, I am a total, downright nerd! Check out the green space beams; this was truly legit... Beam me up, Scotty!!!

My latest Philips AVENTure: Hosting 'The Joys & Challenges of Motherhood' Event

The most recent event I've emceed for Philips AVENT was entitled, "Today's Moms: The Joys and Challenges of Motherhood," held in partnership with Baby Company. And what a very apt title for my situation that day wherein there was absolutely no member of my family (not even my mom) available to play nanny for my son that day, that I had to bring him by myself to this event along with a truckload of gadgets to ensure he doesn't get bored while I serve as master of ceremony for the program. Yes, it was indeed a challenging day, but was I so joyful during and after the event, for my boy was very well-behaved; he was a joy to bring along! We (literally) rolled through the day gleefully!  

Skating AVENT-ure. A shout out of love and appreciation goes to my Philips AVENT / LJS Group family who've helped me skate gracefully through 7 years of being a mum! They have helped me in many ways both as a mom and as an events host! As I grow with my son, my love for Philips AVENT will grow too for they've been with us since the start. But below's photo shows me with eyes wide shut... praying and hoping that I can last this day without a nanny watching over my son consistently through this 3-hour hosting AVENT-ure! 

Yes, I cannot believe that it's now 7 wonderful years being a mother and it has been nothing less than rewarding and empowering! And the one brand that has been by my side all these years since I became a mom was Philips AVENT! I claim responsibility for coining the term, "AVENT-ure," and I've been using this word, AVENTURE in all my Philips engagements for this is what all this years has been... not just an exhilarating adventure, but an amazing Philips AVENT-ure! 

Promoting AVENT products comes naturally. While I no longer use all of the Philips AVENT products such as this natural line manual breast pump, I swear by these and still know the product features and benefits by heart. Not just because I host for them, but because I've actually used most if not all of the AVENT products; they are the best partner any mom can have, whether a newbie or a pro. In every chance I find, I proudly exclaim, "I am a Philips AVENT Mom!" 

But I am not the only proud AVENT mom. For not only has Philips AVENT nurtured my son and I; through Philips AVENT, I've made many good friends and the one I call my BFF is the beautiful, kind-hearted and talented Chef, Dang Adrias who is not just a celebrity chef and culinary brand endorser, but also a respected culinary arts teacher at MOST Institute, wonderful wife and mom of three! She's truly a person who inpires me and I look up to her for the many hats she wears apart from the toque. And most recently, she made my son's birthday cake and it was simply awesome! Will be blogging about that soon! I love you always and forever, my awe-inspiring and creative BFF, Chef Dang Adrias! 

 Photo above is with my son, Godric Matthew and Chef Dang's lovely baby girl, Andrea or simply Andi... she is as beautiful as mommy, and she's a gymnast too... watch out for Andi Adrias soon! Photo below shows me taking many more snaps with my BFF Chef Dang before the program started... can you spot my roller-boy son, Matthew in the photo below? 

And here I was with the rest of our three featured speakers for that day. Chef Dang of course taught the moms how to prepare fresh and healthy food for the little ones and the family... Ms. Sharon Galang Agoncillo (extreme left) spoke about Baby Signs, while magazine editor Frances Amper Sales talked about grooming and wellness so moms won't let themselves go and totally forget to look after themselves, especially as remaining fit and pretty can be very challenging after giving birth.  

 I can never get enough of Philips AVENT and our fun learning AVENTURES which my son has mostly been part of... 

 An AVENTURE for the whole family. Yes, everyone is welcome to learn and have fun with us and even take home some goodies!

 Thank you, Philips AVENT for always being there for me and my son all these years... you will always occupy a huge space in my heart! 

Thanks for dropping by; may we all continue to strive for God's glory!
