Snow much fun! My finest winter moments in beautiful Colorado with my son!

Summer has begun as I write this blog post, but I struggle to let the magical wintertime go...

The season of snow flakes and skiing is certainly my most favorite time of the year, and I am so blessed to always be able to visit the lovely State of Colorado for the most wonderful time of the year with my snow angel, who just turned 11, but will always be my snow bear! Here's my young one with the very first snowman he built, who we christened, Snowy! We left him behind in Aspen.

This was our last day in Aspen, Colorado; Godric and I did not want to leave!

He's always happy in Colorado.The first time we went to Colorado, we stayed in Aspen, drove around Snowmass and Carbondale too. And then for this last season, we explored Denver! 

Don't you just love the breathtaking alpine mountains? 

 Cable cars to bring us up so we can go skiing down!

Tumbling and snow-ball fighting! We just kept walking and ended up in the most magical places and even got to feed mountain goats! Every moment was Snow Amazing, Snow Enchanting!

Isn't my son, Godric Matthew just so handsome? I think he is more handsome when it's wintertime. Snow is our element!

 Skiing time! Oops! 

We ski at the Buttermilk in Aspen and then this last season we tried out Loveland in Denver, Colorado! Aspen was memorable and quite easy while Loveland was a bit challenging because we found ourselves in the wrong trail (blue one for expert-competitive skiers which was dangerous for beginners and leisure skiers like us) plus the weather wasn't as pleasant as we hoped it would be... 

And this was in Penny Hot Springs, yes, natural sulfur springs where Godric and I spent more than half a day! We met a couple of friends too and chatted about life! 

Colorado is Godric's most favorite place in the world for now, and while he is still a child, I want him to have all the most beautiful memories possible!

So much more to share, especially Denver Aquarium which my son also enjoyed so much; he did not even want to leave; he wanted to stay there and touch the sting rays and manta rays all day! But for now, a few videos of my most prized moments; learning to ski and make snow angels!

Read how Shopwise and Mommy Mundo teamed up for a very nice Surp-Wise!

SHOPWISE has given me fond memories back when I was around high school age. I recall how my family and I would always go there for some delectable apple pie, fresh breads, during the time when it was very therapeutic to come to the grocery store without breaking the bank. 

Today, I am so glad to have partnered with Shopwise and Mommy Mundo for their Homewise events, where moms from all over town came to learn how they too, can be "Wise" when it came to cooking, parenting their children better and living a great life within budget. And because they were all wise, many of them walked away with wonderful freebies and prizes!

Thank you so much Mommy Mundo and Shopwise for letting me lead this empowering experience! We all learned how to make Tres Leches cake and lasagna pizza rolls! Yum! 

No one came home empty handed, everyone got a freebie and a special prize. Even moi! Look how the sweet Shopwise team gave me a pack of goodies to bring home to my not-so-little boy too!

Plus, we had to thank these lovely mommies, especially Chef Golda Liamzon who taught us how to live the good life and make good and healthy food every day while being money wise! 

We had so many mommies, and even daddies in attendance! The official count was close to 300. Wow! And now, here is a glimpse of my opening spiels video:  

And lastly, a clip where  did some pre-event voice overs...

Up, up and Huawei! A thrilling time hosting for the Huawei Road show!

Huawei to go! Hover-boarding and hosting; I got to do both of these activities as I emceed for Huawei's road show, where they launched their newest smart phone! Check out this video below, where I did not just host, but I hover-boarded my way too! Yeehaw! 

Excuse me as I revel in how much effort I put in as a professional host. I mean, it's not everyday you get a host who can hover-board while on the mic while doing spiels. But hover boarding ain't my only talent; I can host while ice skating too! Read on my Shopkins on Ice post right here:

And below is one of the very few photos I had. I just arrived, and I could not wait to get this (road)show on the road! I had a super brief briefing, and then I was up (on stage)! 

I was just so delighted to have interacted with so many wonderful people, especially this lovely little girl named Heart... indeed, she was such a sweetheart and served as my co-host for a few minutes. 

And below here are a few other videos, starting with the opening ceremonies, where I invited people to check out our experience booths... no more hover boarding on these ones any more... 

And also we played a lot of fun games, watch! Huawei to go, everyone!

Breaking new ground: Leading the Hillsgate Pine Hills property preview and groundbreaking

“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” - F.D. Roosevelt

Boy, I hope I'd met the late great President Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, who had led this great nation thru WWII and the Great Depression, to tell me this. I have joined the real estate game quite late in my life and I wouldn't say that my investments are very significant. So I am glad to be part of various opportunities to learn more about real estate, and am thankful for my numerous hosting gigs for helping me meet people and learn so much more!

 That's why I am very thankful and honored to have served as master of ceremonies for Pine Hills Residences' groundbreaking ceremony. With the savvy Hillsgate team:

Not only did we conduct a groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony; we also entrenched a time capsule unto the property grounds. 

On a separate but related occasion, I also emceed for their sales drive and press conference, with their  many esteemed partners, brokers and of course, loyal clients in attendance: 

 Here's a clip of me hosting the company's sales drive and press conference:

What a beautiful day, and what a breathtaking view... 

Lastly, here's an amateur clip when I hosted the early morning groundbreaking ceremonies:

In on the covert tradition, one with the Masons for the Brotherhood's Centennial Celebration

Dan Brown, you got nothing on me! Finally, I'm in on the ancient secret of Masonic Order, serving as the Master of Ceremonies for their public installation of officers (Masonic Lodge Noli Me Tangere Lodge 42) and their brotherhood's centennial anniversary in the Philippines. 

Being a writer and an avid reader, I am still giddy about this experience, finding that underneath all the conspiracy theories about this brotherhood, they are actually just men of intelligence, honor, nobility with a loads of fun and modernity.  They even had cake! Like a wedding cake. How cool is that? Guess you can say this was a wedding of past tradition and modern fervor! 

I thank Ate Joy Uy, the wife of their newly installed leader, Jay Uy. She had put in a lot of effort here, she's a successful career woman but an even more successful wife and mother. 

She hand-picked me to be the emcee of this very important milestone in their family's life, and most especially her husband, Most Worshipful Master Jay Uy, most who truly deserves this great honor! 

Jay and Joy's two daughters are just so adorable too; I just loved our OOTD! It's not every day that I get to rock the mic in a Filipiniana... 

The event was truly one-of-a-kind, memorable and exhilarating. Not to mention the food was so amazing! Lechon, fresh sashimi, all the things I love! I can't recall if I loved the hosting part or the eating part more.

 I did not have a team along to take proper videos, so I got whoever was available. Warning: these are such terrible videos, but what the heck; I just have to get those videos up here and out there:
