Shopping with the stars at Baby Company Megamall's grand store inauguration (Part 2)

Can't get enough of the newest Baby Company store, which recently opened in SM Megamall! It's a 600 square meter store with a modern style but with the same if not better shopper-friendly attributes.  They put their awesome Merchandise on the spotlight thru artistic application of colours, lighting and systematic merchandise grid. Welcome to the newest and most exciting Baby Company store!

I absolutely love Baby Company! And I also love these three beautiful ladies from Baby Company, posing with one of our glowing superstar mommies for the day, Ms. Iya Villania. From left to right are Mrs. Tess Ponce, SVP for Operations, Ms. Lani head of Merchandising and of course, Ms. Cheryl Justiniano, head of Marketing who I owe so much to as she was the one who found me and got me to host their Baby Company Grand Baby Fair a few years ago... forever thankful for this company of intelligent and kind-hearted women! 

Here's more of this memorable BABY-TASTIC event of Baby Company, in celebration of their Megamall store inauguration. This time, let's zoom in on the superstar mommies who came, shopped and conquered! First up, the ever-beautiful and down-to-earth Patty Laurel-Filart! I've met her for like the fifth time now whenever I host events for she's a suki celeb guest and speaker and she deserves it; always ready to spare kind and delightful words each time I meet her. From her smile alone, you can already see how much fun she had during this grand milestone for Baby Company, the Baby Specialist... 

Checking out Patty Laurel's shopping cart; only the best finds for her adorable son Theo... Baby Company is definitely the place to be... for all you loving mommies, daddies and parents-to-be! 

In good (and good-looking) Company. Another mom I look up to, the beautiful and bedazzling Ms. Joy Sotto, and her four handsome boys. From left to right are Sandro who's an amazing dancer, Rosanno the youngest among the boys, Igu (the one I personally find the most good looking) and the kuya of the bunch, Hugo. And I know their names by heart for I follow her on Instagram. Congratulations too for having a beautiful princess. Yes, this lovely Baby Company Mombassador is actually a mom of 5 as she had given birth to her much-prayed for daughter not too long ago. It's the perfect time to shop in Baby Company! 

This time, I got to interview Mommy Joy Sotto with her eldest, where they shared their top picks for the two younger boys and of course, for their beautiful little princess! 

Plus more lovely stellar mommies spotted! I got to interview the host of Chika Minute, a primetime showbiz news segment on GMA 7's 24 Oras, Ms. Iya Villania... isn't she a lovely preggy woman? Thanks to Baby Company, all mommies too can look as pretty as Iya, thanks to the convenience they alone can give to moms and moms-to-be!

Let's not miss the lovely Kelly Misa who was excited to pick out wonderful items for her son which she can find only here at the Baby Specialist... Baby Company! 

 Kelly also dishes out tips and tricks when it comes to shopping for our biggest joys: our little ones... 

Last but most certainly not the least, I got to chat with one of the young ladies I admire most - Ms. Shamcey Supsup, an international beauty queen, now also a restauranteur and proud mom to her beautiful little baby girl, Nike! Check out my video too where I got this beauty to walk the shopping runway at Baby Company's grand aisles. Every mom's a beauty queen, with Baby Company!

Indeed, there is no other baby specialist when it comes to infant feeding, caring, playing, sleeping, learning and more! Make sure that you also shop smart like our superstar moms above and have your MOM CARDS with you! This is Baby Company's loyalty program. It is meant to reward frequent shoppers through rebates, exclusive offers, special events and other privileges. The more you shop, the more rebates you earn.

A SPY-tacular Movie Review for The Man from U.N.C.L.E

Warner Brothers' latest blockbuster, The Man from U.N.C.L.E was one awesome ride! Its tongue in cheek and yet high-octane humour, it got me gripping my seat in excitement and laughter. Plus, with its fantastic set design (based on the 1960s spy series of the same title) and even more fantastically cast characters, the girls along my aisle - and myself - as if on cue, would swoon over Henry Cavill (maybe 'coz we won't forget that he was the hottest Superman ever and until now I wonder how anyone can have such a chiseled, perfectly manly face) and also Armie Hamer who did quite grow on me too with his charming, bright-eyed Jude Law vibe.

Napoleon Solo (Cavill), an ex-criminal turned super spy from the US (CIA Agent), and his forced and unlikely partner that won't let him run 'Solo', Ilya Kuryakin, super spy from the Russian Soviet Union! Together, they try to battle criminal elements that vow to make the end of the world closer - following the disappearance of the weapon's creator. And if you think two's company (or a crowd when you come from competing groups), think again for they are joined by Gaby (Alicia Vikander),  the daughter of the missing scientist for a triple dose of hotness. 

My favorite part (and the part I can relate to) was when Solo played WAZE to Gaby in an exhilarating ride, clutching his old-school map, fleeing death in the craziest manner! I surely would't mind trading the Waze App on my phone for Henry Cavill and his old school map minus the gunshots! Make sure that you catch this film - a classic indeed - classic dose of laughter and thrill! 

Another favorite scene - and my friends from the LGBT community almost rejoiced to - but it is not what you think. Watch the movie and see it for yourself! 

Lastly, to those wondering, U.N.C.L.E. stands for United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. It's something you and your family - especially the uncles - will enjoy!

Pig Pig, Hooray! Peppa Pig's Meet & Greet (First Day)

It's a dream come true for me to meet and bond with the world's most adorable piggy, Peppa, and more so land my first hosting gig with my new friends from Bankee (Melissa, Richard), and Ms. Gina Pena too for leading me as host of this Pig-tastic Peppa Pig Meet & Greet Party! Until now I am oinking with excitement; just like all the kids who will always cherish such a memorable experience with Peppa. Below are my Peppa-riffic event photos, for the first of the two-day activity:  

 'Tis a perfect day to play games with Peppa and all these Peppa Pigsters, or maybe Peppa Peeps!!! 

 We had a fun show and tell where these cute Peppa Pigsters shared why they love Peppa toys!

 Peppa is also very excited to meet you all!

Thank you so much, Peppa for such a memorable, exciting and Pig-tastic time! We cannot get enough of you, so for now we will keep watching your shows (and we love your English accent, too!)

We love Peppa and George so much, we get to cuddle with them all the time! You too can grab your own Peppa and George toys, over at Toys 'R Us, the world's greatest toy store!

Hosting Aboard Charisse & Steven's Nautical Love Boat

I am still sailing at high seas, and so happy for Charisse Siao-Prakash who has proven that indeed, true love is worth sailing (even stormy seas) for! She found her prince, Steven, in Singapore and their love story is just inspiring - how their love breaks race, culture and all other sorts of barriers. I am truly honored to be the master of ceremony of their union, held at the New World Hotel Makati. Very apt that they chose this hotel for they will surely explore new worlds together! 

The theme was nautical-inspired, and I just had to note the Anchor accent, which was right beside the initials of the bride and groom's name - at how love must be anchored on the most essential values such as respect, honesty, faith and selflessness. Nautical and Naughty, too, as  we had a beer drinking game which ended with the ladies strutting their sexy stuff on the dance floor.

Just had to post the breathtaking table center piece: these beautiful flowers! 

Thank you, Charisse and Steven! More than inviting me to emcee your wedding party, I thank you for inspiring me with your love. May you be blessed with good health, prosperity, lots of healthy kids and a love that will continue to inspire us all through the years!

Just got Lucky: The Philips Kulinarya show at Lucky Chinatown

I am so thankful for the many years that I have worked with Philips and their amazing brands, especially Philips AVENT. But it really is so humbling yet spectacular at the same time to also be trusted with their Philips Kulinarya tours, which were held in many community centers, business districts and malls. My most favourite and the most memorable one for me was held at the Lucky Chinatown Mall (nope, not memorable because it took me 2 hours from the bridge to get to the mall, and another 2-3 hours getting out of Chinatown area, no exaggeration) because it was sadly the last of the Philips Kulinarya legs for the fiscal year. But I really do cherish the COOL-inary tricks I have learned, taught by no less than Ms. Nancy Reyes Lumen herself, the country's Adobo Queen! 

Here are some more photos of Ms. Nancy and I having a blast, and the audience too, walking away with a ton of amazing appliances only from PHILIPS!

Thanks and I hope to catch you on the future PHILIPS & PHILIPS AVENT activities coming soon! - Marylaine Louise Viernes
