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:

Learning All About Babies at another exciting Smart Parenting Workshop at the Diamond Hotel

Cheers to another exciting adventure with Smart Parenting magazine! I could never thank the wonderful editorial and events team of Summit Media for always letting me be part of their delightful  and empowering parenting events. Here's Smart Parenting Workshop: All About Babies! 

As I do what I love best, and with one of the groups I love most, Summit Media. Here's this li'l boy, the person I love the most. And he was my photographer and assistant for the day: 

He was listening so intently to all of the workshop's resource speakers too!

One of the day's highlights was a skin care segment by Belo Baby: 

It's an honor to be alongside these four lovely women as Smart Parenting unveiled the Smart Moms Seal of Approval! From left to right are the three gorgeous Belo Baby endorsers, Patty Laurel Filart, Kelly Misa Fernandez and Nicole Hernandez The fourth lady, right beside me is no less than the lovely EIC of Smart Parenting, Leah San Jose. I am so glad to have worked a lot with these ladies, here's another event I shared with them: Marylaine Viernes emcees the first-ever Smart Parenting Convention by Summit Media

Fooling around with these beauties, Patty and Nicole! Special thanks to a wonderful event buddy, that handsome photographer (with a very handsome back) is Summit Media's JC!  

 We love prizes and freebies! Aren't these moms and moms-to-be just blooming? They're already so beautiful but I bet these goodies also helped bring out their loveliest smiles!

So... my trusty little photographer took no proper videos of the event (sigh...) except for this voice over video clip... please watch:

Hollywood glam at the Maxfreight Logistics & Multifreight Consolidator System thanksgiving gala!

It was the first time ever for me to attend a party where the guests and suppliers were gifted with cash gifts and were part of the raffle. That was how generous Maxfreight Logistics, Inc. and its mother company, Multifreight Consolidator System, Inc. were! 

They espoused a splendid Hollywood themed affair, with every detail of the program curated to reflect the company's values...

Here's my photo at their really beautiful old Hollywood cinema inspired design, the type you'd see in Reno, downtown Las Vegas and even in San Diego... great job to Paramint events, led by my very good friends since my grade school days, Jan and Paula Sebial! 

And another snap, truly reminiscent of old Hollywood... 

So honored to be handpicked as master of ceremonies leading this fête: 20 years dominating the industry; this is no small feat! 

Lastly, here's the only video I got for the evening as right after hosting, I then had fun dancing with the company leaders and employees!

Cheers! And please click on the links below!

Simply Fruitastic! Arts, laughter, fun and yummy treats with Fruitas!

Call it a feat to finally land a shindig with the Fruitas group, a homegrown, proudly Filipino brand of refreshing fruit treats that my son and I buy from almost every single day! Here's an exciting video with me serving as the event master of ceremonies: 

Here is another video with me doing some voice-over invites... Watch! 

Thank you, Fruitas for making me the emcee of your special activity, held at the Fisher Mall, and attended by families who came to learn, play games, have fun and savor only the healthiest and yummiest drinks and snacks from Fruitas! Here's a photo before all the fun and freshness started! 

Most of all, thank you for letting my precious boy tag along! While I was so happy to be part of the event as its master of ceremonies, he loved the games, activities and most of all, the Kids Fresh Art exhibit!

Let's not forget to mention the yummy, healthy fruit buffet! With FRUITAS, we can all do this everyday. Talk about the good life! 

Do you spot my beloved young man anywhere in the photo below? I wonder where he could be hiding... perhaps he ran off to Babot's farm... like us, we hope that you all get into the Fruitas Habit! 

Thank you Fruitas and thanks to all who visited my blog today! As always, please do click on the following web sources below for more about my passions and crafts... have a healthy day!

Black as night, all is beautiful and bright for dear Andrea Rutaquio's coming of age!

Andrea Elegant at 18. Another honor to serve as master of ceremonies for a very special debut; but what makes it extra special is that this is one of those productions where I can have my best friend and not-so-little event assistant tag along. Doesn't he look very handsome in his suit?  

Below are a couple of snaps with Milba Rutaquio who trusted me to emcee for both of her beautiful daughters' debuts... Andrea, the debutante just looks as lovely as her loving mom!

Last year, I also had the honor of hosting her big sis Angela fabulous and grand debut and here's a glimpse back via my other blog post: Angela Rutaquio's Debut Ball!

Again, thank you so much, Mommy Milba and of course, birthday girl Andrea for letting me serve as master of ceremonies for this magical party and one of the most important moments in your family's lives. My son and I truly had a blast!
