Corona Sunsets City Escape for Sony Channel's ROFLing Sundays

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Hosting Sunsets City Escape in Skye lounge. Extremely happy to be here! Reminds me of my San Diego days when I used to enjoy sipping Corona beer watching sunsets on Mission Beach." - Amanda Fernandez

Your Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas get to hang out with the Corona Ambassadresses during the 1st Leg of the Corona Sunset City Escape event at the Skye Lounge located on the rooftop of the W Building in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in partnership with Sony Channel to promote their ROFLing Sundays shows namely Younger Season 2, Baby Daddy, Odd Mom Out and Bad Judge.

They say it's always sunset somewhere. On the 17th February, I joined party people in celebrating the golden hour of sunset in Manila while listening to the beats of DJ Ron Poe, June Marieezy and Techy Romantics.

The theme is to feel the beach in the city and relax responsibly. This is probably why I've seen surfer celebrities like Mara Lopez and Luke Landrigan as among their celebrity guests. Only beach bums would recognize the two, and this is not the first time I've met the two. There's a few more previous events where they were present too.

Below is our special video presentation we made during the 1st leg of Corona Sunsets City Escape. Photos follow.

Wazzup Pilipinas Adventures on Picturebooks

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you remember our Pampanga Hot Air Balloon and Restaurant Tour last February? Well, it's time we compile our photos and turn it into a book. Similar to what you see in bookstores, or from the shelves of your bookcase or library, we are turning our memories into a physical book. Not the electronic or e-book, but something made from paper.

Hardbound and with glossy pages, those are the preferred type for our book, and a company called Picturebooks is going to help us bring this effort to reality. Yes, they'll be producing our book for us. It will contain some of the many photos from our tour together with stories from every part of the adventure.

It will mention all the stops we did starting with our visit at the 20th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta at Clark air field where we witnessed stunning balloons of different shapes and designs.

It will also take us to the 50s while dining at Downtown 1956 Cafe by Bale Dutung, to dining on authentic Japanese cuisines at Yu-Fu-In, to Koko Buri and it's Canola oil deep-fried chicken and other international dishes, to our posh rooms and the spacious pool area of Holiday Inn Clark and our buffet lunch at Mequeni restaurant,

More information will come soon as we have our book finally printed. I will create another blog post when the actual book is with us already.

Alodia Gosiengfiao Talks About Responsible Gaming

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Alodia Gosiengfiao posted online something worth reading and reflecting to. The shout out was an update to accompany her Facebook profile photo. She talks about gaming and casually defends it against issues of addiction and interfering with studies. For me, gaming is not bad as long as you know how to control yourself. Know your limitations to avoid getting negatively hooked.

Some gamers have become arrogant and have big bad manners. It's great that someone like Alodia Gosiengfiao does these kind of shout outs to remind some players to keep chill in the gaming world. In this times, some students are staying at gaming shops rather than attend their classes. Hoping some of those gamers that follow her at social networking sites get this message.

"Most cases of "video game addiction" which has been popularly used to demonize gaming mostly involve people who already have deep personal underlying issues. It just so happened that their escape was video games. If they didn't do video games, they'd be abusing some other form of escape.

Of course, because it's a complicated issue, most people don't even try to educate themselves on it which is a real shame. Sure, video games have the tendency to really hook you and you lose hours into it. But if you're already a responsible person to begin with, you can always manage it and not let it be something detrimental to your personal life."
