Top rated tourist attractions in Melbourne

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Melbourne is the Australia’s second largest city which is very vibrant, elegant and multicultural. Am convinced that these are the main reasons why this city tops our list of the best cities to visit in Australia. 

The city also features some of the best hidden lane ways and some of the oldest and historically significant buildings. This short brief will cover some of the best Melbourne attractions that you need to visit and see in 2019.

Federation square

Federation square was opened in 2001 to commemorate 100 years of federation. This means that most of the tourists today want to see what is happening and at the same time have a connection with it till the end of times. When the square was being opened, there were those people that hated it and those others that loved it. 

The square is located opposite of Flinders street station which is a major public transport hub. This means that you may not have a hard time to locate it in the city even if you are visiting the city for the first time.

Royal Botanic Gardens

This garden is located just next to Yarra River which is just two kilometers from the Central Business District. This garden is among the finest gardens in the whole world with a beautiful and an educative touch. The garden was established about 150 years ago and that’s why most of the tourists are coming to see and have some good time in the garden. 

The park covers an area of about 38 hectares and hosts over 8500 species of plants. Most rare species of plants that you don’t see out there are found in this garden. What this means is that visiting this garden is both educative and fun.

Royal exhibitions Building

This building is situated at the district of Cariton. It was constructed in 1880 and served as the meeting place for the Australian Federal Parliament. However, most of its parts are destroyed by fire but the main hall stands tall. You just have to spare two hours of your time to visit this building before you close your tour in Australia. 

This place is also a very common place for local events and even convictions. What this means is that you can actually attend any of the events here at any time you want.

Melbourne Zoo

Sometimes it gets very hard to go see world creatures in the forest. Though, there’s now hope because you can pay a visit to this zoo and you will see several wild creatures. Most of the people are used to seeing Kangaroos, 

Koalas and Emus but there are several others that you can see. There are some elephants and even Lemurs. The elephants here are sourced from Asia and Lemurs from Madagascar.

Eureka Tower

Now you don’t have to leave Australia before you got to the tallest building in the city. It gives you the best view of the city and at the same time affords the visitors the best bird watching point. The building is not only known as the tallest building in Australia but in the southern hemisphere.

Eden Celebrates National Cheese Day in Advance

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Just like bacon, almost everyone loves cheese, well.maybe not those who ate lactose intolerant, since it does come from cow's milk too. But majority of us would agree that cheese has become a significant part of our lives especially when preparing feasts for our families and loved ones.

It is my first time to hear about a National Cheese Day. It seems they have invented a day for almost everything nowadays. May it be for commetcial intentions or to commemorate a special event or personality, celebrating a day for something is an opportunity that could be beneficial for us one way or the other.

National Cheese Day could have been invented to encourage the purchase, use and consumption of cheese, but why not. It is not everyday that we get to splurge on cheese.

Cheese works great for many sandwiches and viands, and our spaghettis are always better with cheese mixed or on top, and Eden is identified as the number one cheese brand in the country. "Pang-masa" for its price, not intimidating for most of our kababayan.

In celebration, Eden invited the Adobo Queen herself, Nancy Reyes Lumen, to talk about some popular cheese trivias and the reasons why we all love to add cheese on our usual meals.

Rafael Baradas, the Assistant Brand Manager of Eden, also shared the brand's commitment towards more satisfying purchase of the cheese brand, and Chef Rosebud Benitez, another popular personality in the culinary industry, also dropped by to share her thoughts.

Watch our exclusive interviews with them to get to know more!

This June 4 is the actual National Cheese Day, so do you have some interesting  cheese-based dishes to flaunt on that special day?

Share with us your recipes and who knows, maybe Eden could give you something special for all that effort.

Below is the official press release from the event:

Eden celebrated National Cheese Day on May 31, 2019. The event took place at Relish Luxe Café in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The brand took the opportunity to share its story and the heritage of cheese in the Philippines.

Today is National Cheese Day! This internet phenomenon may have unclear roots. But what’s clear is everyone can relate to celebrating the deliciousness and creaminess that cheese, particularly the country’s #1 cheese, Eden brings to the dishes we serve our families.

Today is the best day to ask, what’s your favorite way to enjoy Eden cheese? Do you like to eat it in the morning for breakfast, with the solid combination of freshly toasted pan de sal? Or maybe you like to mark your birthdays as many do, with cheese grated and melted over Mom’s or Lola’s delicious Pinoy Spaghetti.  Better yet, you might enjoy cheese when it’s part of traditional fiesta dishes you devour with rice, like Tita’s Caldereta, Mechado or your Ate’s special Buko Salad and Leche Flan for dessert. There are so many ways and occasions we use Eden cheese in our daily lives, that it has become part of our traditions and cultures much like the dishes we love. Whichever way you like to enjoy Eden cheese, you can be assured of its deliciousness and creaminess every time.

Shares renowned Food Journalist and “Adobo Queen” Nancy Reyes Lumen, “Cheese is such a wonderful food that you can’t outgrow it. It is indispensable to our culture and daily lives as Filipinos. Cheese is one of the earliest foods we taste and the delight of it stays on from infancy to adulthood. We have grown up with it and it has been part of our lives all these years. Cheese is practically a “no-fail” ingredient…you can even burn it and it still tastes good. We love cheese because it blends creaminess into our taste buds. It is comfort food!”

“Eden has been helping moms make her dishes more delicious with creaminess and goodness for the past 38 years,” shares Kristen Mendoza, Brand Manager for Eden cheese, manufactured by Mondelez Philippines. “Since the brand was launched in 1981 until now, moms can continue to enjoy the quality and deliciousness she and perhaps her Mother or Grandmother have loved for many years. It’s a promise we make to Moms, that when she uses Eden cheese for the dishes she serves her family, she is able to choose goodness for them.”

Celebrate National Cheese Day today by making your favorite dish or snack with Eden cheese.

Sony Philippines brings ‘Total Vlogging Solutions’ to Manila’s Content Creators

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Inspired by the mission to empower content creators to produce high-quality, interesting, and visually engaging online content, Sony Philippines unveils “Total Vlogging Solutions”— an array of the newest and most innovative vlogging line-up covering cameras and accessories with the RX0 II as its flagship product.

As the world of content creation continues to evolve, the vlogging industry has become more competitive and tastefully experimental. Hence, Sony Philippines aims to be the top-of-mind vlogging partner for professional and aspiring creators through more versatile shooting grips.

Sony introduces grip style shooting

Sony Philippines Managing Director Nobuyoshi Otake shares that with the passion to move together with the fast-evolving digital landscape, Sony Philippines continues to go beyond what is expected of them. Thus, the tech brand supports the new way of vlogging called the “grip-style shooting.”

“We are very grateful for the support from our loyal customers, and lots of them are into digital content creation and entertainment. We always do our best to listen to them – what they need to live their passion. Our latest collection dedicated to “grip-style shooting” aims to help them improve their creative business,” Otake recalls.

“Grip-style shooting” requires a camera that is compatible to a unique hand-held grip. It makes it handier and more flexible to shoot anything in sight since the camera is intact and portable enough, perfect for any given situation.

Last April, Sony introduced one of the brands featured in the newly launched “Total Vlogging Solutions.” The latest mirrorless vlogging camera, Sony A6400, is compatible and is recommended to use on Sony’s unique hand-held grip—perfect for vloggers who are looking for an easy-to-use vlogging set up.


The flagship RX0 II is the tiny tough camera

For vloggers who are after power and portability, the RX0 II is the ultimate choice. This brand-new addition to the premium compact segment captures high quality images and videos. This is powerful enough to shoot internal 4K recording, with upgraded LCD screen that can tilt up to 180-degreesEye AF and image stabilization feature for videos. At the core of the RX0 II sits a 1-inch image sensor, which is more advanced compared to any compact camera we have today.

Apart from the RX0 II and the A6400, Sony completes this powerhouse vlogging solutions with the A6500, RX100M5A, RX100M6, AXP55, X3000R. These products perfectly fit different genres of vlogging whether lifestyle, travel, or beauty.


#VlogWithSony Manila launch

Last May 30, the leading camera brand held the first-ever #VlogWithSony event at the Blue Leaf Pavilion in Taguig. It gathered about 100 of the country’s most sought-after content creators and rising YouTuber stars to welcome the kick-off of the “Total Vlogging Solutions”.

One of the highlights of the event was the talk of Actor-slash-lifestyle YouTuber Vince Vandorpe on how to deliver the best videos that inspire, empower, and appeal to specific audiences with Sony being its vlogging partner.

“In producing creative and unique content, I look for a camera that is powerful and at the same time portable in order for me to move freely as I shoot good content – this is why I love that Sony supports the idea of shooting on a hand-held grip without compromising the footage quality,” Vandorpe shares.

The rise of Sony Philippines’ “Total Vlogging Solutions” only proves that the brand brings its technology to the forefront of vlogging solutions made accessible to all types of content creators in support of their creative pursuits.

Sony Philippines Marketing Manager Hideyuki Wada is hopeful that as they continue to come up with products that are powerful and flexible, they get to capture what the market truly deserves.

“What we offer today is a Sony camera for every type of vlogger. For those who have already made a name in the industry, we give you a wide variety of cameras and accessories to choose from in ways that will elevate your content creation. For the next rising stars, you’re very much welcome to choose from our innovative products that help grow your creativity exponentially. This is what we have in store for our dynamic content creators - the Sony “Total Vlogging solutions”, Wada said. solutions”, Wada said.
