Make Special Events Sparkle at Buddha-Bar Manila

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Buddha-Bar Manila, the metro’s most sophisticated restaurant-bar-and-lounge, is also earning raves as an events place that caters to different occasions. It is the perfect venue for events, launches, and other special gatherings as it can accommodate big groups in its spacious three-story structure and exclusive VIP rooms.

“Buddha-Bar Manila is a world-class venue for world-class talents,” says Arianne Aguja, marketing manager of Buddha-Bar Manila.

And it truly is.

In the last 24 months, Buddha-Bar Manila has flown in some of the world’s most renowned turntablists, among them DJ Kirill Doomski from Buddha-Bar Kiev and St. Petersburg for Buddha-Bar’s Black Tie-themed Third Anniversary party, Egyptian-born DJ Mada, the resident J of Buddha-Bar Budapest with his unique mix of chill-out, electronic and world music sprinkled with an ethnic vibe, and Italian-born DJ Papa, the resident DJ of Buddha-Bar Monte Carlo and his repertoire of Lounge, Chill music, and World music.

Filipinos are very adaptive, resourceful and innovative in everything that they do. We can quickly adjust to any situation and would always try our best to make our homes a happy one regardless of limitations and lack of basic necessities.

We believe that we should continue to smile inspite of challenges and struggles. We are closely bonded with each other. May it be with the family, colleagues, friends or acquaintances, we have that very special link among ourselves.

As consumers, it is awesome to know that there are brands with the continuous effort to identify the various needs of the family especially in the house.

Life takes into consideration many factors including the different stages involving our personal lives as we go through marriage, child birth, etc.,

Samsung Electronics, understands these life stages and concerns so they can come up with the appropriate and matching products that also evolves based on the needs of the consumers.

It is only recently that individuals with the uncanny drive for diverse interests are defined as people with multiple intelligence.

Before, we would be criticized as having lack of focus and trying hard to achieve so many all at once. The eagerness to pursue more than one hobby or career is no longer surprising. Many have learned to accept that there are individuals that are "gifted" and too aggressive to stick to just one.

The presence of Kuya Kim Atienza made the Progress Pre-School GOLD’s Multiple Intelligence Recognition Day a lot more significant since he does represent an individual with the keen intelligence. It's either that or the people who work for him do their research well, and that he is great in memorizing all those trivias and making them appear they are pure stock knowledge coming from from his mind.

Whether its just a show, the way he spoke on stage will make you believe he is indeed very knowledgeable, and has the curiosity that provokes his very often to study more about the many things in this world. Something that needs to be emulated by children to keep them searching for more answers and solutions to so many questions and problems.

The time has come to explore and recognize the different forms of intelligences to help children achieve the most success.

Nestea, the number one iced tea in the Philippines, is at it again with its annual Nestea Beach events. The Nestea Beach events is anticipated yearly by many people including your Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas.

There is nothing better to do this summer than to frolic under the sun playing with fun-loving peeps who also adore the sun, sand and the sea.

I've been itching to dip into the beach waters too after a wild game. The fun of witnessing a game and rooting for our favorite team is so thrilling. The fun becomes a lot more ecstatic when our team wins.
The best part is having several glasses of iced tea to cool us down from the scorching heat. You wouldn't really mind the heat if you have iced cold treats from Nestea.

Nestea gives everyone the most refreshing summer experience with the return of the hottest beach event in the country, Nestea Beach. Now on its 18th run, this year’s event offers everyone to experience summer their own way as it once again hits the shores of Boracay on April 30 to May 3.

With an exciting line up of activities this 2015, Nestea Beach participants will be able to enjoy #MyNesteaBeach the way they want it.

Contrary to what most people know, sunblocks are not only used when you're at the beach. Sunblocks should be used anywhere you are especially when going outside under the sun since we need protection from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Too much exposure under the sun can lead to skin diseases, aside from just turning your complexion darker. We need better protection from the harmful sun rays that an umbrella or hat cannot really offer.

Beauty Elements Venture Inc. (BEVi), one of the leading skin care company, recently launched this year’s summer campaign at the White Moon Bar of the Manila Ocean Park in Manila. The campaign was dubbed as You’re Covered for a Wild, All-out Fun Summer 69 where a promise of fun, exciting, and wild summer experience awaits.

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was among the bloggers who were invited to attend the launch last March 24, 2015. There were also some prominent fashion and beauty bloggers but I couldn't relate since I'm not into the fashion stuff. They look like models because of their height and white complexion but I don't really know who they were. Their handler was with them too.
Well, since the main product sponsoring the event was a sunblock, they definitely need these products to keep themselves white unlike the true colors of Filipinos.

Skin Philosophie by Dr. Kyla Talens Summer Sale and Quick Fixes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Summer time is here and that means more time for beach frolicking under the sun while lying on the sand drinking ice cold San...oopppss!!!

It's time to seize the summer but it wouldn't be cool if we are not looking hot! This is why for the past several weeks many have been working out and staying fit and healthy so that their bodies would look fab come summer time.

However, not everyone have the luxury to spend time in the gym or go jogging every early morning so they could have the perfect body they wanted.

Fear no more, with the technology available to us, it is never impossible to look our best. Nowadays, we can become our very best if we just know the right place to go to achieve immaculate correction of flaws that were caused by an unhealthy diet, too much bad chemicals in our cosmetics, deodorants, and perfumes, pollution caused by too many vehicles and factories, plus an unbearable weather that causes our skin to deteriorate.

The good news is, Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetics and Lifestyle Solution by Dr. Kyla Talens now has a special summer promo and quick fixes that we can avail just in time for summer outing at the beach.

Get ready to flaunt our assets because we are definitely sure we will be getting a lot of stares when they see how Skin Philosophie has crafted our beauty as one of their art masterpieces.

Badingtionary, Badafinitions and Bekinary: Understanding the LGBT Community

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Marami akong friends belonging to the LGBT community. Mas creative at friendly sila compared to others dahil many of them are open, sincere and generous with how they deal with people. Kering-keri nila ang success dahil hard-working at determined.

Nakaka-lurky for the LGBT community kapag nakakarinig ka ng kuwento about mga bloggers belonging to the third sex na sobra-sobrang makalait ng kanilang kapwa bloggers dahil lang umaangat ang mga baguhan sa kanilang estado. Gorah ngayon ang mga mimiganju sa pagkakalat ng mga jiji.

Ang opinion ng sangkatuts ay dahil nagiging insecure at Gelli De Belen na ang mga "Darna na may Ding" kapag nakikita nilang umaasenso at na sholbug sila ng mga newbies dahil nagiging competition na at natatabunan ang kalandian ng mga performance artist nating Badet.

Napapansin na ng mga PRs ang mga baguhan at nakakasama na rin sa mga events na dati-rati ay solo ng mga pranellang Siete Pecadoz at echozerang Wonder Women, kaya shokot at threatened na ang mga beteranong Dyesebel dahil baka sooner or later ay matabunan na ang mga bonggakeang Reyna Elena beauty nila.
Alisin na kasi ang inggit at i-accept na lang na lumalawak na ang opportunities for new bloggers with their own style of writing, influencing or making their presence felt. Walang perpektong tao kaya huwag hanapan ng butas. Palibhasa ay sanay ang mga chipipay na X-Men sa mga showbiz intriga kaya kahit hindi pa man celebrity ay pinag-chihismisan. Yung mga jowa na lang ng mga lulung ito ang kalantariin nila,....aaayy ..Washington D.C. pala kaya Rita Gomez sila sa iba.

Convenience in Online Shopping

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With the rising popularity of online shopping in the country, it s not surprising that many of us would now see more local and foreign companies joining the diverse list of brands conveniently offering their products and services online.

There's actually a lot of online shopping sites out there. Our primary concern right now is finding out which of these sites are offering these products and services at the most competitive price. Wouldn't it be nice if we could easily compare their prices alongside each other. It would be amazing to find the least priced product you can similarly purchase all over on the online market.

Of course we would always look for the least priced product available out there but it's never easy to browse all sites in just one sitting, and we might even lose on an opportunity to purchase if we take too long to decide. There's nothing better than acquiring the lowest priced products, so we can proudly say we bought them at the best bargain price.

It is disappointing to find out later that there's a better offer at another site. Imagine buying a product, then finding out there's the equally same product of even higher specifications available at a much lower price. Some are actually a lot cheaper as compared with the store purchase.

Proud to have been seated with celebrity co-awardees Vina Morales and Karen Bordador at the earlier awarding ceremonies where Wazzup Pilipinas was one of the awardees being recognized for its Outstanding Customer Service for a Community Blog Site.

After a media coverage at a women entrepreneurs conference, and two different restaurants located separately in Manila and Mandaluyong, the last stop of our team was at the Rembrandt Hotel in Tomas Morato QC for another momentous and memorable event for Wazzup Pilipinas.

Thank you to Vina and Karen for the interview and for the iconic "WazzupPilipinas" shout. Your Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas will be showing this on our TV show come May - so please watch out for it.

I was also given the privilege to give the Closing Remarks to end the evening with a blast thanks to the support from my "entourage" composed of the wacky Direk Bam otherwise known as Himlay Payapa, for stepping up on stage first to warm up the audience for my speech (hahaha for your Gancho moves), the Philippine Barter King Bart Abaya for keeping awake even after a whole day of shooting, and the brilliant Direk Christopher Lee Angeles for his superb video angles and impromptu scripts.

Wazzup Pilipinas: A Phenomenal Success (Awarding Ceremonies Closing Remarks Speech)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

This will be my speech for the Closing Remarks for tonight's awarding ceremonies which will be held at Hotel Rembrandt in Tomas Morato Avenue Extension of Quezon City.

I only wrote it last night so it's really what's on the top of my mind. It's not hifalutin as what most people would expect from a speech. I made as simple as possible but as meaningful as can be. After all, we are a simple blog site that grew into more than what it could possibly be thanks to the many supporters who stood by our side and kept patting us on the back encouraging us that no matter how controversial or challenging the path less travelled.

We are still trekking the path that lead towards the most righteous destination. A destination that would remain endless - no end of the road for us - since life should be a continuous travel that should be filled with fun and fervor. Life should be what we want it to be and not what others expect it to be.

Many have said we are so stubborn to listen. But imagine what would have happened if we did. We would have not been at this particular point in our lives. We would have been just one of the guys trying to blend in. What we did was to stand out from the crowd. We created our own branding. We made our site the Pambansang Blog ng Pilipinas - unminding the hits, views, rankings, etc., - We did not concerned ourselves of the numbers because it does not really translate to what we really want to achieve - A legacy to be remembered by all Filipinos.

Three of the biggest Internet companies in the Philippines held a secret dining society for residents in Makati last March 26, 2015. The event was a roaring success, and proved to be an initiative that the teams will continue in the country.

The event took place at one of Lamudi’s trusted client’s developments - The Beacon Makati, and was hosted in the SkyLounge, which is at the 47th floor of the condominium. Views of the Makati Skyline, Manila Skyline and Laguna Bay provided a stunning backdrop to the exclusive affair.

The three companies held a competition over Facebook during the beginning of March, to allow people to win a seat in the Secret Dining Society. Private vehicles from Easy Taxi’s Easy Plus+ service were used transport the guests from a designated pick up point to the venue.

Daniel Torres, Managing Director of Easy Taxi in the Philippines said “We wanted everyone to have a great night, and take away the burden of traveling to and from the location for the guests. We organised pick up locations in well-known places, and coordinated closely with our drivers and the guests in ensuring everyone got a ride to the venue.”

The evening was opened by Lamudi Managing Director Jacqueline van den Ende, who commented that: “We are so glad that the event was a huge success, it was great to see everyone enjoy themselves and mingle with the other competition winners.”
