Striking Stripes on the Red Carpet

Red carpet glam on striking stripes that’s the theme of the “Myx Awards 2016” at the Kia Theatre, Cubao, Quezon city last March 15, 20

Expect it to be a star studded event, expect all the young rising stars and well acclaimed artists to be attending. It was my first time to attend to this particular awards night, it may be the hippest and grand awards I’ve attended (Hello I was surrounded by people from the media industry).

I didn’t really expect to meet Bretman rock who attended the event (I recently entered a contest for a makeup brand, to be able to win a M&G but sadly no luck for me. I’m glad I got to see him at the event- it was meant to be and highlight of my night!) and got the chance to chitchat with him a bit plus, a selfie too! Excuse my haggard face I just got from duty then attended an event at BGC prior then going back to Quezon city was a hassle (the travel time at EDSA – so much kill time).

My good friend Maris Racal @mariesteller attended as a presenter and my good friend’s sister, Sophia Andres too, It was nice seeing them and didn’t expect to see my nephew (one of the stylist at the Myx awards) -Follow at @rianfernandez888. Shout out to my good friend Sam Hidalgo and her bestfriend for accompanying me!

Imagine myself fangirling to those artists I really like and mandatory for me to ask for a simple selfie.

I got a copy of the list of nominees that night and yeah It was a competitive line-up (everybody was deserving). So its the viewers who gets to choose, I think. You have to vote and register online at the website.

The past Myx awards, I heard usually Sarah Geronimo and Yeng Constantino bag a lot the awards but yet lets give chance to others this time and the tables turned around. Surprisingly, Nadine Lustre dominated the Myx music awards and won a lot! Her named seemed to appeared in different categories along with her IRL partner James Reid. I thought Kathryn Bernardo may stand a chance but the JADINE phenomenon dominates (Certified OTWOLISTA fan here!)

Nadine Lustre was the top winner of the MYX Music Awards 2016, sweeping a total of five awards including Favorite Music Video, Favorite Song, Favorite Artist, Favorite Female Artist, and Favorite Collaboration along with boyfriend and onscreen partner James Reid.

Another big winner at the awards night was young artist Darren Espanto who took home two awards for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite MYX Celebrity VJ.

RnB princess Kyla also shone brightly at the MYX Music Awards as she won Favorite Remake and Favorite Media Soundtrack for her rendition of “On the Wings of Love.”

OPM icon Ogie Alcasid was a big star of the evening as well as he was recognized as this year’s MYX Magna awardee for his tremendous contribution in the local music scene.As a tribute, a mind blowing medley of some of Ogie’s best hits was performed by top OPM artists Jaya, Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, Yeng Constantino, Kyla, Angeline Quinto, Jona, Matteo Guidicelli, Jay-R, Aicelle Santos, and Top Suzara that earned a standing ovation from the audience.

My mom loves Ogie Alcasid, we have his album in our car and my mom plays it when she drops us to school. Then I saw him around our area, I was like this man was part of my childhood and since I heard he is gonna receive an award – He so deserves it. He is an OPM icon and brilliant song writer 🙂

And ika nga mabuhay ang OPM! I was able to watch the performance up front and it was so INTENSE, singing with OPM classic(s) that I’ve grew up hearing and singing to it as well. Matteo Guidicelli, was a revelation to me – he did really have a good voice (I just had a slight fangirl moment).

The 11^th MYX Music Awards which was held at the Kia Theater, was hosted by MYX VJs Ai dela Cruz, Robi Domingo, Tippy Dos Santos, Sarah Carlos, Alex Diaz, Jairus Aquino, and Sharlene San Pedro.

Among the artists and media personalities who graced the much-awaited awards night were Donna Cruz, KZ Tandingan, Kapamilya Chicken Pork Adobo online star Bretman Rock, Cheats, Callalily, Jason Dy, Silent Santuary, Abra, Paolo and Kiana Valenciano, Morisette, Jayda, Denise Laurel, JK Labajo, The Juans, Jensen and the Flips, and Ella Cruz.

Chillax Responsibly with Nestea

I call Nestea the ultimate barkada chillax drink, every session and occasion there is a plunger of Nestea in sight- because Nestea is a good mix with anything.

And for this summer, everybody chillax drink launches its newest variant and their ultimate summer drink, the refreshingly exotic NESTEA Kiwi Lemon Blend -Made from real tea leaves and light and its only 19 calories guys! , this is NESTEA with a kiss of kiwi—the perfect thirst-quencher for a refreshing and relaxing summer. Also for those on a watch on their figure, you can still enjoy the summer not worrying of too much sugar intake on your drink – yet you still need a dose of sugar rush to be able to enjoy and accomplish your bucket list of summer activities.

Like what Leanne Jacinto, AVP Consumer Marketing for NESTEA, shares, “NESTEA is a brand that draws inspiration from the energy & youth of our consumers and wants to be at the forefront of always providing innovative, healthy and relaxing beverages.”

On its 19th year, Nestea gives back and takes the lead in preserving Boracay’s shores through responsible tourism and various activities to keep the island clean. In partner with Boracay Foundation Incorporated (BFI), a non-profit organization composed of over 150 members representing Boracay’s leading establishments, residents, and expatriates, which aims to bolster the island’s environmental, business, and social needs. Together with BFI and NESTEA brand ambassadors Jessy Mendiola, Tom Taus, Joyce Pring, Sam YG and Arisse De Santos, NESTEA is enjoining everyone to take part in coral rescue & replanting and shore & underwater cleanups.

This is a good step for Nestea because they just ain’t promoting the brand or drink, but also the Philippine tourism as well (since summer destinations in the country are blockbusters to tourists and locals) and serving as an example in promoting health wellness to the youth and young-at-heart, it pays to be active and rehydrating with Nestea light drinks. Don’t forget being a role model and showing us that we, humans that it is our mere responsibility to take care of nature not just tidying the shores but everything that surrounds us. I don’t understand why some people just decide to like dump their waste or trash to anything accessible but in fact they don’t know how they contribute in polluting and affect human health too.

Take part of the NESTEA Love the Beach squad of their choice assigned on each day of the three-part shore cleanup sessions. Interested volunteers can log on to www.nestealovethebeach.com.ph, powered by PLDT ALPHA Enterprise & SMART, to register and get more information

Going back to promoting wellness, on April 26, NESTEA opens the weeklong summer event with a 2-day volleyball clinic for the local youth in Boracay. NESTEA Love the Beach, in partnership with Mikasa, the official volleyball of the 19^th NESTEA Beach Volleyball Tournament, also promises an exciting time for volleyball fans and players alike with the return of its iconic intercollegiate beach volleyball competition on April 28. The country’s biggest volleyball belles (Team Plunge) Abigail Marano,Rachel Anne Daquis,Jovelyn Gonzaga,Jovelyn Gonzaga. Then for (Team Chillax) Ella De Jesus, Michelle Gumabao, Cha Cruz, and Sheila Pineda will also be facing each other in the ultimate beach volleyball showdown in the 2nd NESTEA Fantasy Volleyball Match on April 29-30. (Calling all Pinoy volleyball fans!)

To kick it off, finally, in the tradition of hosting the best and most anticipated LaBoracay parties, NESTEA partners with ZoukOut to bring international DJ Kaskade, electronic duo DVBBS, and the country’s hottest DJs to this year’s epic beach party on April 30 and May 1 on Boracay shores. You may get your tickets at SM TICKETS [https://smtickets.com/events/view/4158], Valkyrie, and The Palace Pool Club.

Now here in the Philippines brought to you by Reddimart Multi-resources Inc. in 2015. Known for their refreshing blends of real fruit flavors and authentic tea goodness (“TehBotol”, their jasmine tea drink is very known in Indonesia – I tried it already and If you are a fan of Jasmine tea its better to drink it “chilled”).

Their fruit tea flavored drinks come in variety of different blends they have, the bestselling FREEZE, APEL (Apple), STROBERI (Strawberry) and GUAVA. My top faves are Guava and Freeze. What makes their ice fruit tea special is that icy cool kick every after sip- perfect for beating the blazing heat.

Last March 3,2016 at the Pool Palace Club, hosted by the energetic and bubbly, Joyce Pring. Sosro Fruit tea chillmate Ambassador was introduced, a face who is no stranger to me, the talented Sofia Andres. Finally I got to the chance to meet personally and talk to her – such a sweetheart and so pretty! (I’ve heard a lot about Sophia from her brother -who is a good friend and brother to me).

Love month at Mandala Park Weekend Market

On its 5th leg, Mandala Park has been making a buzz on social media, spread by word of mouth and been highly anticipated every month by foodies. Mandaluyong has bloomed to be the center of lifestyle and wellness in the metro. In celebration to that Mandaluyong tends to promote all greens and healthy living as well and also giving back to the community.

At the heart of Mandaluyong city lies the seat of Litton Legacy, the former site of the company’s textile plant now called Liberty Center. Today Litton is recalibrating its core and is relaunching Liberty Center as a new intergrated mixed use developement called MANDALA PARK. (Mandala is a symbol of balance and focus).

The first time I attended Mandala Park Weekend Market last month, I really had a great time over sumptuous food and rad jazz music with my favorite people in the world (my friends). Every Mandala Park Weekend Market always have different themes. This love month is about love for local.

February 20, Saturday, Mandala Park once again transforms its green, open spaces into a venue for their well curated merchants to showcase locally sourced and crafted produce and provide a platform for holistic wellness in the Middle of Metro Manila hustle and bustle. In collaboration with the Philippine Culinary Heritage to help spread the “love for local” and give the spotlight to merchants who inspire us to love our own Pinoy heritage. Before the event there was a yoga class with Flow Retreats- promoting wellness and holistic state.

Again the line up of stalls this month were a lot in number compared to the last time, there were familiar and new faces. My favorite gingerale by Standford and Shaw Brewing still there, Scout’s Honor’s craft cookie milkshakes, Le Petite Souffle and Ribs Manila were there. Other familiar merchants – Asiong’s Carinderia, Jonas Manila known for their “pares”, Bayani Brew, Craftpoint brewing company Out of the box bulletproof coffee, an Fog city creamery (ice cream!), Wrapped Shawarma and YAKANG YAKA Bater (handmade and local products) – BLOGPOST link at http://www.krishgeek.com/?p=1268

This time I’ve tried PuNta dishes, they were also there the last time. I love their burger meal, topped with egg on the meat patty and their flavorful savory and sweet fries to match with the burger for around PHP 200+.

New faces such as Atsui Apparel (minimalist japanese fashion), Explorer Wax Co. (homemade scented candles), Local household names Edgy Veggy and Pok’e Boy. Filipno Comfort food by Homemade Treasure’s Ensaymada. We have international bites from Huat Pot (Taiwanese-style hot pot) and Taco Vengo (Mexican food).

Last time the music was about rad and loud jazz stylings, this time is the cool and up beat acoustic night – very pinoy chill vibe playing to top chart hits. Philippine Popular Music Festival alumna, Keiko Necesario serenaded the crowd with her original compositions and covers.

So I do suggest to still keep posted with MANDALA PARK WEEKEND MARKET happenings and bring your friends and family too! Follow their Instagram page @mandalaparkph and like their FB page on facebook for updates.
