Catch Reliant K Rocks the Ayala Malls

I had a pleasure to attend the press conference of Grammy-nominated band Relient K held at Oz Bar, Holiday Inn, Makati earlier. I was actually excited to see them. Because, after four years since their last studio album, Relient K returns with their seventh album, Collapsible Lung.

VJ Chino of Myx hosted the event and were able to interview Relient K's front man Matt Thiessen and Matt Hoopes

Relient K has now produced chart-topping hits from its six full-length albums, five EP's and a Christmas record. They are known for their distinct Christian rock style but the band recently experimented on a new genre with more catchy tunes and bright vocal melodies. 

In their latest album "Collapsible Lung", the 12 songs evoke a free-spirited vibe. I was able to listen to their album and some of my personal favorites are Don't Blink, Sweeter and Collapsible Lung. :)

The band has over two million records sold, two Dove Awards and three RIAA Gold-certified albums attesting to their success.

Front man Matt Thiessen also had songwriting collaboration for some top pop hits including Owl CIty's 2012 summer hit "Good Time", Kelly Clarkson's "Long Shot", and the award-winning "When Can I See You Again" from the animated film Wreck-It Ralph. 

Ayala Malls continuously provides a premiere lifestyle experience as it offers exciting events and spectacular performances both from local and international artists.

And before September ends, expect Relient K band members John Warne, Matt Thiessen, John Schneck, Matt Hoopes and Ethan Luck as they bring high energy rock vocals, fresh new sound and memorable, heart-tugging lyrics when they perform and entertain their legions of loyal fans.

Catch them live at:

Alabang Town Center Activity Center - September 27. 6PM

Market Market! Activity Center - September 27. 6PM

Glorietta 5 Atrium - September 28. 6:30PM

Trinoma Activity Center - September 29. 6PM

Thank you AMPR and Ayala Malls for having me! :)

Watsons' Switch & Save Nation

A week ago at Aracama, our favorite go-to store for buying our daily essentials, basic medicines and vitamins, Watsons Philippines launched their new campaign. What I love about their latest campaign is that Watsons introduced their new line of products for health, skin care, hair care and basic needs that not only we can save a lot of money, but the quality of products are not compromised. 

The savings made by switching to Watsons Label products can go up to 70%, letting customers save a significant amount of money on their day-to-day needs. 

From hand soap, to tissue, lotions, body wash, I'm glad Watsons Label is ready to cater our basic essentials. With Watsons Lable products, smart shoppers can get much-needed personal care items at lower cost without compromising quality.

Manang's Chicken is coming to Gaisano Mall, Davao

 Davaoeños will now have the chance to enjoy Manang’s signature soy garlic chicken and other delightful dishes as they are set to open their first branch outside Luzon. Manang’s Chicken will open their doors this October at the 4th Level of Gaisano Mall, Davao.

Manang’s Chicken became an instant hit when they opened a stall at Mercato Centrale, a weekend market in Taguig way back December 2010. The positive response from market goers urged them to open their first stand-alone store in Ortigas in June 2011. They opened twelve branches within Metro Manila and nearby provinces in less than three years and are continuously expanding to different provinces through franchising. This proves that Manang’s Chicken is, indeed, one of the fastest growing fried chicken restaurants in the country today. 

Their famous double deep fried chicken glazed with original, mild spicy or extra spicy soy garlic sauce has received rave reviews from their customers. Over the years, their menu has expanded to other Filipino comfort food such as Fried Pancit, Cheesy Spaghetti, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Garlic Pork, Fish Fillet and Sesame Beef Stew rice meals. Another must-try is their all natural potato chips with your choice of Spicy Ketchup, Garlic Mayo or Creamy Cheese dips. Cap off your meal with the Velvet Sundae- freshly baked chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream fudge and chocolate chips, a unique Manang’s creation.

Visit Manang’s Chicken- Gaisano and have a taste of this insanely good chicken!

Beauty Counter: pH Care Cool Wind

Ok, let's have a girl talk. :) When you look inside my bag or vanity bag, you will find baby wipes, tissues, make-up remover wipes and wet ones. And these wipes have specific uses, and whenever I need to go to the bathroom, I'll grab one of these wipes to clean-up myself. 

And being a girl, we need to protect ourselves from whatever wipes we use "down there" aka private parts, right? We don't just use wipes just because they are wet, we need wipes that is really safe to use. 

And I'm glad Unilab addressed our specific needs with pH Care Feminine Wipes. 

What I love about pH Care Feminine Wipes: it's alcohol free, hypo-allergenic tested, clinically tested. And it has active cool for extra cool freshness.

Each pack has 10 sheets and resealable too. It's safe to use everyday and very handy. You can just put it inside you purse or pocket and you're ready to go, feeling fresh all the time.

You can choose between Cool Wind or Passionate Bloom scents for you pH Care Feminine Wipes. They are now available in leading drugstores, beauty stores and supermarkets for only Php42!

"Being clean is just not an aspiration, but an action".

Sofi's Outfit Diary x Kiddy's Arts Town

Last Friday, I got the result of Sofi's monthly exam and I'm so happy that she got 100 in Mape, 100 in Math and 100 in English and line of 9 in her remaining subjects. We're so proud of her! I'm so happy that she remembered everything we reviewed. :)

And since we want to reward her, we decided to treat her to Kiddy's Arts Town. Every time we are at Toy Kingdom, Sofi keeps on begging us to try Arts Town. At dahil lagi kaming nagmamadali, I keep on telling Sofi na next time na lang. Kaya last Saturday, we brought her to Megamall and made her wish (wish talaga? lol) come true! :)

Kiddy's Arts Town is a store for art materials, but there's also mini tables and chairs for kids who wants to color their arts right away. It's a great way to bond with your kids too.

We had a hard time choosing what picture should be our first, because, there's so many to choose from. There's animals, flowers, butterflies, princesses, robots, etc. I want sana na medyo madaming pwedeng i-color, but Sofi wants a princess. 

After we pay at the cashier, the lady manning the Arts Town gave us cotton buds, toothpick, tissues and paint/colors. And of course, our chosen drawing. 

Serious at work, haha! ;P After Sofi and I discussed what color should be the hair, her crown, her clothes, we decided to make our princess blonde and we went from there. :) 

You can use toothpick or cotton buds to remove the excess paint. Since wet pa sya, dapat dahan-dahan lang, so not to remove the entire paint. 

Our next project daw, lol!

Tip: don't touch, flip over your drawing para hindi magsmudge yung mga corners nya. When you're finish, give it to the store personnel . They'll put it in the microwave or oven(?) para magdry yung paint. And tadah!! 

small pic is Php149.75 and big pic is Php249.75. Btw, you can stick it to mirror or glass lang.
