Snacks, Surprises and More at Oishi Snacktacular

I attended my first Oishi event last year,  here http://lemongreenteaph.blogspot.com/2014/02/my-oishi-owow-moment-with-daniel-padilla.html.

It was I tell you the happiest and most fun event that I have attended, because Daniel Padilla reignited the fan in me, and  that was the day I discovered Oishi's Oaties milk and Choco Chug, which I have been buying from the supermarket and instantly became my breakfast staple.

 Fast forward to today, when I heard that an Oishi Snacktacular event is coming up first week of August, I cant contain my excitement, I have to attend this and have to witness what the Oishi O Wow Snacktacular will offer, this time in public at The Trinoma Activity Center.

When I saw the  Oishi Snack Catcher situated right in the middle of the activity center, I just cant wait to put my harness, dive, jump and grab all the snacks that  awaits my short arms. I got to try the Oishi Snack Shack first with fellow bloggers Earth Rullan and Marjorie Uy.

I got my eye on the Wafu Creamy Leche Flan rolled wafer, choco chug and oaties milk and choco crunch snacks.  In a span of 60 seconds, we went crazy grabbing everything and tried to put all the Oishi goodness inside the 2 ft. Oishi bag. I should have gotten 2 bags. Exhausted from all the madness mini shopping, I treated myself to the Slush-C booth and a special soft-serve sundae made from Oishi Choco Chug Chocolate Milk Drink and filled it up with my favorite Oishi toppings!

What better way to enjoy your weekend by visiting the Oishi Snacktacular 2015 at the Trinoma Activity Center with your family. The Oishi Snactacular 2015 opened  up yesterday  August 7, with Oishi Ambassadors Elmo Magalona and family, Slater Young, Ramon Bautista with celebrities Christine Patrimonio, Kean Cipriano.

Whether you love that crunchy sound or can’t get enough of its satisfying taste, everyone enjoys eating their favorite snacks - especially snacks we’ve grown to love through the years! After the success of last year’s event where Oishi lovers were encouraged to be creative snack makers, the much-loved snack brand made things even bigger at the Oishi Snacktacular 2015
.

Oishi lovers were treated to three-day event filled with a bevy of surprises. Giving everyone the opportunity to roam around the Trinoma Activity Center, customers enjoyed all sorts of activities and treats. An exhilarating and creative field of play, this event boasted some of the most unique and simply O, Wow activity booths for family and friends to enjoy!

At the Oishi Snack Catcher, participants were strapped into harness and dipped into a pool of Oishi snacks for them to grab all they can. While some had their thirst quenched with Oishi’s very own Smart C+ slushies at the Slush C+ booth, others had their sweet tooth satisfied  with a special soft-serve sundae made from Oishi Choco Chug Chocolate Milk Drink topped with their favorite Oishi sweet and savory treats like Oishi Pillows, Wafu Leche Flan, Gourmet Picks Potato Chips and Marty’s Baconette Strips. 

Other participants got to create their own personalized bag of Oishi at the Make Your Own Snack area where they picked out from  a selection of Oishi chips to go along with different flavors such as cheese, barbecue and nori. Keeping up with fun and games, guests at the Snack Shack ran around to fill up their limited edition 2 ft. Oishi giant pack with all their favourite Oishi snacks and beverages in 60 seconds.  Another surprise were the special celebrity guests who were the servers at each Oishi station. Now that’s some kind of special service!

One of the highlights was having Alex Gonzaga, the latest member of the Team O barkada to join the current line-up of Elmo Magalona, Kathryn Bernardo, Slater Young, Ramon Bautista and Daniel Padilla who all effortlessly  turn up the O, Wow factor for their fans and Oishi lovers.

My Oishi OWow! Moment with Daniel Padilla

“I had my entire Saturday planned when my editor [ED] texted me at around 10 am asking to attend an  Oishi event scheduled at noon.

I said yes, took a quick shower, grabbed a shirt and a pair of jeans, laced up my chucks and rushed to the LRT. It usually took an hour to get to Bonifacio Global City from my place but because of the heavy traffic– and no thanks to the wrong directions ED gave me (“Just look for the IHOP Building, he said”) which was

actually a few blocks off — it took me an hour and a half to get there.

I had to ask 5 guards on almost every street corner who were equally confused before I finally made it to the W Bldg building on High Street. I had to freshen up inside the elevator, since I was perspiring from the long walk and thankfully looked less haggard when I reached the Skye Lounge.

The venue looked quite different from the night parties/event photos I see on Facebook as it transformed into a festive summer arcade with the bright red , yellow, orange and green, colors of my favorite Oishi snacks. There was a mini Oishi Sari Sari Store stacked with everyone’s favorites crunchy treats and I loved the color blocking it creates–plus their healthy drink Oaties and Smart C+.

After signing the guest list, Miss Martha of Bridges PR handed me a white towel, an Oishi sack bag, and a pink Oishi printed scarf and told me that there would be a  game and I was part of the pink team.  The program had already started with RJ Ledesma doing hosting chores with a female radio DJ.

I squeezed my way near the front of the stage hoping to get some decent photos and noticed there were a lot of celebrities, media and bloggers, some with their entire families in tow to support the event. Some of the celebrities I spotted were Phil and James Younghusband, Mikaela Lagdameo Martinez and family, Pia Magalona and her children, Anton del Rosario and Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdez with her daughter Athena.  There were also several young children running around mesmerized by all the goodies around them.

Oishi’s O! Wow! endorsers were then introduced to lead their teams–Ramon Bautista for the Green Team, Elmo Magalona for the Red Team, Slater Young for Yellow Team.

RJ then described the games available such as the Oaties milk the cow, Ramon’s Boot Camp, Scramble, the Elmo Jeep, Slater Young’s Zorb, a big rolling plastic ball and Daniel’s Padilla’s shoot out basketball hoop and the prizes at stake for the winning team. 

As I was busy taking pictures, RJ then called in another ambassador for Oishi– and I was taken back by the sudden movements of everyone pointing their cameras to the guy in a white Oishi Team O shirt, wayfarer shades, tattered jeans and his high cut running black shoes– I actually caught a whiff of his scent before I saw him come up the stage– and he smelled divine.

And just like that, it seemed time stood still for a moment as everyone’s eyes were glued on this teen heartthrob they call DJ or Daniel Padilla.

I admit I am more of a fan (make that die-hard fan)  of his uncle Robin Padilla way back my college days, and Daniel exuded almost that same rugged charm and mystery that made most girls and ladies–including me find irresistible .

Not to sound like a cradle snatcher, but I finally understood why he’s one– if not the most popular teen actor today. He has loads of appeal, he is young, fresh and was quite taller than I expected.. His famous #medyobadboy also perfectly suited his rebellious image though he was really quiet.

He was, or should I say seeing him was my perfect Oishi O Wow! moment. Much as I hate to admit it, I felt like a high school girl who just met her long time crush. Had they asked to us to form a Daniel Padilla fan’s club on that day, I would have volunteered– or fought my way to be president. I think I’m still blushing as I type this.

I was on cloud nine and I forgot about walking 30 minutes under the heat of the midday sun and that my stomach was already growling for some decent lunch.

I stood there dumbfounded as Daniel displayed his basketball prowess, shooting hoops, and gamely posed for photos with everyone. I keenly observed how he smiled, the way he talked, walked and posed.

What I’d do to be in Kathryn Bernardo’s shoes and spend a day with Daniel Padilla…hayz.

Just as Ed instructed (REQUESTED lang! –ED), I went home carrying a big bag full of Oishi goodies…and an Oishi OWow memory in my heart that would always be remembered.

Happy 40th anniversary Oishi! Thanks for re-igniting the fan in me after all these years. I didn’t know Johnny Depp would ever have to share top spot with a much younger Daniel Padilla.

Curse of the blurred photo-op! haha.

Now I couldn’t wait for the next Oishi O Wow! event!
