Cartoon Network brings summer camp festival Toonfest 2015





Cartoon Network is home to best known and well loved cartoons such as Ben 10,  Adventure Time, and The Amazing World of Gumball.  The kids no.1 tv show once produced Powerpuff Girls Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup which I missed a lot but heard that Cartoon Network have plans of bringing it back next year, which is good news from Powerpuff Girls fans!




Finn and Jake are the two popular characters from Adventure Time, I hate to admit but despite my age I get to watch these two every weekends with my grandchild Finn, named after Finn the character. I loved how Finn and Jake (with his stretchy powers)  fights the evil together with Princess Bubblegum. Every episode teaches good life lessons for kids and adults as well.



Cartoon Network capped off their summer vacation just in time for the kids vacation with their TOONFEST 2015 last May 23 at SM Moa Music Hall. The festival showcased their favorite cartoon characters from Cartoon Network, now the number one kids' channel in the Philippines and hosted the free-for-all event treat for kids of all ages.





Now on its second year, Toonfest returned as a summer camp festival inspired by Cartoon Network’s hit shows. Kids and families engaged in activities including face painting, photo-booth selfies, arts and crafts, and many more.


Visitors had the chance to meet and greet the stars from the popular hit series Adventure Time, Ben 10: Omniverse and The Amazing World of Gumball. Live musical acts also filled the festival with music as participants danced and sang along to familiar Cartoon Network tunes.



It was the perfect send-off to a hot summer and many of the participants look forward to next year’s Toonfest. Cartoon Network Toonfest 2015 was supported by Wiggles, Johnson’s and Johnson’s Active Fresh; in participation with Swift Mighty Meaty and Nerf; and made possible by Appebon, Argentina Meat Loaf, and Jollibee. Special thanks to Cignal, SM Mall of Asia and Grab Taxi. For more details, visit the Cartoon Network Toonfest 2015: Philippines event page on Facebook or CartoonNetworkAsia.com.

TWG launches the world's most luxurious Iced Teabag Collection




My love of teas started 8 years ago, when my sister bought some expensive tea sachets from abroad. I loved how the vanilla/flower notes enveloped the room each time I made myself one.  The smell alone calms me.   Since then I have been buying and collecting teas, locally and or abroad, from loose leaves to flowers to teabags and put labels on them on a glass container. I have acquired the taste and surprised that I could distinguish one from another. From white to red, black, green and blue tea, yes there is a blue tea. I have loved them hot or cold without sugar. Surprisingly, my love of tea had some good effects on my health because of its antioxidant power, I lost considerable amount of weight which is good and had cut on sugar bingeing, my cravings for pork, sodas and artificial juices stopped and I managed to maintain the right weight for my height.  The tea thing works for me.  My skin cleared up too and discovered that my wounds healed faster with them. It has countless benefits  and If I have to calm myself with all the stress , one sachet of chamomile tea or lemon greentea would do.



I got the first taste of TWG teas at TWG Salon tea in Abu Dhabi Mall. I love the store interior and how the teas were lined up in colored tin cans. It was sort of library of teas from outside and the smell coming from the steeped teas alone were inviting. TWG is the high end of teas, the finest teas of the world.  This is one of my favorite brand, it does not come cheap,  but you get what you paid for.



TWG recently launched its most luxurious collection of 15 teabags especially crafted for the preparation of iced teas last May 21 at TWG, Tea Salon and Boutique, BHS. The tea salon offered all kinds of teas to the guests, from hot to cold. The place smelled of sweet vanilla notes, apples, and strawberries. It was indeed a haven of teas. I ordered french earl grey and had a cup of jasmine ice cream. The teas compliment their macarons.


The iced tea collection comes in fifteen varieties of whole tea leaves carefully proportioned and packaged for the expert preparation of delicious TWG iced
teas.

Luxuriously handcrafted with natural materials, every TWG Tea Iced Teabag contains the exact same handpicked, whole leaf teas retailed loose at TWG Tea Boutiques. The teabags are entirely hand sewn and are free from metal staples and glue which are detrimental to the quality and flavour of the tea. Made of light transparent silk and round in shape, reminiscent of the summer sun, TWG Iced Teabags are all handsewn and placed in TWG Tea packaging embossed with the name of the tea in gold lettering.



Each of the fifteen keepsake gift boxes enclose seven precious Iced Teabags, each containing 7.5 grams of tea perfect for a large carafe of iced tea.  TWG Tea has spared no expense in creating the ultimate iced teabag, demonstrating its deep-rooted commitment to quality and attention to detail.



This exceptional collection includes TWG Tea classics from TWG Tea such as the French Earl Grey, Eternal Summer Tea, Moroccan Mint Tea and Darjeeling,
 as well as TWG Tea exclusive blends such as Sweet France Tea, Pink Flamingo Tea and Cocktail Hour Tea. Whether you are craving something sweet or in the mood for something light and tangy, TWG Tea’s Iced Teabag collection has carefully handpicked in this collection.



For the finishing touch, TWG Tea presents the perfect accompaniment - an Iced Tea Carafe series available in eight vibrant colours. Made of a very light Plexiglas, it is the perfect accessory to serve a refreshing glass of iced tea to delight and tantalise the senses of tea-drinkers everywhere. Carafes are retailed
at P6295 which yields a litre of iced tea.

Tresemme is back with Runway Ready Backstage Fashion Show year 2.

THE TRESEMMÉ RUNWAY READY BACKSTAGE FASHION SHOW IS BACK



TRESemmé, the brand used by hair professionals, is back with its Runway Ready Backstage Fashion Show year two. Manila’s stylesetters and fashionphiles are once again given “backstage access" during one of the country’s most awaited fashion shows.



For the 2015 Runway Ready Backstage Fashion Show, TRESemmé puts backstage magic front and center, as guests witness live action behind the scenes where top hair trends are recreated right before models hit the runway.

Three of the country’s top hair professionals and TRESetters—Jing Monis, Lourd Ramos, and Victor Ortega collaborated with three of Manila’s most celebrated designers to recreate various long hair trends, from bombshell blowouts to longtails and braids and twists. Meanwhile, designers Rajo Laurel, Francis Libiran, and Rhett Eala are set to present their exclusively created ensembles inspired by the brand’s newest range, TRESemmé Split Repair. As the Split Repair range makes for long, gorgeous and smooth tresses, the designers’ works will incorporate long, clean lines, and fluid strokes to go with Runway Ready long hair.



AS LONG AS IT TAKES 

Jing Monis recreates straight and stylish ‘dos for Rajo Laurel’s collection with TRESemmé’s Split Repair—from shiny hair in long ponytails held high or tied low at the nape to “out of water” styles that are uber-sleek and shiny. “Chic and classic, long hair is sure to stand the test of time, but how you style it is the key to staying modern,” says Jing. “This season’s high, sleek and ultra-long ponytails, or wet and shiny tresses pulled back or combed up are perfect ways to style your long straight hair.”

Rajo brings this vision to life with beautiful fringed creations, from pieces that feature asymmetric or uneven fringed hems to layered fringed skirts and even embellished collars with fringes—all evocative of the various styles and lengths of salon-gorgeous hair only made possible by TRESemmé Split Repair. “My collection was inspired by long, gorgeous straight hair. I highlighted the concept of hair smoothness and length—with a sheen on fringes and unified movement.”




MOVE IT 

Inspired by bombshell blowouts, tumbling waves, as well as dramatic big buns that ruled the 2015 runways, Lourd Ramos recreates a couple of renditions for Francis Libiran’s collection. The collaboration showcases two sides of a story—flowing, moving, liberating, as well as shaped and structured. Loose features, soft fabrication plus sculpted pieces make for the designer’s feminine pieces—while Lourd’s long, wavy ‘dos and stylized big buns provide the perfect complement.

“Hollywood-like bombshell blowouts work great for all face shapes, while big buns create a certain drama and allure,” assures Lourd. “The longer the hair, the better!” Just like Split Repair treated hair that’s shiny, soft, and moisturized, Francis’ features long, flowy pieces that move along with every step, as well as more sculptured pieces that mimic long hair styled in a more structured ‘do.



BRUSH IT UP 

Victor Ortega relies on his creative prowess to make a mix of twists, loose ‘dos, and all sorts of braids, only possible with long and beautiful tresses, for the collection of Rhett Eala. His elaborate long hair ‘dos—from twisted rope braids to classic plaits—are made to perfectly match the designer’s fine lines and fluid strokes. “Just like the stunning abstract strokes of Rhett which were inspired by the season’s hair twists, my hairstyles feature loops, knots, braids, among others,” shares Victor.

Rhett’s pieces, true enough, feature gentle color sweeps on necklines or elaborate strokes on full skirts. The fluidity of the strokes on each of his creations is made possible by the use of paint brushes made of human hair that were treated with the TRESemmé Split Repair line. “With the range binding split ends, finer and smoother brushstrokes allowed me to make more precise works of art,” says Rhett.






LONG SALON GORGEOUS HAIR, YOU CAN WEAR 

You too can achieve the looks of the Runway Ready models right in your own home, as effortlessly executed by TRESemmé’s hair professionals. Having the TRESemmé Split Repair line on your own dresser is just like having the pros’ work at your fingertips, truly giving you the extra edge to style your hair the way you want it. With this new range, split ends won’t get in the way of achieving this season’s long hair trends. Its revolutionary sealing mechanism Repair Complex binds up to 88% of split ends.

Switch & save with the Watsons "Seaprincess" Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes


Get as much as 80 percent savings when you buy Watsons Label products



Ive been visiting Watsons once a week when there is a need to buy for toiletries, vitamins and wet wipes. Yes,  wet wipes! there are so many available variants and scents and they are always on sale.  I cant leave the house without wipes. I discovered recently that they are selling high end foundations and make ups, and Kanebo Kate line are now on their beauty stands. There is no need to visit Makati or Shangri-la mall for my 2-way foundation.

Everybody knows Socialite, writer, the seaprincess herself,  Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes, she has been a constant fixture at social networks. Last May 2, Ms. Tessa dropped by Watsons SM Aura premiere and surprised shoppers as she suggested some personal favorites to them. She manned the pharmacy counter and offered the switch and saved Watsons generic vitamins.


She also assisted the shoppers to decide on what to buy and compared prices. She helped me with my loot, I bought 3 Watsons wet wipes which was a good deal, buy two and get one for half a price. I also bought another favorite, the Watsons Argan Oil shampoo, which has a nice scent and is good for my wired hair.


From personal care items, beauty essentials, and even medicine, Asia’s leading personal care store now offers a wider variety of products under its own label, giving shoppers the choice to save as much as 80 percent without compromising on quality.



With such irresistible deals, the campaign has caught the attention of several celebrities  who have made the Switch and Saved including Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Patty Laurel, Iya Villania and the newest addition to group, Christian Bautista.





“A smart shopper knows when she is getting a good deal, that’s why a lot of us are always at here at Watsons, Valdes points out. “You’d be surprised with the savings you get just by choosing Watsons label products!”

To keep her looking picture perfect she chooses Watsons Body Serum Whitening that instantly lightens and reduces dark spots and visible imperfections. There’s also Watsons Body Lotion Whitening Mulberry designed to nourish and helps to provide whitening effects, giving you fairer and radiant skin.



Her bath essentials meanwhile include; Watsons Cream Handsoap Strawberry and Yoghurt that effectively cleanses and protects hands from dryness; Watsons scented cream body wash with goat milk; to gently slough off dead skin cells and helps to hydrate and brighten the skin and Watsons Milk & Salt Scrub Whitening to help enhance the skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells.



To keep her skin looking healthy and protect it from free radical damage, Tessa relies on a couple of products; Watsons Glutathione to lighten skin and prevent skin darkening caused by UV exposure; and Watsons Vitamin E to prevent eye disorders and help her avoid a number of diseases.




“How Deep Is Your Love” Iconic Song to be Part of Saturday Night Fever Asian Tour


“How Deep Is Your Love” the 1977 mega-hit by the Bee Gees, will be released as a single that will be part of an original cast recording of the Asian Tour of the stage musical version of Saturday Night Fever.



The Asian tour will have stops in Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and will star Brandon Rubendall who will play Tony Manero and Jenna Rubaii who will play his dance partner and eventual love interest Stephanie Mangano. The two will also perform the song on the musical’s official soundtrack (OST). The Manila leg, mounted by the Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group (ATEG) in close coordination with the Robert Stigwood Organization, will have performances from July 3 to 26 at the Theatre, Solaire Resort and Casino.

Everyone knows the song well. Originally intended for Yvonne Elliman (who later recorded "If I Can't Have You) instead won an award for Best Pop Performance by a Group at the 20th Grammy Awards held in February 1978 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 on 24 December 1977 (becoming the first of six consecutive US number-one hits) and stayed in the Top 10 for a then-record 17 weeks. It also ranked number 375 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.



In a 2001 interview the Bee Gees'did for Billboard magazine, Barry Gibb reportedly said that "How Deep Is Your Love" was his favorite Bee Gees song.

Said Barry: "A lot of the textures you hear in the song were added on later. We didn't change any lyrics, mind you, but the way we recorded it was a little different than the way we wrote in terms of construction. A little different for the better, I think, the title 'How Deep Is Your Love' we thought was perfect because of all the connotations involved in that sentence, and that was simply it.”

That iconic song will make itself heard again to a whole new generation of listeners once the Asian Tour of Saturday Night Fever takes off.

Marie Rose, Rafa Siguion-Reyna, Mikkie Bradshaw, Jamie Wilson and Carla Guevara-Laforteza are also joining the show’s 20-strong cast.

Broadway choreographer Vince Pesce, Tony Award-winning scenic designer David Gallo, original lighting designer of “Saturday Night Fever” on Broadway Paul Miller, costume designer Eric Pineda and musical director Ceejay Javier are also part of the creative team.

The Manila crew is working in close coordination with the Robert Stigwood Organization whose founder, Mr. Stigwood, produced the original Saturday Night Fever film and its various stage incarnations from 1998 to the present.

Director Bobby Garcia reveals: “We’re using a brand-new script (originally written by Nan Knighton, in collaboration with Arlene Phillips, Paul Nicholas and Mr. Stigwood) that brings back a lot of the grittiness and the coming-of-age in a tough world aspect of the movie. It’s edgy and exciting. It’s a completely conceptualized production.”


He is excited that the famous movie musical is being re-invented for a stage audience across Asia, and that “How Deep Is Your Love” will be heard again via this new cast recording of the stage version.

“We have a first-rate creative team and have assembled an amazing cast,” he says. “I think the quality of the show will speak for itself once it’s up on its feet. This production will be everything Saturday Night Fever should be.”

Mr Pizza is now "On Air" in the Philippines!

Pizza lovers, rejoice!



There are so many pizza restaurants in the country that you have checked in and most probably have some of your personal favorites from them.  But wait till you have a bite of that mouth watering, chewy, delicious and sweet  "Eggta" pizza from Korea's Mr Pizza. Let your taste bud decides. Mr. Pizza promises to be the next destination for pizza lovers. They offer a wide variety of pizza flavors, pastas, and chicken dishes.  Their Mr. Chicken (wings) are my next favorite aside from Egg Ta pizza.





Mr. Pizza, Korea’s Number 1 pizza chain is now in the Philippines! The good news is that you dont have to book a flight to Korea to have a taste of their sumptuous, fresh pizzas. They are now opening their 505th branch here in Manila.

Their pizza is #100 handmade dough, and kneaded right before your eyes. You can see their chefs tossing and kneading doughs around the see through kitchen. Creating your pizza right before your very eyes. Their ingredients are freshly made for you to enjoy.  They dont put oil or preservatives on it.  

Diet-conscious pizza fans would love Mr Pizza’s Smarty Pizzas. These are thin crust pizzas that are not too heavy but still packs in a lot of flavors. “Having Smarty pizza with beer is a recent trend among young folks in Korea,”Mr. Sonsaid.


The all-time popular gourmet pizza’s first branch located at the ground floor level of Greenbelt 3 Ayala Center, Makati City will be MrPizza’s  505th worldwide.

“We are number one in Korea, and we will do our best to be number #1 in the Philippines. We plan to expand aggressively in the coming months so watch out for a lot of store openings,” said Mr. Son.



We take pride in being able to provide Filipinos the opportunity to experience Korea’s best-tasting pizza. It is definitely something to look forward to,” says Tony Son, Mr. Pizza Korea’s Director for Global Division.

Originated in 1990, Mr Pizza has been number 1 in Korea since 2009. It is the only food brand listed in the KOSDAQ, a first in the food and beverage industry.

Other Mr. Pizza locations overseas include of course Korea, China, and United States among others.

Among others, Mr. Pizza credits its success to its unflinching commitment to cleanliness, kitchen sanitation, store ambience/atmosphere, ingredients, and customer service.




Mr. Pizza abides by the 300% principle:  100% Hand-Kneaded, 100% Full-Hearted Topping, and 100% Grill-Baked.

“Among everything else, however, we are very strict with food quality,” adds Mr. Son.

“It’s a pact written in stone. That is our commitment,” Mr. Son said.

When it comes to variety, Mr. Pizza can rightfully claim that it's the only brand, which offers very unique flavors.



“There is nothing in the market that is similar to our top-of-the-line pizzas - Eggta, Seafood Island, Potato Gold, Gesal Montand, Macho Grande, and Secret Garden,” prides Mr. Son.

Toppings include shrimp, crabmeat, round steak, chicken breast, and buttery potato, which are not only delicious but also healthy.




Pizzas under the Classic Pizza category include a variety of traditional pizza flavors with “live” dough, fresh sauce and flavorful cheese.

Mr. Son adds: “Once you taste our oil –less pizza that’s when you’d discover the difference!”
Other items that would go perfectly well with Pizza are Mr. and Ms. Chicken,  and our varieties of Pastas.

No doubt Mr. Pizza is a must-try – fresh, unique, flavorful, fun and scrumptious!
