You know you have been in Japan, when you experience cherry blossoms in March to early April depending on weather condition. The cherry blossom season in Japan is a favorite time of  the year for locals and international travelers alike.

This year, Starbucks also embraces the changing of the seasons with new Springtime favorites inspired by Cherry Blossom. The Azuki Blossom Cream Frappuccino is as dreamy as a Spring day in Japan with its velvety milk and sweet red bean base, topped with whipped cream, falling petals of white and pink rice blossom petals, and tart dried cranberry bits.



Starbucks also offers a green tea variation with the Matcha Azuki Blossom Cream Frappuccinowhich blends the bright flavors of Matcha and sweet red bean. This cherry blossom treat is also sprinkled with pink and white rice petals and cranberry bits on top of whipped cream and red beans.



For those who want to bring spring’s unique flavors into their cup of coffee at home, the Starbucks Spring Season Blend combines four distinct coffees from around the world to deliver a big syrupy body with dark cherry and cedary spice flavors.

Aside from delightful cherry blossom beverages, stunning Sakura-themed merchandise is also ripe for the picking in Starbucks stores. With a dainty palette of pink, purple, and gold, the collection depicts two kinds of cherry blossoms, inspired by traditional hand drawings and oil paintings that captures its beauty.



Some items from the collection include double-walled mugs with rubber lids in Blossom Pink and in Blossom Gray with Sakura motifs, tumblers like the clear Cold Cup designed with a sprinkling confetti blossom and complemented with a lid and straw, and even adorable Bearista Bear Keychains in pastel pink. 



Complete the collection with the 2019 Sakura Card, designed to show the delicateness of the Cherry Blossom’s pale pink petals. The card is available for an initial activation amount of Php300 per card.

Starting March 12, customers who purchase any of the two featured beverages can experience Cherry Blossom at Starbucks. Customers simply need to scan the QR code that can be found in each cup when they purchase either a Matcha Azuki Blossom Cream Frappuccino or an Azuki Blossom Cream Frappuccino. After scanning the QR code, they will need to locate the banner with the Cherry Blossom to trigger the AR experience.

giordano ladies launches Spring/Summer 2019 collection





 This is just sooo me. Its time to change your look over  the summer by these giordano ladies Spring/Summer 2019 collection. 



The night skies are full of eternal tales told by the stars, so which constellation will you explore next?



The giordano ladies Spring/Summer 2019 collection reimagines the charm of the ever-changing landscape of constellations. Inspiration takes form in abstract geometric or linear details, manifested as contrasting black and white or an interplay of varied shades of lightness and darkness.



In designing its latest collection, giordano ladies focused on creating simple, clean, modern classic clothes for the modern-day Filipina that capture the enchanting glow of the night. The collection contains various timeless pieces that embrace the romantic night skies and the magnificence of its celestial bodies, embodying the elegance and the dynamic lifestyle of women in this generation.



The giordano ladies Spring/Summer collection offers asymmetric pieces, culottes, pleats, knitted tops, and cardigans, with colors and patterns that resemble the dramatic and romantic night sky and the stars. Like astronomy, the collection is all about truthful but romantic ideas of our imagination.





Just as the moon’s soothing light shines through the dark, the collection offers a mesmerizing and striking opposition of light and dark. The contrast trim cardigan, boat neck knitted tank, and geometric blocking pleated knitted skirt ensemble has an unexpected, surreal cut-out detail just as how the moon shies away from the long top.



Embracing the starry sky, this constellation-print cotton dress, paired with cotton dobby side-slit culottes and wingtip leather brogues reworked the elegance and timeless beauty of a modern Filipina.





The late chilly breeze and the eloquence of the night inspired the combination of this airy cotton blended swallow tail woven tank and cotton blended maxi culottes.





Stars are glistening in this new collection as tiny reflections of micro sequins are attached to the yarn long cardigan paired with a double-knit tank top and cotton dobby side-slit culottes.



Another palette in the collection is inspired by the shimmering reflection of moonlight on a quiet lake with a watercolor-print asymmetric dress.





Chic and classy. This lake jacquard cotton knitted top with matching jacquard knitted pencil skirt projects one of the countless ways on how they reinterpreted the starry skies.



Visit giordano ladies at SM Aura Premier, SM Megamall Bldg. D, The Podium Mall, The Shoppes, Solaire Resort and Casino, and in Ayala Cebu this April. For more information about the latest collection from giordano ladies, visit www.giordanoladies.com, or like and follow its facebook page at www.facebook.com/pg/GiordanoLadiesPH, or on Instagram at @giordanoladiesph.

Toshiba’s latest line of advanced home appliances



It was in 1930 when Toshiba manufactured Japan’s first electric washing machine and refrigerator. Since then, following decades of home appliance innovations and developments—thermal cookers in 1955, microwaves in 1959, air conditioners in 1961—Toshiba, driven by its takumi spirit—a craftsman’s approach to work in his relentless pursuit of perfection—offers appliance solutions that are designed, engineered, and manufactured with an uncompromising attention to detail, all towards technological innovation and engineering craftsmanship.

Drawing inspiration from the company’s early, pioneering spirit, the Toshiba of today reinforces its presence in the Philippine appliance market through its local partner  Concepcion Midea, Inc., a Joint Venture Company of the  Concepcion Group and Midea.



Addressing the needs of smart and discriminating homemakers, Toshiba introduces a complete range of home appliances that are convenient to use (featuring ease of operation and control) and intuitively designed (through strong consumer research, Toshiba has designed into its appliances the solutions to everyday problems that consumers struggle with).

Each superb product is anchored on superior Japan quality, design, safety, and reliability that Toshiba has been known for all these years: The Toshiba T-07 Washer and the flagship T-07 Washer/Dryer, the 3-SystemOrignFRESH™ Refrigerator, and the top load water dispenser.

For breezy and trouble-free laundry work, the Toshiba T-07 Washer and the flagship T-07 Washer/Dryer comes with a humanistic-oriented design that is aimed at providing exclusive laundry care for your family, powered by its proprietary RealInverter™, Greatwaves™, CycloneMix™, and SenseDose™ technologies.

TheRealInverter™ technology controls rotation speed, which results in reduction of loss and energy saving.

The Greatwaves™ technology was developed based on Flush Wave and Cold Wash, which leads to a great saving and color protecting performance for laundry.


With impeller in the drawer, CycloneMix™ technology makes great increases in detergent dissolution, hence improving washing performance. Detergent dissolution rate is raised by about 20% compared with the model without CycloneMix™.

Based on the integrated sensor, SenseDose™ technology can weight loads and calculate right amount of detergent accordingly, with injection accuracy up to ±1ml. This then dispenses detergent automatically, which leads to minimal detergent residues and waste.

Meanwhile, the flagship T07 series Washer/Dryer comes with the SameLoads™ technology. Compared with the normal washer dryer, the SameLoads™ technology expands the volume of the inner drum up to 25% by making the drum deeper, which helps to effectively enhance drying capacity.

What’s more, each T07 model presents a luxurious, yet ergonomic design with color TFT!



For modern kitchens, and for practical homemakers seeking energy efficient appliances, take a closer look at the1st Japanese Quality 3-System refrigerator in the market: the Toshiba OrignFRESH™ 4-Door INVERTER Refrigerator.

Not only does the Toshiba OrignFRESH™ 4-Door INVERTER Refrigerator keep food in its original state of freshness, vitality, and nutrition for longer, but it also transforms by expanding—increasing capacity by 15%—right when you need it.

With its independent cooling system, plasma odor terminator, and 26 compartments, food can now be kept longer and fresher with no cross-contamination. As well, save up to 20% on energy with its Dual Inverter, which automatically adjusts compressor speeds to cool and freeze food fast using minimal energy consumption.



Finally, Toshiba also takes pride in its line of top loading water dispensers, offering fast heating and cooling: 420 watts heating (providing water outlet temperature up to 85-95˚ C in as fast as 10 minutes) and 120 watts fast cooling (between 3-8 ˚ C in one hour).

Low electrical consumption, safe operation thanks to 2-Step Protection cut-off, electrical shock protection owing to an insulated body material, plus rust-free durability is also guaranteed!

With all these impressive qualities, Toshiba has truly come a long way since its founding in 1875. And as it makes its renewed and revitalized presence felt in the Philippines, today’s intelligent and sensible Filipina homemaker need not look long and hard for home appliances—washing machines, refrigerators, and water dispensers—that offer Japanese reliability, durability, and harmonized design that’s in-tune with their needs and that of their families. For that there’s Toshiba!

Botejyu is home to your favorite Japanese dishes like Okonomiyaki, Pork Paitan Ramen, Takoyaki and The Premium Moonlight Oko





If you're a ramen addict like me, then you should visit Botejyu at their newly opened flagship store at the 3rd level in One Bonifacio High Street. You should try their Pork Paitan Ramen (my personal favorite!) it has a thick and creamy pork broth with sliced pork.  Perfect to partner with Takoyaki!  Savor the creamy broth with its chewy medium soft noodles while its hot. Just because I love my ramen hot and creamy! Ill be back soon to Botejyu and did I mention that Boteyju’s Okonomiyaki is the best okonomiyaki there is!




Botejyu recently opened their 13th branch and flagship store and it was graced by Viva International Food & Restaurants, Inc.’s executives led by Vicente Raphael “VR” del Rosario IV Senior Vice-President and celebrity endorsers Jeric Raval and host Giselle Sanchez.



Botejyu offers authentic Japanese dishes like their bestsellers Okonomiyaki, The Shrimp Tempura,  Platter, Takoyaki, 



Peruse a Japanese dictionary and you won’t find the delightful word “Botejyu”. It’s because Botejyu is a whimsical mishmash of “Bote” (the sound of a just-flipped okonomiyaki) and “Jyu” (the delightful sizzling sound as it cooks on the teppan grill)—an appropriate, poetic, and appetizing way to describe Japan's Pioneer Okonomiyaki and Okosoba Specialty Restaurant Chain.



Botejyu in the Philippines is one of Viva International Food & Restaurants, Inc.’s franchises, the same company that has brought unique and winning brands such as Wing Zone, Pepi Cubano, Paper Moon Cake & Boutique Cafe, and Yogorino. 





The beginnings of Boteyju 
Established in Japan by Eikichi Nishino in 1946, Botejyu takes pride in its name.
Botejyu was born in the gourmet city of Tamade, Osaka originally as a specialty okonomiyaki restaurant, which has been struggling to start over despite the harsh post-war aftermath. The emerging black markets in Osaka carried supplies and provision from the US and these included American flour which was then mixed with water to make pancakes as alternative basic nourishment.
Faced with food shortage, Nishino knew he had to be more innovative and enterprising so he developed this simple, easy-to-cook okonomiyaki, by throwing in whatever ingredient was available.

He also set his eyes on mayonnaise, a condiment that until then was used only to flavor cold food.
After much experimentation, Nishino managed to market mayonnaise as an okonomiyaki topping at his restaurant. The evolution of this nutritious recipe quickly spread in Osaka, making this flour-based food as a staple dish. Nowadays, okonomiyakis are dressed with mayonnaise, but it was Nishino and Botejyu who first came up with the concept.

When Japan underwent rapid economic growth, and to meet customer needs during this era, Botejyu developed new items including the “okosoba”, which is basically okonomiyaki and yakisoba in one dish.

Over seven decades later, Botejyu still delivers authentic Japanese food in every single branch they open  in Japan  Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and in the Philippines.


A bit of everything authentic Japanese…and beyond.
What makes Boteyju special is that it brings the authentic taste of local Japanese food to more people in full support of regional revitalization. Thus, reading through its interesting menu, one can find all of Japan’s local specialty gourmet food from various regions throughout Japan.
To keep the original flavors consistent even to this day, Botejyu is particular about ingredients that go into every dish. Botejyu in the Philippines, in fact, imports 70% of its ingredients—from meats to sauces.

“Aside from our specialty okonomiyaki and okosoba, we also have ramen, tempura, takoyaki, wagyu beef, oko, gyoza, katsu, don buri, yakisoba, teppan, plus other  Japanese comfort under one roof,”  said Vicente Raphael “VR” del Rosario IV Senior Vice-President for Viva International Food & Restaurants, Inc.

Take note of these of some of the specialties: 






Takoyaki takes center stage—if you can’t decide which takoyaki flavor you want, go for the All-star Takoyaki and enjoy six different variants of these sumptuous crisp on the outside, tender and chewy ball-shaped goodies on the inside. The wheat flour-based batter is a proprietary Botejyu ingredient, and goes well with the fresh tako (octopus) bits. It comes with six individual sauces and flavors: umami sauce and mayo, tomato sauce, spicy mentai mayo, thick spicy sauce, and salt and garlic sauce.




Move up to the mains and try Pork Paitan Ramen, a rich and delicious pork and noodle dish dashed with a trace of Botejyu’s magical oil that adds soul to the soup. 




The Shrimp Tempura Platter is also one of their best-selling dishes, a testament to the Filipino love for fried food. The batter is light and crunchy, with hints of natural umami flavors.




If you want something heavy and hearty, the Amiyaki Grilled Pork Rice Bowl beckons. A local specialty of Hokkaido, this rice bowl is topped with thick grilled pork slices and a special soy sauce that lends a sweet-savory flavor.

Boteyju’s Okonomiyaki, an original concept by its founder, is well-balanced and nutritious, having generous amounts of shredded fresh cabbage, and other ingredients melded into the house batter mix.



The Premium Moonlight Oko, in particular, has caught everyone’s weakness for great okonomiyaki with its substantial mixture of beef, pork, shrimp, squid and fried egg cooked in a teppan grill and topped with signature secret sauces and white mayonnaise to produce konomiyaki that’s crispy on the outside but light, fluffy, and flavorful on the inside.

You may choose from other flavors like Mochi & Gouda Cheese, Pork, Pork & Kimchi, Bacon & Cheese, the classic Osaka, among others. The light and creamy Original Osaka mayonnaise that can be found on top of the okos is a Botejyu house formulation.

Always say yes to their yakisoba and get warmed by their Osaka Premium Moonlight, Mixed Seafood, Beef Kalbi Sukiyaki, and the Pork flavors. Botejyu’s  Karaage, meanwhile,  is the number one karaage in Japan, and has become the favorite of chicken-loving Filipino foodies as well.



Other famous dishes include the Teppan Pork Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Beef Sukiyaki Rice Set, Omusoba, and of course, the other original concept, their Okosoba. Also called “modern-yaki” by Nishino, this hearty dish is made with their house yakisoba noodles and cabbage that is packed in between the special batter and egg, a truly comforting dish.

New Premium Selection
With the opening of our flagship branch in One Bonifacio High Street, we will also start to offer new premium dishes that can continue our founder’s mission of bringing the true taste of authentic Japanese traditional cuisine to more people,” del Rosario explained.


Visit Botejyu’s other branches at the SM Mall of Asia, Festival Mall, SM City Dasmarinas,
SM Megamall, Robinson’s Galleria, Robinson’s Magnolia, Ayala Malls Cloverleaf, Ayala Malls Vertis North, Ayala Malls Trinoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, SM Pampanga, Solenad, and soon in Greenbelt, Greenhills, and Ayala North Exchange.

MayWard took to Twitter to reach out to their fans and personally answered customer queries on the convenience of purchasing the device, ease of use and reloading it.

The job of a customer care representative is not easy),” said MayMay.



For his part, Edward said, “It’s the first time I was able to do something like this and I have a newfound respect for everyone who does this type of job, because it’s really challenging. For one, it’s hard to communicate when you are not face to face with the other person to ask more details about his or her concern. You also have to be careful about using unnecessary words.”

Maymay and Edward find the Internet most useful in their work as they turn to social media to constantly update their fans about their activities.



Malaking tulong po ang Internet sa trabaho namin lalo na’t lagi po kaming nag-uupdate sa fans kung ano na nangyayari sa buhay namin. Yun po ang nagiging paraan namin para mapasaya sila.
