SM NORTH EDSA’S SANTA’S TOWN THEME

The holidays is no doubt upon us – the cool evening breeze, the fascinating Christmas lights and Christmas decors, as well as the frantic and inevitable holiday rush. Along with the season comes the tiring task of shopping for gifts. The good news is, while mom and perhaps dad are busy crossing out items in their holiday gift list, moving from one boutique to another, the kids can while away the time with the older siblings or their care givers by checking out the picturesque Santa’s Village that SM North EDSA has set up in their sky park.

There are a lot of things to see in the North Pole village. The huge kissing Mr and Mrs Claus along EDSA clues you in on the picturesque North Pole village that SM North EDSA has brought together for you. These attractions are bound to be a hit for both kids and kids-at-heart alike. Read more…

Fast Five Movie…

image credits: trailershut.com

Thanks to Teleserv, I got to watch the newest addition to the Fast and Furious movies. I asked the husband to watch it in my behalf instead since I know he’d enjoy it more that I would, but something came up and he was unable to do so. So I went and watched the movie with other blogger friends. It was refreshing to see some of my blogger friends once again, and to finally meet some in person.

Going back to the movie, as always it’s such a wonder to watch those fancy cars! Real cool cars and well the story line, I’d say it’s really a movie. What I mean by that is that it’s way too ambitious to be able to plan and pull off something like that in real life. Aside from the previous casts, it was fun to see the Rock playing the role of a US top gun on the hunt for Vin Diesel and his troops. The story starts off with Vin Diesel being sentenced to imprisonment and was later on “rescued”. Most of the movie was shot in Rio, where the group decides to target a millionaire engaged in illegal activities and that’s where the whole story revolved.

Nope, I’m not giving away anymore than that. Don’t want to put some spoilers. Just want you to know that I had fun watching the movie. Lots and lots of cars and lots of good laugh as well in between.

Teleserv’s FASTFive Night Out At The Cinema

Last night, I was fortunate to have been invited by Teleserv for a night at the movies, showing Fast Five. When I got the invites I was curious as to why the movie Fast Five and the connection to Teleserv or Citizen Services. When the cinema was almost brimming with bloggers, came the answers to my question. Apparently, Teleserv is the people behind the door-to-door service of NSO. Yes, they are responsible for making our lives so much more convenient. We were told that the company has been in existence for more than a decade now, and is also catering to some fast food chains when it comes to receiving phone orders for deliveries. Going back, Teleserv decided to show the movie Fast Five because the quality of service they provide is the same – fast and efficient. Just like Vin Diesel and his guys in the movie, Teleserv or Citizen Services can be counted on rain or shine to bring you your documents right at your doorstep within the time frame they committed to. Add to that the fact that charge a reasonable amount for each transaction.

The movie is great. As with other movies of the series, this one is just as action-packed as the rest, seasoned with a good laugh here and there and an absolute must-see for car enthusiasts! I’ll have another post regarding the movie itself.

Fast Five – Fast, reliable and efficient! Just like the service you can expect from Teleserv.

Our Fun Ranch Experience

It was a sunny Saturday morning last December 11, and we trooped to the Fun Ranch in Ortigas. Hubby is still sleepy while I came home straight from the night shift. Our little guy is also still sleepy, but the sight of his Crocs woke him up and got him excited. I’ve wanted to bring him to Fun Ranch for quite some time now, but somehow, something always comes up. So when I got an invite from Mommy Lace, I decided that delaying my sleep will be all worth it since i know the little guy will have fun.

When we got there, the program already started and I was happy to see a couple of fellow bloggers.

EVENT:  BLOGGER EVENT

DATE:  DECEMBER 11, 2010

PROGRAM

9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.                     REGISTRATION/DISTRIBUTION OF TOKENS

9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.                   ASSIGNMENT OF ADOPTED CHILDREN AND GAMES

10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.                OPENING OF BUFFET

11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.                MAGIC SHOW

12:30 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.                GIVING AWAY OF LOOT BAGS

12:45 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.                  CLOSING/REMINDERS FROM FUN RANCH

1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.                    FREE TIME (RIDE ALL YOU CAN/FAMILY FUN ZONE)

The kids were obviously giddy and excited. Too bad my kiddo wanted to go out and look around that he and his dad missed the magic show.  On the other hand, he had fun playing on the indoor play ground. Too bad I’m already woozy from lack of sleep that we had to bounce immediately after and my son alone is a handful. If only we brought both household help, we could have stayed and attended to the other kids from the orphanage, and adopt them for the rest of the day. Nathan would have had fun playing with them.

We did enjoy the rides, well, at least the ones, we got to try out with  Nathan. He got bored though with the bump car because he and his dad, were all by their lonesome at the time they tried it out. He particularly like the Ferris wheel though and the carousel.

The Fun Ranch is an ultimate party place for kids. Children will definitely have a memorable experience holding their parties there. Surprisingly, I felt like a kid again while in there. My fond memories of the Fiesta Carnival came into mind as I was trying out the rides with my son. With that, we’ll definitely be back!

SM City Novaliches finally unveiled its plans and opened its door to its tenants last August 24, 2010

A very nice and quiet afternoon of elegant classical music and contemporary inspired decor and motif, the main walkway of SM City Novaliches was adorned with various artworks and landscape all contributing to the history that SM wanted to share to its tenants.

From the elaborate and finely crafted Foam Art by the On-The-Spot Artists Association of the Philippines, a diorama of Novaliches City welcomed its guests as landmarks and a mini SM City Novaliches made of foam created a beautiful and colorful accent against the windows and white walls of the mall.

MY FLAVORS OF THAILAND EXPERIENCE AT THE MANILA MARRIOTT HOTEL

The Manila Marriott Hotel recently added Thai cuisine to their already sumptuous buffet dinner and people from the blogging world were given this wonderful chance to have a taste. I consider myself lucky to receive such an invitation, so the gloomy weather did not stop me to go all the way to Marriott Hotel which is well totally far from our place of residence. Too bad my husband was too tired to come as well.

The dishes served did not disappoint! It was a complete explosion of flavor, filled with mouth-watering gastronomical delights that is absolutely Thai in taste – yeah spicy! But I wont complain because I love spicy foods.

The soup tasted totally new to me, it’s like having Sinigang mixed with coconut milk. I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I did not stuff myself too much with the first set of food I got to try and liked. Going back to the soup, Leirs said she felt her clogged nose cleared up after finishing a bowl of this soup, pretty much the same effect you get when you had too much wasabi on your sauce.

Now here comes my first plate for the night. Yep you read that right, first plate! And that’s why it’s called a buffet!
