CROCS has been really doing it right these past few years. Aside from coming out with really neat versions of the classics, they delved into making new designs, colorways, and having you in control of your own footwear, urging you to Come As You Are.
Recently, they tapped AC Bonifacio for their classics which she jazzed up with Jibbitz charms. Then just last week, they have launched their largest CROCS Concept Store at the 2nd Floor of Ayala's TRINOMA Mall. The different clogs, sandals and slides will surely make your heart eyes appear because surely, there's one that will fit your personality.
GMA's Thea Tolentino was also there to join in the fun!
You can even do more things with it with the Jibbitz charms. They have a specific section for buyers to get their pairs all personalized by choosing the appropriate ones and put them on the holes of your CROCS pairs and love it all over again! Here's how I did my design for my CROCS Slides, please, enjoy!
Again, you may visit the new CROCS at the 2nd Floor of TRINOMA's main mall, facing the North Avenue side of the building. Check out the pairs, and I'm sure there's a perfect one for you!
Where do you get your phone accessories these days? I'm like a hodge podge of different things so I get them from cheap online stores and I end up destroying them after a few days LOL which means I do spend a lot because I don't get the ones that are of premium quality. It's why I adore places like Digital Walker because I love everything that's there. Lo and behold, they've got BASEUS now, a worldwide known brand that will be in separate stores. This will still be under the Digital Walker group of CEO and head honcho Charlie Paw.
Baseus is a tech accessory brand from Shenzen and is available in 8 different countries including Korea, UAE, Australia and now the Philippines. This is officially their first flagship store. Their product designs are heavily awarded by IF Design Awards and is known for their car chargers, multifunction cables, car mounts, flash drives, wireless chargers, power banks, phone cases and a whole lot more.
They will also be giving huge discounts to their very own Baseus Backpack Power Bank Case (7300 mAh) and will give it for 990 pesos instead of 1,790 which is it's original price. Go visit the Baseus store in Trinoma today! It's now open! You may also get details about it at Facebook.com/OfficialBaseusPH so go!
I was surprised to see tons of people watch one of the Cinema One Originals Festival 2017 entry "Si Chedeng at Si Apple" starring Ms. Elizabeth Oropesa and Ms. Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz. It's one of several films that will be shown until November 21. So if you haven't seen any of the entries, now would be a good time to watch these films.
Trinoma was grand, I could imagine watching these too in Glorietta or in any Ayala Malls. Trinoma has dedicated Cinema 2 while Glorietta has Cinema 4 which will show these CinemaOne Originals Festival 2017 entries. So if you're raring to see other films like "The Third Member", "Cain at Abel", "L'Amant Double", "Nay", "Nervous Translation", "Paki", "Bundok Banahaw, Sacred and Profane", "Changing Partners", "Throwback Today", "Historiographika Errata", other previous remastered entries, some foreign films who also joined the screenings, and other short films, make sure you look up schedules in Trinoma and Glorietta. I like the movie "Si Chedeng at si Apple" most because of it's plot. The dramedy film really had some really serious scenes and you'll love how the banter between Chedeng and Apple show the values of friendship, love, second winds and relationships. Gloria Diaz became a little unfiltered, capable of being funny at times and completely having the audience hooked on their journey to find a lost lesbian love. I wouldn't want to spoil things for you so you better watch this film made by directors Fatrick Tabada and Rae Red.
Ms. Elisabeth Oropesa was impressive, fully immersing herself with a character that's full of flaws, but completely happy and contented with life, never even looked back after hooking up with a stranger (a fine looking man too). You'll love her and Chedeng, as they tick off things on their bucket list, you'll be eager to do the same thing with your life. Or maybe find a lost love in the process too.
The movies will be shown up until the 21st of November in Trinoma and Glorietta. It starts 12:20pm and screen the last ones around 9:50pm. Hurry because I've seen tickets got sold out last night with this one and the film Nay.
Hey music lovers! It's a nice afternoon isn't i? Well I passed by Trinoma Malls today and look at whay I found at thr Activity Center!
Yes! It's Billboard Philippines and Ayala Malls having an event called BillboardPH PlaySound showcasing their music playground which includes decades upon decades of music courtesy of Billboard, the one and only music authority.
Straight from the archives of the 60's, the sleek 70's, the pop 80's, the bands of the 90's and the lovely iconic singers of the 2000's, they have these represented in booths and let you also hear the sound from that genre with hi tech headphones and video monitors so you could learn a thing or two of music history. It has been evolving, you could see it in every booth and I am in love with what they had in the charts from 80's up until today!
Ayala Malls and Billboard PH also prepared several booths that take 360 degree photos, which they will print out and for you to take home.
It's a whole day of fun and it's not over yet! Come to the activity center and enjoy the little concert they prepared for us as Itchyworms, Sam Concepcion and Gracenote will be performing front and center!
I also saw Christian Bautista, QC Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte and VP of Ayala Malls Ms. Rowena Tomeldan join the opening ceremonies, so if your free come to Trinoma today! Ayala Malls will be doing this too in other malls (like 20-21 in Glorietta and Alabang Town Center) under their corporation so stay tuned!
I'm starting the day with Purple love as Malaysian brand Mister Potato comes to the Philippines with their flagship product Mister Potato Purple Sweet Potato Crisps. They're already in 90 countries worldwide and this is the first time they're doing it in Manila and they're raring to give us a glimpse on how it feels to enjoy their other flavors that's been fondly loved by patrons at the Trinoma Activity Center today!
The sweet potato natural flavor was the best! I like how crisp and earthy it is plus it's not that salty. It's got a little bit of natural sweetness too, totally different from the potato variant.
The potato variants come in different flavors, this one is my best bet which is Hot and Spicy. If you're out drinking with friends, this would be so good with beer. Don't tell the kids I told you that.
The Barbecue variant was a little smoky, not that intense which I think would be preferred by most people. I like this one too.
The Original flavor tastes a bit like the competitor but quite less salty. Now that's good news for snack addicts who don't want too much sodium in their diet.
The Cheese flavor was also super good, I was already licking my fingers to get those cheese flavors that I wanted from it. Maybe you'll find this even better than that other potato chip in a can.
This was okay, I tasted it but had to go away from it because I'm allergic to this flavor. (Weird I know), but for those who love things with the sour cream and onion taste, you'll get it greatly from here.
They also let us play at the mall's atrium, pretty fun way of getting acquainted with a new brand, that's not as expensive as the other one, but probably even better!
It was a nice purple day indeed! Now where's that can of purple sweet potatoes I was munching on earlier... oh it's already gone. LOL!
Flowers make me happy. The variety of colors, the way they look or even smell makes me produce endorphins more than the usual. Last week, we were surprised by Ayala Malls at the center of Greenbelt 5 with a diverse display of Philippine Orchids, ornamental plants to signify the start of summer. They've been the best looking mall chain bar none, but they made an effort this whole month of April to surround us with lush flora, green landscapes and beautiful gardens. Now how's that for fun?!
All these flowers and more will be now seen in Glorietta, Greenbelt, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Fairview Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu, Centrio Mall, Ayala Malls Solenad and UP Town Center. This is part of their Lov'Em Blooms campaign to support sustainable green living and they're doing different events to further celebrate this!
You can now sign up for Green Walks so volunteers from Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society Inc. could tell you about native trees, flora, that can be easily found inside Ayala Malls. They'll also be displaying some of the most beautiful orchids this April 16 at the Fairview Terraces, April 23 at Ayala Malls Solenad and May 7th on the Alabang Town Center. They're also promoting arts and crafts workshops on May 7-8 in Alabang Town Center, a photo contest with Ayala Alabang Camera Club plus art activities on May 20-22 in Greenbelt.
Here's a little taste of what's in store!
Oh and for those who are not blessed with a green thumb (like me I think LOL) you can get tips from Joey Quintana and the whole Alabang Garden Club so they can teach you how to get them survive your hands lol. This will be on May 7th then they'll have a Mother's Day activity on May 8th. If you are fond of tea, Greenbelt has an edible garden on those dates so stay with a bunch of amigas and enjoy it like in England. For those who fancy to get the blooms to their own special occasions, the suppliers, local producers, growers florists, designers, stylists, name it, they'll be in Greenbelt from April 15-17, May 6-15 at Ayala Center Cebu, May 7-8 at Alabang Town Center, May 6-8 at Abreeza Ball, May 21-22 in TriNoma, June 3-5 in Glorietta, June 22-26 at Fairview Terraces and June 24-26 at Centrio Mall. You basically have the whole half year to enjoy these flowers, plants and activities because this is Ayala Malls.
They've got more, so just look at their social media pages today and bloom away!
For more information about their events this year:
This will ruin your diet (if you are on a diet, I heard it's a lie LOL) but will definitely make your day!
Well, meat or protein from beef is healthy and if you've got that in your requirement, this is actually a bit of good news. Do you also love cheese? They've got these two heavenly ingredients into one awesome product over at Taco Bell. They dubbed it as the Taco Bell Cheesy Beefy Melt. They use 100% cheese and not those artificial ones you see in the market. They also have this with seasoned rice, seasoned beef, cool sour cream plus three kinds of cheese namely Monterey Jack, Mozzarella and Cheddar. Now imagine all those ingredients wrapped in a soft pillowy warm tortilla. It's made of dreams!
I guess the photos don't do justice, you must visit their stores at Gateway, Trinoma and Alabang Town Center. Check out their Facebook page also at Facebook.com/TacoBellPHL or their Instagram account @TacoBellPHL. Value for money at Php 129.00 ala carte, Php 169.00 with Nachos and a drink. Isn't that awesome?
