What's New: Events and Happenings

Went to different brand launch and celebrations the past weeks. Also, discovered new products through "blogger mail" that I think you guys will be interested in. Sharing some of them to you in this post!

Formal outfit for last night's Singapore Airlines event:


Travalo Perfume Pods

Traveling with perfume has always been a hassle for me. It's either the bottle is too heavy, or it's too big that I can't even put it on my hand-carry. I tend to just bring the bottle na halos wala na laman. Here's a solution to this problem: TRAVALO Perfume Pods! Sleek, lightweight, with nice rounded casing, Travalo can store 5mL of perfume and can spray between 65 to 80 times before needing a refill.

Pump-to-refill technology makes Travalo Perfume Pods more convenient, spill-free, and it does not change your perfume's quality.

Available in Php 999 (Travalo Classic) and Php Php 349.75 (Perfume Pod) at SM North, SM Aura, and Lazada. Follow them on FACEBOOK and Instagram @travaloPH.

Rendezvous at The Lobby at Acacia

One of my favorite hotels in Alabang, the Acacia Hotel Manila, recently unveiled their revamped menu and shop offerings at The Lobby at Acacia.



Attended the launch last June 1:


“When we first opened The Lobby at Acacia, we presented a wide menu that offered soup, salad, appetizers, pizza, sandwiches,  local favorites,  international bestsellers and of course desserts. In our revamped menu, we maintained the same kind of format but with more creative options that are inspired from Asian and Western cuisine. Our guests will enjoy trying something new with every visit at very reasonable prices.” says Head Chef Aldo Palaypay.



The Lobby at Acacia offers 66 dishes with prices that range from Php 280 to Php 1,595. Its most creative dishes to name a few are the Chicken and Pork Adobo Pizza, Aromatic Braised Beef Ragout, Pan Fried Salmon with Marinara Risotto, Crispy Nori Shrimp Salad, Braised Asian Duck Quesadilla, Capellini ala Gamba, and Crab Meat Lasagna with Grilled Shrimps.



Other than food, The Lobby at Acacia, has a Souk wherein proudly Pinoy products are being sold. The Souk was not created for additional revenue, its main goal is to promote Filipino ingenuity and at the same time support marginalized communities.  It offers bags, home accessories, fashion accessories and food that are perfect for pasalubongs.





Brands that are available at The Lobby at Acacia are the following: Saffy, Kath's by Michelle Baldemor, Abre Linea, Laguna Water Hyacinth, House of Polvoron, and Sweet Seasons.

Experience Acacia's warm and welcoming atmosphere by visiting The Lobby at Acacia from 6am to 12mn.

Singapore Airlines recently celebrated their 50th year in the Philippines with a gathering at the Singapore Ambassador's Residence in North Forbes. Guests were treated to an evening of Singaporean and Filipino delights. It was a festive night, and I spotted several big names from different industries. 

It was also an honor to meet and be welcomed by Guest of Honor, Her Excellency Kok Li Peng, to her home:

Short program:

With fellow bloggers The Soshal Network, Paul, and Ruth, wearing a bit more formal outfits than our usual:

Biore Cleanse & Care

I noticed that most of the products that Japanese brand Biore offer are direct to the point, quality, and effective. They always end up in a friend's favorites list! I am sure Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets will also gain cult following. No need for harsh rubbing,  Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheet contains 20% more cleansing oil to remove stubborn mascara and eyeliner. With triple layer and 100% natural fiber, these wipes can take rubbing and still be gentle on your skin.

British brand Mi-Pac enters the country, upholding individuality and freedom of expression through their 300 ++ bag design variations. During their launch at the Bratpack UP Town Center, participants enjoyed artsy stations where they treated their Mi-Pac bags as blank canvass - covering them with patches and quirky pins to make it more personal and truly their own.

I finally found a solution to my 16GB iPhone: A Ye!! iBrary!

Her dresses are named after teachers, roommate, earliest clients, and favorite French names. “My show is very French, the feel of an afternoon stroll in the gardens of Versailles,” she says. “It’s an ode to my stay in Paris.”

"I really love embroidery and I’m trying to push the craft. I want to show that there is so much more to it, it’s really an art," said Hannah.
