Chef Tatung Holds Cooking Event at Gateway 2 Mall's Quantum SkyView

Spent the afternoon at Araneta City as Chef Tatung celebrated his birthday at the Gateway 2 Mall's Quantum SkyView together with fans of his videos and social channels on this day. 

He did a cooking demonstration with one of his avid supporters and taught a few things for the crowd. He says "We learn to cook what is available, make sure it's affordable and strive to become creative in the kitchen. It is okay to do slow cooking but not to the point of using too much gas. We need to also be economical and simpol when in the kitchen."

He was also joined by one of my favorite bakers Chef Jackie Ang Po and raffled off prizes for the dozens who attended the event.

What I liked about the live cooking demo was how attentive the crowd was. They participated well and even answered some of the questions thrown to them by Chef Tatung. They also had the event live streamed on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube for the rest who couldn't come to the event. This event wasn't possible without the help of Maggi, Masflex, Arla, Premium Choice Meatshop, Tindeli, Palenque, Araneta City and Gateway Mall.

Make sure you follow his YouTube, TikTok and Facebook page because he's going to make more content to make sure life and cooking becomes SIMPOL!

I'm pretty sure he's got more up his sleeves.

The realme 13 Pro 5G and realme 13 Pro+ is dubbed as "DSLR in your pocket!". A tall order, but they made it possible with the Ultra Clear Camera it has armed with AI. Hardware wise, it's got a Sony LYT 600 OIS lens. They used a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 5G Chipset, 24GB RAM and 512GB Storage to make sure it performs well and doesn't run out of space for photos/videos. Inspired by Monet, they also have it in 3 different colors. Some of which have polished metal, and vegan leather at the back.

The new realme Watch S2 on the other hand has 20 day battery life, hundreds of watch faces, an AI engine and more sports and health measurement for your active lifestyle. It's also dust and water resistant, so if you run outdoors you'll have less worry. The realme Buds T310 looks extra fun now. It has noise cancellation, spatial audio and dynamic bass drivers. I enjoyed the buds predecessor and have it in my bag til now. It performs quite nice, lasts a long time. This one promises over 40 hours of playback, so imagine the songs you could play with it while doing your everyday work. The noise reduction feature comes in 3 tiers too, so if you're in a busy place, things can really be heard better with these new functions made by AI Deep Call Noise Reduction.  

 

Techlife also showcased their best home products, I want that vacuum cleaner now :)

They also managed to do a full on dance contest at the activity center and awarded OBS Fuego Eterno the championship, the crowd loved them every bit. They also held a search for the next face of realme here influencers Diego Aranda and Sammie Amboy won it. They both got 100K cash for that and 50K worth of realme products. That's a good reason for you to join next year no?

Thanks realme for having us in your event!

(COMPLETE) Winners of the Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival

A few days ago, the awards night for Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival happened at the Cinema 5 of Gateway Mall at Araneta City in Quezon City. I've only been able to watch a few short films, 2 full lenght films, but saw how they all deserve the accolades mounting this all.

The competition is tough with the 6 full length films, 25 student short films, I was so excited to be seated with them during that evening... and even asked my seatmates about their bets. They were right!

Here are your winners!

Congrats VJ Mendoza for doing this song, he mentioned the one who composed it passed. Sad, but worthy to win!

Initially, these were all supposed to be shown at Gateway Cineplex 18 from March 15 to 19, but we got word from Festival Director Chris Cahilig that it will be now until March 26 due to the resounding success of the films and clamor for more cinemas for it. If you haven't watched the entries, go take your friends, your family, and see it til that date. I like "A Lab Story", "Under a Piaya Moon", "Pushcart Tales" and the shorts that were seen in the festival. But you have the power to see whatever you wish in cinemas, go use a whole day for it because it can take a while to finish watching them all.

Congratulations Direk Chris Cahilig, to everyone at Puregold for making this happen. I deem this an excellent platform for unheard actors to shine. I also felt this would be a good place for people to see artistry with the different materials. It's also a time for story tellers to whip out their best work, and the chance to see it on the big screen is priceless. Puregold just did that for you, again, congratulations to the men and women who made this happen!
