It really is happier here at SOLAIRE Resort North as the BER months usher in the world's longest Christmas season that only happens in the Philippines. We went here from Manila and for starters, we got serenaded by the one and only Concert King Martin Nievera. This was done with several of Solaire's executives like Gregory Hawkins, Donato Almeda, Thomas Arasi, Enrique Razon Jr of Bloomberry Resorts Corp, PAGCOR's Alejandro Tengco and Vina Oca, former Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta, Mayor Joy Belmonte of Quezon City, and good looking birthday boy Congressman Arjo Atayde.
Both of their properties in the south and north will be offering holiday inspired room packages, fun experiences, entertainment like no other and food that is world class. At the Solaire Resort property, they had Lea Salonga and American Idol's Clay Aiken. In Solaire North, they also had Ballet Philippines and a whole choir to sing along Christmas songs which everyone enjoyed!
If you want to be part of the festivities, go follow them on their social channels or visit Solaire North, Fresh or Solaire Resort in the South. I had so much fun with them in several events and entertainment coverages, so I'd be so surprised if you don't feel the same when you're there!
I've been going to the German Club Manila's celebration for years now, and this time, Solaire Resort and the German Club Manila is hosting OKTOBERFEST celebrations at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire North this coming October 19th and 20. Solaire Resort North is pretty new, and they plan to put out the best of the best German dishes and the finest brews from Weihenstephaner, the official one for Oktoberfest. Music as tradition requires will be done by the folks from Bavarian Sound Express, and I know they'll be doing it all night at the venue. For sure, you're going to have to dance a bit, and do more later on in the evening of the 19th.
Meanwhile, if you're up for some real family fun, Oktoberfest for you at Solaire North will be absolutely awesome with a ton of activities designed for kids like the Bouncy Castle, German Costume Photo Booths, Face Painting Sessions, and Carnival Games at the hotel. Oktoberfest will also be overloaded with discount stays of over 20 percent (their Bed and Breakfast Rate on the 18th to 20th) that includes buffet breakfast at their signature restaurant FRESH.
At Oktoberfest, expect tons of breads, pretzels, Obatzda, Wiesen jause, Munchner Wurstsalat, Kartoffelsalat and German potato salad. I love my Rostbratwurst, Frankfurters, Goulash, Apple Strudel, and more! If you're raring to go, get your tickets now at Oktoberfest.ph to make sure your kind of Oktoberfest is authentic, and do it as the Germans do in the heart of Quezon City. I've seen it, done it, and I'm going back there for more on this weekend! You should too, take a well deserved break that is THIS fun!
The
Concert Queen Pops Fernandez is going to have her 40th Anniversary
concert called "Always Loved" at the Theatre at Solaire in Paranaque
City. This will happen on February 9 and 10, so if you miss her, this is
the time to celebrate with her!
Pops says "I actually did not expect myself to be in the business this long. I usually say 10 years is okay, but here we are, I lasted this long. There are so many things that happened to me, my life and career. I didn't enjoy it all til I got separated. It was easy for me to perform with Martin because he was there, now I realized I had to perform on my own. Although I do concerts solo, he helped me, but when I did the Captains Bar gig, I was more nervous there than when I was in bigger venues. I think that's when I told myself I could do it. I was more passionate, I thought of all the numbers, I thank him because I had to go through that professionally."
She adds "I want something light, I haven't done a movie for a long time. I did a few musical comedies that I did very comfortably. Maybe we can do something along that lines. Maybe we can do light movies first. When I was younger, I was a little impatient and looked for it, but now I think it will just come, someone out there is meant for me. I'm happy, it's just going to be a bonus. I hope it is someone I can just grow old with, to travel and see the world. Maybe when I look back, I remember Rizal Stadium. I also want to thank Fritz Infante, it's a little difficult to tell who the next concert queen is because it's really a different level of performers now. It's also performing without a script, the big entertainment value. They have to be known with their own title. I want family and friends to be there. I have lots of barkadas who I feel really love me. I have to thank my Mom for her genes, she really looks young, and she always tell me how to take care of my skin. I think I owe it to myself to feel good, I figured if I was going through something, I would still be conscious of taking care of myself. What you see now is a more fulfilled life, I still have more dreams and yes I want more, I have goals which I hope to still get at a certain age. I want to perform, be part of showbiz, I would still travel with family and explore more."
For
the concert she will do a new fast song, something current, you'll also
see her perform "Get it Poppin!", a song that may get
appreciated by the new generation. So again, for those who would want to watch her concert, get tickets from the Ticketworld website or Solaire. See why she's still revered as the Concert Queen this 2024!
