Loving the A-Gan Tea Lifestyle!

I have been hearing of this brand from foodies who frequent Taiwan and nearby countries. A visit to their country isn't complete if you don't pass by and get one of their signature concoctions so they say but we don't have to really spend thousands of dollars just to taste authentic lifestyle changing tea from the mountains of Taiwan... because a gantea is officially here in the Philippines!

I got the chance to take first servings of this awesome tea place at their Greenbelt 2 branch which I'm sure is going to be the first of many. The opening day was superb as celebrities from Team Askalz and the Philippine Volcanoes brought the needed man presence that evening. I thought I was part of the teams! LOL I immediately ordered a couple, and fell in love instantly. You should try these for they only cost 85-100 bucks! No joke!

The choices were GOOD! I particularly like the Milk Tea's on the menu. Fret not for the coffee drinkers because they have that too on the menu. You get a healthier alternative to coffee with these milk tea servings.

Ordering is a cinch too. You just line up and pay for it then they give you this gadget so you just wait on your seats, outside or on other stores nearby while they prepare your orders. It gets jumpacked there at night so its best to get there a little earlier. Seating is also provided al fresco, smoking areas are there too.

After a few minutes, I got my Milk Lid Mango Tea! It was sweet and tangy. You get that fruity fix even on tea concoctions like this. Pretty Yummy!

Since I already got my fix, I proceeded to the activity area because this is their launch. It was nice to see JAMICH was there. 

They've got a pretty good following over at Twitter and Youtube where they became sensations. It was pretty evident as their fans were also there screaming their lungs out. They were celebrating their anniversary coinciding with the A-gantea launch. They prepared a couple of song and dance numbers much to the delight of the crowd. A perfect pairing!

Presidential Sweetheart Ms. Grace Lee was also there to host the show. Pretty in person!

These guys were so game! The Askalz went on stage and started a game for the people who loved A-gantea. It was so nice of them to give this much time for their fans!

Then it was time for my idols the Philippine Volcanoes! I love these guys. Your dirty minds might think they are doing something bad on this shot, but don't worry this is a pair tea drinking contest. They finished the large tea in a couple of seconds! Congratulations to the winners!

The CEO of A-gantea from Taiwan was also there to thank the crowd and welcome the Philippines as the next to get this lifestyle tea brand from Taiwan. I'm sure the Filipinos will love this too!

Congratulations to the A-gantea Philippines! This is surely the start of something BIG!

Bactidol Idol: The Best Performances from the 12 Hour Sing-A-Thon!

Talk about clowning around with your vocal chords Bactidol just concluded their BACTIDOL 12 HOUR SINGATHON at the Red Box Eastwood City. It was a gorgeous way of challenging people to sing for 12 hours straight taking your voice to extremes; but not to worry because simply gargling off at the start took care of them to last this long. Hosting the event was Chico and Delamar from RX 93.1. Being a silent rusher I was so excited to start off this program with media guests and these duo via a warm up to get things started.  People were even singing along with me to the tune of Mc Arthur's Park!

They even showed us how to gargle properly. This would actually make me safe from getting infections or anything that would start a sore throat, it was so cool to see them so game!

Then we immediately went to our rooms and started to check out 21 teams  pitting out to win the coveted 20 thousand pesos up for grabs if you survive the whole 12 hour ordeal. Chico and Delamar also hosted a side event called Bactidol Idol where a lot of guys and gals would get their friends to vote online to see who wins!

Some guys had to sing women's songs and vice versa. It was one of the most memorable things they probably had to endure in order to win too. Aside from that, real deal recording stars were judging you as well. It was hard but they were more than happy to sing for these three!

No you are not dreaming! Imagine Kitchie Nadal, Barbie Almalbis and Ebe Dancel scrutinizing every scream or belt you can imagine coming out of the contestants. There were a few hits and misses for sure but it was more all for clean fun!

We tweeted every hour and got so many people asking to join this contest but the slots were already filled up within 2 days. There were even backup teams but unfortunately the ones who started it are as STRONG as ever! Nobody wanted to give up and nobody wanted to give up their slots to them either. They have tried various tactics in order to last the whole 12 hours. Some of them were jumping up and down, spinning around,  some were drinking, eating and even got them for free just by choosing certain playlists. There is one particular thing though that surely made them  better contestants and that's when they all gargled Bactidol in the beginning!

Who lasted 12 hours? Who made the cut and made it to the top?

Leaving a Legacy: DJ Neil Armstrong for adidas Originals

It was a very posh barbecue that afternoon, of course I didn't expect anything less when it's and adidas event. This is the first time I'm seeing one of the greatest artists this side of the world has ever produced, DJ Neil Armstrong.I suddenly thought I was in LA when I got to the Skye Lounge, W Building, Fort. With the throng of expats and similar species that afternoon, I felt this wasn't in the Philippines for sure.Local sports, fashion, lifestyle and music personalities were all there to shake it out to celebrate adidas Originals. The brand found it very important to give much attention to originality and individuality. I concur!

Awesome spinning from DJ Badkiss commenced and of course we did the next best thing, we partied and enjoyed the music! The crowd was gorgeous, best of all they were quite noted in their respective fields. There must have been some sort of qualification made to be in this crowd, one that would require to show what adidas Originals is all about. To "Leave a Legacy" of setting a trend and staying original is hard to do but that's what adidas stands for. 

The rain may have poured that night but that didn't dampen the spirit of those who chose to celebrate the occasion. 

He was clad in adidas Originals gear from head to foot. I thought he was going to be some weirdo off the house circuit but he was very down to Earth and very accommodating. He was quite a presence and you feel so easy around him. Quite a nice chap!

The lights came on and the music changed. It was time DJ Neil Armstrong made the speakers pound and start another party!

Yeap! The party just started! I just really admire the last few words he said when his set ended. He was so proud to be amongst us, best of all he was so proud to be Filipino! 

To get you more into the mood, adidas is introducing a way for you to leave a legacy of originality. They made a special Facebook application where you can simply upload a photo of yourself in your most original STREET STYLE. You can share this photo and ask all of your friends to vote for you.
