Bench Scents: Isabelle Daza's Ritual and Univers!

I love runway and I love scents. It's the perfect marriage if you ask me. Bench always has the good stuff and this event was no different. They just recently launched a new eau de toilette and body spray designed and inspired by the one and only Isabelle Daza. It's about time if you ask me. She's darn gorgeous and of course she takes a gene or more from Mom who won Ms. Universe right? Let's see what transpired that evening at the Trinoma Activity Center.

The stage was set! They built their own Mom and Pop shop right in the center and it was reminiscent of Soda counters in the 1960's but it was nothing old. The theme was just right. It was classic and judging from the smell I got in the sample bottles they got me, it's fit to be used by Men and Women. How can you go wrong with that?

Pretty "swing" dance numbers came after. Then we saw the star of the evening, it's Isabelle Daza!

Then she bade goodbye and made way for a short fashion show featuring Bench's (still) summer collection and a whole lot of body spritzers for the audience. Fashion with a scent, why not!

Easy going, light and colorful fabrics with prints and different patterns. It can work even on rainy days! Who says you have to be gloomy and dark on this weather?

Then the men came in and proved my point =)

Ritual Deo Cologne is for those who love something light and fresh. It's grassy, cedar and flowery undertones that is not too girly gives it a spot on the more "unisex" sector because it can be easily worn by men. The UNIVERS bottle on the other hand plays a more dreamy, flowery and woodsy notes that can also work both men and women. Isabelle had a hand designing these two fragrances because she thought of something that can be totally attractive to both sexes. It's something that can't be contained in one's sexual orientation. It can be the perfect gift for your partner or just for personal use everyday without smelling too strong or too girly when that time comes you get smelled by other people. Admit it, they do!

Friends, relatives, executives from Suyen Corporation, Ben Chan himself and Isabelle Daza's supporters were all in attendance. They got hold of what Isabelle wants in a perfume during the show. Our own Ms. Universe Ms. Gloria Diaz was also in front to see her daughter and Bench celebrate her new fragrance!

Spotted my crush Jasmine Maierhoffer too! ^_^ hihi!

Then Isabelle Daza was given a bouquet of flowers by her Mom and of course Mr. Ben Chan.

Congratulations Ms Isabelle Daza for becoming Bench's latest Scent endorser! Rush over to Bench Lifestyle stores to get hold of Ritual and UNIVERS to experience how it is to have the smell that Isabelle loves in spray cans and bottles. I wore it today and I smell so nice that my friends ask me about it. It's time to fulfill your fantasies by having one now! It's about time!

HOLA! Philippines - Magazine Launch!

Hello Magazine has been my go to place when getting the latest and greatest in London Fashion Week or just anything about the royals. Been hearing about this for quite sometime now and I was so psyched that I actually know a couple of people behind this mag's Philippine version. This is a great place start hearing from Manila as it says HOLA!

Socialites, celebrities, industry experts and Manila's who's who welcomed HOLA! into Sofitel's grand bay event venue serving champagne, hors d'oeuvres, caviar dreams with limitless glitter all over the red carpet. It was a tough crowd if you know what I mean but this is surely an epic way of putting in an institution from outside the country to Manila. I was really at the edge of my seat as they were going to announce who's going to grace the cover on it's premier issue.

Shock and awe all the expletives you can muster, they go away with two celebrities on the cover. They are sisters Jasmine and Anne Curtis. These gorgeous Aussie Filipina women who have graced the Philippine entertainment scene was just but the perfect touch to introduce an international magazine to the Philippines. Seeing Jasmine there all smiles confirmed how much they wanted to be stated in history as the first who have graced HOLA! Philippines. This is undoubtedly grand. I'd like to congratulate everybody behind the publication and to my friends Magic Liwanag and Jad Deveza for being part of this!

HOLA! Philippines will be sold in major magazine shops, stores and bookstores nationwide. Grab a copy of their maiden issue and get to say hello to the Philippine lifestyle scene. Thank you for the chance to cover your launch HOLA! and I wish you all the best!

Living the Life in Makati: Avida Asten

Wherever you are in Makati, it's all prime lot. Whether you are in the residential area or right along the artsy fartsy Malugay district, you are bound to see this structure towering over the landscape. If you are a junior executive looking for a great place to stay near the business center of Makati, you should definitely check out Avida Asten.

Now that you've seen that, I guess I don't have to convince you no more. Fact is, it's near everything you need. They've also got a Tower II in the works which would probably one of the few things you should ask for if you're not in a hurry to get one and plans of investment.

We went to their official launch a few days ago and it was nice. They've got a few projects already up and this was just the right thing at the right time to shoppers passing by the posh Greenbelt 5. If they're serious about purchasing their first home, nothing beats location, proximity to everything in the community and transportation in this part of town other than Avida Asten.

Even the host agrees.

They even got fashion, art installations put up on site to see a glimpse of what its like to live in a place like Avida Asten. I guess no jaded guy would probably regret getting a place of his own in this part of the city. Then they were ready to unveil the look of Avida Asten.

Then they announced that they'll probably have 32 more projects planned and ready to sell out this year. Now who told you the country's in a slump when we're obviously booming in the real estate and construction sector. Mind you this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested, they can plan out what terms you wish to have these condominium units.

Just Tower 1 alone would actually mean 644 residential units which comprise of Studio units, some also come in  1 Bed Room, 2 Bed Room, 2 Bed Room loft unit, and 3 Bed Room loft units that's perfect for a family. Unit Size Ranges from 23 square meters up to 115 square meters. Price ranges from Php 2.3M - 12.8M.

Who knows, you can probably break a good deal with them too! Maybe it's right for you!
