Some Cool Urban Pieces from NOIX Gear

I'm not basic (thank God!), or at least I don't think so. I like cool clothes and sometimes play with it. So since I'm doing a whole day of blogging today, I'll include this new brand called NOIX. It's pronounced as it is spelled, so in a nutshell you have to say the letter x haha. Anyway, this cool new brand has already been released in the market last August 16, 2017. I look good on it obviously and their aesthetics fit me. I guess it's more urban than plain street style, just the way I like it.

They've got other things on their store that you would really love. These printed tees in black, camou pretty much sums up a part of my wardrobe, it's staple because it looks good anytime of the day.

They also have accessories like these small messenger bags, some leather bracelets (which are quite hip now), and my favorite items in their current line right now, the hoodies! Available in black and white, I like the black one more though because it makes me look thinner in photos LOL! I mean who doesn't like shedding a few pounds right?

Oh and since I'm in Meranti Hotel right now and alone in my room, why not do my own photoshoot! Hahaha because we're funny like that!

You can purchase official NOIX merchandise at the SHOPEE App via https://shopee.ph/noixgear or visi their official shop at http://www.noixgear.com/. I think I need to get the white hoodie and the camou shirt next, you should get it today because they've got most of it at 50% OFF because of the 9.9 sale that Shopee is doing.

Stay cute!

The 10th Year of Gabay Guro: A Decade of Dedication and A Lifetime ofGratitude

This is the 10th year of Gabay Guro and it's one of the most awaited events by teachers in the country. This is the PLDT SMART Foundation's way of thanking the most selfless people on earth, and our second parents, our teachers. My Mom is an educator too so I know how much they have sacrificed all these years so you can go out of school learning something, that takes a lot of heart.

Gary Duhali of PLDT says "This is our biggest activity for our biggest event on our 10th year of Gabay Guro. 10 years of our Education arm of the Pldt Smart Foundation. We churn out programs and activities for teachers, we provide training programs, and they clamour for skills and now we have trained 20,000 teachers for free. We did it in Baguio, Bicol, nationwide and don't get anything for return. We also teach them livelihood programs that support their own students who are in need. We make them resellers outside of the classroom, and they don't have to use their checks anymore. We also have donated internet connection, computers, even whole classrooms. We also have 1123 scholarship grants, now having 650 graduates, 300 LET passers and over 45 partner schools making sure we have teachers in the future. We gather 20,000+ teachers and devote one day for an event last year and we are doing that again with the participation of the country's biggest performers and give prizes to change their lives. All our pillars are the driving force for Gabay Guro. Next Sunday, September 17 we want to impart a decade of dedication and a lifetime of gratitude. Only teachers will enjoy the festivities for free at the SM MOA ARENA at 2PM. Hosts will be Pia Wurtzbach, Andrew Wolf and Pops Fernandez. They have also been supporting Gabay Guro for years now. We will have Southborder, Jinky Vidal and JayR, Marian Rivera, Ogie Alcasid, Martin Nievera, Gary V, Lea Salonga, UP Pep Squad, Sarah G with the GForce, cast from The Good Son, Basil Valdez, Celeste Legaspi and a lot more!"

Chay Cabal Rodriguez, SVP and PLDT Group Controller Financial Reporting and Controllership Sector says "We have heads of ABSCBN confirming their most popular loveteams. Aside from that we have a lot of our brothers and sisters in the showbiz industry, thank you for their support waving their talent fees just to give back to the teachers of this country. We hope this inspires other teachers and help a lot from their families. We fly them in from other provinces, house them here and train them for the duration before the event. We also have different programs that we plan to put out in different cities nationwide so it's really God working through us for the teachers. Volunteers come from PLDT, Smart, other MVP groups and we spend midnights and weekends to be able to do the show, without the help of our partners we wouldn't be able to this. LGU's let us also use their facilities for free, plus the DEP ED also helps us pinpoint which provinces need training help. We are also thankful for the celebrities and performers who gave their time and talent and even invite their friends as this isn't a branded event, just Gabay Guro so everyone is willing to help despite their busy schedules."

Gabay Guro also partnered with several brands so expext a lot of products from them too. The raffle prizes will include a Motorcycle from Motorlandia, 2 Vans from Foton and a 2 House and Lots from Ayala Land so congratulations to the lucky winners.

You're going to hear from the actual scholars, see how they improved their lives using scholarship grants from Gabay Guro. It's a different event as the executives from PLDT and Smart were telling us, they affect them in so many ways. They get hugs, pinch them, just for the small things they thank you. This is very humbling, they do it at MOA Arena for FREE so for those that would be chosen by Dep Ed in the regions and here in Manila, you are blessed!

Angel Locsin Shocks La Luna Sangre Viewers Worldwide

Did you see the episode last night? How can you not be when Angel Locsin suddenly appeared in La Luna Sangre. 

"From the start, we knew that Angel was going back to La Luna Sangre. We just had to surprise everyone. We just don't know if John Lloyd's appearance will happen too. She is not a guest but a main character of the show. They are in the story, this is a KathNiel project but each individual character has their own the story. Darating at darating yan at di maiiiwasan sa La Luna Sangre. There are a lot of theories and this is something that people should be excited for. She will be here until she is still needed, and thank you to KathNiel and all the supporters of the show for making this great, anything can happen because this is a fantaserye." - Henry Kingkitain, head Creative Director for Star Creatives. 

Angel Locsin says "I am very proud to have been able to guest here, I was needed in the story and I'm very happy to support a new breed of stars in this series. I am very excited because I don't know what is going to happen with the Jacintha character and there are still a lot of things to happen in this Fantaserye. They told me to get ready because there will be fight scenes. It was explained to me, what my connection is to Richard. I am so happy to be with someone that I am comfortable with, Richard matured and is passionate and it doubled now. They call him baby boy because they really want to take care of him.  Jacintha is full of mysteries, she was able to make a President win in Indonesia so she will be helping Chard win the presidency in the Philippines too. She is human, she speaks her mind, it's good to be back working with Chard and it was easier to do this because we know each other. I haven't worked with him yet in our movie (with Angelica Panganiban) and who knows we might get into a scene again like the previous shows. She's a very gray character and it will be tiring to switch, I'll show a different person so the audience could appreciate it. Marian and I have no rifts and we both want to entertain people. There was a huge debate on the name from Lotlot, Marikit, but a few of the execs saw how Jacintha was effective to pronounce."

"I also am a lot better now because I know how to sit properly, and it's been a while since I felt pain (in her back). I am more relaxed now, not too pressured because I have been with the crew for a few years and they took care of me. I am willing to do all the things needed for the show. I told Kathryn about it and it was a huge secret, and she replied with really great words and tons of emoticons so I guess she's very happy about it. For all the people who watched, thank you so much for making it trend last night. I hope you see how we're going to make this an even greater story!" she adds.

She will be one of the main characters and surely this will be an interesting twist of events. You'll love Angel Locsin all over again, like I do so stay tuned!

The Excitement Continues: Whisky Live Manila 2017

It's been a good year for whisky this year, as I've felt it being invited to many brands of it this year. Filipinos have been starting to appreciate this even more because we're getting to know how to actually use it with other things than just on the rocks (oh yes even on cocktail). For purists like me, I find how it is made very interesting. We often don't know how the alcohol was made, what proof, how the ageing process in wooden casks actually take and what goes in it. It also depends on the distillation process, filtering, and tons of other stuff that we are all still trying to understand, but I'm glad they're doing this expo in Manila this October 20 and 21 at the Shangri-la Hotel in Fort Bonifacio, Global City. I was invited to this occasion last year but didn't go because I was so tired from doing events the whole day, and didn't want to get drunk for the next day LOL.

Mind you, this probably would be the biggest outing of over 100 whisky variants, making local connoisseurs have a field day of their own. This is hosted by Grand Cru Wines and Spirits Inc. This will also include the award winning whisky called Kavalan from Taiwan, plus tons of tasting, cocktail competitions, appreciation classes, plus rare bottles... so you better get those livers ready! I'm volunteering my services for the tasting part, you should too! If you want to join, visit http://www.whiskylive.ph now!
