Home and Fashion Finds at HMR Trading Haus

I always try to save a buck or two when shopping so when the opportunity to go to HMR Trading Haus happened a few days ago, I immediately grabbed the chance because really, I haven't been to an HMR store. Now I thought what they had was second hand but I was mistaken, all their stuff are pretty much brand new and the reason they got their prices low is because they get it from manufacturers by bulk so YOU can also buy it at an affordable price. Now I also thought they were just a furniture store, I was surprised to see a lot of fashion and lifestyle items inside, I got so excited because there were tons of clothes and shoes too.

Consequently, they've got a sale going on for those who want a change of look in their family room, imagine a brand new couch for only Php 2,998.00, that's pretty cheap if yoh ask me. Aside from that, they've got clothes priced as low as Php 50.00, so for those wanting some hard to find pieces, a little western, winter, red neck, mountain outfits, I've seen a lot of them there.

Here's a little tour I did on their launch including an interview with one regular customer, gorgeous actress and mom LJ Moreno Alapag.

For those who are interested about the sale, you may visit their store at the Telus Building in Cubao Quezon City right at the side of Farmers Market and across the new parking building of Araneta Coliseum. They are open during usual mall hours so if you're looking for chairs for your entertainment area (there are a lot of sofa's on sale) or just want something new on your wardrobe, go to HMR Trading Haus or their other branches nationwide today!

WISHcovery Finals Happens On March 27

They're going to the finals, yes they are. I've had the chance to cover the WISHcovery launch last year and from the original 20 contestants, they've been trimmed down to 5. Going through tough rigorous elimination vocal battles each week, they got a few of them left and have also got a wildcard round. It was not easy according to hitmaker Jungee Marcelo, Ms. Annie Quintos, Jay R as they served as resident reactors on the said show. They get about 85% of the scores while powerviewing account for 15%.

The Wishful 5 as they call these grand finalists also had their respective mini concerts held in their home town and was broadcasted live at Wish 107.5's Facebook page for everyone to see. They were also given the opportunity to give back to their respective charities, now that's a huge thing.

VP for Radio Mr. Gerardo Etorma III says "We had our audtions in June last year and went around the country to scour for hidden gems and true enough Wish 107.5 found them. Out of thousands who vied for it, we got 20, and now after 9 months we only have 5. They have won several battles, this is going to be big!"

Jungee Marcelo adds "It was really tough to choose only 20, and had our favorites, but have proved us wrong. The best part is when we met them, did something out of their comfort zones and we also did something dark, something off tangent, with the mang tough battles they all have the chance and the right to be the first Wishcovery champion."

Currently, they have Carmela Ariola from Batangas, Hacel Bartolome from Cavite, Kimberly Baluzo from Camarines Norte, Louie Anne Culala from San Idelfonso Bulacan and Princess Sevillena from Makati to battle it out as Wishcovery's wishful 5 performs at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on March 27, 2018 at 7PM. Make sure you don't miss it because this will be a tooth and nail thing, I assure you of the quality of singers vying for the title because I knew some of the eliminated ones who are also champions in other contests.

So really, this is good.

PLDT and Smart Presents: Russell Peters for Deported World Tour in Manila

He's been in the business for 28 years and true enough, his controversial antics on stage has already got him in different parts of the world, making so much money on laughing about race, nationality and presenting it in a very CRAZY way (of course I'm kidding). The standup comedian I'm referring to is no less but our favorite bumbay (sans Sam YG that is) Russell Peters. 

He's reached the country in waves, talking about how westerners feel and look at the middle east, Asians, yes even Filipinos. It's probably one of the reasons why his videos in Youtube don't only get thousands of views, but MILLIONS actually. And we're not even joking. 

Well to give you a glimpse of this man who is going to be in Manila this March 10 at the PICC Plenary Hall, I won't be showing his video because it's going to be redundant, and funny, and you might think I'm a clown after this post. Thank you for bringing in the world renowned comedian PLDT and Smart! You've been doing this for years, I'm glad though that you're never going tired. 

Remember he's not going to leave this town without making you laugh on Saturday. Make sure you watch him at the PICC Plenary Hall, he's not there to give you your individual diplomas (wink wink), he's promised not to bomb and just make you laugh and have a good time. 

Share your moments from the show on social media by using the hashtags #SmartRussellPeters or #PLDTRussellPeters. But don't let the ushers spot you as you may go straight to jail if you take photos (collect 200 on GO). Haha I kid on most of the things on this post aside from the dates of the show. You may purchase tickets through SM Tickets at 4702222. This is produced by AEG and Ovation Productions. 

How's that for funny? :)

Honestbee Expands in More Areas

The bees are now in more areas in Metro Manila

I think I’ve tried Honestbee in the past but I was a little disappointed because they didn’t have one in my side of QC. In a way, I didn’t get to try it at least, so now I got news that they are now expanding in more areas of Metro Manila.

More areas in Metro Manila means they now include Novaliches, Malabon, Valenzuela, Marikina, and some places in the East like Antipolo, Cainta. They also have more in the north like Malolos and Meycauayan in Bulacan. Aside from that, Honestbee also has launched its operations in Metro Cebu, now isn't that great news?

Honestbee is a full concierge service, so if you’re so busy working or attending to your family, some busy Honestbee Shopper is doing the groceries for you, or even getting your food from your favorite restaurants, or just getting errands which you didn’t have time for anymore and have it delivered to your doorstep. Their country manager Crystal Lee Gonzales says “Honestbee has always been about CONVENIENCE and now that we’re expanding to more areas in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu, we know we’re giving them more time to lounge at home. We also now have wet market access to Farmers Market in Cubao, Alabang Wet Market, Pasay Wet Market and get all the products for the same price, we’re gearing to have more areas soon so stay tuned!”

 

If you think about it, their shoppers fee of Php99 and delivery fee of Php49 is so much cheaper than gas and parking fees you’ll have to shell out in your trips to the grocery. Aside from that, you don’t have to get all that trouble, you know how much traffic there is on EDSA right? I don’t think I need to convince you.

You may try and shop now, here’s Php500 from me so you can start shopping. And you can thank me later!

 

You can also download Honestbee on Google Play if you are on Android and the App store if you are on iOS. Just search please! (THIS COMPANY HAS CLOSED OPERATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES)
