The 12 Days of DureX-MAS Naughty or Nice Event

One awesome night with some of the nicest people, that's what I would describe the event a few nights ago. At the Ugly Duck White Rabbit place at Poblacion in Makati. They had us experience a different Christmas event, filled with pleasurable experiences, with the star of the show DUREX and their 12 Days of DureX-MAS. They showcased their various products, a good day to somehow break stereotypes that this doesn't get talked about much in the open - and educating people about its use. It was already fun, but they had us at the edge of our seats when the drag queens from RPDR PH went out to perform! 

There were tons of people out there from all walks of life, different generations. While we all used to squirm about talking about these in the past, I've seen a huge change in how people became quite receptive. Add to that, the entertainment that Matilda, Arizona Brandy, Miss Jade So, Bernie and Marina Summers brought to the event that evening, it was just made of dreams. If you haven't seen these queens perform, I'm telling you, you better do. Our queens were definitely world class! 

Here's a short video of what transpired that evening!

Thank you so much to the wonderful people of DUREX for having us that evening! It was well worth the trip to the center of Makati's Poblacion district, and started that needed conversation. 

Super fun!

A Sweet foodpanda Deal at Tim Hortons

It was super fun at Tim Hortons Silver City

I often order food via foodpanda, even groceries on a regular basis. I love the huge deals, the vouchers and free delivery offers would save me a trip to the malls, to keep myself off the holiday rush and traffic. Whenever I do go out, I make sure that every trip is worth it. That's what I did on this day.

Together with foodies, deal seekers, coffee lovers, we all got to go to Tim Hortons to get our food and beverage fix. See, foodpanda is hooking us up because from now until the 21st of this month, foodpanda sweetens festive deals for users with limited Tim Hortons® offers a dine in feature like never before. They are offering up to 50% discount and a FREE Paupau Plushie Keyring from participating Tim Hortons branches this holiday season. You can also enjoy up to 15 off your actual bill after that date.

Ms. Patricia Jacinto the Growth and Marketing Director of foodpanda Philippines says "We have always been loving the ways we deliver food for our customers, fast and efficient. We warmly welcome world renowned food brand Tim Hortons in our roster of Dine In partner establishments as they make your coffee, beverage, donut, and food dreams come true. With our app, you can save as much as 50% and get exclusive merch too. As our online delivery platform grows, we want Filipinos to have the Dine In options and give them tons of savings during the holiday season."

Now there's more reason to get your Double Double, Iced French Vanilla and Honey Crullers like what I usually do when I vist Tims. I get to have the fluffy Paupau plushie too and use it for my bags as accessories. Remember, it's only around for a limited time! Don't say I didn't tell you!

Real Robust Challenge Winners Bared

In the Philippines, we've come to see how Robust has inculcated in the lives of so many men... and in the process, fix personal physical issues when they get to a certain age. The brand has recently held a "Real Robust Challenge", a video blog competition amongst the Philippines' most talented content creators as they feature the all natural power packed supplement that contains Epidmedium Extract, Goat Weed, which is a Chinese aphrodisiac. It also has Gingko Biloba Leaf, Ginseng, Dansheng and Dahurian Angelica root, plus L-Arganine, for that long lasting performance.

Racking up millions of views for each video, they announced the top entries at the event a few nights ago. The Real Robust Challenge winners won 300k for 3rd Place given to Elaiza Sy (21,870,184 views), 500K for the 2nd Place went to FCY Channel (24,173,225 views), while the top prize of 1 Million went to VinF TV (41,285,748 views). Other top entries also won 30,000. Mind you, they also gave the prizes that day in cold cash, tax free!

The event was also graced by ATC Healthcare executives, makers of Robust in the country. Also in the crowd was the nice Raffy Tulfo himself, he was really nice talking in the sidelines especially to other vloggers who went up to him to take selfies.

They also announced that this will be repeated next year, but since ATC Healthcare International is feeling extra generous, Robust and Livermarin will be joining forces to give a whopping Php 2 Million for the winner in 2024. Congratulations on a very successful event! I can't wait to join the contest next year, it'll probably be huge as more content creators would take a jab at the prize and enjoy the same benefits that Robust gives.
