GSM BLue To Educate Thru GSM BLUENIVERSITY

Back in College Days, me and my college friends celebrate each term with a drink. We drink because it's a way for us also to bond and recount what has happened over the term. And now that I have a family of my own, I still have time time to catch with college friends and we reminisce old memories by catching up and drinking with alcohol. I'm not saying that it's good to drink at all times but its never bad to drink once in a while especially if you just want to bond. and that's what GSM BLUENIVERSITY is telling us through this yearly campaign.

GSM BLUENIVERSITY is a hands-on and fun-filled program and workshop that teaches anyone how to mix drinks and flair-tend like a pro in a leisurely environment. Before it was just a trend and now it has become a yearly program by GSM BLUE. It's goal is to educate HRM students, future bartenders and bartenders-at-heart on how to become confident , knowledgeable and capable in the realm of bartending.

To give us an idea as to how they do it every year GSM BLUE invited members from the blogging community and experience the basic in MiXing of drinks and Flair tending.

One of the Finalist of last year's GSM Blueniversity gives us some of his insights about social drinking.

TRIVIA:

               What is the most loved cocktail drink in the world? answer: MARTINI !

Me and some of my bloggers are listening intently on the discussion.

Some of the others sister products of GSM BLUE.

The bloggers were given also the chance to mix their own cocktail and give it a name as well!

Well I do love these signature shakers from GSM BLUE!

Some of the GSM Mixxers which can be use to concoct your own drinks!

You can also mix GSM BLUE with these Magnolia Fruit drinks to make your own punches at home.

Since GSM BLUE is a hit because of it's sweet and smooth taste , I think all the bloggers enjoyed attending the GSM BLUENIVERSITY mixology event. It has enlightened us that there's no need to intoxicate ones self when drinking, one just have the right information when drink and most of all enjoy it!

Thank You GSM BLUE for inviting us to  be a part of GSM BLUENIVERSITY!!! We all had fun!

I have been a Tomato fan way back 2003 when I was still a senior at College. The First ever product I love at Tomato was there Tote Bags with quotes in it. But from then it has expanded from having  bags, wallets, hair accessories,stylish tops, dresses, shorts, pants as well as swim wear and shoes.

 

What I love most in Tomato is that I can wear fashionable clothes with out my wallet suffering too much. Their tops, dresses, pants and accessories are fashionably priced that you wouldn't noticed that you can purchase an entire look for as low as P2,000 only

Here's a proof. During the Store opening they had invited 3 guest from the Media pool to try shopping for a P2,000 budget only . They were given a couple of minutes to do their shopping and given General Luna Band members as models.

And the winning look was won by the gray dress worn by General Luna's Vocalist.

Tomato embodies reasonably-priced fashion,casualness that is very elegant, sexy and world-class. 

“We are an always-expanding company and we pride ourselves on making the best and hottest fashion available to all our customers,” Tomato’s Marketing Manager Karen Espiritu shares.

Solenn Heusaff READY to SHINE !

Though I'm a mom already, I still take time to ensure that I look nice (though may not be my best !) and decent in any occasion or event that I go to. May it be a school meeting, launches or just a casual trip to the mall, I make sure to that my hair is nice and manageable. I like my hair just the usual; No curlers for me coz' I want it just straight and flowing at my back. But there are days that we don't have control over our tresses. I always make sure to stay it tamed. I hate using starightening irons since I know it will only weaken my hair. May be sometimes my hair's a bit dry because of the weather or I'm not that vain with my hair. I don't usually go to the salon to have it pampered because as always. My top priority is my kids' needs. But if I have more money than the usual, I give my hair the pampering that it needs. But as I've said I'm always wary of my budget most of the time especially that school has officially started, I'm telling my hair to wait a while. But I don't think that will be for long because just like Solenn Heusaff, Yes! the Survivor and Penshoppe model/endorser shares her secret with us why her hair is still stunningly beautiful even with her commitments full on her hands.

Solenn Heusaff for Vitress!

According to Joanna King, Vitress Brand Manager, "Solenn Heusaff is the perfect spokesperson for Vitress because her lifestyle shows the importance of caring for one's hair".

Actually Solenn was handpicked because she's beautiful and as an actress, she usually has different hairstyles making her the perfect ambassador for the product. During the presscon she readily shares that she has been using the product even before she was offered to be the product ambassador. She also said that what she likes best in Vitress Cuticle Coat is that it gives her instant shine anywhere, anytime, may it be in a fashion show or taping.

 The 3 variants of Vitress Cuticle Coat

But for those who tries a lot of hairstyles , THE VITRESS HEAT PROTECT CUTICLE COAT is for you. It protects our hair from the harmful effects of frequent curling and styling.

The also introduced 3 more variant for their Hair Polish Line, The HAIR POLISH STRENGTHENING, HAIR POLISH LONG LASTING FRAGRANCE and HAIR POLISH SUN PROTECT. The HAIR POLISH gives also the instant glossy and sleek look in our hair.

Now I know my hair will no longer wait for that chunk of my budget just to enjoy the pamper it needs. I'm so excite to use VITRESS INTANT RELAX CUTICLE COAT.

Are you a discriminating and adventurous diners? Is your family have varied tastes when it comes to dining out and have a hard time deciding where to dine-out? Just like these group volunteer firemen, 10 out of 70 members and all of Chinese decent, would always hang-out after drills to talk and eat in different restaurants. as always they have a hard time to choose where to eat as each of them had their own preferences for the day. Given their varied tastes, but all leaning to towards fresh and familiar Oriental Cuisine, they decided to open an establishment that serves various Asian specialties along with their after-drill comfort food. as heaven has sent him, Chef Joseph a friend of these firemen buddies, had just came home from his stint as a chef from Japan and in Korea. Chef Joesph was the one who put up the menu and scoured Manila's market just to make sure the restaurant serves fresh ingredients to their customers. After many months of food tasting with their families,finally ASIAN TWIST FUSION RESTAURANT was opened to the public.e

Last June 2, 2011, Asian Twist Celebrated their 2nd year Anniversary. And I was glad I was part of the bloggers invited to celebrate this momentous 2nd year anniversary with the owners themselves.
