GET SOLE: I'MMA WANT ONE + CHA TIME LOVIN'

Last March 29, 2012 the NEWEST brand of SHOES, GET SOLE  was launched at CHAT TIME ETON CENTRIS. Bloggers invited were treated to an afternoon of good tea while having feast on the new GET SOLE shoes.

At the launch brand ambassadors KELLY MEDINA,BJORN BEDAYO and DAVID GUISON were present . although I was a bit disappointed because I wasn’t able to meet my fave fashion blogger AISA AIPAC of Drowning Equilibriums (blog). AISA AIPAC is the female brand ambassador for GET SOLE.

When I got an invite for the launch I was excited since when I saw the shoes, I know it will fit any guy who will wear it. From there on I already visualizing that hubby will be wearing the Get SOLE in Gray colors.

My hubby is not really into fashion. He just wears anything that his eyes will lay on. So on the bright side, I’m not having any fears that he will raid every new shoe that comes out in the market. Between the two of us, I am the SHOE ADDICT. But I’m not really  in particular with brands. The shoe doesn’t need to be pricey. It just have to match my daily routine and for the most part of my shoe purchases, LOVE at FIRST SIGHT prevails!

So with GET SOLE  being COMFORTABLE, SUPER AFFORDABLE and CLASSIC, I’m sure hubby won’t get a hard time matching it with his outfits. GET SOLE has 3 colors that men can choose from : Classic BLACK, Hip BROWN and GRAY tone. It’s sizes ranges from 6-10.

And for only Php599 a pair you can purchase GET SOLE at all AMERICAN BOUEVARD outlets and you can also get your orders DIRECTLY by calling or texting at 0915-567-2808,

Kenny Rogers: It's 3x the goodness with its3 New Side Dishes + Sauces

In eating out in a restaurant, personally I like having all my food with condiments and side dishes. For me my meals are not complete without it. It makes me eat more and that’s why sometimes I don’t know if it should be taken as positive or negative since having them on my meals means I’ll be gaining more weight.

But now I won’t avoid ( just yet ) it because Kenny Rogers has more than ONE great news to share. When we say more it means more than one. Yes Kenny Rogers which is famous for its meals and its wide array and selections of “sides” that will make our visits more worth it:  the MEDITERRANEAN PASTA, EGGPLANT POMODORO and MASHED SWEET POTATO.

The Mediterranean Pasta is a light flavorful medley of premium pasta, roasted eggplant, olives, tomatoes and parmesan cheese tossed in Kenny’s very own Tomato Vinaigrette.

 The EGGPLANT POMODORO is a fire-roasted eggplant baked with chunky,

 Italian Style tomato sauce, topped with parmesan cheese.

Creamy Mushroom, Cracked Peppercorn Sauce, and BBQ sauce

MASHED SWEET POTATO is a break away from the usual mash potato we usually eat. This time it’s SWEET POTATO mashed with a buttery and slightly creamy taste and aroma.  I personally liked Mashed Sweet Potato because it’s Tummy-filling and I’m sure my kids will like it too!

You can have them in regular sizes if you just happen to have a quick fix of it or have it in Large size if you think your tummy has a lot of space for it.

And not only the sides will impress you x3 but Kenny Rogers’s Saucy Roast Chicken will triple its yumminess with 3 more sauce variants to complement its juiciness.

The 3 new Sauce Compliments are:

Cracked Peppercorn Sauce- flavorful gravy dotted with Cracked black pepper

BBQ SAUCE is sweet one that will match both the kid's and adult's taste.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE-as it name suggests it’s very creamy with savory bits of mushroom.

By the way, the SAUCY ROAST Chicken is available in SOLO PLATES, GROUP MEALS, HEALTHY PLATES and COMBO PLATES. This new Kenny Rogers product will be available till June 30, 2012 in all Kenny Rogers branches so visit them starting today.

SM CITY SAN LAZARO 3-DAY SALE: Shop and win an iPHONE 4S!!!

This summer your activities may not only be limited to going out on a road trip or going to the beaches .  But for those who dread the outdoor activities and doesn’t like to do much strenuous activities this summer, my advice is check out the malls for activity.

I know everyone here will agree that it is “super-dupah” hot these days, and there are instances tha I would rather go to the mall to cool-up. You and your family can also do lots of things in the mall. You can hang-out and check the mall’s event and activities. Just like at SM CITY SAN LAZARO.

SM CITY SAN LAZARO started their hot “3-DAY SALE” last April 13,14 and 15, 2012. I went there on its 2^nd day and yet it is only there that I discovered that SM Foodcourt offers a wide of meal selection. I usually shop first before checking the sale items at their SM DEPT. STORE. But this time, I wanted to do it the other way.

I love shopping when I’m with somebody, may it be with friends or family. Shopping is much better if done with people who share the same passion as yours. Just like we did at SM CITY SAN LAZARO . Me and my foodie buddies that day literally had succumbed into “FOOD COMA”. FOOD COMA happens when their so much food that you literally say that it’s like eating for the last time. I know I shouldn’t be complaining. With the sumptuous food right on our tables, you might wish you were also there with us.

 Thank you Lydia's Lechon, Oriental Bowl's, Inihaw Republic for the food. And of course I super love their 

LUMPIANG SARIWA!

After surviving “FOOD COMA”, I think it’s time for us to burn those calories. So me and my group decided to finally check out SM San Lazaro Dept. Store 3-Day Sale. It was my first to visit SM San Lazaro SM DEPT.STORE and I must say the shopping ambiance here is different. The shoppers here are a bit relaxed. When I say it was relaxed, everyone was not rushing to grab and get hold of everything. Everything is in its smooth phase. Maybe it helped that SM San Lazaro is known to be a community mall for those living near the area. The SM Dept. STORE may be full but you can feel there’s no need to rush things. Shopping here is definitely for those who wanted their shopping experience to be some sort of “retail Therapy”. I mean you can shop at your pace and just be relaxed.

.

SM San Lazaro really did make me smile. I’m a fan of bags so when I saw these cute and fancy bubble bags , I know I just have to find out how I can have those bags. It’s very easy just like any other SM MALLS, they wanted it to be easy for their customers.

You just have to:

-Buy at least Php3,000 worth of items at the SM DEPT.STORE.

-Only 1 single Php3,000 single receipt entitles you to have 1 Bubble bag. (Accumulated receipts are not accepted)

And for those who have an iPhone 4s, here’s your big chance to own one.

-Just purchased 1,000 pesos worth of items at SM DEPT. STORE .

-Go to the designated booths and present your Php1,000 worth receipt and fill up the stub and drop it at the  drop-box.

Stylistics Live in Concert Today at Smart ARANETA

Celebrate the music of best-known Philadelphia soul group of the 1970s as That’s Ntertainment Productions, in cooperation with ABS-CBN, present THE STYLISTICS Live in Manila happening on April 12, 2012, 8pm at Smart Araneta Coliseum.  Their special guests are Rico J. Puno and Elizabeth Ramsey.

The Stylistics have been recording and touring for almost forty years and enjoyed twelve straight Top 10 hits from 1971-1974. These include their stellar debut“Betcha by Golly, Wow”, “Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)”, “You Are Everything”, “I’m Stone in Love with You”, “Break Up to Make Up”, and the shimmering sweet soul ballad “You Make Me Feel Brand New”.

 Their early 70s work with producer Thom Bell and his collaborator, lyricist Linda Creed yielded some of the most popular love songs of that era.Known for their sleek, soulful Philadelphia sound, this quartet has been performing for nearly 40 years and became a worldwide-favorite for their showmanship, harmony and style.  Formed in 1968, The Stylistics was originally comprised lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herbie Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. After the original group disbanded in the 80s, Love, Murrell, and Thompkins continued to tour until 2000 and brought in two new members from one set of the Delfonics – Harold Eban Brown as lead singer, and tenor Van Fields who also sang with an a cappella group called A Perfect Blend. In 2011, Fields departed and was replaced with Jason Sharpe (formerly with Heatwave).

In 2008 they recorded their latest album, That Same Way. The new album marks as their first album of new material this century but still filled with sweet soul spirit that initially made The Stylistics famous. Their song, “People Make the World Go Round”, was used by Spike Lee in the soundtrack for 1994 film Crooklyn, as performed by Marc Dorsey.

As That’s Ntertainment Productions brings one of the finest acts of the 70’s, The Stylistics– consisting of founding members Airrion Love and Herb Murrell and newer additions Van Fields and Eban Brown—will definitely spark fond memories in an amazing night for fans of Soul and R&B genres decades ago.

MY FAMILY and I: Zeus Soon To Be a First Grader !!!

My son Zeus recently finished and attended his moving -up ceremonies. Next year he'll be in first grade. But since he is a bit small for his age (he's 6 y/o), he's a bit reluctant when we always brought the subject of him entering "Big School".

That's why these past few days, to help him boost his confidence I always tell him stories about me when I was the same age as he was. And if that was not enough, I always tell him that He was my SON. And that just like Mommy, he'll grow smart too. (Oh well?!)

LJ's Visit at AMERICAN EYE

My family’s health is always one of the top concerns I avoid missing. I have been busy these past few months but I won’t take it as an excuse. Just like a few weeks ago, my eldest son, LJ went home and told me that the ophthalmologist that visited their class told him he had to wear eye glasses.

 An intern checks what's his eye grades. I love the doctors here , they are very accommodating!

Of course at first I didn’t believe him because as kids sometimes they tend to make stories, but of course I believe my son and so the next day I went to visit their class and talk to his adviser. His teacher confirmed that he indeed need eye glasses. 

That's Dra. Joanne Bolinao, especializing with Pediatric Opthalmology. She double checks the other eye tests that the intern did with my son.

I am still in denial so I told her adviser that he will be absent next week. When it comes to their health, I never haggle so I remember the last time I was tweeting that AMERICAN EYE has a Twitter account. So I tweeted them what the doctors at my son’s school said. And I was surprise with their swift response. Imagine they are really answering twitter inquiries. Not that I’m not taking their online efforts seriously but it was indeed a positive impression for me. Since I was the kind of person who’s always online it actually helped me while I’m busy with my online tasks. With that Twitter inquiry I actually booked an appointment for my son’s eye check-up with their branch at American Eye Shangri-La.

My tweet that made my appointment with American Eye faster and hassle-free.

So the next thing I know, the following week we were at American Eye Shangri-la. We have a 3pm appointment with one of the “best” Eye doctors especially in Pediatric Opthalmology, Dr. Joanne Bolinao.

After doing several tests on my son’s eyes, Dra. Bolinao confirmed that he indeed needs eyeglasses to correct his eye defects such as Far-sightedness. But good thing is Dra.Bolinao said that my son’s eye can improve if he continues to use his eye glasses.She also wrote the right prescription glasses that my son needs.

 LJ and Dra. Joanne Bolinao.

 After the eye check up , my son immediately got his own AMERICAN EYE card. This is what he's gonna present everytime he visits American Eye.

So for all of you , who may have eye ailments, I suggest you pay them a visit or tweet them. You will be surprise that they are actually answering your tweets. HASSLE-FREE right? Information about The American Eye Center is listed below.
