Attention Party Coordinators/ Rants and Ravings - Please Read...





Talents and Coordinators works hand in hand to ensure program success. Consideration matters after. Specially if its out of town. Contract clearly indicated that "decent" accommodation is a must. We avoid long travel at night due to poor vision and safety. Travel time takes 6 hours going back. Trusting the coordinator's words as our booker, she committed to reserve a room for us to stay. We later found out it was her client beach house. After the party at parish venue some guest proceeded there to continue the celebration.


A real disgraced putting us in an attic room with full of servants hanging clothes and undies, very steep and narrow wooden stair with all our luggage really risky to go up. Visible spiders web, dust, dilapidated bed and pillow, Broken pawid walls and No Door.... We felt insulted. After rendering a full effort quality show. Courtesy and respect at least. Looking at some rooms obviously vacant really disappoints us. Although client were nice and grateful, we humbly told them that we will just take the last trip going back. Kids were waiting. We didnt bring our SUV due to annual casa maintenance thats why we decided to commute. The coordinator was nowhere to be found already (supposedly our direct contact). Maybe resting inside aircon room. Client told the driver to drove us nearby bus terminal. Still very thankful to us for having a nice party. Good Lord, It was late already. Tired and exhausted waiting for the 11:30pm bus to arrive. Our saving grace when we found out theres a good pension house just across the terminal. We decided to spend our night there.


My fellow coordinators, always remember Attitude and respect plays a vital role to maintain good working relationship with co suppliers. Specially in this kind of industry. Good Partners means a lot. No matter if its simple crew or well known performers. They will render a quality show and service to give your company good credits. In return, Being considerate of what they need such as basic food or cold water at least before the show start after a very long and tiring travel for almost 7 hours instead of advising them change costume and prepare right away even theres no guest yet. Performers were not robot. Attending to simple courtesy brings drive and appreciation to perform well. Its a sign of humility and concerns. "The Golden Rule Always Remember"...

WHY DO YOU LOVE NUFFNANG?




Why do I love Nuffnang?
Because Nuffnang brings me out to the open.... To be free and transparent finally!!!


Before, my visions and ideas always left behind. Being on the safe side would be better. Failures will just add burden and frustrations. Most of the time, my preference was to keep my mouth shut.


But when I was accepted as Nuffnang member, It boost my drive and confidence. To be a Professional Master of Ceremony, is not an easy task. Clarity of what I am saying is very important. But after the event, everything was over.


Blink...blink... Now its totally different. Being a certified Nuffnanger, I can write and post anything and anytime I want. Supporters/Readers always be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


I love Nuffnang because my animal instinct will be no longer a different character. To be accepted and being appreciated by my fellow nuffnangers gives me a sense of fulfillment.


Nuffnang is a way of life....sometimes happy, sometimes confused, inspired, frustrated, motivated, bothered, complicated, totally intoxicated.


But honestly, I love Nuffnang because it reminds me the feeling of being home.


A second family that brings warmth and support for each and every ones progress.


And for that, I will be happy to bring my family on this very special day.


But if ever weather will not smile and hesitant to give us a bright sunshine on the day of May 28,2011. Me and my husband will still be on the go.....


Keeping my finger cross, No dark entities can stop me from joining this... See You All Fellow Nuffnangers... Cheers !!!!

" Magicians Magic "




Abrakadabra....Alakazammm....Open Sesame..... Those are the common magic words we hear everytime we see somebody performing magic. Is it real or not? Lets admit it, magic brings back fondness of our childhood memories. Reflection of being amazed visibly seen without noticing that our jaw drops already.


I will focus this blog intended for our local magicians only. I am not really a magic fanatic. But being married to a magician means being a friend to them as well. Just like an ordinary people, magicians reflects different personalities. Lifestyles, routine, fashion, packaging, expertise, priorities etc. etc. Theres only one thing that binds them together. Dedication and determination to learn more about the art of magic.




Here in our country, not all citizens aware that several group or brotherhood of magicians were formed. Among those were MAGFI(where my husband belong), IMC, Salamangkeros, Star Aces and many more.... Unlike fraternity, indifference of one group from the other doesnt mean conflict and misunderstanding. Instead, an annual sports activity bonds them together as real brothers in magic.


Recently, some of our good magicians career shines, penetrating local TV industry. Talent shows opens another door for opportunity. Taking the lead serves as an advantage. Not everybody was given a break but at least they tried somehow. Magic Industry starts to create their own trend. That is why, trainings and seminars was being conducted every now and then. Uplifting each other skills means a good income potential for all.


A part of the reality entails struggles and circumstances. There were some people whom we can compare to a leech that destroys the root. Revealing publicly the ethics of magic affects the whole system. Magicians performed and work very hard because they need to earn a living. Basically to provide food for the family. To sustain their children education for a better future. To give a decent home and able to pay all the dues for everyday consumption.


Money makes the world go round... Every reason has its own meaning. Thinking to make everything easier definitely a good strategy but loosing credibility and destroying the majority means self immaturity that leads to brain incapacity.


To all Filipino Magicians, your skills cannot be learned overnight. It demands hard work and perseverance to be called as "Professional". Some might consider themselves as one, but the essence of being a true performer comes from the heart within and beyond. Cheers!!!!

" Domino Pizza Grand Launching of a New Branch.. El Molito Mall Alabang "




May 10,2011, I was invited to attend Domino Pizza Grand Opening of their new branch located at El Molito Mall Alabang. Registration start exactly 4pm and we arrived on time. I saw my fellow bloggers however I wasnt able to mingle with them because the seats were full already. Ribbon Cutting begun, headed by the President Mr.Tong Hong with his lovely wife. Accompanied by some VIP guest, the ceremonial blessing started exactly 4:30pm.


Everybodys paying attention including staff and crew even some dine in customers.
Candles were lighted as part of the ceremony.


Showering of coins and candies right after encourage good luck and prosperity... We had fun catching all the blessings. What makes it more exciting was that, crew were doing the Domino Pizza Cheer. I think its part of their trainings. It develops camaraderie as well.


The event wont be complete without hearing inspiring words from the President Mr. Tong Hong. He explains some details about the store ambiance, fresh look, fresh pizza flavor and the 30 minutes delivery policy. They ensure to follow the standard weighing procedure of their ingredients to make sure that customer will get exactly what they order.


And what to expect next?.... What else but Its Pizza Chow Time!!! First, we were serve to enjoy the Pepperoni Flavor.


Personally, I am not a pizza fanatic. I have my own pizza brand favorite but not to the point of craving for it most of the time. For me, this flavor was fine. Not too much oil, not too thin and not too thick. The serving size and flavors makes Domino Pizza different from one another. Slightly salty on my palette, but its ok. Next Flavor arrived was Hawaiian Pizza.


I can say this flavor is one of the basic but still competitive. Ham and pineapple filling. Just enough to satisfy pizza craving. And before my stomach become blotted, the last flavor I tasted was their Domino Pizza Deluxe.


Among 3 flavors, this will be my bet. Maybe because onion, mushroom,green pepper etc. dominate the flavor. I am not a meat or beef eater. Veggies and greens is my preference.

Thats me! enjoying my pizza with my new found friend from San Miguel Corporation.

Luckily, I was able to sit down with the President Mr. Tong Hong. Doing an ambush interview was a breeze because he was very warm and friendly answering all my questions.


And of course, my day will not be complete without having PICTURE! PICTURE!...Thats Me, my photographer hubby Arcturus, my fellow blogger Arvin (vintersection) and Mr. Tong Hong.
By the way, Domino Pizza has 3 branches already.
a. Marvin Plaza, Pasong Tamo, Makati - 7543030
b. Silver City, Tiendesitas, Ortigas, Pasig City - 5763030
c. Molito, Alabang -- 5533030
Guess what? No franchise. Only one owner for all branches....Super Dooper Admirable isnt it?

Everything was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed and added another milestone in my life I consider. Hoping to attend more bloggers event soon. Thank you Manila Boy and Mr Spanky for referring me. I hope to catch you the best time possible.

More Power Domino Pizza....Cheers !!!
