By | For kids, Shopping | 7 Comments

Ron was so proud to show his new toy store to me which carries all educational toys!  It had just opened two weeks ago!  He told me that he put up this toy store for his kids.  Playing and learning go hand in hand.  It’s a FUN way to learn.  Every afternoon, after office, Ron picks up Rianna to go to the store to play and spend time with her.  Congrats Ron!! MORE POWER on your new business venture!!

from our good friend, Bubu, owner of Candy corner, our favorite candy store!!!

Javier didn’t think twice when I asked him to come along with me.  I got excited too because I loved the Willy Wonka Movie and watched it several times when I was a kid!  Do stop by the Shangri-la Mall Atrium by the fountain in front of Rustan’s.  This is only til Sunday!

From December 1 to 4, a different kind of world comes to life as Candy Corner, in partnership with Wonka, opens the doors of an enchanted factory that harvests dreams and turns them into candies—the Wonka Imaginarium.

 wonka-imaginarium-golden-ticket_image.jpg

A four-day exhibit that puts the spotlight on Wonka candies, the Wonka Imaginarium allows everyone to bring their candy fantasies to life. Here, you’ll be able to walk into a magical forest with giant bugs and talking trees; enter a tunnel of lost wishes and forgotten dreams; fly and fall from the sky; and learn magic straight from a witch—all to find the rainbow: the dream that makes the happiest of all candies.

“The Wonka Imaginarium is the first of its kind in the Philippines, and we’re happy to be doing this in time for the holiday season,” shares Ricky Andres, President of Candy Corner Philippines. “More than just giving everyone a chance to get to know more about Wonka candies, our main goal is to give people of all ages a great avenue to feed their imagination and to find a different, unique activity for the whole family to share this Christmas.”

A candy brand that uses licensed materials from Roald Dahl’s Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and its two movie adaptations, Wonka’s distinct packaging and colorful taste has propelled it to become Candy Corner’s flagship brand.

“These are quality candies that have found their way into the hearts of many Filipinos,” adds Ricky. “Many of our best sellers such as Nerds and Pixy Stix are actually products of the brand, and that’s why we’re very proud to be distributing their candies here in the country.”

 wonka-candies_image.jpg

The first outlet in the Philippines to combine traditional packaged and novelty sweets with the concept of having customers choose and combine their own selections of treats, Candy Corner has, over the years, consistently provided chocolates and candies to satisfy the local demand for international confectionery brands. Since its humble beginnings as a lone store in 1996, the company, over the years has expanded immensely, and currently has branches across the country.

Camp Wakeboarding

By | For kids, Sports | No Comments

From my friend Clair Concepcion Barberis

 We are Philippine Wake School, a private sector that aims to produce top athletes in the growing sports wakeboard and wakeskate in the Philippines. Our first goal is to introduce the sports to everyone by holding fun camps and clinics in different spots. Our second goal is to unite the local wake community and help the sports to grow by holding events and friendly competitions. Our third goal is to support our local talented athletes by eventually providing them with sport equipments for their training and sponsorships for competitions to represent our country. One of our goals is to promote our country. The Philippines is an archipelago composed of islands and warm bodies of water and our weather suits riding all year, thus making our country a perfect place for riding.

Our events are the following:

Operation Wake Camp – The Ultimate Wake Camp Experience for Everyone!

 

Operation Wake Camp is a wakeboard and wakeskate camp for all ages, from beginners to intermediate level. It’s not just an all wakeboard and wakeskate experience, but the camp also offers other fun off-wake activities! We believe that it’s more fun to ride and to progress if you ride with your friends that’s why at Operation Wake Camp, we make sure that we’ll give you the best wakeboard experience ever! This is the first ever camp in the country. The first one was held in CWC, Camarines Sur and was called Ladies’ First, an all girls wakeboarding camp. Now Philippine Wake School focuses on holding cable wakeboarding camps and boat clinics in areas such as Davao, Pampanga, Cebu, Laguna and Ilocos.

Steezy Sesh

If we have Operation Wake Camp for people who have never tried wakeboarding before and want to give it a shot, we also have Steezy Sesh for aspiring wakeboarders and wakeskaters to progress and learn new signature tricks from professional athletes. The coaches are professional wakeboarders and wakeskaters who are invited to teach and share their signature tricks. This is a good opportunity for the growing community of wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the country to progress in the sport by learning straight from their favorite athletes.

Roxy Skirt Day Sunday

Skirt Day Sunday is a barbeque party and riding session for girls. We have this event just for the girls because we want to give special attention to local girl wakeboarders and wakeskaters to encourage them to try the sport. This is a fun event for the girls to bond and to have something to look forward to every Sunday!

You may check our website www.philippinewakeschool.com for more info.

We would like to tie-up with your campus and explore the possibility of adding wakeboarding to the students’ extra sport activities. The sport is growing in the Philippines and it’s a good venue because of our weather and water. We are also getting a lot of support from local and international brands. Should you want to know more about us, we are welcome to meet and discuss further about our intentions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Chef Javs Cooks for Lola Lita

By | Foodie, For kids | One Comment

 Chef Javs was so happy when Lola Lita ordered from him!  Javs asked me to help him because he was a bit nervous 🙂 I took the opportunity to teach him how to cost his product so that he will make sure he gets his money back on the ingredients he used. So we listed down all the ingredients and the prices.  

It was so nice to visit Lola Lita last Sunday.  Aside from dropping off the food, she toured us around her house and showed us around.  It was so much fun!  Lola made sure we took a photo beside her valuable Sacred Heart statue 

chef-javs-cooks-for-lola-lita-02.jpg

 Javs made his alfredo sauce which he always makes because he likes to eat it too.  Lola Lita asked him to just make the sauce and she will just add on the noodles fresh when it is time to serve

chef-javs-cooks-for-lola-lita-01.jpg

Lola Lita was very generous to Chef Javs! 🙂   Thank you Lola Lita! Javs didn’t want to pay back Mama for the ingredients Mama paid for.  But he said next time he will.  Afterall he has to learn the value of hard work and being able to earn his own money 🙂
